In one sentence

NA HMI is Omron's NA series of touch operator panels for the Sysmac platform, configured in Sysmac Studio.

Example

A machine with an Omron NJ controller uses a 12-inch NA panel whose screens are developed in the same Sysmac Studio project as the control program.

How it applies

Engineering: Integration with the controller in one engineering environment reduces tag mapping work. Check supported controllers, screen sizes and communication options for the project.
Maintenance: Document the panel model, firmware and project version. When migrating from older Omron panels such as the NS series, the project usually needs conversion or redesign.
Documentation: Refer to Omron's manuals for panel hardware and settings, and document the machine-specific screens in the machine's operating manual using the delivered project's texts.
Operation: Operator functions depend on the delivered project, not on the panel family. Describe screens from the project actually shipped with the machine.

Keep in mind: Product names and features change. Check model designations, software versions and compatibility against Omron's current documentation before publishing.
