Omron NQ Series compact HMIs replace pushbuttons and lamps
Omron NQ Series compact HMIs replace pushbuttons.
The smallest version of the Omron NQ series is available in colour and monochrome with 3.5” or 5.7” touch displays. It is suitable for replacing pushbuttons and lamps, or text based function-key terminals, by offering more functionality and flexibility without increasing overall costs.
The NQ touch screen offers the functionality to create intuitive screens for the operator with ready-to-use buttons and lamps from the library, alarm handling and even trending and logging of historical data. Five or six function keys are available for commonly used functions.
Updating the HMI application or uploading historical data from the NQ can be done easily and quickly with a standard USB flash drive. This means that you can supply the new HMI application to the end user for on-site updating.
TWO USB PORTS
The two USB ports also allow easy connection and data transfer between the HMI and PC, while the serial communication ports enable connection to many popular devices for the exchange and display of data.
The NQ HMI collects all the data and quickly displays it graphically, and the NQ 5.7 inch version is available in a portrait and landscape mode. Plotted trend graphs can be displayed for a graphical representation of data. The trend can show real time and historical (logged) data with a time-based axis.
Texts can be defined in nine different languages with support for Latin, Cyrillic, and Asian characters. The real time clock and the graphical features, like analogue meters and bar graphs improve machine functionality for the users. Alarms are shown in real time and can be printed, while historical data can be displayed as a trend, or uploaded in CSV format.
Ethernet Connectivity
The NQ HMI connectivity includes RS-232/422/485, USB and Ethernet to communicate with many different Omron and non-Omron devices, like PLCs, inverters and temperature controllers. Data stored in the NQ HMI can be easily transferred to a memory stick or PC.
ALARM HANDLING
Alarms are shown on the screen with their actual status and text message. For each alarm you can define the condition, priority and whether it needs to be logged, so that you can create a history of occurred alarms.
NQ-Designer configuration software makes it easy to create HMI applications. It guides users from start to setup of an HMI project, creating nodes, tags and screens, and the library includes all the basic HMI functions plus extra buttons, lamps, graphics, and meters, including real-time and historical trending and logging.
For screens, users can create pop-up, template and keypad screens, and define the function keys and perform certain tasks, like calculations or read/write actions. The project can also be tested directly on the PC.
