4. Product Lifecycle Notice

✅ Official End of Production (EOP)

Available supply: New surplus stock and used refurbished units; spare part prices keep rising.

โซลูชั่นทดแทน

1. Direct in-place replacement (ที่ต้องการ, compatible mounting cutout)

NA8-12W101-V2 (8.4-inch NA series; wide screen, note resolution difference, screen project needs full redesign)

2. Minimum program modification migration solution

Used NS8-TV00B-ECV2

3. ทางเลือกภายในประเทศ: ไวน์วิว, Kinco 8-inch HMI; requires full screen redrawing and communication debugging.
4. ข้อผิดพลาดทั่วไป & Pitfall Reminders
5. Typical failure: CCFL backlight aging leading to black screen. Backlight strip replacement or LED backlight modification is feasible.
6. Touch malfunction: Touch panel aging; independent replacement touch glass available for purchase.
7. Ethernet communication failure: The Ethernet chip of ECV2 model is vulnerable to electrostatic damage. Surge protection is recommended for communication cables.
8. ความเข้ากันได้ของโปรแกรม: Projects developed for V2 hardware cannot be opened directly on early V1 units.
9. Ordering distinction: Do not confuse NS8-TV00B-V2 (ไม่มีอีเทอร์เน็ต) and ECV2 (ด้วยอีเธอร์เน็ต).
10. การใช้งานทั่วไป

Programming Software for OMRON NS8-TV00B-ECV2

1. Software Evolution

This unit belongs to NS Series V2 Hardware (-ECV2)

1. Original standalone software: NS-Designer (Max Version V6)
2. Later integrated software: CX-Designer

✅ CX-Designer is widely adopted currently

CX-Designer is integrated into the CX-One software suite, CX-One installation is prioritized.

2. Version Selection Recommendation
3. CX-One 4.0 / 4.1 (Most stable, widely used in industrial automation)

Built-in CX-Designer, fully compatible with NS8-TV00B-ECV2.

2. Newer CX-One 4.2/4.3 are also compatible, but compatibility mode configuration is required under Win10/Win11.
3. ❌ Sysmac Studio is NOT supported!

Sysmac Studio only supports NA/NJ/NX series; it cannot work with legacy NS touch screens.

3. Project File Formats

Source project file: `.ipp`

Compiled file downloaded to HMI: `.tsp`

4. หมายเหตุสำคัญ
5. Old NS-Designer projects can be opened and converted directly with CX-Designer; reverse conversion is not available.
6. วิธีการดาวน์โหลดโปรแกรม: อีเทอร์เน็ต(FINS), USB-B cable, RS232 serial port.
7. NS8-TV00B-ECV2 is V2 hardware; select exact model NS8-TV00B-ECV2 in software, avoid selecting V1 version.
8. HMI firmware upgrade can be performed within CX-Designer.
9. Common Confusion Reminder

Many users mix up different software:

NB series HMI → NB-Designer

NA/NJ new generation → Sysmac Studio

Legacy NS touch screen → CX-Designer (CX-One Suite)

Full List of Supported Communication Protocols for OMRON NS8-TV00B-ECV2

อินเทอร์เฟซฮาร์ดแวร์: Dual RS232C (Port A / Port B; Port B switchable to RS422/485) + Built-in RJ45 Ethernet + โฮสต์ USB + USB Slave

ซอฟต์แวร์: CX-Designer (CX-One Suite). All protocols can be selected in [การตั้งค่าการสื่อสาร] of project.

1. Protocols for Ethernet Port (Built-in on ECV2)

For connecting OMRON PLC, program download and PC host communication

1. FINS Ethernet (UDP/TCP) [Primary Protocol]

For CJ1M/CJ2M/CS1G/CP1H/CP1E OMRON PLCs, ใช้กันมากที่สุด.

2. Modbus TCP (ผู้เชี่ยวชาญ)

Direct connection to Modbus TCP instruments and third-party PLCs.

3. Controller Link (Ethernet routing)
4. Memory Link (อีเทอร์เน็ต)

Data exchange with custom PC host software.

2. Serial Port Protocols (RS232C / RS422/485)

✅ OMRON native protocols (For OMRON PLC connection)

1. NT Link 1:1 / NT Link 1:เอ็น (High-speed serial)

Compatible with CJ/CS/CP1H series (Classic serial communication for NS series)

2. Host Link (1:1)

Legacy OMRON PLCs: CVM1, C200H, CPM1A, ฯลฯ.

3. CompoWay/F

Direct connection to OMRON temperature controllers E5CC/E5AZ and sensors, no PLC forwarding required.

✅ Standard Industrial Protocols

1. Modbus RTU (ผู้เชี่ยวชาญ)

Frequency inverters, เครื่องมือ, third-party PLCs (Only RTU supported, Modbus ASCII is not supported)

2. Memory Link (อนุกรม)

Serial data exchange between PC host and HMI.

✅ Third-party PLC Serial Protocols

มิตซูบิชิ: MC Protocol (3C/4C Frame) → FX/Q Series

Rockwell AB: DF1 Protocol

GE Fanuc: SNP-X Protocol

ซีเมนส์: ซีเมนส์ 3964(ร)/RK512 (S5/Old S7 serial, S7 Ethernet is not supported)

⚠️ Critical Limitation: Native S7 TCP / โปรฟิเน็ต / CC-Link are unavailable. Cannot connect S7-1200/1500 directly via Ethernet; Modbus TCP gateway is required for communication with new Siemens PLCs.

3. USB Port Functions (Cannot be used for PLC communication, only peripheral connection & program download)
4. USB Slave (Type-B): Connect PC CX-Designer for program upload/download
5. โฮสต์ USB (Type-A): แฟลชไดรฟ์ USB (การบันทึกข้อมูล, program import), USB printer, mouse

❌ USB cannot communicate with PLC

4. Key Engineering Pitfall Notes
5. Port A and Port B can run different protocols simultaneously, enabling one HMI to connect two sets of equipment independently.
6. NS8-TV00B-ECV2 only works as Communication Master, cannot act as Slave. It cannot be read/written actively by external PLCs.
7. Ethernet port and serial ports support parallel communication at the same time.
8. Firmware version affects protocol stability: Upgrade HMI system firmware to V8 or above for better reliability of third-party protocols.
9. อีเธอร์เน็ต/ไอพี, โอพีซี ยูเอ, Profinet are not supported natively.
10. ความแตกต่าง: NS series protocols are incompatible with NA/NB series.

Recommended Communication Schemes

1. OMRON CJ/CP Series PLC → FINS Ethernet (ตัวเลือกแรก)
2. Multiple E5CC Temperature Controllers → CompoWay/F (อาร์เอส485)
3. อินเวอร์เตอร์ & General Instruments → Modbus RTU (อาร์เอส485) or Modbus TCP
4. Mitsubishi FX Equipment Retrofit → MC Protocol (อนุกรม)

Supported Operating Systems for CX-Designer (Matching NS8-TV00B-ECV2)

CX-Designer is embedded within the CX-One software suite. All descriptions below apply to widely deployed CX-One V4.x (CX-Designer V3.x) — the stable version for editing NS series HMI projects.

1. Officially Supported Operating Systems

✅ Officially validated & ที่แนะนำ

1. หน้าต่าง 7 (32นิดหน่อย / 64นิดหน่อย; มืออาชีพ / Enterprise / Ultimate Edition)
2. หน้าต่าง 8.1 (32นิดหน่อย / 64นิดหน่อย; System patch KB2919355 installation required)
3. หน้าต่าง 10 (32นิดหน่อย / 64นิดหน่อย; โปร / Enterprise / LTSC all compatible)
4. หน้าต่าง 11 (Only 64bit. No official certification; verified operable in practice, compatibility mode configuration mandatory)

❌ Officially Unsupported

วินโดวส์เอ็กซ์พี, Windows Vista: Only compatible with legacy CX-Designer V2. Not recommended for NS8-TV00B-ECV2 project editing, risk of corrupted projects and firmware download failures.

Original Windows 8: Poor compatibility, not recommended by OMRON.

All Windows Server systems (Server2016/2019 etc.): No official guarantee; partial environments may run with instability.

2. Practical Operation Tips for Different OS (Industrial Site Pitfall Avoidance)

1) Windows7 64bit

⭐ Preferred OS with maximum stability

Rarely encounter communication errors or upload/download failures; standard configuration for industrial field computers.

2) Windows10 64bit (LTSC 2019/2021 ที่แนะนำ)

Good compatibility; right-click installer → Run as administrator during installation.

หลังการติดตั้ง: Configure CX-Designer shortcut: Compatibility Mode Windows7 + Run as administrator.

3) Windows11 64bit

⚠️ Not officially certified, works under practical testing

Common risks: Intermittent disconnection during USB program download, unstable FINS Ethernet communication.

Two mandatory settings:

1. CX-Designer shortcut → Properties → Compatibility Mode: Windows7
2. Disable Memory Integrity (Windows Security → Device Security → Core Isolation)
3. Important Restrictions
4. No standalone 64-bit CX-Designer executable. The software is a 32-bit program running via WOW64 subsystem on 64-bit Windows.
5. Avoid compact/green portable CX-One releases; high risk of connection failure to NS8-TV00B-ECV2 and project damage.
6. MacOS, ลินุกซ์: No native support. Only operable via virtual machine (VMware running Win7/Win10).
7. Software boundary distinction:

CX-Designer: NS Series (NS8-TV00B-ECV2)

Sysmac Studio: NA/NJ/NX, Cannot open NS projects

4. Minimum Hardware Requirements

Display Resolution ≥1024×768

Full CX-One installation: ≥4GB free hard disk space

RAM ≥4GB (8GB or higher recommended under Win10/Win11)
