Enhancement
Function
Ladder Monitor With version-2 NS-series PTs (except for the NS5-V2 and NSJ5), Ladder
Monitoring is built into the PT as a standard feature, so no separate Memory
Card is required. (A Memory Card is required for version-1 PTs, however, just as
before.) In addition, neither version-1 nor version-2 PTs are reset when starting
or ending the Ladder Monitor when Ladder Monitor version 2.8 is used.
These improvements make the Ladder Monitor easier to use and reduce
operating time.
Symbol table transfers
when transferring screen
data
When screen data is downloaded from the CX-Designer, the symbol tables are
downloaded together with it. Likewise, when screen data is uploaded, the symbol
tables are uploaded too.
Holding log and alarm
information when
transferring screen data
It is now possible to select whether log and alarm information is to be initialized
when screen data is downloaded.
PLC data trace reading Trace results from data traces (which is a CPU Unit function) can now be read by
the PT and displayed in time chart format. (CSV files cannot be saved.)
This makes it possible, using just the PT without CX-Programmer, to isolate the
causes of errors that occur on-site.
Addition of European fonts All Russian and Greek characters are now available, and all characters are
half-width.
Video display mode setting It is now possible to select from three patterns for image quality adjustment.
When a visual sensor is connected, even small display characters can be read. It
is now also possible to adjust the display position for RGB display.
SAP (Smart Active Parts) SAP has been added for the EJ1 Modular Temperature Controller, G3ZA
Multi-channel Power Controller, and Troubleshooters.
Temperature Controller
Unit
It is now possible to connect the EJ1 Modular Temperature Controller to the PT
as a host.
Ver. 7.0
Supplement/
Enhancement
Function
Multi-vendor connectivity It is now possible to connect NS-series PTs to the following devices.
• OMRON Trajexia Motion Controllers
• Yaskawa MP-series Machine Controllers
• Yaskawa F7-series Varispeed and VS Mini V7-series Machine Controllers
• Mitsubishi Q-series PLCs
NT compatibility System memory can now be allocated to PLC memory areas in the same way as
for the NT Series, enabling PLC ladder programs to be easily transferred when
migrating from the NT Series to the NS Series.
Holding previous system
memory values
It is now possible to display at the next startup the screen that was being
displayed when the program was closed.
Multilingual system
capability
In addition to English and Japanese, the system now also supports German,
French, Italian, Spanish, and Chinese (both traditional and simplified).
Multifunction Objects Multifunction Objects have been added to functional objects.
With Multifunction Object, multiple processes can be registered and can then be
executed with the press of a button.
Processes that previously required the creation of macros can now be executed
by simply setting properties.
Machine Navigator
function
A Machine Navigator function and a functional object contents display function
have been added. Machine Navigator provides unified control of text and image
files (i.e., “contents”) to be displayed, and the new display function displays
those contents.
Contents requiring association can be managed in ID units, and the display can
be easily changed by simply changing the ID specification.
