abnormality occurs due to malfunction of the NSJ Controller or another external factor affecting the NSJ Controller operation. Not doing so may result in
serious accidents.
• Emergency stop circuits, interlock circuits, limit circuits, and similar safety
measures must be provided in external control circuits.
xx
3
Safety Precautions
• The NSJ Controller will turn OFF all outputs when its self-diagnosis function detects any error or when a severe failure alarm (FALS) instruction is
executed. Unexpected operation, however, may still occur for errors in the
I/O control section, errors in I/O memory, and other errors that cannot be
detected by the self-diagnosis function. As a countermeasure for all such
errors, external safety measures must be provided to ensure safety in the
system.
• The NSJ Controller outputs may remain ON or OFF due to deposition or
burning of the output relays or destruction of the output transistors. As a
countermeasure for such problems, external safety measures must be
provided to ensure safety in the system.
!WARNING Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the NSJ Controller.
Doing so may impair the safety functions.
!WARNING Confirm safety before transferring data files stored in the file memory (Memory Card or EM file memory) to the I/O area (CIO) of the Controller Section
using a Programming Device. Otherwise, the devices connected to Output
Units may malfunction regardless of the operation mode of the Controller Section.
!WARNING Fail-safe measures must be taken by the customer to ensure safety in the
event of incorrect, missing, or abnormal signals caused by broken signal lines,
momentary power interruptions, or other causes. Serious accidents may
result from abnormal operation if proper measures are not provided.
!WARNING The NSJ Controller refreshes I/O even when the program is stopped (i.e.,
even in PROGRAM mode). Confirm safety thoroughly in advance before
changing the status of any part of memory allocated to Output Units, Special
I/O Units, or CPU Bus Units. Any changes to the data allocated to any Unit
may result in unexpected operation of the loads connected to the Unit. Any of
the following operations may result in changes to memory status.
• Transferring I/O memory data to the Controller Section from a Programming Device.
• Changing present values in memory from a Programming Device.
• Force-setting/-resetting bits from a Programming Device.
• Transferring I/O memory files from a Memory Card or EM file memory to
the Controller Section.
• Transferring I/O memory from a host computer or from another node on a
network.
!WARNING Always ensure that the personnel in charge confirm that installation, inspection, and maintenance were properly performed for the NSJ Controller. “Personnel in charge” refers to individuals qualified and responsible for ensuring
safety during machine design, installation, operation, maintenance, and disposal.
!WARNING Ensure that installation and post-installation checks are performed by personnel in charge who possess a thorough understanding of the machinery to be
installed.

!Caution Execute online edit only after confirming that no adverse effects will be
caused by extending the cycle time. Otherwise, the input signals may not be
readable.
!Caution Confirm safety at the destination node before transferring a program to
another node or changing contents of the I/O memory area. Doing either of
these without confirming safety may result in injury.
!Caution When setting Units using the IORD or IOWR instructions, check the operation
of the ladder program and data completely before using them in actual operation. Incorrect settings may cause the Unit to stop operating or may result in
unexpected operation of connected devices.
!Caution The NSJ Controller automatically backs up the user program and parameter
data to flash memory when these are written to the Controller Section. I/O
memory (including the DM, EM, and HR Areas), however, is not written to
flash memory. The DM, EM, and HR Areas can be held during power interruptions with a battery. If there is a battery error, the contents of these areas may
not be accurate after a power interruption. If the contents of the DM, EM, and
HR Areas are used to control external outputs, prevent inappropriate outputs
from being made whenever the Battery Error Flag (A40204) is ON. Areas
such as the DM, EM, and HR Areas, the contents of which can be held during
power interrupts, is backed up by a battery. If a battery error occurs, the contents of the areas that are set to be held may not be accurate even though a
memory error will not occur to stop operation. If necessary for the safety of the
system, take appropriate measures in the ladder program whenever the Battery Error Flag (A40204) turns ON, such as resetting the data in these areas.
!Caution When installing the NSJ Controller on the door of a control panel or any other
moving object, be sure that all cables are long enough so that excessive force
is not applied to cables and connectors.
!Caution Tighten the power supply terminal block screws to the torque specified in this
manual. Loose screws may result in fire or malfunction.
!Caution Wire the polarity of the power supply correctly when using a DC power supply.
Reversing the polarity may cause abnormal operation.
!Caution Do not touch a Power Supply Unit while power is being supplied or immediately after turning OFF the power supply. The Unit may be hot and may cause
burns.
!Caution When connecting a Programming Device or other personal computer to a NSJ
Controller to which a non-insulated Power Supply Unit (e.g., CJ1W-PD022) is
mounted, either ground the 0 V side of the external power supply or do not
ground the external power supply at all ground. A short-circuit will occur in the
external power supply if incorrect grounding methods are used. Never ground
the 24 V side, as shown below.

clean, undistorted, and strong enough to adequately withstand mounting
the NSJ Controller.
• Do not allow metal particles to enter the NSJ Controller while work is
being performed on the panel.
• Do not connect an AC power supply to the power terminals on the NSJ
Controller.
• Use a DC power supply with minimal voltage fluctuation that provides a
stable output even if the power supply input is interrupted for 10 ms. The
DC power supply must also have reinforced or double insulation.
Rated power supply voltage: 24 VDC (Allowable range: 20.4 to 27.6 VDC)
Capacity for NSJ12, NSJ10, or NSJ8: 30 W min
Capacity for NSJ5-TQ: 22 W min.
Capacity for NSJ5-SQ: 21 W min.
• Connect power to the power terminal block using twisted-pair power lines
with a cross-sectional area of at least 2 mm2 and always using M3.5
crimp terminals. The correct tightening torque for the terminal block is
0.8 N·m.
• To conform to the Low Voltage Directive in the EC Directives, use a power
supply with reinforced insulation for Expansion Racks.

Application Precautions
• Do not pull on the cables or bend the cables beyond their natural limit.
Doing either of these may break the cables.
• Do not place objects on top of the cables or other wiring lines. Doing so
may break the cables.
• Before touching a Unit, be sure to first touch a grounded metallic object in
order to discharge any static build-up. Not doing so may result in malfunction or damage.
• When transporting or storing circuit boards, cover them in antistatic material to protect LSIs, ICs, and other components from static electricity and
maintain the proper storage temperature.
• Do not touch circuit boards or the components mounted to them with your
bare hands. There are sharp leads and other parts on the boards that
may cause injury if handled improperly.
• Mount Units only after checking terminal blocks and connectors completely.
• Be sure that the terminal blocks, expansion cables, and other items with
locking devices are properly locked into place. Improper locking may
result in malfunction.
• Be sure that all the terminal screws, and cable connector screws are tightened to the torque specified in the relevant manuals. Incorrect tightening
torque may result in malfunction.
• Wire all connections correctly.
• Use crimp terminals for wiring. Do not connect bare stranded wires
directly to terminals. Connection of bare stranded wires may result in
burning. Do not connect more than two crimp terminals to the same terminal.
• Check switch settings, the contents of the DM Area, and other preparations before starting operation. Starting operation without the proper settings or data may result in an unexpected operation.
• Always use the power supply voltages specified in this operation manuals.
An incorrect voltage may result in malfunction or burning.
• Double-check all wiring and switch settings before turning ON the power
supply.
• When assembling and wiring connectors, check all pin numbers carefully
and wire them correctly.
• Properly ground the NSJ Controller to prevent malfunction due to noise.
• Perform all wiring according to the methods given in this and other relative
manuals.
• Always use the special cables listed in this manual or make cables
according to manual specifications. Using commercially available cables
may damage the external devices or the NSJ Controller.
• Confirm the safety of the system before turning ON or OFF the power
supply or before pressing the reset button.
• Always reset the power supply after changing switch settings.
• Leave the label attached to an I/O Unit when wiring it. Removing the label
may result in malfunction if foreign matter enters the Unit.
• Remove the label after the completion of wiring to ensure proper heat dissipation. Leaving the label attached may result in malfunction.
• Do not apply voltages to the Input Units in excess of the rated input voltage. Excess voltages may result in burning.
xxv
5
Application Precautions
• Do not apply voltages or connect loads to the Output Units in excess of
the maximum switching capacity. Excess voltage or loads may result in
burning.
• The user program and parameter area data is backed up in the internal
flash memory. The BKUP indicator will light on the NSJ Controller when
the backup operation is in progress. Do not turn OFF the power supply to
the NSJ Controller when the BKUP indicator is lit. The data will not be
backed up if power is turned OFF.
• Start actual system application only after sufficiently checking screen
data, macros, and the operation of the program in the Controller Section.
• When replacing the NSJ Controller, resume operation only after transferring to the new Display Section and Controller Section all data required for
resuming operation. Not doing so may result in an unexpected operation.
• When using a program for which errors in the Display Section would affect
control operations, monitor for errors in the status area of the Display Section and make sure that operation functions on the safe side if an error
occurs.
• Do not perform the following operations while the uploading or downloading screen data or system programs. The screen data or system program
may be corrupted.
• Turning OFF the power supply to the NSJ Controller
• Pressing the reset switch on the Display Section
• Confirm that no adverse effect will occur in the system before attempting
any of the following. Not doing so may result in unexpected operation.
• Changing the operating mode of the NSJ Controller (including the setting of the startup operating mode).
• Force-setting/force-resetting any bit in memory.
• Changing the present value of any word or any set value in memory.
• Use the CX-Programmer (programming software that runs on Windows) if
you need to program more than one task.
• Turning the power supply ON or OFF may cause the overall system to
stop. Always follow approved procedures when turning the power supply
ON or OFF.
• When creating an AUTOEXEC.IOM file from a Programming Device (CXProgrammer) to automatically transfer data at startup, set the first write
address to D20000 and be sure that the size of data written does not
exceed the size of the DM Area. When the data file is read from the Memory Card at startup, data will be written to the Controller Section starting
at D20000 even if another address was set when the AUTOEXEC.IOM file
was created. Also, if the DM Area is exceeded (which is possible when
the CX-Programmer is used), the remaining data will be written to the EM
Area.
• Always turn ON power to the NSJ Controller before turning ON power to
the control system. If the NSJ Controller power supply is turned ON after
the control power supply, temporary errors may result in control system
signals because the output terminals on DC Output Units and other Units
will momentarily turn ON when power is turned ON to the NSJ Controller.
• Fail-safe measures must be taken by the customer external to the NSJ
Controller to ensure safety in the event that outputs from Output Units
remain ON as a result of internal circuit failures, which can occur in relays,
transistors, and other elements.
xxvi
5
Application Precautions
• If the I/O Hold Bit is turned ON, the outputs from the NSJ Controller will
not be turned OFF and will maintain their previous status when the NSJ
Controller is switched from RUN or MONITOR mode to PROGRAM mode.
Make sure that the external loads will not produce dangerous conditions
when this occurs. (When operation stops for a fatal error, including those
produced with the FALS(007) instruction, all outputs from Output Unit will
be turned OFF and only the internal output status will be maintained.)
• The contents of the DM, EM, and HR Areas in the Controller Section are
backed up by a Battery. If the Battery voltage drops, this data may be lost.
Provide countermeasures in the program using the Battery Error Flag
(A40204) to re-initialize data or take other actions if the Battery voltage
drops.
• Do not perform the following operations while a Memory Card is being
accessed. In the worst case, the Memory Card may be rendered unusable.
• Turning OFF the power supply to the NSJ Controller
• Pressing the reset switch on the Display Section
• Always following the specified procedure when removing the Memory
Card. In the worst case, the Memory Card may be rendered unusable if it
is removed while being accessed.
• Unexpected operation may result if inappropriate data link tables or
parameters are set. Even if appropriate data link tables and parameters
have been set, confirm that the controlled system will not be adversely
affected before starting or stopping data links.
• CPU Bus Units will be restarted when routing tables are transferred from
a Programming Device to the NSJ Controller. Restarting these Units is
required to read and enable the new routing tables. Confirm that the system will not be adversely affected before allowing the CPU Bus Units to
be reset.
• Do not connect an USB connector to any device that is not applicable.
• Before connecting an USB connector to a device, make sure that the
device is free of damage.
• Commercially available and recommended USB Hubs do not have the
same specifications as the NSJ Controller. Normal operation may not be
possible in environments subject to noise or static electricity. When using
USB Hubs, be sure to provide sufficient measures to prevent noise and
static electricity, or install in a location that is not subject to noise or static
electricity.
• Do not press the touch switch with a force greater than 30 N.
• Confirm the safety of the system before pressing touch switches.
• Do not accidentally press touch switches when the backlight is not lit or
when the display does not appear.
• Signals from the touch switches may not be input if the switches are
pressed consecutively at high speed. Confirm each input before proceeding to the next one.
• Before initializing screen data, confirm that existing data is backed up at
the NS-Designer.
• When changing the password with the system menu, do not reset or turn
OFF the power supply until writing is finished (i.e., until the Write Button
returns to its original condition). It may become impossible to manipulate
screens if the password is not set correctly.

Application Precautions
• The backlight used in the NSJ Controller contain mercury. Dispose of the
NSJ Controller and any Batteries that are no longer required according to
all local laws and ordinances.
• When mounting a Battery, be sure that the correct model is being used.
• The life of the Battery will be shortened if the NSJ Controller is left for a
period of time without power supplied and then a Battery is mounted without supplying power.
• To ensure that memory is not corrupted, always turn ON the power supply
to the NSJ Controller for at least 5 minutes before replacing the Battery
and then complete replacing the Battery within 5 minutes after turning
OFF the power supply.
• The following precautions apply to Power Supply Units with Replacement
Notification.
• When the LED display on the front of the Power Supply Unit starts to
alternately display “0.0” and “A02” or the alarm output automatically
turns OFF, replace the Power Supply Unit within 6 months.
• Separate the alarm output cables from power lines and high-voltage
lines.
• Do not apply a voltage or connect a load to the alarm output that exceeds the rated voltage or load.
• Maintain an ambient storage temperature of −20 to 30°C and humidity
of 25% to 70% when storing the product for longer than 3 months to
keep the replacement notification function in optimum working condition.
• Always use the standard installation method. A nonstandard installation will decrease heat dissipation, delay the replacement notification
signal, and may degrade or damage the internal elements.
• Design the system so that the power supply capacity of the Power Supply
Unit is not exceeded.
• Do not touch the terminals on the Power Supply Unit immediately after
turning OFF the power supply. Electric shock may occur due to the residual voltage.
• Periodically check the installation conditions in applications where the
NSJ Controller is subject to contact with oil or water.
• Waterproof and oil-proof performance may be lost if the front sheet is
peeling or cracked. Do not use the NSJ Controller if the front sheet is
peeling or cracked.

OMRON devices conform to the related EMC standards so that they can be
more easily built into other devices or the overall machine. The actual products have been checked for conformity to EMC standards (see the following
note). Whether the products conform to the standards in the system used by
the customer, however, must be checked by the customer.
EMC-related performance of the OMRON devices that comply with EC Directives will vary depending on the configuration, wiring, and other conditions of
the equipment or control panel on which the OMRON devices are installed.
The customer must, therefore, perform the final check to confirm that devices
and the overall machine conform to EMC standards.
Note Applicable EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards are as follows:
EN 61131-2

Conformance to EC Directives
The NSJ Controllers comply with EC Directives. To ensure that the machine
or device in which the NSJ Controller is used complies with EC Directives, the
NSJ Controller must be installed as follows:
1,2,3...
1. The NSJ Controller must be installed within a control panel.
2. You must use reinforced insulation or double insulation for the DC power
supplies used for the NSJ Controller, Expansion Racks, and I/O power
supplies. The DC power supply for the NSJ Controller and Expansion
Racks must have an output hold time of 10 ms min.
3. NSJ Controllers also conform to EMI Standard (EN61131-2). Radiated
emission characteristics (10-m regulations) may vary depending on the
configuration of the control panel used, other devices connected to the
control panel, wiring, and other conditions. You must therefore confirm that
the overall machine or equipment complies with EC Directives.
4. This is a class A product. In residential areas it may cause radio interference, in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures
to reduce interference.

Relay Output Noise Reduction Methods
The NSJ Controllers conforms to the Common Emission Standards
(EN61000-6-4) of the EMC Directives. However, noise generated by relay output switching may not satisfy these Standards. In such a case, a noise filter
must be connected to the load side or other appropriate countermeasures
must be provided external to the NSJ Controller.
Countermeasures taken to satisfy the standards vary depending on the
devices on the load side, wiring, configuration of machines, etc. Following are
examples of countermeasures for reducing the generated noise.
Countermeasures
(Refer to EN61000-6-4 for more details.)
Countermeasures are not required if the frequency of load switching for the
whole system with the NSJ Controller included is less than 5 times per
minute.
Countermeasures are required if the frequency of load switching for the whole
system with the NSJ Controller included is more than 5 times per minute.

the capacitance suppresses spark discharge when the contacts are separated and the resistance limits the
current that flows into the load when
the circuit is closed again.

Overview
The NSJ Series
NSJ-series NSJ Controllers are Programmable Controllers (PLCs) with user
interface display panels called Programmable Terminals (PTs) attached to
them. They combine the high-speed, high-capacity, multifunctional capabilities of a PLC with the interfacing capabilities of a PT.
The PLC portion of an NSJ Controller is called the Controller Section and
uses the same architecture as a CJ-series CJ1G-CPU45H CPU Unit with unit
version 3.0. DeviceNet master functionality is also built-in as a standard feature. Refer to the CJ Series Operation Manual (Cat. No. W393) for a description of the features. Refer to 1-2 Differences between the NSJ Controller and
Previous Products for a list of the differences between the Controller Section
of a NSJ Controller and a CJ1G-CPU45H CPU Unit with unit version 3.0.
The PT portion of an NSJ Controller is called the Display Section and uses
the same architecture as an NS-V2-series PT. Refer to 1-2 Differences
between the NSJ Controller and Previous Products for a list of the differences
between the Display Section of a NSJ Controller and an NS-V2-series PT.

Features
Complete Setup,
Programming, and
Monitoring Support with
the CX-One
The CX-One Unified Development Environment provides all required functions, including those to program, debug, and operate the Controller Section,
create and transfer screens to the Display Section, and set up DeviceNet
communications. (Use CX-One version 2.0 or higher for the NSJ@-@@@@(B)M3D and CX-One version 1.1 or higher for all other NSJ Controllers.)
Access All Functionality
through a Single Port
The CX-One (including CX-Programmer, CX-Integrator, and CX-Designer)
connects to either the USB port or one of the RS-232C ports (i.e., ports A and
B on the Display Section). All operations, such as programming the Controller
Section and transferring screens to the Display Section, can be achieved
through a single port. (Use CX-One version 2.0 or higher for the NSJ@@@@@(B)-M3D and CX-One version 1.1 or higher for all other NSJ Controllers.)
High-speed Controller
Section
Instruction execution times (basic instructions from 0.04 µs and special
instructions from 0.06 µs) and other high-speed processing capabilities are
equivalent to those of a CJ1G-CPU45H CPU Unit with unit version 3.0.
32,768-color (Maximum)
Displays
The high-quality display capabilities of the Display Section are equivalent to
those of an NS-V2 PT.
Reduced Labor
Requirements
When using a separate PLC and PT, the PLC and PT must be connected with
a cable and communications settings must be made in each. With the NSJ
Controllers, all of these connection and setting procedures are not required,
saving valuable installation and setup time.
Reduced Space
Requirements
NSJ Controllers can use DeviceNet for I/O to achieve a depth of only 73.3 mm
for the NSJ8/NSJ10/NSJ12 and only 79 mm for the NSJ5 (without an Expansion Unit). No additional space is required for the PLC to reduce space
requirements for installation.
I/O Control via DeviceNet
The NSJ Controllers include master functionality for the DeviceNet open field
network. I/O can thus be controlled using a DeviceNet network within the
restrictions of the network communications cycle.
Mount an Expansion Unit
One Expansion Unit can be connected to add CJ-series Expansion Racks, a
Controller Link port, or an Ethernet port.

Section 1-1
Overview
• Connect CJ-series Expansion Racks to use any required CJ-series Units.
An NSJ I/O Control Unit can be mounted to the back of the NSJ Controller
to connect up to three CJ-series Expansion Racks with a total of up to 30
CJ-series Units (10 Units per Rack). Any of the CJ-series Basic I/O Units,
Special I/O Units, and CPU Bus Units can be mounted to the CJ-series
Expansion Racks.
• If an NSJ I/O Control Unit is not mounted, either an NSJ Controller Link
Unit can be mounted to add a Controller Link port or an NSJ Ethernet Unit
can be mounted to add an Ethernet port. This enables either connecting
to a host via Ethernet or connecting to the pier-to-pier Controller Link network. Seamless communications are possible to integrate information
with the host or with other production lines.
Ladder Monitoring
Function (Display Section
System Version 6.6 or
Later, Except for NSJ5)
Using the ladder monitoring function makes it possible to monitor the execution status of programs in the Controller Section or in other PLCs without having to use a Programming Device, such as a CX-Programmer or Programming
Console.
Special NSJ
Troubleshooting Features
Special screens are provided on the Display Section that enable monitoring
the Controller Section or DeviceNet master functionality of the NSJ Controller.
Error information and countermeasures can be displayed. The alarm monitoring function of the Display Section can also be used to automatically switch to
the special screens when an alarm occurs.
Easy Backup of Controller

Version 6.6
The only function available was simulated
testing of Display Section screen operations on a personal computer.
Using a personal computer, a virtual Display Section can be connected to a virtual
Controller Section (CX-Simulator) to simulate NSJ Controller operation. This makes it
possible to reduce the total time involved in
debugging.
Symbol names and comments can be input
for symbol tables with no addresses. This
allows screens to be created using symbol
names without inputting addresses. Entering symbols in screen designs without
addresses makes it possible to reduce the
total time involved in design.
A password can now be set for creating
data. When data with a set password is
transferred to the Display Section, the
password is then required in order to
upload the data. This prevents users who
do not know the password from obtaining
that data from the Display Section. In addition, a password can be required to transfer
data to the Display Section. This prevents
data from being accidentally overwritten.
With the new version, once a user inputs
the password to use a functional object for
which a password has been set, a password does not have to be input again as
long as the user continues using only functional objects for which the same or lower
level passwords have been set. (Functional
objects with a higher-level passwords cannot be manipulated. A warning message
will be displayed if an attempt is made.)
This makes it possible to create applications that permit only the necessary operations by users who have entered a
password, and thus helps prevent faulty
operations.
Data in memory is treated as X and Y coordinates, and straight lines are drawn
between the applicable coordinates to create consecutive line drawing. This makes it
possible to handle applications involving
the drawing of various graphics in twodimensional space that could not be drawn
using the existing graph components.
Symbol programming without
addresses
Symbol names, addresses, and comments
were entered in symbol tables. Then the
required symbols were selected from the
symbol tables when creating screens.
Data security
The following two types of data transfers
are possible between CX-Designer (running on a personal computer) and the Display Section:
• Data transfers with the Display Section.
• With data transfers using a Memory Card,
data can be uploaded and downloaded by
any user.
User security
Any of five levels of passwords could be set
for each functional object. A dialog box asking for the password was displayed each
time an attempt was made to use a functional object for which a password had
been set, and the object could not be used
unless the password was input.

A Programming Device connected to the USB port, a Toolbus port (serial port
A or B), or the built-in Ethernet port of the NSJ Controller can access and perform operations for a CS/CJ-series PLC on the same network.
A Programming Device connected to the peripheral port or Host Link port of
the NSJ Controller can perform operations, set up DeviceNet, and set up Controller Link data links for the Controller Sections of the NSJ Controllers, but it
cannot transfer screen data to the Display Sections of the NSJ Controllers.
To transfer screen data to the Display Section of an NSJ Controller, connect
the Programming Device to the USB port, a Toolbus port (serial port A or B),
or the built-in Ethernet port of the NSJ Controller.
Routing tables must also be set in all of the NSJ Controllers. Refer to Routing
Table Setting Example on page 16 for a setting example.
Note
When a CS/CJ-series PLC is operated via the network from Support Software
connected to the built-in Ethernet port of an NSJ Controller, the Frame Length
under the Network Settings in the Change PLC Type Dialog Box must be
changed from the default setting of 2000 to 1004 or less. Communications
cannot be executed normally if the frame length is set to 1005 or greater
because the maximum frame length of the inner bus in the NSJ Controller is
1004.

Section 1-1
Overview
Routing Table Setting
Example
Routing tables must also be set in all of the NSJ Controllers when using communications applications across a network or when setting an NSJ Controller
across a network. Routing tables are not required when using stand-along
NSJ Controllers or when not making NSJ Controller settings across a network.
The routing tables for the following configuration are described in this section
as an example. Routing tables are set using the CX-Integrator. Connect the
Programming Device to each NSJ Controller and transfer the routing table
created for each one.

■
Setting the Network Address for the Built-in Ethernet Port
To set the network address for the built-in Ethernet port on the NSJ Controller,
start the routing table setting tool from the CX Integrator and enter the network address for the built-in Ethernet port for port 1 of Unit 225 (Inner Board).
Click the Table View Tab, and the network address will be set for unit number
228. When setting the routing tables directly on the Table View Tab Page, set
the unit number to 228.
■
Using the NSJ Controller without Routing Tables
The NSJ Controller can be used without setting routing tables in the following
cases.
18
Section 1-1
Overview
Stand-alone NSJ Controllers
• Routing tables do not need to be set when the Programming Device is
connected to the USB port or Toolbus port (serial port A or B) on an NSJ
Controller.
• If the Programming Device is connected to the built-in Ethernet port on
the NSJ Controller, set the network address of the built-in Ethernet port
from the System Menu of the Display Section. Routing tables do not need
to be set.
Networked NSJ Controllers Not Using Communications Applications and
and for Which Settings Are Not Performed via the Network
To set up the NSJ Controllers, connect the Programming Device to the USB
port or Toolbus port (serial port A or B) on each NSJ Controller.
NSJ Controllers Networked with NSJ Ethernet Units or NSJ Controller
Link Units with a Programming Device Connected to the USB Port or
Toolbus Port (Serial Port A or B) on an NSJ Controller
Routing tables must be set in NSJ Controllers if more than one Communications Unit (including the built-in DeviceNet master of the NSJ Controller or
Communications Units on Expansion Racks connected via an NSJ I/O Control
Unit) is used. Routing tables do not need to be set, however, if the unit number of the built-in DeviceNet master is set to a smaller number than the unit
number of the NSJ Ethernet Unit or NSJ Controller Link Unit. Controller Link
data links can be set by setting the network address to 0 from the Programming Device.

Application Precautions
• For the Programming Device, use CX-One version 2.0 or higher for the
NSJ@-@@@@(B)-M3D and use CX-One version 1.1 or higher for the NSJ
Controller. CX-One version 1.0 or lower does not support NSJ Controllers.
• NS-Designer version 6.2 or lower cannot be used to create screen data or
to transfer screen data to the Display Section of the NSJ Controller. Use
the CX-Designer bundled in CX-One version 1.1 or higher.
• The NSJ Controller does not have a peripheral port. Connect the Programming Device to the USB port or one of the serial ports (port A or B).
• More than one Support Software package (e.g., the CX-Programmer and
CX-Designer) can be connected to the NSJ Controller at the same time.
Online operations will be interrupted while screen data is being transferred using the CX-Designer, but will be enabled again once the transfer
has been completed.
• The Display Section will be reset after screen data has been transferred.
If other applications are connected online with the NSJ Controller, communications errors will occur until the Display Section has started up
again. With the USB port, the online connection will be automatically
restored. With a Toolbus connection (serial port A or B), the connection
will not be automatically restored and the connection must be made again
manually.
23
Application Precautions
Section 1-4
• Serial port C (on the Controller Section) has the same functionality as the
RS-232C port on a CJ1-H CPU Unit with unit version 3.0 except that a
Programming Device cannot be connected to serial port C. Connect the
Programming Device to the USB port or one of the serial ports (port A or
B).
• There is no peripheral port and a Programming Console thus cannot be
connected. Use the device monitoring function on the System Menu of the
Display Section for simple present value monitoring, present value setting, and similar operations.
• Set the same network address for the built-in Ethernet on the System
Menu of the Display Section and in the routing tables of the Controller
Section.
• When routing tables are transferred to the NSJ Controller from a Programming Device, the built-in DeviceNet Section, Expansion Unit, and
Display Section of the NSJ Controller will be reset to enable using the new
routing tables. Always confirm that resetting these parts of the NSJ Controller will not adversely affect the system before transferring the routing
tables.
• A communications error will occur when a Programming Device is connected to the NSJ Controller and the Display Section is reset as a result
of transferring the routing tables. After the Display Section is restarted, it
may be necessary to connect/disconnect the Programming Device's
online connection.
• An NS-AL002 RS-232C/RS-422A Conversion Unit cannot be connected
to serial port C. If the NS-AL002 is connected to serial port A on the
NSJ5-@@@@-@@@, it will not be physically possible to connect serial port
C. If the NS-AL002 is connected to serial port A or B on the NSJ8/10/12@@@@-@@@, serial port C cannot be used.
• Memory Cards are formatted before they are shipped. The user does not
have to format them before use. To reformat a Memory Card after use,
always use the CX-Programmer and format it in the Memory Card slot of
the Controller Section (MC (CONTROLLER) slot). The NSJ Controller
may not recognize a Memory Card that was formatted on a personal computer. A Memory Card formatted on a personal computer may not be
usable with the NSJ Controller even after reformatting the Memory Card
in the NSJ Controller.
• Applications started with the external application startup function of the
Display Section of the NSJ Controller cannot use the Programming Console function for the Controller Section. These can be used only for PLCs
connected to serial port A or B of the NSJ Controller.
• Always use RecoverUpdata_6_5 NSJ_HSH or a higher version (“6_5” is
shown as version V6.5) when using the recovery/update function for the
Display Section of the NSJ Controller. Data older than version 6.5 cannot
be used with the Display Section of the NSJ Controller.
• A DeviceNet multidrop connector cannot be connected to serial port B on
the NSJ5-@@@@-@@@. Do not use it. DeviceNet multidrop connectors
cannot be used with the NSJ8/10/12-@@@@-@@@.

Note
1. The inrush current is given for a cold start at room temperature for AC Power Supply Units and for a cold start for DC Power Supply Units. The inrush
control circuit uses a thermistor element with a low-temperature current
control characteristic. If the ambient temperature is high or the NSJ Controller is hot-started, the thermistor will not be sufficiently cool, and the inrush currents given in the table may be exceeded by up to twice the given
values. When selecting fuses or breakers for external circuits, allow sufficient margin in shut-off performance.
A delay circuit that charges a capacitor is used to limit the inrush current in
DC Power Supply Units. If a hot start is performed when the power supply
has been OFF only a short period of time, the capacitor will still be charged
and the inrush current specified above will be exceeded by up to approximately twice the specified value.
2. Disconnect the Power Supply Unit’s LG terminal from the GR terminal
when testing insulation and dielectric strength. Testing the insulation and
dielectric strength with the LG terminal and the GR terminals connected
will damage internal circuits in the NSJ Controller.
3. Change the applied voltage gradually using the adjuster on the Tester. If
the full dielectric strength voltage is applied or turned OFF using the switch
on the Tester, the generated impulse voltage may damage the Power Supply Unit.
4. Maintain an ambient storage temperature of −25 to 30°C and an ambient
humidity of 25% to 70% when storing the Unit for longer than 3 months to
keep the replacement notification function in optimum working condition.
5. CJ1W-PD022 is not insulated between the primary DC power and secondary DC power.

(1) Contact your nearest OMRON representative to replace the backlight.
(2) This is the estimated time before brightness is reduced by half at room
temperature and humidity. It is not a guaranteed value. The life expectancy will be drastically shortened if the NSJ Controller is used at low temperatures. For example, use at temperatures of 0°C will reduce the life
expectancy to approximately 10,000 hours (reference value).
(3) The brightness cannot be adjusted much.
(4) This function does not detect service life expectancy. It detects when the
backlight is not lit due to a disconnection or other errors. Backlight error
detection indicates that all backlights (2) are OFF.
(5) There are sometimes faulty pixels in the touch panel of the Display Section, but this does not indicate an error as long as the number of bright or

Units (Basic I/O Units, Special I/O Units, or CPU Bus Units) can be mounted
to each Expansion Rack. The maximum number of I/O Units that can be connected in one NSJ Controller is thus 10 for the NSJ@-@@@@-M3D and 30 for
any other NSJ Controller. Each Expansion Rack must have a Power Supply
Unit and I/O Interface Unit (CJ1W-II101).

NSJ Controller Link Unit
An NSJ Controller Link Unit (NSJW-CLK21-V1) can be mounted to enable
using data links between NSJ Controllers and between NSJ Controllers and
PLCs, so that data can be shared without programming, and FINS message
communications between NSJ Controllers and between NSJ Controllers and
PLCs, which enable separate control and data transfer when required. Data
links and message communications are also possible between NSJ Controllers and personal computers. Data links enable large-capacity and user-set
allocations. FINS message communications also allow large-capacity data
transfer.

An NSJ Ethernet Unit (NSJW-ETN21) can be mounted to enable using FINS
message communications between NSJ Controllers, between NSJ Controllers and PLCs, and between NSJ Controllers and host computers. By executing FTP commands for the NSJ Controller from a host computer connected to
the Ethernet, the contents of the files on the Memory Card installed in the
Controller Section can be read or written (transferred). Data can be sent and
received using UDP and TCP protocols by sending/receiving data using
SEND and RECV instructions or by using a socket service with CMND
instructions. These functions enable a greater compatibility with information

Nomenclature and Functions
DeviceNet DIP Switch
The DeviceNet DIP switch is used to set the baud rate, whether remote I/O
communications will be continued or stopped when a communications error
occurs, and whether to hold or clear the remote outputs when a communications error occurs in the slave function.
Hold/clear I/O for communications error (when used as a slave)

2. Set the same baud rate on all of the nodes (master and slaves) in the Network. Any slaves with baud rates different from the master’s rate won’t be
able to participate in communications and may cause a communications
error between nodes that have been set properly.
Continue/Stop Remote I/O Communications
When the DeviceNet Section is used as a master, pin 3 is used to set whether
or not communications will stop after a communications error.
If pin 3 is ON, remote I/O communications will be stopped if one of the following errors occurs.
Remote I/O Communications Error Flag (n+12, bit 02 is ON, See note.)
Send Timeout Flag (n+10, bit 08 is ON)
Network Power Error Flag (n+10, bit 07 is ON)
Remote I/O communications will remain stopped even if the error is cleared.
(Message communications and slave functions will continue.) To resume communications, turn ON the Remote I/O Communications Start Bit (word n, bit
02) of Software Switches 1. Refer to 3-2 Allocated CIO Area Words in the CS/
CJ-series DeviceNet Unit Operation Manual for details.
Note The 7-segment display will show “A0” when remote I/O communications stop.
If pin 3 is OFF, remote I/O communications will stop if a send timeout or network power error occurs, but will restart automatically when the cause of the
error is cleared.

(5) Pressing Three Switches Simultaneously
If the positions of multiple touch switches are set as shown in the example
and three switches are pressed simultaneously, the touch switches will
malfunction due to structural characteristics.
Position the touch switches carefully. In the example shown below,
switches have been created in positions A and B, and at points C and D,
where the vertical and horizontal lines through A and B intersect.
• If touch switches A, B, and C are turned ON
simultaneously, switch D may also turn ON
due to structural characteristics of the touch
panel.
• In the same way, if touch switches A, B, and
D are turned ON simultaneously, switch C

Installation
5-1
Installation
This section describes installing the NSJ Controller in a control panel, wiring
the power supply, wiring the built-in DeviceNet Section, and mounting/wiring
Expansion Units.
5-1-1
Fail-safe Circuits
Be sure to set up safety circuits outside of the Controller Section to prevent
dangerous conditions in the event of errors in the NSJ Controller or external
power supply. Pay particular attention to the following items.
Supply Power to the
NSJ Controller before
the Control System
If the NSJ Controller’s power supply is turned ON after the controlled system’s
power supply, outputs in Units such as DC Output Units may malfunction
momentarily. To prevent any malfunction, add an external circuit that prevents
the power supply to the controlled system from going ON before the power
supply to the NSJ Controller itself.
Managing NSJ
Controller Errors
When any of the following errors occurs, NSJ Controller operation will stop
and all outputs from Output Units will be turned OFF.
• Operation of the Power Supply Unit’s overcurrent protection circuit
• A CPU error (watchdog timer error) or CPU on standby
• A fatal error* (memory error, I/O bus error, duplicate number error, too
many I/O points error, program error, cycle time too long error, or
FALS(007) error)
Be sure to add any circuits necessary outside of the NSJ Controller to ensure
the safety of the system in the event of an error that stops NSJ Controller
operation.
Note *When a fatal error occurs, all outputs from Output Units will be turned OFF
even if the IOM Hold Bit has been turned ON to protect the contents of I/O
memory. (When the IOM Hold Bit is ON, the outputs will retain their previous
status after the Controller Section has been switched from RUN/MONITOR
mode to PROGRAM mode.)
Managing Output Unit
Malfunctions
92
It is possible for an output to remain ON due to a malfunction in the internal
circuitry of the Output Unit, such as a relay or transistor malfunction. Be sure
to add any circuits necessary outside of the NSJ Controller to ensure the
safety of the system in the event that an output fails to go OFF.
Section 5-1
Installation
5-1-2
Installation and Wiring Precautions
Be sure to consider the following factors when installing and wiring the NSJ
Controller to improve the reliability of the system and make the most of the
NSJ Controller’s functions.
Ambient Conditions
Do not install the NSJ Controller in any of the following locations.
• Locations subject to drastic temperature changes or condensation.
• Locations subject to temperatures or humidity outside the range specified
in the specifications.
• Locations subject to high humidity and the possibility of condensation.
• Locations subject to exposure to chemicals.
• Locations subject to exposure to oil.
• Locations subject to corrosive or flammable gases.
• Locations subject to shock or vibration.
• Locations outdoors subject to direct rain or wind.
• Locations subject to strong ultraviolet light.
• Locations subject to excessive dust and dirt.
• Locations subject to direct sunlight.
Be sure to enclose or protect the NSJ Controller sufficiently in the following
locations.
• Locations subject to static electricity or other forms of noise.
• Locations subject to strong electromagnetic fields.
• Locations close to power lines.
• Locations subject to possible exposure to radioactivity.
5-1-3
Mounting the NSJ Controller to the Control Panel
The NSJ Controller is normally flush-mounted to a control panel. Use a type I
enclosure.
The NSJ Controller is mounted using the panel mounting brackets provided
with the NSJ Controller, and tools, such as a Phillips screwdriver.
Use the following procedure to mount the NSJ Controller to the control panel.

Note
(1) Do not allow metal particles to enter the NSJ Controller while work is being performed on the panel.
(2) The allowable thickness of the panel for mounting is between 1.6 and
4.8 mm.
(3) Secure the mounting bracket with a uniform tightening torque of between
0.5 and 0.6 N⋅m to keep the NSJ Controller waterproof and dustproof.
The front sheet may become distorted if the tightening torque is more
than the specified limit or not uniform. Always use a panel that is clean,
undistorted, and strong enough to adequately withstand mounting the
NSJ Controller.

Wiring
Connecting the Power Supply
Connect a 24-VDC power supply to the power input terminals.
Note
(1) Do not connect an AC power supply to the power terminals.
(2) Use a DC power supply with low voltage fluctuation.
(3) Do not perform a dielectric strength test.
(4) Use a DC power supply that will provide a stable output even if the input
is momentarily interrupted for 10 ms, and which has reinforced or double
insulation.

Data is exchanged regularly to slaves in the network (independent of the program) through the built-in DeviceNet Section.
Bits in the DeviceNet Area can be force-set and force-reset.
Note There are two ways to allocated I/O in DeviceNet networks: Fixed allocations
according to node addresses and user-set allocations.
• With fixed allocations, words are automatically allocated to the slaves in
the specified fixed allocation area (1, 2, or 3) according to the node
addresses.
• With user-set allocations, the user can allocate words to slaves from the
following words.

Power OFF Operation
The following processing will be performed if power to the NSJ Controller or
CJ-series Expansion Racks is interrupted. The following processing will be
performed if the power supply voltage drops to the power OFF detection voltage for a period of time while the Controller Section is operating in RUN or
MONITOR mode.
1,2,3...
1. The Controller Section and CJ-series Expansion Racks will stop.
2. All outputs from Output Units will be turned OFF.
Note All outputs will turn OFF despite an I/O Memory Hold Bit or I/O Memory Hold
Bit at power ON settings in the PLC Setup.
If the power supply voltage drops only momentarily, operation may stop or it
may continue depending on the length of the momentary power interruption.
The times required to detect a power interruption and stop operation are given

Section 7-1
Power OFF Operation
Power Holding Time
The maximum amount of time (fixed at 2 ms) that 5 V will be held internally
after power shuts OFF. The time that it takes for the power OFF interrupt task
to execute must not exceed 2 ms. The power OFF interrupt task will be ended
even if it has not been completely executed the moment this time expires.
Description of Operation
Power OFF will be detected if the power supply voltage falls below the power
OFF detection voltage for the power OFF detection time (2 ms for the NSJ
Controller, somewhere between 10 to 25 ms for AC Power Supply Units,
somewhere between 2 to 5 ms for the CJ1W-PD025 DC Power Supply Unit,
and somewhere between 2 to 10 ms for the CJ1W-PD022 DC Power Supply
Unit), and then the following processing will be performed.
1,2,3...
1. If the power OFF interrupt task is disabled (default PLC Setup setting)
The CPU reset signal will turn ON and the Controller Section will be reset
immediately.
2. If the power OFF interrupt task is enabled in the PLC Setup, the CPU reset
signal will turn ON and the Controller Section will be reset after the power
OFF interrupt task has been executed (see note). Make sure that the power OFF interrupt task will finish executing within 2 ms. The 5-V internal
power supply will be maintained only for 2 ms after power OFF is detected.
Note
7-1-2
The holding time for the internal 5-V power supply of CJ1W-PD022 Power
Supply Units when a power interruption occurs is 1 ms. This means that the
Power OFF Interrupt Task cannot be used.
Instruction Execution for Power Interruptions
If power is interrupted and the interruption is confirmed when the NSJ Controller is operating in RUN or MONITOR mode, the instruction currently being
executed will be completed (see note 1) and the following power interruption
processing will be performed.
• If the power OFF interrupt task is disabled, the Controller Section will be
reset immediately.
• If the power OFF interrupt task is enabled, the task will be executed and
then the Controller Section will be reset immediately.
The power OFF interrupt task is enabled and disabled in the PLC Setup.
Note
1. The current instruction can be completed only when the time required to
complete execution is less than or equal to the processing time after power
interruption detection (2 ms). If the instruction is not completed within this
time, it will be interrupted and the above processing will be performed.
2. The processing time after a power interruption is detected is 1 ms when a
CJ1W-PD022 is mounted. The above processing will thus be started 1 ms
after the power interruption occurs.
Disabling Power Interruption Processing in the Program
If the power OFF interrupt task is disabled, areas of the program can be protected from power interruptions so that the instructions will be executed before
the power OFF processing is performed even if the power supply is interrupted. This is achieved by using the DISABLE INTERRUPTS (DI(693)) and
ENABLE INTERRUPTS (EI(694)) instructions.
The following procedure is used.
122
Section 7-1
Power OFF Operation
1,2,3...
1. Insert DI(693) before the program section to be protected to disable interrupts and then place EI(694) after the section to enable interrupts.
2. Set the Disable Setting for Power OFF Interrupts in A530 to A5A5 Hex to
enable disabling power interruption processing.
Note A530 is normally cleared when power is turned OFF. To prevent this,
the IOM Hold Bit (A50012) must be turned ON and the PLC Setup
must be set to maintain the setting of the IOM Hold Bit at Startup, or
the following type of instruction must be included at the beginning of
the program to set A530 to A5A5 Hex.
A20011
MOV
#A5A5
A530
First Cycle Flag
Set A530 to A5A5 Hex at the
beginning of the program to enable
disabling power interruption
processing.
3. Disable the Power OFF Interrupt Task in the PLC Setup.
With the above procedure, all instructions between DI(693) and EI(694) (or
END) will be completed (see note 1) before the Power OFF Interrupt is executed even if the power interruption occurs while executing the instructions
between DI(693) and EI(694).
Note
1. The protected instructions can be completed only when the time required
to complete execution is less than or equal to the processing time after
power interruption detection (2 ms). If the instructions are not completed
within this time, they will be interrupted and the Controller Section will be
reset.
2. The processing time after a power interruption is detected is 1 ms when a
CJ1W-PD022 is mounted. The Controller Section will thus be reset 1 ms
after the power interruption occurs.
3. If the Power OFF Interrupt Task is not disabled in the PLC Setup, the Power
OFF Interrupt Task will be executed, and the Controller Section will be reset without executing the protected instructions as soon as the power interruption is detected.
4. If a power interrupt is detected while DI(693) is being executed, the Controller Section will be reset without executing the protected instructions.

Cycle Time
The Controller Section of an NSJ Controller performs overhead processing,
instruction execution, cycle time calculations, I/O refreshing, and peripheral
processing in the same way as a CS/CJ-series CPU Unit. Refer to 10-4 Computing the Cycle Time in the CJ Series PLC Operation Manual (W393) for
information on calculating the cycle time.
For the NSJ Controller, however, the following times must be considered for
communications between the Controller Section and Display Section on the
Inner Bus and for the built-in DeviceNet master (CPU Bus Unit).

Starting NSJ Troubleshooter Screens with Alarms/Events
Alarm/Event Function
The Alarm/Event Function monitors the status of a bit in the host and displays
a message or warning to the user when that bit goes ON. This function can be
used to record events such as errors or the start of operation.
The main feature of the Alarm/Event Summary Function (current alarm display) is its ability to receive alarm/event notifications and track related information, such as the message set for the alarm/event, the time that the alarm/
event occurred, and the time that the alarm/event was cleared.
The Alarm/Event History Function (alarm history display) lists past or present
alarms/events as well as the message set for the alarm/event, the time that
the alarm/event occurred, and the time that the alarm/event was cleared.
In addition to checking the Alarm/Event History from the NSJ Controller’s System Menu, both the Alarm/Event History and Summary can be checked during operation from an object set in the screen. Also, the Alarm/Event History
recorded in the NSJ Controller can be converted to a CSV file and saved in
the Memory Card by turning ON System Memory bit $SB33.
Alarm/Event Summary

Inspections and Cleaning
11-2-2 Cleaning
Clean and inspect the Display Section periodically to maintain it in optimum
condition for use. The screen visibility will be impaired if the display becomes
dirty. Clean the display periodically using the following methods:
• For daily cleaning, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Attempting to remove heavy
dirt with the dry cloth may scratch the front panel sheet. Use a damp cloth
first to remove dirt and then wipe the surface again with the dry cloth.
• If dirt cannot be removed using a dry cloth, dampen the cloth sufficiently
with a neutral cleaning agent solution (approximately 2%), squeeze the
cloth out, and then wipe the surface.
• Materials such as rubber, vinyl, or tape that are attached to the Unit will
leave stains if left for a long time. If such material is attached to the Unit,
remove when cleaning.
Note
Never use benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents, or chemical cloths to
clean the NSJ Controller.
11-2-3 Precautions when Replace the NSJ Controller or Units
Always observe the following precautions when faults are detected during
inspection and the NSJ Controller or Units are to be replaced.
• Always turn OFF the power to the NSJ Controller or Expansion Rack
before replacing the NSJ Controller or CJ-series Units.
• After replacing the NSJ Controller or a CJ-series Unit, check to confirm
that the new NSJ Controller or CJ-series Unit has no faults.
• When returning a faulty NSJ Controller or CJ-series Unit for repair,
include a document that provides as many details on the fault as possible,
and send to your OMRON representative.
• If there is a poor contact, use industrial-grade alcohol soaked into a cotton
cloth and then remove any threads before mounting the NSJ Controller or
CJ-series Unit.
Note
(1) When replacing the NSJ Controller, start operation with the new NSJ
Controller only have loading or setting the user program, data memory,
Holding Area data, and all other data required for operation. Unexpected
operation may occur if the data memory, Holding Area data, or other data,
and the program are not correct in relation to each other.
(2) Routing tables, Controller Link Unit data link tables, network parameters,
and other settings for CPU Bus Units are stored in the Parameter Area of
the NSJ Controller. Be sure to transfer to set this data when replacing the
NSJ Controller.
(3) When replacing a CPU Bus Unit or Special I/O Unit, refer to the operation
manual for the Unit and make all required settings.
(4) Always keep a backup of the project data for the Display Section. This is
particularly important when requesting repairs from OMRON, during
which the project data may be deleted.
(5) If the simple backup operation is used, backup files of all programs and
parameters for the NSJ Controller, DeviceNet Units, Serial Communications Units, and other Unit will be stored on the Memory Card. This backup data can be restored after replacing a Unit to simplify resetting Units
after replacement. For information on the Units that are backed up by the
simple backup operation, refer to Applicable Units and Boards under 5-2-

11-3 Maintenance and Replacement Methods
The NSJ Controller has the following replaceable parts:
Backlight
Battery (backs up the clock and RAM in the NSJ Controller)
11-3-1 Backlight
The backlight must be replaced when the brightness of the display backlight
dims and the display becomes difficult to see. The backlight cannot be
replaced by the user. Contact your nearest OMRON representative.
Backlight Replacement Guidelines
Replace the backlight according to the following guidelines under normal conditions.
After 50,000 hours of use at room temperature and humidity, or after approximately 40,000 hours if an NSJ8 is used.
The NSJ8, NSJ10, and NSJ12 use a CCFL (cold cathode fluorescent lamp)
for the backlight. The life of a CCFL is affected by the environment and is particularly affected by cold environments. If the backlight become darker, making it difficult to see the screen, replace the backlight. The NSJ5 uses LEDs
for the backlight. The life of a LED is affected by the environment and is particularly affected by hot environments. If the backlight become darker, making it
difficult to see the screen, replace the backlight.
11-3-2 Battery Replacement
Battery Functions
The battery maintains the internal clock and the following data in RAM while
the main power supply is OFF.
• PLC Setup
• Retained regions of I/O memory
If the battery is not installed or the battery voltage drops too low, the internal

Replacing the System Program
The system program in the Display Section can be replaced or upgraded to a higher version by using a Memory Card and the DIP switch. There are two methods that can be used to replace the system program.
• Using a recovery/upgrade program
• Transferring system program data
This function replaces or upgrades the system program in the Display Section only. It does not affect the system program in the Controller Section.
Note If the system program is not replaced correctly, the NSJ Controller may fail to start. Observe the following precautions.
• Always use a recovery/upgrade program when upgrading (or downgrading) the system program.
• The system program must be version 8.0 or higher to be installed in the NSJ5-@Q1@-@@@. Consult
your OMRON representative if a system program of a version lower than 8.0 is to be installed.
• To replace the system program in the NSJ5-@Q0@-@@@ or NSJ8/10/12-@@@@-@@@, system program version 6.5 or higher must be used. If an earlier version is used, screens may not be displayed
properly. If an earlier version is installed by mistake, use a recovery/upgrade program to upgrade to
version 6.5 or higher.
Using a Recovery/Upgrade Program
Use the following procedure to replace the system program if the system program becomes corrupted and the
Display Section will not start or to upgrade the system program in the Display section.
1. Copy all of the files and folders in the RecoverUpdate_6_5 NSJ-HSH folder inside the CX-Designer installation folder (default: C:\ProgramFiles\Omron\CX-One\CX-Designer) to a Memory Card. This program can
be selected when installing the CX-Designer.
2. Insert the Memory Card into the Memory Card slot in the Display Section (MC (DISPLAY)) and turn ON the
power supply. The recovery/update program will start automatically.
Note
(1) Always use the data in the RecoverUpdate_6_5 NSJ-HSH folder when performing a recovery/update operation (6_5 indicates version 6.5). Do not use a version lower than 6.5.
(2) For details on the procedure to replace the system program using the recovery/update program, select Start - Program - OMRON - CX-One - CX-Designer - How to recover the system prog Ver.
6.5.
Transferring System Program Data
When System Program Ver. 6.5 is selected and loaded with the CX-Designer, it is stored under the CXDesigner's install folder (default location is C:\Program Files\Omron\CX-One\CX-Designer) in folders that are
created for each type and version, as follows:
\SystemBackup\NSJ12\V6_5\bank1:Ver. 6.5 for NSJ12
\NSJ10\V6_5\bank1:Ver. 6.5 for NSJ10
\NJS8\V6_5\bank1:Ver. 6.5 for NSJ8
\NSJ5\V6_5\bank1:Ver. 6.5 for NSJ5

indirectly by Omron for the manufacture, production, sale, delivery, importation, consumption or use of the Products sold hereunder (including customs
duties and sales, excise, use, turnover and license taxes) shall be charged to
and remitted by Buyer to Omron.
8. Financial. If the financial position of Buyer at any time becomes unsatisfactory

security or payment in advance. If Buyer fails to make payment or otherwise
comply with these Terms or any related agreement, Omron may (without liability and in addition to other remedies) cancel any unshipped portion of Products sold hereunder and stop any Products in transit until Buyer pays all
amounts, including amounts payable hereunder, whether or not then due,
which are owing to it by Buyer. Buyer shall in any event remain liable for all
unpaid accounts.
9. Cancellation; Etc. Orders are not subject to rescheduling or cancellation
unless Buyer indemnifies Omron against all related costs or expenses.
10. Force Majeure. Omron shall not be liable for any delay or failure in delivery
resulting from causes beyond its control, including earthquakes, fires, floods,
strikes or other labor disputes, shortage of labor or materials, accidents to
machinery, acts of sabotage, riots, delay in or lack of transportation or the
requirements of any government authority.
11. Shipping; Delivery. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by Omron:
a. Shipments shall be by a carrier selected by Omron; Omron will not drop ship
except in “break down” situations.
b. Such carrier shall act as the agent of Buyer and delivery to such carrier shall
constitute delivery to Buyer;
c. All sales and shipments of Products shall be FOB shipping point (unless otherwise stated in writing by Omron), at which point title and risk of loss shall
pass from Omron to Buyer; provided that Omron shall retain a security interest in the Products until the full purchase price is paid;

from Omron in the condition claimed.
13. Warranties. (a) Exclusive Warranty. Omron’s exclusive warranty is that the
Products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of
twelve months from the date of sale by Omron (or such other period expressed

the Products unless Omron’s analysis confirms that the Products were properly handled, stored, installed and maintained and not subject to contamination, abuse, misuse or inappropriate modification. Return of any Products by
Buyer must be approved in writing by Omron before shipment. Omron Companies shall not be liable for the suitability or unsuitability or the results from the
use of Products in combination with any electrical or electronic components,
circuits, system assemblies or any other materials or substances or environments. Any advice, recommendations or information given orally or in writing,
are not to be construed as an amendment or addition to the above warranty.
See http://www.omron247.com or contact your Omron representative for published information.
Limitation on Liability; Etc. OMRON COMPANIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE
FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES,
LOSS OF PROFITS OR PRODUCTION OR COMMERCIAL LOSS IN ANY

Further, in no event shall liability of Omron Companies exceed the individual
price of the Product on which liability is asserted.
Indemnities. Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Omron Companies and
their employees from and against all liabilities, losses, claims, costs and
expenses (including attorney's fees and expenses) related to any claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding (whether or not Omron is a party) which arises
or is alleged to arise from Buyer's acts or omissions under these Terms or in
any way with respect to the Products. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer (at
its own expense) shall indemnify and hold harmless Omron and defend or settle any action brought against such Companies to the extent based on a claim
that any Product made to Buyer specifications infringed intellectual property
rights of another party.
Property; Confidentiality. Any intellectual property in the Products is the exclusive property of Omron Companies and Buyer shall not attempt to duplicate it
in any way without the written permission of Omron. Notwithstanding any
charges to Buyer for engineering or tooling, all engineering and tooling shall
remain the exclusive property of Omron. All information and materials supplied
by Omron to Buyer relating to the Products are confidential and proprietary,
and Buyer shall limit distribution thereof to its trusted employees and strictly
prevent disclosure to any third party.
Export Controls. Buyer shall comply with all applicable laws, regulations and
licenses regarding (i) export of products or information; (iii) sale of products to
“forbidden” or other proscribed persons; and (ii) disclosure to non-citizens of
regulated technology or information.
Miscellaneous. (a) Waiver. No failure or delay by Omron in exercising any right
and no course of dealing between Buyer and Omron shall operate as a waiver
of rights by Omron. (b) Assignment. Buyer may not assign its rights hereunder
without Omron's written consent. (c) Law. These Terms are governed by the
law of the jurisdiction of the home office of the Omron company from which
Buyer is purchasing the Products (without regard to conflict of law principles). (d) Amendment. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between
Buyer and Omron relating to the Products, and no provision may be changed
or waived unless in writing signed by the parties. (e) Severability. If any provision hereof is rendered ineffective or invalid, such provision shall not invalidate
any other provision. (f) Setoff. Buyer shall have no right to set off any amounts
against the amount owing in respect of this invoice. (g) Definitions. As used
herein, “including” means “including without limitation”; and “Omron Companies” (or similar words) mean Omron Corporation and any direct or indirect
subsidiary or affiliate thereof.
Certain Precautions on Specifications and Use
1. Suitability of Use. Omron Companies shall not be responsible for conformity
with any standards, codes or regulations which apply to the combination of the
Product in the Buyer’s application or use of the Product. At Buyer’s request,
Omron will provide applicable third party certification documents identifying
ratings and limitations of use which apply to the Product. This information by
itself is not sufficient for a complete determination of the suitability of the Product in combination with the end product, machine, system, or other application
or use. Buyer shall be solely responsible for determining appropriateness of
the particular Product with respect to Buyer’s application, product or system.
Buyer shall take application responsibility in all cases but the following is a
non-exhaustive list of applications for which particular attention must be given:
(i) Outdoor use, uses involving potential chemical contamination or electrical
interference, or conditions or uses not described in this document.
(ii) Use in consumer products or any use in significant quantities.
(iii) Energy control systems, combustion systems, railroad systems, aviation
systems, medical equipment, amusement machines, vehicles, safety equipment, and installations subject to separate industry or government regulations.
(iv) Systems, machines and equipment that could present a risk to life or property. Please know and observe all prohibitions of use applicable to this Product.
NEVER USE THE PRODUCT FOR AN APPLICATION INVOLVING SERIOUS
RISK TO LIFE OR PROPERTY OR IN LARGE QUANTITIES WITHOUT
ENSURING THAT THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO
2.
3.
4.
5.
ADDRESS THE RISKS, AND THAT THE OMRON’S PRODUCT IS PROPERLY RATED AND INSTALLED FOR THE INTENDED USE WITHIN THE
OVERALL EQUIPMENT OR SYSTEM.
Programmable Products. Omron Companies shall not be responsible for the
user’s programming of a programmable Product, or any consequence thereof.
Performance Data. Data presented in Omron Company websites, catalogs
and other materials is provided as a guide for the user in determining suitability and does not constitute a warranty. It may represent the result of Omron’s
test conditions, and the user must correlate it to actual application requirements. Actual performance is subject to the Omron’s Warranty and Limitations
of Liability.
Change in Specifications. Product specifications and accessories may be
changed at any time based on improvements and other reasons. It is our practice to change part numbers when published ratings or features are changed,
or when significant construction changes are made. However, some specifications of the Product may be changed without any notice. When in doubt, special part numbers may be assigned to fix or establish key specifications for
your application. Please consult with your Omron’s representative at any time
to confirm actual specifications of purchased Product.
Errors and Omissions. Information presented by Omron Companies has been
checked and is believed to be accurate; however, no responsibility is assumed
for clerical, typographical or proofreading errors or omissions.
