Loading...How to fix Omron NT21 Touch terminals when the power indicator fails to come ON?
If the power indicator on your Omron Touch terminals fails to illuminate, the issue may stem from two potential causes. First, there might be a problem with the power supply. Check the connections to ensure that power is being supplied correctly. Second, the power supply fuse may have blown. In this case, you should contact your nearest OMRON representative.
Why is updating of numeric values and text delayed on Omron Touch terminals?
Several factors can cause delays in updating numeric values and text on Omron Touch terminals. The issue could be due to malfunction from external noise. Another possible cause is having too many numeral/text displays on the displayed screen; try reducing the number of these displays on the screen experiencing delays. Additionally, the host cycle time might be extended due to heavy processing at the host; attempt to shorten the host cycle time. Finally, in an RS-422A/485 connection, incorrect wiring or an erroneous terminator setting can lead to delays; ensure the wiring is correct.
How to brighten the display on Omron NT21?
If the display on your Omron Touch terminals appears dim, it could be due to insufficient contrast or brightness. For the NT31/NT31C or NT631/NT631C models, you can use the system menu to increase the contrast and/or brightness. For the NT21 model, use the switches on the back of the PT to increase the contrast. (Note that the brightness cannot be adjusted on the NT21.) Another potential cause is a defective or expired backlight. For the NT31/NT31C or NT631C models, replace the backlight. For the NT21, contact your nearest OMRON representative.
What to do if the Omron Touch terminals touch panel does not respond?
If the touch panel on your Omron Touch terminals is unresponsive, it could be due to malfunction from external noise. Another possibility is that the touch panel is broken. To check this, test the touch panel with I/O Check in the MAINTENANCE MODE menu. If there is an error, contact your nearest OMRON representative.
Why can't I input numeric values or character strings on Omron NT21 Touch terminals?
If you cannot input numeric values or character strings on your Omron Touch terminals, it is likely because bit 5 of the PT status control area (numeral/character string input) is set to 1 (ON). Set bit 5 to 0 (OFF).
Why can't I call up the System Menu on Omron NT21 Touch terminals?
If the System Menu cannot be called up, it is possible that Display System Menu under Change System Settings in the System Installer mode is set to Disabled. In the System Installer mode, set Display System Menu to Enabled.
Why are some set elements not displayed on overlapping screens of Omron Touch terminals?
If some set elements are not displayed on overlapping screens, it is because the data is transmitted from the host in screen units, the number of elements on the overlapping screens has exceeded the maximum permissible without being checked by the Support Tool. Check the maximum number of elements, create the screen data again, then send all the screen data in a batch to the PT.
Why doesn't the screen change when calling Device Monitor from the PPTT status control area on Omron NT21 Touch terminals?
If the screen doesn’t change when the Device Monitor function is called from the PPTT status control area, the issue might be due to the communications protocol setting at the PT not being 1:1 NT Link or 1:N NT Link. Check the memory switches and set the connected PC’s serial port protocol to 1:1 NT Link or 1:N NT Link, and ensure the same protocol is set in the PC. Alternatively, the system program installed in the PT could be for a PC maker other than OMRON; the Device Monitor function only works when connected to an OMRON PC. Verify the system program type and ensure it’s an OMRON Direct Access system program with version 3. or higher.
Why can't I input numeric values on Omron NT21?
If you are unable to input numeric values on your Omron Touch terminals, it is likely that the upper/lower (max./min.) limit check for numeric value input is in effect. Check the screen data’s upper/lower (max./min.) limit check setting for numeric value input, and correct it if necessary.
Why does the PC mode change to MONITOR mode on Omron NT21?
The PC mode changes to MONITOR mode because this is an Omron Touch terminals specification when host link communication is used. When using a PC that can also be connected using the NT link method, use an NT link connection as there is no mode change with the NT link method.
