Omron’s NS series looks like a normal HMI, but
it is not. Designed on Smart Platform, the NS series
provides enhanced communication even across
multiple networks, to manage all devices in
a machine for true industrial machine management.
We provide functions to let you perform diagnoses
and maintenance to make your machine competitive
in an easy way. This is why we call it: one touch
Machine Management. And that’s why it’s more than
just an HMI terminal!

Machine management tool vs. HMI terminal
The NS HMI has, beside the generic HMI functions, many
other functions to be able to use the NS as a real machine
management tool. With the NS HMI you can configure,
commission, maintain and operate many Omron devices and
even third party devices. This means you can simple configure
some settings, display errors or statuses, up- and download
parameters all with the NS HMI terminal.
The NS HMI allows you to create and use the diagnostics
functions for many devices you need to manage your machine.
By providing diagnoses and maintenance functions on the
NS, Omron allows a full insight into the machine’s state and
the flexibility to quickly troubleshoot on-site with minimum of
work for the machine builder, system integrator or end-user.

Using Smart Active Parts: just a few simple steps
Dramatically reduces the effort required to create ladder programming and screens.
A library with more than 2,000 Smart Active Parts is available, which can directly access OMRON PLCs and other devices. You can drag & drop
Smart Active Parts in an application in just 4 simple steps.
With Smart Active Parts you can for instance monitor device errors in understandable text, donwload parameters to devices and check Network
statuses without the need for a computer with software tools.
The SAP library also provides PLC I/O Unit Troubleshooter SAPs
Troubleshooter Smart Active Parts are available
to troubleshoot specific PLC units. When an er-
ror occurs in an unit, the Troubleshooter SAP
provides an easy-to-understand explanation of
the cause of the error as well as which counter
measures to take to resolve the error.
In this way you can quickly resolve errors on-
site even without using documentation.

Single Port Multi Access (SPMA)
The PLC program and screen data can be transferred from a single port!
With SPMA you can transfer the PLC program and HMI project data with one cable connection. It does not even matter if you connect first to HMI
or PLC, you can always transfer the data and keep on operating the HMI or PLC.
The HMI can transfer data across different network levels.

Note: SPMA can be used in CS/CJ-series PLCs with lot number 030201 or later.
Direct Connection to Temperature Controllers and Inverters
Connect OMRON Temperature Controllers and Inverters to the NS-series HMI.
OMRON Temperature Controllers can be connected directly to the NS-series HMI RS-232C port. Data does not pass through the PLC, so ladder
programming is not required. There are many SAPs in the Library for Temperature Controllers. Temperature Controller screens can be created
easily just by pasting objects from the SAP Library onto the screens.
The Omron inverters can also be connected to the NS-series HMI. This makes it easy to read and change parameters for the inverters without any
PLC programming.

Exceptional Functionality
Easy maintenance with the Ladder Monitor
The NS HMI (except for the NS5 series) has a Ladder Monitor built in
as a standard feature. A Ladder Monitor is an application that allows
you to monitor the ladder program in the CS/CJ series PLC. With the
Ladder Monitor you can monitor the execution status of the ladder pro-
gram in the connected PLC without the need to use software (CX-Pro-
grammer). Many useful functions are provided with the Ladder Monitor
like viewing I/O comments, monitor and change values, search
addresses, easy navigation and capture ladder image.
Easily utilizing advanced functions
Data block (Recipe) function
Data blocks (recipe function) allow several numeric values and/or
character strings to be transferred to/from memory areas, such as PLC
data areas. Data blocks can be used to change the system’s production
setup even faster.
Communication drivers
The NS-series HMI can connect to several non-Omron devices. This
means the NS HMI can have communication on one port to an Omron
devices and on the second port to a non-Omron device. Contact Omron
for up-to-date information on the available communication drivers for
the NS HMI series.
Macro functions
The NS provide an extensive set of macro functions that can be used
to perform many different operations.
These functions allows the HMI to process screen display actions or
calculate some data, which was performed by PLC before. Also the
HMI project can be made more interactive using some macro functions
in combination with PLC memory.
Macro functions can be used with screen pages, functional objects, like
buttons and lamps or on specific timing operation.
In general we provide macro functions to perform the following actions
using Conditional and Logical operations:
•Convert and manipulate data
•Read/Write data to a device
•Perform string manipulation
•Perform screen/popup operations
•Store/retrieve data from CF
•Set date/time
•Influence Screen navigation
•Perform loop operation

Trend Graphs & Data Logging
Easily log and display any data over time
A variety of graphing functions are built into the NS-series HMI, such
as the trend graph, which can log data over a longer period of time, and
the line graph, which can display overlapping graphs.
Logging data is stored as a CSV file in the Memory Card mounted in
the NS-series HMI. The data stored in the Memory Card can be read
or deleted from the screen.
Log files can be saved automatically, just by selecting the Save the data periodically Option in the Data Log Setting Window.
Trend Graph Function
Data stored/logged by the PLC can be displayed in overlapping graphs, so a device's operation can be compared for evaluation and analysis. In
addition, up to 1,000 words of consecutive data can be displayed as a line graph, data can be displayed together, and any region can be magnified.
Continuous Line Graph
A graph can be plotted in any position by spe-
cifying the X and Y coordinates of the vertices.
Also, the graph can be moved on the screen by
specifying the movements from the PLC.

Expansion Units
For the Sysmac One series we have three different expansion units available. It is only possible to use one expansion unit on a single Sysmac
One model. Two expansion units are providing extra network possibilities on Controller Link and Ethernet. The third expansion unit allows you to
connect the standard CJ1 units to the Sysmac One model.
Controller Link Unit (NSJW-CLK21-V1)
High-speed, large-capacity data link
The PLC data link function can be used to provide a high-speed, large-capacity data link between Controllers over the Controller Link network.
I/O Control Unit (NSJW-IC101)
Easily connect Special I/O Units and CPU Bus Units
Used to mount Motion Control Units and other Special I/O Units or CPU Bus Units to the NSJ-series Controller, for excellent expandability.
Note: Used to mount Motion Control Units and other Special I/O Units or CPU Bus Units to the NSJ-series Controller, for excellent expandability.
Ethernet Unit (NSJW-ETN21)
