NT631(C)

Improved SYSMAC Compatibility for Easier System Construction

Device Monitor Function

The device monitor function makes it possible to read and write I/O memory data and display consecutive sections of PLC data areas. This function greatly improves the efficiency of PLC setup work, including set value input into the Special I/O Units and checks on the settings. Data can be read from I/O memory from a user-created screen to enable application on maintenance screens for monitoring.

Programmable Console Functions

Ladder Programs written in mnemonics can be written and read through the NT631/NT31 screens for easy on-site system maintenance.

Full-area Access to SYSMAC CS1-series PLCs over High-speed NT Link

Connect to SYSMAC CS1-series PLC over High-speed NT Link

• The industry's highest serial communications speed

• Up to eight NT631/NT31 Units can be connected to a single port

• Extends to a maximum of 500m

• Essentially the same performance is achieved for NT Links with eight PTs as for an NT Link with a single PT (for refreshing numeric displays)

Improved Support Software

Greatly Improved Support

Windows Look and Feel environment ensures easy operation, allowing anyone to create screens quickly and easily. The enhanced ON/OFF simulation function of the NT631/NT31 and easy application of existing screen data accelerate product development and designing.

• The arrow keys on the keyboard are used to move elements dot by dot

• Displays element and cursor coordinates

• The window being manipulated can be displayed or no displayed

• Zooms up to 800%

ON/OFF Simulation on Edit Screen

Easily confirm the ON/OFF status of lamps and touch switches from  personal computer.

A simulated screen with standard elements provided can include touch switches can lamps that are easily registered with the Symbol Manager.

Many Standard Elements Provided

In addition to ISO symbols, approximately 1,000 lamp and touch switch elements are provided as standard elements. The preview function makes it possible to select and edit these elements with ease. Furthermore, it is possible to copy image tables or library tables independently.

The image editor makes it possible to enlarge or reduce images

GUI Environment for Easier Operations

Error Log Viewer

Double-click the error message to track down the error on the screen.

Filter

The filter function makes editing easier by displaying only the elements you select for modification.

Online Help

Click the Help icon

whenever you are not sure how to proceed. The information you need will appear by touching the elements on the screen.

Element Alignment

Elements can be top-, bottom-, left-, right-, or center-aligned automatically

Search Function

Translation Support Utility

Currently, translation for label contents in NTST can only be performed manually by opening and editing individual visible string contents in NTST, before downloading applications to a different language PT. The Translation Support Utility enables you to load the memory map image file (.MMI) for the source language and be able to translate the new string contents of the application and generate independent memory map files (.MMI) for the specified target language.

Functions and Enhanced Display Versatility

Mathematical/Interlock Function

The mathematical/interlock function can be used to create screens, greatly eliminating the size of ladder programs and enabling easier program modifications. This function allows up to five arithmetic operations (i.e., addition, subtraction, multiplications, and division) or Boolean operations (e.g., AND and OR) to be used on the NT631/NT31.

Mathematical table

Interlock

Example: While the machine is not ready to operate, "Standby" will appear on the tough switch prohibiting the operation of the machine. When the machine is ready to operate, "Ready" will appear on the touch switch permitting command inputs.

Multi-window Display Allows Optimum Screen Application

Up to three windows can be displayed simultaneously. A window can be moved with the touch of a finger. Furthermore, windows can be opened and closed from the PLC using operations in the Windows Control Area.

Easy Maintenance

System Program Transfer

By transferring a new system program, function and performance can be updated without changing hardware.

System Programs Provided

• For NT31/NT631 : OMRON version (Memory Link) and Mitsubishi version

• For NT30/NT620 : OMRON version, Mitsubishi version, and Memory Link version

• For NT11S

Memory Unit Provides Easy and Immediate Screen Data Transfer

Simply attaching the Memory Unit to the back of the NT631/NT31 allows easy transfer of screens. Up to 2 banks can be registered and it is possible to transfer both system programs and screen data.

Special Utility to Transfer Screen Data

It is possible to transfer screens by using a special software application instead of the NT Support Software. The software application can be set up separately.

Screen Data Checked without Programmable Controller Connected

The NT631/NT31 displays screens, such as lamps, touch switches, and memory table numbers, without the PLC connected, to enable efficient debugging.

DeviceNet Compatible

The NT631/NT31 is compatible with DeviceNet for I/O allocations and message communications, promoting further standardization. With the DeviceNet Interface Unit (under development) mounted, version 1 or older versions of NT631/NT31 can also be connected to the DeviceNet.

English, European, and Asian Language Support

Both European and English languages are supported by -EV1 models. Furthermore, models supporting Chinese, Taiwanese, and Korean are available. Contact your OMRON representative for details.

Conformance to IP65F Ensures a High Degree of Resistance to the Environment

The NT631/NT31 has a flush-surface construction and is highly resistive to severe operating environments. The front panel conforms to IP65F.

IP: International Protection

6: Resistant to dust (protected from solid objects)

5: Resistant to water spray from any direction (protected from water immersion)

F: Resistant to oil drops or sprayed oil

The NT631/NT31 cannot be used in locations where it will be subjected to oil spray over a long period of time.

Conformity to International Standards Ensures Suitability for Exports

The NT631/NT31 conforms to UL/CSA standards and EC Directives.

Protective Cover (Sold Separately)

The Protective Cover protects the surface of the NT631/NT31 from oil, dust, or fingerprints.
