Omron NS5-MQ00B-V2 Programmable Terminal for Machine Operator Interfaces

Product Overview

The Omron NS5-MQ00B-V2 is a programmable terminal (touch screen HMI) from the NS series, designed for industrial machine operator interfaces. This 7-inch wide-screen TFT color display offers 16.77 million colors (24-bit full color) with a resolution of 800 x 480 dots (WVGA), providing vivid and clear visualization of machine status, production data, and alarm information. The NS5-MQ00B-V2 features an analog resistive touch screen, operable with gloved fingers. The display has a long-life LED backlight with a typical lifespan of 50,000 hours, ensuring reliable operation over many years. The black frame model provides a clean, modern appearance. The panel is compact, with dimensions of 218 mm x 113 mm x 38.2 mm.

Key Features of NS5-MQ00B-V2

The NS series programmable terminal includes multiple communication interfaces for connecting to a wide range of PLCs, including Omron SYSMAC CS/CJ, CPM, and CP series, as well as third-party PLCs via serial and Ethernet protocols. The NS5-MQ00B-V2 supports serial (RS-232C) and Ethernet (EtherNet/IP) communication, providing flexibility for integration into existing automation networks. The terminal includes USB ports (Type A and Mini-B) for data transfer, screen updates, and connection to peripherals such as USB memory sticks, keyboards, or mice. An SD card slot is provided for data logging, recipe storage, and screen transfer. The panel is programmed using CX-Designer software.

The NS5-MQ00B-V2 offers a rich set of display features including alarm handling, trend graphs, data logging, and macro functions. The multi-language support allows operators to switch languages at runtime. The terminal includes a real-time clock with battery backup for time-stamping events. The panel can be panel-mounted with a cutout, providing an IP67-rated front for protection against dust and water in washdown environments. The unit operates on 24 V DC power and has a power consumption of 12 W typical. The operating temperature is 0 to 50°C. The unit is certified for CE, UL, and KC standards.

Functional Description

The NS5-MQ00B-V2 communicates with the PLC via Ethernet or serial, exchanging device data in real time. Screens are created in CX-Designer and downloaded to the terminal via USB, Ethernet, or SD card. At runtime, the HMI updates graphic objects from PLC values and writes operator inputs back to PLC registers. The data logging function records process variables to SD card for analysis. Alarms trigger pop-up windows and log events. The web server allows remote monitoring via a standard web browser. The USB port can be used to upload screen data without a PC.

Applications

The Omron NS5-MQ00B-V2 is used in machine tool operator panels, packaging machine interfaces, assembly line monitoring stations, food processing equipment, and small process control systems. The high-resolution color display is ideal for applications requiring clear visualization of machine status and production data.
