Powerful HMI features

Powerful, colour HMI in a compact format
The NQ series, Omrons family of easy to use and economic HMI terminals, offers you many useful features, with the best quality graphical display in even the smallest touch screen. This makes the NQ family ideal for many different applications, for example from a simple semi-automatic packaging machine up to a bigger in-line packaging or filling machine.
More functionality and flexibility at no extra cost
The smallest version of the NQ series is ideal in places where operators are currently using pushbuttons and lamps, or text based function-key terminals, by offering more functionality and flexibility without increasing overall costs. The NQ touch screen gives you the functionality to create intuitive screens for the operator with ready-to-use buttons and lamps from the library, alarm handling and even trending and logging of historical data. The color displays ensure that you make full benefit of the functionality of the NQ HMI series, as the screens clarity and brightness makes the colored statuses jump out to clearly inform the operator.
Besides the use of the touch screen, the operator can also use 5 or 6 function keys for commonly used functions throughout the HMI application. Updating the HMI application or uploading historical data from the NQ can be done easily and quickly with a standard USB stick. This means that you can supply the new HMI application to the end user for on-site updating.
Create modern applications easier and faster
All models of the NQ HMI family come with many features for fast creation of modern looking applications. The USB ports allow easy connection and data transfer between the HMI and PC, while the serial communication ports enable connection to many popular devices for the exchange and display of data. Besides the large family of Omron PLCs, the NQ HMI can also interface with a wide range of non-Omron devices by supporting dedicated and open communication protocols. Texts can be defined in nine different languages with support for Latin, Cyrillic, and Asian characters. Furthermore, the real time clock and the graphical features, like analogue meters and bar graphs, mean that you can upgrade the functionality of machines with ordinary switches or buttons. Alarms are shown in real time and can be printed, while historical data can be displayed as a trend, or uploaded in CSV format.
