２Precautions
２-１Test Function
The Test Function is performed on PC, and it has different behaviors with actual NB
running system. A problem may occur due to communication timing, cable
differences and unexpected PC circumstances (such as freeze). When the Test
Function is performed, please consider possible unexpected circumstances on the
actual NB running system and confirm that any dangerous event will not occur
beforehand.

15
４-２Preparation
4-2-1 Confirmation of replaceability
Refer to NB-series Programmable Terminals Host Connection Manual (V108-E1) if the
current used PLC is supported by the NB-V1.
4-2-2 Uploading the project from the existing NB
Start the NB-Designer.
*NB-Designer Ver.1.60 or higher
must be installed in the computer.
1. The procedures in this chapter
assume that uploading and
decompiling are enabled in the
settings of the screen data
transferred to the NB.
A password is also required for
uploading and decompiling. Please
use the password set at the time of
screen transfer.
*The default password for upload is
888888.
2. Select Upload from the Tools
Menu.

16
3. Select Set button, choose
Communication Method and
press OK button.
4. Press Upload Project File.
Select Project Data , Logo File
and Recipe File as needed.
5. Input the project name, and
specify save destination then
select the Save Button.

17
6. Input password for upload, then
press OK button. The file is saved
in the specified folder.
7. Select Import Project from the
HMI Menu.
8. Select the upload .pkg file,
press Open button.

18
9. Input password, press OK button.
The file is open.
Go to 4-2-3 Converting the project
for NB-V1.

19
4-2-3 Converting the project for NB-V1
1. While the NB-Designer is in
offline state and the uploaded
project is opened, right-Select
the HMI Icon and select Change
PT model from the menu.
＊*NB5Q and NB10W have
different resolutions. Please
check the screen.
After the PT is replaced, the
original user edit screen will be
adjusted by related scales
according to the difference of
the resolution of various types.
All the components with screen
display will adjust automatically.
For example, all the
components (such as the
bitmaps, Vector Graphics,
button and lamp, etc.) with
location and size adjustments
can all change their sizes
automatically. However, note
that there are a few exceptions:
as the font size of text strings
and label can’t be changed, the
components using text strings
and label will be restricted to
mainly display the text in the
minimum display area when
size changes, especially when it
becomes smaller as square
components like the Analog
Meter change sizes in a
“square” way, the changed
sizes may disrupt the proportion
among the component sizes,
therefore it requires a second
fine-adjustment by the user.

2. Select NB-V1 device model,
and then Select the OK Button.
*The NB-V1 project data cannot
be converted to NB project.
3. The warning message is
