The NS10‑TV01B‑V2 is a programmable terminal (HMI) that sits in the middle‑size class of Omron’s NS‑series line‑up, providing an intuitive touch interface between the operator and the underlying PLC or machine controller. The 10.4‑inch TFT LCD delivers 640×480‑pixel resolution with 32,768 colors for the built‑in screen objects and 256 colors (32,768 colors from BMP/JPG) when displaying images, enabling clear, readable graphics and multi‑language screens on industrial equipment. The resistive‑type touch screen is robust enough for factory environments and allows full menu navigation, recipe selection, alarm management, and parameter‑setting without external buttons.
On the communications side, the NS10‑TV01B‑V2 includes two RS‑232C ports and one 10/100‑Base‑T Ethernet port, enabling connection to multiple Omron PLCs (e.g., C‑series, CP‑series, CJ‑series), PC‑based SCADA, and other field devices. The unit supports Omron’s NT‑Link and Host‑Link protocols over serial, as well as Ethernet‑based protocols and file‑transfer functions (FTP), allowing for remote screen updates, data logging, and simple networking. The HMI also features built‑in PLC‑monitoring tools, such as ladder monitor, PLC data trace, and PLC troubleshooter, which help operators and maintenance staff quickly diagnose PLC‑logic faults directly from the touch screen.
Mechanically and electrically, the NS10‑TV01B‑V2 is housed in a rugged front‑panel‑mount enclosure with a black‑case version designed for integration into standard industrial control cabinets. It runs from 24 VDC field power, has a compact depth and mounting profile suitable for DIN‑rail or chassis‑mounted cabinets, and is rated for typical industrial temperature and humidity ranges (typically around 0–50 °C operational, depending on ambient and installation). The large 10.4‑inch screen makes it suitable for applications where complex screen layouts, multiple views, and image‑based operator guidance are needed, such as CNC control panels, packaging‑line HMIs, and multi‑machine station operator interfaces.
