Turning on the Power
Turn on the power to the CP1E. The power is also supplied to the NV
through the RE-232C serial port on the CP1E.
If you turn ON the power to the NV after you change the DIP switch pins on the NV back face to
any setting other than default setting, the NV starts up in a special operation mode. You can use
the functions to prohibit accessing the System Menu and to clear the F-ROM.
* Do not use the NV in any settings other than shown below.
Normal operation
(default ) Prohibiting moving to System Menu F-ROM clear
Note 1: The data saved in the F-ROM includes screen data and NV configuration data.
Note 2: Other than the DIP switch setting, you can clear the F-ROM from the System Menu.
Turning on the power to the CP1E
NV startup mode
Turn on the power to the CP1E. The POWER LED indicator on the front of the CP1E lights in
green. The NV screen shows a message as follows:
Note: The message “No Screen data” is shown when the NV has no screen data.
As the NV contains no data at factory shipping, This message is shown accordingly.
Turn OFF all pins. Turn ON pin 2. Turn ON pins 2, 3, and 4.

Displaying the NV System Menu
The System Menu is the special screen that is used to configure the NV.
Some settings such as touch switch adjustment can only be done on the
System Menu.
Accessing the System Menu
Follow the steps below to access the System Menu.
1. Touch the touch panel on the PT as shown below.
(This is common for the entire NV Series.)
1) Touch the upper left corner (A) for at least 2
seconds.
2) Then immediately touch the upper right
corner (B) and lower right corner (C) in order.
Note: Touch the points A, B, and C, one at a time in order. Do not press these points at the
same time.
2. The startup screen of the System Menu will be displayed.
The startup screen of the System Menu will be
displayed.
The next screen will be displayed if you touch
the Setting Menu or Test Menu Key.
To return to normal operating status, touch the
ESC Key.
Note: The system version is the version of the system ROM in the PT.
The default language for the System Menu is English, if there is no screen data in the PT.
The System Menu depends on the PT model. The default System Menu for the NV3W-V1
is used here.
Changing the System Menu language
The language is switchable between English and Japanese on the NV System Menu.
Select Setting Menu -Language.
Touch A for at least 2 seconds, then press B and C in order.

Setting the CP1E Serial Port
To have the NV and the CP1E communications, the both serial ports must
have the same setting. Use the PLC programming tool CX-Programmer to
set the communications on the CP1E.
Be sure to change the stop bit on the PLC from the default 2 to 1
The stop bit for the NV serial communications is fixed to 1 . Therefore, the stop bit of the
PLC serial port must be changed from the default 2 to 1.
NV-CP1E communications setting example
Both the NV and the CP1E support the high speed communication of 115,200 bps.
Connect them in this baud rate.
Set the RS-232C serial ports on both of the NV and the CP1E as follows:
Mode: Host Link
Baud rate: 115,200 bps
Data length: 7
Stop bit: 1
Parity bit: Even
Communications setting for the RS-232C serial port built in the CP1E
Use the PLC programming tool CX-Programmer. Follow the steps below to set the RS-232C
serial port built in the CP1E.
* After this setting is completed, turn OFF and then ON the power of the CP1E.
Connect the CX-Programmer and the
CP1E online using a USB cable.
Change the CP1E operation mode to
“Program Mode” (Stopped).
Upload the PLC settings (including the
built-in RS-232C serial port setting)
from the CP1E.
Set the built-in RS-232C serial port on
the PLC Settings.
Write the PLC settings (including the
built-in RS-232C serial port setting) into
the CP1E.
Turn OFF and then ON the power of
the CP1E. (The settings are reflected
only after the power is turned ON.)
