If you turn on the power to NV after you change the DIP switch pins on the NV back face to any setting other than the factory setting, the NV starts up in a special operation mode. You can use the functions to prohibit accessing the System Menu and to clear the F-ROM. Do not use the NV in any settings other than shown below.

Normal operation (factory setting)

Prohibiting accessing System Menu Clearing F-ROM

※ The data saved in the F-ROM includes screen data and NV configuration data.※ Other than the DIP switch setting, you can clear the F-ROM from the System Menu.

■ NV startup mode

Turn on the power to the CP1. The POWER LED indicator on the front of CP1 lights in green. The NV screen shows a message as follows:

※ The message “No Screen data” is shown when the NV has no screen data. As the NV contains no data at factory shipping, the message is shown accordingly.

Displaying the NV System MenuDisplaying the NV System MenuThe System Menu is the special screen that is used to configure the NV. Some settings such as touch switch adjustment can only be done on the System Menu.

Accessing the System Menu

Follow the steps below to access the System Menu.

1. Touch by hand on the touch panel. (This is common for entire NV-series.)

① Touch part A at top left for 2 seconds or longer.

② Immediately after that, tough part B at top right and then part C at bottom right.

※ Be sure to touch part A, B and C one by one in this order. Do not press them at the same time.

2. The startup screen of the System Menu will show.

The startup screen of the System Menu will show. Touching the Setting key or the Test key will show the next screen. Touching the ESC key will end the System Menu and return to normal operation.

※ The “System Ver” indicates the NV system ROM version.

When the NV has no screen data, the System Menu is shown in English.The System Menu screens differ by PT models. This explanation uses the NV3W.

■ To show the System Menu in other languages:・On the NV3W, the language changes to the one set by System Language (either English

or Japanese) option for the transferred screen data. Thus transferring the screen data enables the language setting. ※The language is not switchable on the NV System Menu.

・On the NV3Q , the language is switchable between English and Japanese on the NV System Menu.

Touch part A for 2 seconds or longer. Then tough part B and C in this order.

Setting the CP1 Serial Port Setting the CP1 Serial Port To have the NV and the CP1 communications, the both serial ports must have the same setting. Use the PLC programming tool or CX-Programmer to set the communications standard on the CP1.

■ Be sure to change the Stop Bit on the PLC from the default 2 to 1.The stop bit for the NV serial communications is fixed to 1 . Therefore, the stop bit of the PLC serial port must be changed from the default 2 to 1.

NV-CP1 communications setting exampleBoth the NV and the CP1 support the high speed communication of 115,200 bps. Connect them in this baud rate.Set the RS-232C serial ports on both of the NV and the CP1 as follows:

・Mode: Host Link・Baud rate: 115,200 bps・Data length: 7・Stop bit: 1・Parity bit: even

Communications setting for RS-232C serial port built in the CP1

Use the PLC programming tool or the CX-Programmer. Follow the steps below to set the RS-232C serial port built in the CP1.

Connect the CX-Programmer and the CP1 online by a USB cable.

Change the CP1 operation mode to “Programming” (※Stop).

Upload the PLC system setting (including the built-in RS-232C serial

port setting) from CP1.

Set the built-in RS-232C serial port on the PLC system setting.

Write the PLC system setting (including the built-in RS-232C serial port setting)

into the CP1.

Turn on the power to the CP1.(The setting is reflect only after a
