Please give me the download link to build RAM and fix the problem. Thanks All the files and instructions are contained within CX Designer program installation. The hard part is finding a CF card that will work with this operation. Note, any CF card formatted in Windows of any version will render the CF card useless in an NS screen. Your best bet is to purchase one from Omron and never, ever, ever format it. The format needs to be FAT16. Any version of Windows can do this but it doesn't work. I've tried formatting in several different programs, devices and even an Omron PLC but it still does not work. If anyone has uncovered this mystery, please share.

Posted 2 Dec 2023 Pretty sure Linux could format it with FAT16. Or take an image of a good one to write back to a device in a crisis. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just tested an old CF card and formatted with linux. It certainly does work. Are you copying the files to the root directory on the CF card? Clear any partitions on the CF and create a new empty MBR partition table. Then format to fat16 -> ie sudo mkfs.msdos -F 16 /dev/sdb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 5 Dec 2023 In Windows I used a generic 1GB CF card. I used the Windows Disk Management utility. 1) Delete the volume 2) Create a new volume (size 64MB, FAT, Default Allocation, Quick Format) 3) Transfer Restore Files and recover the screen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 8 Dec 2023 Quote Is there any special requirement for internal CF (ROM) Card which i had changed earlier, i bought new CF card (128 MB) and just installed internal side of PT. I believe the special requirement is you never touch the internal CF card. If I get a chance today I'll see what mine contains. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its an unrecognized file system on the internal CF. If you formatted yours I think that's the end of your screen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is split into 2 partitions and Windows can't tell what filesystem they are. Perhaps one contains a bootloader, the other the OS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been unable to get version 8.95 to restore correctly on NS10-V2 screens, however it works fine on NS5. The screens lock up at "copying system files" and the indicator light either stays solid red or off. Version 8.6 is the latest version that i can get to restore correctly on these screens.

Posted 12 Dec 2023 (edited) HMI Sample Code - Forums.MrPLC.com There are several older versions here at Mr PLC. I checked downloads section at Omron's website and they only have the latest (8.95). I don't know how we could download select versions. It's probably not possible since the NS is obsolete. If you require a different version you could contact Omron tech support. They may be able to supply them without liability. I know there are some Omron guys on these forums but I haven't seen them in a while.

Posted 12 Dec 2023 I'm confused as to the problem you are having now. Are you able to format and install files to the card? Or having the NS lockup issue when installing to the screen? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any chance you have another NS screen that you can clone the CF card? Linux "dd" command could do a byte for byte copy of a working internal CF card. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
