１-２System Configuration
１-２-１System Configuration
The NA series can include multiple NJ units or NA units within a single project as shown in
the figures below.
This guide deals with the projects for the one-to-one (1:1) NJ-NA configuration where a
single NJ is connected with a single NA.
The figure below shows the configuration used in this guide.
The Ethernet is used for communications between the NJ series and NA series, as well as
for the screen data transfer from the PC.

・Version
“1.07” *
* Specify the model and version of
the NJ to be connected. The
versions that are supported for
the NA series are 1.01 and later.

２-２-３Changing the Controller Name
２-２-４Confirming the IP Address
To connect NJ with Sysmac Studio via EtherNet/IPTM, confirm the IP address of the NJ side
as described below.
1.
For easy identification, change the
controller name.
Right-click the NJ icon and select
“Rename”.
2.
Change the controller name to
“NJ_1”.
1.
Double-click [Configurations and
Setup]-[Controller Setup]-[Built-in
EtherNet/IP Port Settings].
2.
Confirm that the IP address is
specified as “192.168.250.1”.

14
２-３Registering Global Variables
２-３-１Registering Global Variables
To exchange data with the NA, register the global variables of the NJ.
1.
Double-click
[Programming]-[Data]-[Global
Variables].
2.
Click the variable table and register
a variable name.
3.
Subsequently, right-click on the
variable table and select “Create
New”. Otherwise, press the “Insert”
key.
4.
Register all of the variables listed
on the right.

15
３Basic Settings
This chapter describes the basic procedure to create an NA project, to specify
communication settings, and to register variables.
３-１Adding an NA
３-１-１Adding an NA
1.
Add an NA to the project.
Select [Insert]-[HMI]-[NA5].
2.
Select an option from among the
list according to the actual unit.
For example, if you use a 12-inch
model, select “12W001□”.
For details on models, refer to
Chapter 7.
3.
Select the version.
4.
An NA is now added, and the
display is changed accordingly.

16
5.
Change the NA name for easy
identification. Right-click the NA
icon and select “Rename”.
6.
Change the name to “NA_1”.

３-４Registering Variables
３-４-１Variable Mapping Scheme
1.When an NJ exists within the same project in which an NA exists, all of the NJ’s global
variables will be automatically reflected in the NA’s variable mapping table.
2.You can select the variables required to create the pages of the NA series and register
them as the NA series’ global variables. (“Create Device Variable”)
The function is called “variable mapping”, and the names of the NA’s global variables
allocated at this time are specified as “NJ controller name_NJ global variable name”.
When NA is connected with NJ at 1: N, each NJ is identified by the controller name.
Precautions for Correct Use
If you change the variable type or other items of the NJ while variable mapping has
been already performed, a mapping error may occur because the change is

automatically reported to the NA.
３-４-２Variable Mapping Procedure
1.
Double-click [Configurations and
Setup]-[Variable Mapping].
2.
The controllers that exist within the
project appear on the table.
When you click the arrowhead to
the left of “NJ_1”, the categories of
the variables defined for the NJ_1
controller appear.
3.
Subsequently, when you click the
arrowhead to the left of “User
Variables”, you can confirm the
variables defined as global
variables.
4. Perform variable mapping for all the
user variables.
Select all the variables from “ALM1”
to “Start” and then right-click on the
rows to select “Create Device
Variable”.
5.
The NA variables are now created.
The names of the variables are
specified as “Controller name_NJ
variable name”.
