Function
Operation log The following functions have been added to the operation log.
• It is now possible to log the ON/OFF status of a specified address. Using this
function, it is possible to log operations from sources other than a PT screen
by, for example, allocating a communications address to switch a control
panel screen.
• Messages can now be set in the operation log.
• It is now possible to save a history file (a CSV file), and display the operation
log screen of the System Menu from a Multifunction Object.
• Multiple history files can now be saved.
PLC Data Trace The following functions have been added to PLC data trace.
• Now supports data trace of words.
• Data trace results can now be saved in CSV format.
• It is now possible to perform a screen capture of the PLC Data Trace Screen
and save the data as a bitmap (bmp) file.
Screen data transfer When uploading project data from the PT, it is no longer necessary to switch to
the transfer screen, or to reset the PT after the upload is complete. This makes it
possible to perform screen operations from the PT even while uploading.
Multi-vendor connectivity It is now possible to connect OMRON NS-series PTs to the following devices.
• SLC500 Controller manufactured by Rockwell Automation (Allen-Bradley),
MicroLogix, PLC-5, CompactLogix, and ControlLogix
• Modbus RTU-compatible devices
Screen saver The startup time of the screen saver can now be indirectly specified.
Supports character string
tables for alarms/events
Message characters from alarms/events can now be referenced from the
character string table.
Screen Input Prohibit
Function
By turning ON/OFF a specified communications address, inputs for the entire
screen can now be enabled/disabled.
NS5-series models added The following models have been added to the NS5-series.
NS5-SQ10@-V2
NS5-SQ11@-V2
NS5-TQ10@-V2
NS5-TQ11@-V2
NS5-MQ10@-V2
NS5-MQ11@-V2
Ver. 8.1
Supplement/
Enhancement
Function
Model addition The NS15-TX01S-V2 was added.
Multivendor support The PT can be connected to the following PLC:
Yokogawa Electric FA-M3/FA-M3R-series PLCs
Printers The PT can be connected to a PictBridge-compatible printer. (Not possible,
however, for the NS12/10/8/5-V1, NS5-SQ0@@-V2, NS5-TQ0@@-V2, and
NS5-MQ0@@-V2.)
Data Log Graphs An option was added to enable displaying data log graphs without blanks for
intervals when data logging was stopped.
Alarm history clear im-
provement
A setting was added for $SB32 in system memory so that the number of occur-
rences could also be cleared when initializing the alarm/event history.
Number of objects per
screen
The number of object per screen has been increased.
• Functional objects (including frames and tables): Up to 1,024
• Graphic displays: Up to 2,048
Screen switching perform-
ance improvement
The speed for switching screens was improved when giving priority to displaying
graphic displays and frames as the display method. (Project data version 8.1 or
higher is required.)
