Direct Connection Function Section 1-5
1-5 Direct Connection Function

The communication method applied between the NT11 and the PLC is either
a host link or NT link.
The NT11 can be used to refer to the contents necessary for the display infor-
mation or to allocate the bits and words used for storing the input data to any
area in the PLC. The NT11 can directly write and read such allocated bits and
words so as to change the display elements, control the operating status, and
notify the status.
This function is called the “direct connection function”. The NT11 is designed
exclusively for use with the direct connection.
The bits and words allocated by the direct connection function are called “allo-
cated bit” and “allocated word” respectively.
This function allows to read the information to be displayed on the NT11 from
the memory area in the PLC and to write it to the memory table in the NT11.
Also, the data input on the NT11 can be written to the PLC’s memory area.
The NT11 screen status can be switched according to the PLC’s memory
area, and the NT11’s status data can be written to the PLC’s memory area.
NT11 PLC
Data memory area Internal relay area
Auxiliary relay area Timer/counter
Features of the Direct Connection Function

• The bits and words referring to operating status and work instruction infor-
mation and those for storing input data can be freely allocated to almost
any part of the PLC memory. Bits and words in the PLC can be refer-
enced from any memory table.
• The NT11 can directly refer to PLC bit and word data so that it can be
connected to a PLC without changing the PLC program which controls
currently running production line.
• The area to control and notify the NT11 status, including display screens,
ON/OFF of the backlight, and printing of daily reports and display histo-
ries, can be freely allocated to any part of the PLC memory.
The direct connection function allows the NT11 to directly read and write
almost all bits and words in the PLC and to automatically change the NT11
screen display. This function can reduce the load on the PLC so that the pro-
gram development efficiency of the PLC improves.
1-5-1 NT Link
The NT link is a new communication method applied between the NT11 and a
PLC.
The NT link uses the direct connection function and can execute high speed
communications with a CPU (built-in NT link) of the CQM1, C200HS, and
other PLCs.
Features of the NT Link • High speed communications with specific types of PLCs can be executed.
• Writing in units of bits to the PLC memory area is possible. (*)
9
• This can be used even when the PLC is in the RUN mode.
(*) Except a DM area.
The NT link is compatible with the host link. The NT11 screen data and the
PLC programs handled by the host link direct connection can be used with for
the NT link as they are.
1-5-2 Functions of the Allocated Bits and Words

Elements displayed on the NT11 and the NT11 status can be allocated to the
bits and words of the PLC. By changing the contents of the bits and words, the
NT11 can be controlled by the PLC. It is also possible to send data to the PLC
by pressing the function keys on the panel of the NT11.
• Controlling the NT11 by a PLC
The following NT11 functions can be controlled by a PLC.
Screens: Display of designated screens, confirmation of screen
numbers, etc.
Memory tables: Writing to a memory table, copying from a memory table
to another memory table, etc.
System control: ON/OFF of backlight, control of output of daily reports and
display histories at a printer.
• Notifying from the NT11 to a PLC
Data in the NT11 is sent to a PLC when a numeric key is pressed. The fol-
lowing types of data are sent to a PLC.
- NT11 status
- Password input status
- Numeric values input by the numeral keys
- Function key input status
Functions of Display Elements
• Numeral memory table
Allocation destination: Word
Numeral memory

Numeral memory table entry 150 (CIO/IR 0005)
Allocate numeral memory table entries to arbitrary words in the PLC. If word
contents change when corresponding numeral memory table entry is dis-
played on the screen, the value on the screen will also change. Monitoring of
words can also be made easily.
Reading and writing are executed so that the contents of allocated words are
always the same as those of the numeral memory table entries.

Allocate character-string memory table entries to arbitrary words in the PLC. If

word contents change when corresponding character-string memory table
entry is displayed on the screen, the value on the screen will also change.
Messages can be displayed easily.
Reading and writing are executed so that the contents of allocated words are
always the same as those of the character-string memory table entries.
Functions of the PT Status Control Area (PLC to NT11)
The “PT status control area” is used to control the NT11 status. When data is
written to this area in the PLC, the NT11 reads the contents and operates
according to the contents.
[Example of the PT status control area application]
When data is written to the PT status control area, the NT11 will operate as
given below.

Functions of the PT Status Notify Area (NT11 to PLC)

The “PT status notify area” is used to notify the changes of the NT11 status.
When a change is made in the NT11 status, the change is written to this area
in the PLC. By reading the data from the area, the NT11 status can be
checked.

Connecting to a CVM1/CV-series Host Link Unit

CVM1/CV-series Rack-mounted Unit: CV500-LK201
A CVM1/CV-series Host Link Unit (CV500-LK201) has two connectors (com-

munication ports 1 and 2). Either of these ports can be used for connection to
an NT11 by the RS-232C method. However, since the connectors at these
ports are of different types, a cable that matches the connector must be pre-
pared.
• Communication port 1
Communication port 1 is a 25-pin connector for RS-232C use only.
• Communication port 2
Communication port 2 is a 9-pin connector that allows selection of the
RS-232C or RS-422A method. When this port is used with the RS-232C
method, the I/O port selector switch on the front of the Unit must be set to
RS-232C (the upper position).

2-5 Connection to a PLC by the Host Link (RS-422A Type)

Connect the NT11 to an OMRON PLC by using the RS-422A type host link
method.
If the distance between the NT11 and the PLC is greater than 15 m, this
method should be used. The maximum distance over which a connection can
be made is 500 m.
when using the RS-422A method, the host computer and PLC are usually
connected in a 1 to N ratio (more than one PLC), but in the special case of the
connection between the NT11 and PLC, the ratio is 1 to 1.
In order to make a connection to the PLC using the host link method (RS-
422A type), the “Comm. Type” memory switch of the NT11 must be set to the
host link, and the “Comm. Port” memory switch must be set to RS-422A. For
details on memory switch settings, refer to 3-7-1 Selecting the Host Commu-
nication Method (page 73).

When Using the Host Link Method
Compatible Host Units
Some models and series of OMRON PLCs have the RS-422A type Host Link
function built in. With a CS series, CJ series, and CQM1H Board or Unit, and
CQM1H, the Host Link method can be used by installing a Serial Communica-
tions Board. In addition, some C200HX/HG/HE(-Z)E devices have an integral
CPU Unit that can be connected in the Host Link method by installing a Serial
Communications Board.
With the CPM2A and CPM2C, an RS-422A type of 1:1 NT Link can be con-
nected through a CPM1-CIF11 RS-422A Adapter.
Check the model and series of the PLC and the type of the installed Board or
Unit before making a connection.

instruction from the system transfer tool.
Points to observe during transfer of the system program
If any of the following events, or a system error, occurs during transfer of the
system program, the program will not be installed in the NT11 correctly.
• The power to the NT11 is switched off, or the NT11 is reset, during trans-
fer.
• The power to the personal computer that is running the system transfer
tool is switched off, or the personal computer is reset, during transfer.
• The cable connecting the personal computer running the system transfer
tool and the NT11 becomes disconnected or sustains a wire breakage
during transfer.
• Transfer is terminated by pressing any two of the function keys on the
panel of the NT11.
• Transfer is terminated by pressing the ESC key of the personal computer
running the system transfer tool.
In the event of any of the above, there is a possibility that the NT11 will not
operate or that unpredictable malfunctions will occur.
To prevent this, switch DIP switch SW2-6 ON to erase the system program
after the problem has occurred. For details on erasing the system program
with the DIP switch, refer to “Method for Erasing the System Program”
(page 68).
Method for Erasing the System Program
In order to erase the system program, the system program area must be
cleared. On shipment there is no data in the system program area and there-
fore the system program can be transferred without having to erase an exist-
ing system program first; however, if a system program already exists it must
be erased before the new one can be transferred.
The following is the procedure for erasing the system program.
Operation 1. Set DIP SW2-6 to the ON position and turn on the power or reset: the fol-
lowing screen will be displayed.

neously pressing any two of the four function keys on the panel of the
NT11. The same result is achieved when the NT11 receives a transfer end
instruction from the support tool.
Precautions to be Observed During the Screen Data Transmission
When any of the following or a system error occurs during the screen data
transmission, the transmitted screen data will not be registered correctly to
the NT11. If an error message is displayed in the System Menu and the Trans-
mit Mode cannot be selected, the screen data memory needs to be initialized.
• The power to the NT11 is interrupted or the NT11 is reset.
• The power to the computer on which the support tool is running is inter-
rupted or the computer is reset.
• The cable connecting the NT11 to the computer on which the support tool
is running is disconnected or has a broken wire.
• Screen data transfer is terminated by pressing any two of the function
keys on the panel of the NT11.
• The ESC key on the support tool is pressed to end the transmission.
When the power to the NT11 is turned ON or reset, the screen data is
checked. However, if any of the above occurs during the screen data trans-
mission, the screen may disappear and other unexpected problems may
occur.
In the case of such problems, set DIP-SW2-2 to ON to initialize the memory.
For the memory initialization by using the DIP switch, refer to 3-4-2 Initializa-
tion by Using the DIP Switch (Forced Initialization) (page 65).
3-7 Setting the Conditions of Communications with the PLC

by Using the Memory Switches
The communications between the NT11 and a PLC are called the host com-
munications.
The NT11 can be connected to a PLC by the host link or NT link. The link can
be selected by setting the memory switch. Also, the host link baud rate, auto-
matic reset function, etc. are set with the memory switches.
This section describes the communications condition settings by using the
memory switches.
Memory Switches The NT11 has the memory areas used to store the PLC connection method,
communications conditions, system settings, etc. which can be used as the
switches and called the “memory switches”. Since the memory switches use
the flash memory, the stored data can be held even when the power supply is
turned OFF.
Setting Functions and the Memory Switch Menu
The memory switches can be set easily by using the memory switch menu in
the System Menu.
The following settings can be made with the memory switches. Refer to the

4-2-1 Classification of Screens

The NT11 is provided with the following types of screens which are classified
by the display method.
• Normal screen
• System screen
The screen type is determined by the screen number.
Normal screens (screen numbers 1 to 250)
These screens can be used without restriction by the user to create various
kinds of monitor and setting screens, including fixed displays, character dis-
plays, numeral displays, and bar graph displays.
System screen (screen number 0)
The system screen is reserved by the NT11 for system applications.
Screen No. 0 ..... Blank screen

Screen Display Section 4-2
4-2-2 Screen Attributes

Assigning an attribute to a screen makes it capable of a special function when
it is displayed. For example, when an attempt is made to display a screen for
which the “password” attribute is set, a message requesting input of the pass-
word will be displayed and the specified screen will not be displayed until the
password has been input.
Set screen attributes for each screen by using the “screen selection” screen
of the support tool.
It is possible to set more than one of the following attributes for a screen.
Numeral setting attribute This attribute makes it possible to use numeric keys on the panel of the NT11
to input numerical values on screens on which numerical values have to be
set.
For numeral setting, the write channel, display position, and display method
must be set.
Password attribute This attribute ensures security by requesting the input of a password before
the screen is displayed.
If an incorrect password is input, the screen will not be displayed.
The password is set as a four-digit numerical value.
Display history attribute The following three types of data are recorded each time a screen is dis-
played:
Display time: Time when the screen was displayed
(month, day, hour, minute)
Screen number: Screen number of the displayed screen
Screen comment: The comment set for the displayed screen
The recorded data can be printed out using the printing function of the NT11.
Menu screen attribute This attribute makes it possible to switch to another screen by using the
numeric keys.
Assigning the screen numbers of destination screens to numeric keys [1]
through [4] enables switching to these screens by numeric key input.

Procedure 1. Use the support tool to allocate the PT status control area (PLC to PT) to
the PLC memory.
2. Create a PLC program to write the number of the displayed screen to the
“screen switch setting word” in the PT status control area.
Reference Use a 4-digit BCD (binary-coded decimal) value to set a screen number.
If a screen has been switched by operating the PT status control area (PLC to
PT), the contents of the “currently displayed screen word” in the PT status
notify area (PT to PLC) also change.
• Screen switching timing
The NT11 screen switches when the contents of the “screen switch setting”
have changed. To re-specify the number of the currently specified screen,
first write the value 0000 to clear the screen before writing the appropriate
screen number.
111
• Use of the screen switching strobe

Create a program to read the number of the currently displayed screen and
to write the number to the “screen switch setting word” at the leading edge
of the “screen switching strobe” of the PT status notify area. This program
enables screen switching by using the Menu screen on the NT11 and elim-
inates repeated setting of the same screen number. If the screen switching
is not executed on the NT11, the screen switching strobe does not need to
be checked.
For the screen switching strobe, refer to the “notifying the displayed screen to
the PLC” mentioned below.
Example of Display Screen Switching
This example operates the PLC switch (bit) to switch the NT11 display screen.
• Support tool settings
Make the following settings with the support tool:
PT status control area: Word 0100
PT status notify area: Word 0110
Screen number to be created: Screen No. 2 and No. 3
• PLC ladder program
Create a PLC ladder program as follows:
00002
@MOV(21) (1)
#0002 Screen number
100 Screen switch setting word
00003
@MOV(21) (2)
#0003 Screen number

1,2,3... 1. Screen No. 2 is displayed on the NT11 when bit 00002 turns ON.
2. Screen No. 3 is displayed on the NT11 when bit 00003 turns ON.
3. When the screen switch strobe flag turns ON, the number of the currently
displayed screen is read and written to the currently displayed screen word
in the PT status notify area. In this case, the NT11 will not write the same
screen twice.
5-2-3 Notifying the Display Screen to the PLC

(To Display the Number of Currently Displayed Screen)
The following describes the processing to display the number of currently dis-
played screen of the NT11.
This processing reads the data from the PLC status notify area.
To indicate that the screen has switched, use the screen switch strobe flag.
To display the number of the currently displayed screen, use the currently dis-
played screen word.
When the screen has switched, the NT11 notifies the following to PT status
notify area (PT to PLC) allocated to the PLC.
112
Screen switch notification: Screen switch strobe flag of the PT status word
New screen number: Currently displayed screen word
By reading the currently displayed screen word when the screen switch strobe
flag has turned ON, the number of the currently displayed screen on the NT11
is displayed.

Procedure 1. Use the support tool to allocate the PT status notify area (PT to PLC) to
the PLC memory.
2. Create a PLC program to read the “currently displayed screen word” in the
PT status notify area when the “screen switch strobe flag” in the PT status
notify area has turned ON.
Reference
• The contents of the “currently displayed screen word” are updated also by
switching the screen by using the menu screen function of the NT11.
• For details on the menu screen function, refer to 4-7 Menu Screen Func-
tion (page 99).
Example of Reading the Number of Currently Display Screen
This example gives a PLC program that reads the screen number each time
the screen is switched. In this example, the number of the previous screen is
also stored.
Make the following settings with the support tool:
PT status notify area: Word 0110

1. When the NT11 screen display switches and the screen switch strobe flag
(bit 11212) turns ON, the contents of DM0100 are transferred to DM0101.
The number of the previously displayed screen is stored in word 0101.
2. The new screen number notified by the NT11 is read and transferred to
DM0100. The number of the currently displayed screen is stored in
DM0100.

Memory Table Entries and Bar Graph Section 5-3
5-3 Memory Table Entries and Bar Graph

This section describes allocation of the memory table entry to PLC words, and
changes to the contents of words necessary to display characters, numerals,
and graphs by communicating with the PLC using the host link/NT link.
For the functions relating to memory tables and bar graphs, refer to 4-3 Areas
for Control/Notification (page 89) and 4-5 Bar Graphs (page 96), respectively.
Writing Words to the Character-String Memory Table Entries
Since the character-string memory table entries can be allocated to the words
in the PLC, the PLC can write data to the character-string memory table
entries or the initial values can be set when creating the screen data.

• Displaying the numeral memory table entry

Numerals can be displayed in three different ways according to the con-
tents of the numeral memory table entry, as mentioned below.
The most significant digit (digit 4 of a single word or digit 8 of a double
word) is processed in different ways.
Decimal display without signs: If the most significant digit is “F”, it is han-
dled as “0”, and the most significant digit
other than “F” and other digits are han-
dled as stored in the allocated words.
Decimal display with signs: If the most significant digit is “F”, it is han-
dled as “–” (minus sign), and the most
significant digit other than “F” and other
digits are handled as stored in the allo-
cated words.
[Numeral memory table display examples]
• When the data are numeral data (0 to 9)
Start Decimal without sign 123456
3 4 5 6
Decimal with sign −123456
Start + 1 F 0 1 2 Hexadecimal F0123456
• When the data contain characters (A to F)

Decimal without sign 123B56
Start 3 B 5 6
Decimal with sign −123B56
Start + 1 F 0 1 2 Hexadecimal F0123B56
If the hexadecimal data (A to F) are stored when the decimal display has
been set, the alphabets are displayed.
If the number of display digits has been set to be smaller than the maxi-
mum number of digits of the registration words (4 digits for 1 word; 8 digits
for 2 words), the contents of the allocated words are not displayed and “*”
symbols will be displayed at all digits.
If the most significant digit is “F” when “decimal with signs” has been set,
the numeral is handled as a negative number. The maximum number of
digits of the negative number becomes smaller than that of the positive
number by 1 digit.
Reference The actual display will vary according to the “zero suppress” setting and deci-
mal fraction setting as well as the contents mentioned above. Refer to the “NT-
series Support Tool Operation Manual” (V061-E1-@).
• Contents of the character-string memory table entry
A character-string is stored in the allocated words beginning with the first
word in half-size characters.
Two half-size characters are stored in one word. One memory table entry
can store up to 10 words (20 characters).

Reference When it is necessary to display changing data such as monitored data of

words in the PLC, use the numeral and character-string memory tables. This
must be used to change the display contents (contents of memory table entry
or words).
Procedure 1. Use the support tool to allocate the numeral and character-string memory
table entries to the PLC memory.
2. Register the memory table entries for the numerals and character-strings
to be displayed when creating the screen data by using the support tool.
To display a character-string, use “character display” and specify the char-
acter-string memory table entry by using the support tool.
To display numerals, use “numeral display” and specify the numeral mem-
ory table entry by using the support tool.
3. Create a PLC program to write the contents of numerals and character-
strings to be displayed on the NT11 to the PLC words.
Application Example of the Numeral Memory Table Entries Allocated to the PLC Words
This example gives the procedure to directly display the contents of the words
allocated as the numeral memory table entries in the PLC memory. The NT11

Reference
1. Use the support tool to allocate the PT status control area (PLC to PT) to
the PLC memory.
2. Register the memory table entries for the numerals and character-strings
to be displayed when creating the screen data by using the support tool.
To display a character-string, use “character display” and specify the char-
acter-string memory table entry by using the support tool.
To display numerals, use “numeral display” and specify the numeral mem-
ory table entry by using the support tool.
3. Set the copy source data to the memory table entry when creating the
screen data by using the support tool.
Use “table edit”.
4. Create a PLC program to write the copy type, copy destination memory ta-
ble entry number, and copy source memory table entry number to the
“copy memory table entry” setting word in the PT status control area.
• Order for writing to the PT status control area (PLC to PT)
First write the “copy destination memory table entry number”, and then,
write the “copy source memory table entry number” to the PT status control
area (PLC to PT).
The NT11 reads the area sometimes when the PLC is writing the settings.
If the “copy source memory table entry number” has been written first and
is changed, an unexpected memory table entry may possibly be changed.
• Allocated words that the NT11 reads
The NT11 reads the allocated words in the PLC for the memory table en-
tries which need to be displayed. If the copy source memory table entry is
allocated to a PLC word, it may sometimes be used at the initialization only.
• Use of the “copy type”
Copy will not be executed when the “copy type” is other than “0” or “1”. The
memory table entry copy is executed only when the contents of the area
are changed. To repeat copying of the same copy source and same copy
destination, write a value other than “0” or “1” for the copy type, and then,
write a correct value again.
• Copying a numeral memory table entry
If the display method or the number of registered words include discrepan-
cies, a numeral memory table entry may not be copied and displayed cor-
rectly.

Application Example of Copying of a Character-String Memory Table Entry

This example gives a PLC program to switch the character-string display on
the screen by using the memory table entry copy operation as the allocated
bit is turned ON and OFF.

5-3-4 Upgrading Bar Graphs

(Changing the Contents of Allocated Words)
The following describes the procedure to upgrade the bar graph display on the
NT11 by changing the contents of the allocated words.
To change the bar graph display on the NT11, change the contents of the PLC
words to which the numeral memory table entries have been allocated.
The numeral memory table entries can be allocated to the following PLC
areas:
Allocated Words
Either one or two words can be allocated at the host for each numeral mem-
ory entry. Words can be allocated in the following host (PLC) areas.
Link
Link
TU --- --- --- --- TC Area, No
CU --- --- --- --- TC Area, No

*1: LR 00000 to LR 00199 are converted to CIO 01000 to CIO 01199.

*2: The EM Area is supported only by the C200HX/HG/HE(-Z)E PLCs.
The range of respective area varies with the type of PLC. Refer to Appen-
dix H Special Characters (page 163).
Reference
• The bar graph display cannot use hexadecimal numbers. If hexadecimal
numbers are set, the bar graph will not be displayed.
By writing a negative number (whose most significant digit is “F”) to the al-
located word of a graph set as “Sign display “No””, the graph display will
become 0% and the % display will show “*** %”.
• For the procedure to write numeral values to the allocated words of the
numeral memory table entries, refer to 5-3-1 Allocation Words and Dis-
play of Memory Table Entries (page 117).
125
For the procedure to change the contents of the numeral memory table en-
try (PLC words), refer to 5-3-2 Changing Displayed Numerals or Character
Strings (Changing the Contents of Allocated Words....Direct Specification)
(page 120).
5-4 Numeral Setting

This section describes the method used to find the numeral input using the
numeral setting function, when communicating with the PLC using the host
link/NT link.
For details on the numeral setting function, refer to 4-6 Numeral Setting
(page 97).
5-4-1 Notification of Numbers to the PLC

This section describes how the numerical data input at an NT11 is ascer-
tained by the PLC.
In order to determine when numerical data has been input at the NT11, the
numeral setting strobe flag in the PT status notify area is used. In order to
determine the upgraded numeral memory table entry number, the “content
upgrade memory table entry” in the PT status notify area is used.
When numerical data is input at the NT11, this is automatically notified to the
PT status notify area (PT ® PLC) allocated in the PLC memory as follows.
Notification of upgrade: PT status numeral setting strobe flag
turned ON (1)
Upgraded numeral table entry number:Stored in the “content upgrade
memory table entry”
When the PLC reads the “content upgrade memory table entry” at the leading
edge of the numeral setting strobe flag, it determines the numeral memory
table entry number in which the numerical data that was changed at the NT11
is stored.

When the numeral setting strobe flag bit has been notified to the PLC it
returns to the OFF (0) status.
For details on the method for storing a number in the word allocated for the
numeral memory table entry, see “Allocation Words and Display of the Mem-
ory Table Entries” (page 4).
• Restrictions on allocating words
The PT status notify area can be allocated to the PLC memory areas listed
in the following table.

E EM Area *2

The range of each memory area differs according to Appendix H Special
Characters (page 163) for more details.
Procedure 1. Use the support tool to allocate the PT status notify area (PT ® PLC) to the
PLC memory.
2. Using the support tool, create a numeral setting screen and allocate the
numeral memory table entry to the PLC memory.
3. Create a PLC program for reading the “content upgrade memory table en-
try” in the PT status notify area when the numeral setting strobe flag in the
PT status notify area comes ON (1).
4. Read the allocated word for the numeral memory table entry number read
in step 3.
127
Application Example This example shows the reading of the numeral memory table entry number
after a value has been changed by inputting numerical data at the NT11.
Make the following settings using the support tool.
Allocated word for the PT status notify area: CIO/IR 0110
Numeral memory table entry No.3: DM 0005 (saved word: One)
Numeral memory table entry No.4: DM 0006 (saved word: One)

1. When the numeral setting strobe flag (bit 11211) comes ON (1), the con-
tents of CIO/IR 0111 (the word where the content upgrade memory table
entry is located) are transferred to DM 0105. The number of the numeral
memory table entry that contains the upgraded data is stored in DM 0105
(in this case it is 003 or 004).
If the numeral memory table entry is allocated to a PLC word, the value in-
put to it can be read easily by referring to the allocated word.
In this case, the contents of numeral memory table entry No. 3 are stored
in DM 0005 and the contents of numeral memory table entry No. 4 are
stored in DM 0006.

Print display history YES NO
Print daily report YES NO
Note: When "screen display = yes" is set, the
backlight is lit; when "screen display =
no" is set, the backlight is off.
The NT11 functions that can be controlled from the PLC are listed below:
Whether the screen is displayed or not
Whether display histories are printed or not
Whether daily reports are printed or not
Note Since the PT status control bits remain unaffected even if the NT11 status
changes in accordance with the screen attribute and memory switch settings,
it can happen that the status indicated by the PT status control bits does not
agree with the actual status of the NT11. For example, the screen may be off
although the screen display setting is “ON”. In situations like this, control the
NT11 by using the PT status control bits.
• Screen display (bit 15)
The screen display bit determines whether the backlight is lit or unlit
(whether the screen is displayed or not). It is used to prolong the service
life of the backlight and prevent the formation of an afterimage. When bit
15 is set to OFF (0), the backlight is switched off.
Once the screen has been switched off, it can be switched back on either
by switching bit 15 ON (setting it to “1”) or by pressing an NT11 key; this
will cause the backlight to come back on.
129
Reference
1. Instead of switching bit 15 ON, a screen number can be specified to switch
to that screen, in which case the screen will be displayed. For details on
screen switching, refer to 5-2-2 Switching the Screen Display (page 110).
2. By setting an NT11 memory switch, it is possible to make the backlight go
off automatically after no operations have been performed for a set length
of time.
• Display history print (bit 5)
”Display history printing” designates printing of the display history data re-
corded in the NT11 at a printer. When bit 5 is set ON (set to “1”), all the
recorded display history data is printed out once. To print it out a second
time, bit 5 must be switched OFF (set to “0”) and then switched back ON
(to “1”).
Reference For details on the data recorded in the display history and the printing format,
refer to 4-10 Daily Report/Display History Printing Function (page 102).
• Daily report print (bit 4)
“Daily report print” designates printing of the contents of PLC words and
set characters in accordance with a format set using the support tool.
When bit 4 is switched ON (set to “1”), the contents of the specified words
are read from the PLC and output to the printer once in the specified for-
mat.
To output the data to the printer again, bit 4 must be switched OFF (set to
“0”) and then switched back ON (to “1”).
Reference Settings such as the printing format and word settings are made by using the
support tool. For details on the support tool setting procedures relating to the
daily report printing function, refer to 4-10 Daily Report/Display History Print-
ing Function (page 102).
5-5-2 How to Control NT11 Functions

This section describes how to control the functions of the NT11.
The PT status control area (PLC ® PT) can be allocated to the PLC mem-
ory areas listed in the following table.
Link
Link
TU --- --- --- --- TC area, No
130
CU --- --- --- --- TC Area, No
Link

The range of each memory area differs according to the PLC type. Appen-
dix H Special Characters (page 163) for more details.
Procedure 1. Use the support tool to allocate the PT status control area (PLC ® PT) to
the PLC memory.
2. Create a PLC program to write control data to the “PT status control bits”
of the PT status control area.
• Control timing of PT status control bits
The PT status control area (PLC ® PT) is not read when the NT11 starts
up. It is only read, and control is only executed, when the contents of the
PT status control area are changed after the NT11 has been started up.
Since control of the NT11 statuses is executed after the bits corresponding
to the PT status control bits have changed, to execute control again the
corresponding bits must be specified again.
Example use of the PT status control bits
The example below shows how the PT status control bits are used to execute
daily report printing.
• PLC program

Input of incorrect passwords
• PT operation status (bit 15)
When the NT11 is in the RUN mode this bit is ON (“1”). In other modes,
and when the system menu is displayed, it is OFF (“0”). When it is OFF
(“0”), the allocated bits and words cannot be read or written to.
• Screen switching strobe (bit 12)
When the screen displayed by the NT11 is switched by an instruction from
the PLC, or by the standalone function, the screen switching strobe comes
ON (“1”). On notification to the PLC, it goes OFF (“0”).
• Numeral setting strobe flag (bit 11)
When a numerical value has been set in a numeral memory table entry us-
ing the numeral setting function of the NT11, the numeral setting strobe
flag is ON (“1”). On notification to the PLC, it goes OFF (“0”).
132
For details on how the numeral setting strobe flag is used, refer to “Notifi-
cation of Numbers to the PLC”.
• Password input error flag (bit 9)
If a value that does not match the password registered in NT11 password
setting is input in three successive attempts, the password input error flag
comes ON (“1”). On notification to the PLC, it goes OFF (“0”).
For details on how the password input error flag is used, refer to 4-8 Pass-
word Screen Display Function (page 100).
5-6-2 Reading the NT11 Operating Statuses

This section explains the actual procedures used to determine the NT11 sta-
tuses and operating statuses.
Note To ensure system safety, be sure to make a program which periodically reads
the PT operating status bit in order to confirm that the PT is operating nor-
mally.
In order to ascertain the NT11 operating statuses, the PT status notification
bits are used.
The NT11 automatically notifies information such as operating statuses to the
PT status notification bits in the PT status notify area (PT –> PLC) allocated in
the PLC memory, as follows:
Notification of operating mode: “PT operation status”
Notification of screen switching: “Screen switching strobe”
Notification of numerical value updates: “Numeral setting strobe flag”
Notification of password input mistakes: “Password input error flag”
The PT status notify area (PT ® PLC) can be allocated to the PLC memory
areas listed in the following table.
Link
Link
TU --- --- --- --- TC Area, No
CU --- --- --- --- TC Area, No
Link
133

The range of each memory area differs according to the PLC type. Appen-
dix H Special Characters (page 163) for more details.
Procedure 1. Use the support tool to allocate the PT status notify area (PT ® PLC) to the
PLC memory.
2. Write a PLC program to read the “PT status” word of the PT status notify
area and check each bit status.
• Report timing of PT status notification bits
The information in the PT status notify area (PT ® PLC) is written to the
PLC whenever there is a status change during operation of the NT11.
Example of use of the PT status notification bits
The example below shows how the PT status notification bits are used to
check the NT11 status.
PT status notify area allocated word: CIO/IR 0110
PT error storage area allocated word: DM0001

#2 NT11 operating, password input error
DM0001 PT status error storage word
1. When “PT operating status” (CIO/IR 11215) goes OFF (“0”), “1” (NT11
stopped) is sent to DM0001.
2. If “password input error” (CIO/IR 11209) comes ON (“1”), while “PT oper-
ating status” (CIO/IR 11215) is ON (“1”), “2” (NT11 operating, password in-
put error) is sent to DM0001.

6-3 Inspection and Cleaning

Clean and inspect the NT11 regularly to ensure that it is always used in its
optimum condition.
Cleaning Method If the display is dirty the screen is difficult to see. Clean the screen from time
to time as follows.
• In daily cleaning, wipe the display with a soft dry cloth. If the soiling is par-
ticularly heavy, attempting to remove it by wiping with a dry cloth may
damage the front sheet of the Unit. In this case, wipe with a damp cloth.
• If the soiling cannot be removed with a dry cloth, wet the cloth with diluted
neutral detergent (2%), wring it out well and wipe the display with it.
• If rubber or vinyl products, tape, etc., are left stuck to the display for long
periods they will cause staining. If such items are stuck to the display,
remove them during cleaning.
Note Never use volatile solvents such as benzene or thinners, or chemical dusters.
Otherwise the product may malfunction.
Inspection Method In normal environments, inspect the NT11 at intervals of between 6 months
and a year. In environments that are extremely hot and humid, or very dusty
environments, shorten the inspection interval.

NT11 Internal Processing
When host link/NT link is used, the following processing is executed inside the NT11. Processing is divided into
two types: periodic processing and event processing.
Periodic Processing
When the NT11 is in the RUN mode it executes the following internal processing cyclically. The contents of all
the allocated bits and words used for screen display are read from the PLC at one time, allowing high-speed
processing.

elements that have to be read from the PLC (PT→PLC) PLC
are registered in the PLC.
Reading of allocated bits and words (PT←PLC) The contents of the allocated bits and words registered
in the PLC are all read at one time.
Note (1) Only the data of the PLC Status Control Area and data for currently displayed screens is read from
the PLC.
Even if the contents of the PLC words allocated as memory table entry entries are changed, the
data are not upgraded at the NT11 unless these memory table entries are used for screen displays.
(2) The maximum number of bits/words that can be read is 120 words per screen.
If the number that can be read is exceeded, the data are not upgraded.
157
NT11 Internal Processing Appendix F
Event Processing
When the status of the NT11 changes during operation, the processing for writing the changed data to the rel-
evant area of the PLC memory is executed.
This kind of processing is only executed when statuses change. When changes occur simultaneously, the pro-
cess is executed in accordance with the order of priority.
