1-1 NA-series Programmable Terminals
The NA-series Programmable Terminals represent the next generation of HMIs for industrial applica-
tions. They display information on FA manufacturing sites and function as control interfaces while pro-
viding safety, reliability, and maintainability. They provide all of the functions of traditional programmable
terminals with a clearer, easy-to-use interface.
OMRON offers the new Sysmac Series of control devices designed with unified communications speci-
fications and user interface specifications.
The NA-series Programmable Terminals are Sysmac devices that you can use together with the
NJ/NX/NY-series Machine Automation Controllers and the Sysmac Studio Automation Software to
achieve optimum functionality and ease of operation.
If you connect an NA-series Programmable Terminal to an NJ/NX/NY-series Controller, all you have to
do to specify memory in the Controller is to specify the Controller variables for the objects on the Pro-
grammable Terminal screens. This allows you to create screens without being concerned with the
memory map of the Controller.
 High-resolution Display Panels
High-resolution display panels are used to more clearly display large amounts of information than
was possible with previous OMRON products.
 Two Ethernet Ports (Standard Feature)
You can use both Ethernet ports to separate the segment attached to control devices from the seg-
ment attached to maintenance devices. Access is possible from both segments at the same time.
You can connect the following devices.
• NJ/NX/NY-series Controllers
• PLCs
• Computers
• Sysmac Studio
