■ Introduction

This guide provides reference information for the use of external devices with the NA. It does not provide

safety information.

Be sure to obtain the NA-series Programmable Terminal User's Manuals, read and understand the safety

points and other information required for use, and test sufficiently before actually using the equipment.

Terms and Conditions Agreement

Warranty, Limitations of Liability

Warranties

 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 in writing by Omron). Omron disclaims all other warranties, express or implied.

 Limitations

OMRON MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,

ABOUT NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR

PURPOSE OF THE PRODUCTS. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT ALONE HAS

DETERMINED THAT THE PRODUCTS WILL SUITABLY MEET THE REQUIREMENTS

OF THEIR INTENDED USE.

Omron further disclaims all warranties and responsibility of any type for claims or expenses

based on infringement by the Products or otherwise of any intellectual property right.

 Buyer Remedy

Omron’s sole obligation hereunder shall be, at Omron’s election, to (i) replace (in the form

originally shipped with Buyer responsible for labor charges for removal or replacement

thereof) the non-complying Product, (ii) repair the non-complying Product, or (iii) repay or

credit Buyer an amount equal to the purchase price of the non-complying Product; provided

that in no event shall Omron be responsible for warranty, repair, indemnity or any other

claims or expenses regarding 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.omron.com/global/ 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 WAY CONNECTED WITH THE PRODUCTS, WHETHER

SUCH CLAIM IS BASED IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT

LIABILITY.

Further, in no event shall liability of Omron Companies exceed the individual price of the

Product on which liability is asserted.

Application Considerations

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.

NEVER USE THE PRODUCT FOR AN APPLICATION INVOLVING SERIOUS RISK TO

LIFE OR PROPERTY WITHOUT ENSURING THAT THE SYSTEM AS A WHOLE HAS

BEEN DESIGNED TO ADDRESS THE RISKS, AND THAT THE OMRON PRODUCT(S) 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.

Disclaimers

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.

 Legend

The results of the comparison are displayed in the following colours.

・Red: The name in the target and source devices are the same, but the data types are

different.

・Green：The variable exists in only the target device (Sysmac Studio). This disappears after

the difference is copied and applied.

・Blue：The variable exists in only the source device (External Device). The difference in

variables can be copied to the Sysmac Studio.

・Yellow：The copied variables. In this status, the variables have not been copied to the

“Device Variables” Column of the Sysmac Studio. Therefore, the copied variables are not

applied to the “Device Variables” Column even after the “Merge Device Variable” Dialog Box is

closed. You need to click the ”Apply” Button to apply the results of copying to the “Device

Variables” Column.

 “Copy Selected Right to Left” Button

This button merges the selected lines of variables from the source device (External Device) to

the target device (Sysmac Studio).

Even this button is simply clicked, the results of copying is not applied to the ”Device Variables”

Column. To apply the results of copying, you need to click the ”Apply” Button.

 “Copy All Right to Left” Button

This button merges all of the differences between the two devices from the source device

(External Device) to the target device (Sysmac Studio). Even this button is simply clicked, the

results of copying is not applied to the ”Device Variables” Column. To apply the results of

copying, you need to click the ”Apply” Button.

 “Undo Selected” Button

This button undoes the selected copy operation. You can undo the copy operations only

before clicking the “Apply” Button.

 “Undo All” Button

This button undoes all of the copy operations before clicking the “Apply” Button.

 “Apply” Button

This button finalizes the copied variables and applies the result to the “Device Variables”

Column. After the result is applied, the colors of ”legend” disappear and the variables in

the ”Target Device Variable” and ”Source Device Variable” Fields become the same.

４-３ Supported Devices and Applicable Variable Import Methods

There are the following three methods to import variable information of the External Device.

Applicable methods and restrictions depend on the type of External Device.

The import methods for each External Device are as follows.

Method

Device type

Importing and updating

variables directly from

device (note 1)

Direct entry (note 2) Copy and paste( note 2)

NJ/NX Supported Supported Supported

CJ-CIP Supported Supported Supported

CJ-FINS Not supported Supported (note 3) Supported (note 3)

Note 1)

The following table shows whether “Importing and updating variables directly from device” is

supported by each variable.

 Variable

Device type

System-defined

variables User-defined variables

Not published Publish Only Input Output

NJ/NX Supported Not supported Supported Supported Supported

CJ-CIP Not supported

(note 4) Not supported Supported Supported Supported

Note 2)

A building error occurs if a data type that you entered is not within the “IntelliSense” scope.

For this reason, you cannot neither define structures nor enter the external device variables in

the “Data Type” Field.

Note 3)

For the CJ-FINS, AT (address) must be entered.

For information on how to enter AT (address), refer to the “Address/Value” Field of the CX-

Programmer variable table.

Note 4)

CJ system-defined variables don’t have the “Publish” setting. Also, the user can not add this

setting to the variables. For this reason, the CJ system-defined variables cannot be imported

by any variable import method.

Additional Information

When importing the NJ/NX variables, the user-defined variables and the system-defined

variables are imported together.

The CJ-CIP system-defined variables cannot be imported since this variable cannot be

set as network variable.

４-４ Import Information of External Device Variable Table

To import the external device variable and the physical address information and use them in

the NA, you must define the data type regardless of the import method.

16

The following table shows whether the “Device Variables” Column of the Sysmac Studio must be

entered. Device type Name (variable) Data Type Comment Address/Value (AT)

NJ/NX Required Required Optional Not required

CJ-CIP Required Required Optional Not required

CJ-FINS Required Required Optional Required

Additional Information

A variable name for the CJ-FINS must be entered. If the CJ project file is designed only

with physical address, you must define the variable to the physical address to be

imported to the NA.
