Terminology
The following terminology is used in this manual and in the NS-Designer software.
BCD
(Binary-Coded Decimal)
A system used to represent numbers so that every four binary bits is
numerically equivalent to one decimal digit.
bit
The smallest piece of information that can be represented on a
computer. A bit has the value of either zero or one, corresponding to
the electrical signals ON and OFF.
Data link
An automatic data transmission operation that allows
datacommunication between two or more devices via common data
areas.
digit
A unit of storage in memory that consists of four bits.
FA Factory
Automation
FINS communication
Factory Intelligent Network Service (FINS) is the protocol, which allows
transparent network access.
FinsGateway
FinsGateway is the OMRON's software that provides FA network
environment for operating system on a computer or embedded device
(like NS-terminal). It adds advanced functions, providing applications
with FINS message communications, independent of the network and
an EventMemory that allows shared data including data link.
Host
Indicates the PC, FA computer, or personal computer functioning as
the control device and interfaced with the NS-series PT.
Initialize
Process whereby some memory areas are cleared, system setup is
checked, and default values are set.
Macro
(macro programming)
Indicates the programming language that can be used with e.g. some
screen objects. Please refer to NS-Series Macro Reference Manual.
Memory Card
(Compact Flash, CF)
Indicates the Compact Flash memory Card, that can be used for
storing and transmitting screen data, log data, and transfer the system
programs.
NS Series
Indicates products in the OMRON NS Series of Programmable
Terminals.
NT Link 1:1
Indicates fast communication method (binary protocol) between one
PT (NT- or NS-series terminal) and one host PLC. There is no
communication speed settings.
NT Link 1:n
Indicates fast communication method (binary protocol) between
multiple PT's (NT- or NS-series terminals) and one host PLC.
Maximum PT number and communication speed depends on types of
PLC or communication unit (3 to 8). Communication speed can be
Normal or High-Speed.
PC
Indicates any Personal Computer.
