Typical Applications
- Machine tool operator panels and CNC status displays
- Conveyor and material handling control interfaces
- Packaging line HMI stations
- Water treatment and HVAC monitoring panels
- Food & beverage processing equipment (washdown-adjacent, front IP65)
- Retrofit and upgrade of legacy NS5 installations
System Compatibility
The NS5-MQ00-V2 communicates natively with the following OMRON PLC families via RS-232C:
- OMRON CJ1 / CJ2 Series
- OMRON CS1 Series
- OMRON CP1 Series
- OMRON NJ / NX Series (via serial adapter)
- OMRON C200H / CVM1 (legacy, via protocol converter)
Third-party PLC connectivity (Mitsubishi, Siemens, Schneider) is possible via Modbus RTU or custom RS-232C drivers configured in CX-Designer.
Selection Guide
Use the table below to select the correct NS5 variant for your application:
- NS5-MQ00-V2 — Monochrome STN, RS-232C only → Cost-sensitive, no network required
- NS5-MQ01-V2 — Monochrome STN, RS-232C + Ethernet → Network monitoring required
- NS5-TQ00-V2 — Color TFT, RS-232C only → Improved operator visibility, same budget tier
- NS5-TQ01-V2 — Color TFT, RS-232C + Ethernet → Full-featured, networked color HMI
- NS8 / NS10 / NS12 Series — Larger screen (8″–12″) → Complex process visualization, multi-screen projects
Key selection criteria: screen size, color vs. monochrome, communication ports (serial / Ethernet), and CX-Designer project compatibility.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can the NS5-MQ00-V2 be replaced by the NS5-MQ01-V2?
A: Yes. The NS5-MQ01-V2 is a direct functional upgrade — same panel cutout, same RS-232C ports, plus an added Ethernet port. Existing CX-Designer projects transfer without modification.
Q: Is the NS5-MQ00-V2 compatible with Mitsubishi PLCs?
A: Not natively. A Modbus RTU driver or RS-232C protocol converter is required. Contact us for recommended converter models.
Q: What software is needed to program the NS5-MQ00-V2?
A: OMRON CX-Designer (part of the CX-One suite). Version 3.x and above support NS5-V2 series.
Q: Is the EL backlight replaceable?
A: Yes, as a service part. OMRON part number available on request. Typical EL backlight lifespan is 10,000–20,000 hours.
Q: Do you supply new or refurbished units?
A: Both. New (original packaging) and tested-good surplus units are available. Condition is clearly stated on each listing.
