Omron NS12-TS00B-V2 / NS12-TS00B-ECV2 Programmable Terminals (NS12 Series)

The Omron NS12-TS00B-V2 and NS12-TS00B-ECV2 are large‑format HMIs from the NS12 series. Featuring a 12.1‑inch diagonal TFT color display with 800 × 600 pixel resolution (SVGA), these terminals provide a bright, clear interface for machine operation and monitoring. The NS12‑TS00B‑V2 offers serial communication (RS‑232C/422/485), while the NS12‑TS00B‑ECV2 adds an Ethernet port for network connectivity. Both models are equipped with a resistive touch panel, USB ports for data transfer, and a user memory of 32 MB for screen projects, recipe data, and logging. The NS12 series is designed for demanding industrial environments with IP65 front panel protection.

Functional Description

The NS12 series HMIs are used for machine control, data entry, alarm management, and process visualization. They support direct connection to Omron PLCs (CJ, CS, CP, CJ2, etc.) and many third‑party controllers via built‑in drivers. The Ethernet model allows integration with factory networks, remote monitoring via web server, and data exchange using FTP or SQL. The USB host port accepts memory sticks for screen backup and data logging.

Programming Software

Project development is done using CX‑Designer (part of CX‑One). The software includes a library of pre‑built symbols, animation tools, and support for multi‑language text. It also features a macro language for complex calculations and scripted responses. Programs are transferred via USB, serial, or Ethernet.

Typical Applications

The NS12 is commonly used on large packaging machines, printing presses, textile machinery, and process control skids. The large display is ideal for showing complex process diagrams or multiple trend charts simultaneously.

Conclusion

The Omron NS12-TS00B-V2 and ECV2 provide a powerful, large‑format HMI with flexible connectivity and durable construction for industrial automation.
