Turning on the PowerTurning on the PowerTurn on the power to the CP1E. The power is also supplied to NV through the RE-232C serial port on the CP1E.

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 moving to System Menu F-ROM clear

Note1: The data saved in the F-ROM includes screen data and NV configuration data.Note2: Other than the DIP switch setting, you can clear the F-ROM from the System Menu.

Turning ON the power to CP1E

NV startup mode

Turn ON the power to the CP1E. The POWER LED indicator on the front of CP1E lights in green. The NV screen shows a message as follows:

Note: 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.

Turn OFF all pins. Turn ON pin 2. Turn ON pins 2, 3,and 4.

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 the touch panel on the PT as shown below.(This is common for entire NV-series.)

The startup screen of the System Menu will be displayed.The next screen will be displayed if you touch the Setting or Test Key. To return to normal operating status, touch the ESC Key.

Changing the System Menu Language.・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 NV4W or NV3Q , the language is switchable between English and Japanese on the NV System Menu.


1) Touch the upper left corner (A) for at least 2 seconds.

2) Then immediately touch the upper right corner (B) and lower right corner (C) in order.

Touch the A for at least 2 seconds, then press B and C in order.

Note: Touch A for 2 s and then B and C in order. Touch points A, B, and C one at a time in order. Do not press these switches at the same time. They must be pressed in order.

2. The startup screen of the System Menu will be displayed.The default language for the System Menu is English, if there is no screen data in the PT.The System Menu depends on the model of PT. The default System Menu for the NV3W is used here.

Note: The system version is the version of the system ROM in the PT.

Setting the CP1E Serial Port Setting the CP1E Serial Port To have the NV and the CP1E 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 CP1E.

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-CP1E communications setting exampleBoth the NV and the CP1E 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 CP1E 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 CP1E

Use the PLC programming tool or the CX-Programmer. Follow the steps below to set the RS-232C serial port built in the CP1E.

Connect the CX-Programmer and the CP1E online using a USB cable.

Change the CP1E operation mode to “Programming” (Stop).

Upload the PLC settings (including the built-in RS-232C serial port setting)

from CP1E.

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

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

the CP1E.

Turn OFF and then ON the power of the CP1E.

(The settings are reflected only after the power is turned ON.)

Note: Communications may be enabled, even when the stop bit on the PLC is 2 while the bit on the NV is 1. However, be sure to align the both in 1.

*After this setting is completed, turn OFF and then ON the power of the CP1E.

2. Select the range of the image to show on the NV and copy it.

<MS Paint>1) Select the range.

(Press Ctrl + A for select all)2) Right-click the image, and

select Copy from the context menu. Alternatively, pressCtrl + C and copy the image on the clip board.

3. On the NV-Designer, open the screen to paste the image. Right-click and select Past from the context menu. Alternatively, press Ctrl + V to past the image.

Right-Click!! 1) Select Past.

Note: Any images or pictures larger than the display resolution (for NV3W, 128 w x 64 h, and for NV3Q, 320 w x 240 h) cannot be pasted. Scale down the images to any sizes smaller than the resolution, before you past them.

Transfer Data After Clear NV Screen:When the box is checked, the data is transferred to the NV after the flash memory of the NV is all cleared.When the box is not checked, the data is transferred into the unused area of the flash memory of the NV. The area which has already the transferred data will be invalid, and cannot be used until it is cleared next time. This method requires less transfer time.When the message “Memory is full” is shown on the screen, check this box and transfer the data.

■ Screen No. Error:The system memory has an area that is used to switch the NV screen display from the PLC. If the same screen No. stored in the area does not exist in the screen data, the error message “Screen No. Error” shows on the screen. As for the screen data created in this handbook, the area is allocated in D0 address in the PLC. Write “0” for the base screen 0 in D0 address on the CX-Programmer.

Write “0” for D0.

Monitoring or changing the PLC parameters from the CX-ProgrammerAfter connecting the NV and CP1E, confirm NV screen operations. This step is explained in the next few pages. This subsection explains the Watch Window to monitor and change the PLC parameters from the CX-Programmer.< Starting up the Watch Window >

On the menu bar, select View – Window – Watch.

Double-click!!

Enter an address.

Enter a value.

< Monitoring the parameter values >Double-click the Watch Window. Enter an address to monitor.When the PLC is connected online, the present value can be read.

< Changing the address value >When the PLC is connected online, double-click the line on the Watch Window, on which the address is registered. Change the value. Put the mark “#” in front of a hexadecimal figure. (E.g. #1A)Put nothing or the mark “&” in front of a decimal figure. (E.g.1234, &1234)

Specify the data type.

*The values cannot be changed when the PLC is in Run mode.Change the PLC mode to Monitor (Program is in RUN.) or Program (Program is in STOP).

Switching screens from the CP1E PLC

1. Write “&0” for D0 address, and show the Screen0.

2. Write “&1” for D0 address, and show the Screen1.

When the screen switches, “&0” is notified to D2 address.

Setting1. On the CX-Programmer, open a project of a CS-, CJ- or CP-series PLC.

Double-click the New PLC in the project tree. The Change PLC dialog box shows.

Double-click!!

2. In the Network Type filed, select the NV type as specified below. Click the OK button.

⋅ NV3W NV-Thru (Serial Port)⋅ NV4W, NV3Q NV-Thru (USB Port)

3. Connect it online.

⋅ The CX-Programmer and the NV-Designer use the same serial port. Therefore, only one of them is online-connected with the NV at a time.

⋅ You can also connect the CX-Programmer with PLC through the NV by selecting PLC – Auto Online - Direct Connection from the PLC menu.

*The NV requires no setting.
