Product Overview
The Omron NB5Q-TW00B-V1 is the 5.6-inch QVGA-class HMI in the NB-series with two serial ports and no Ethernet. The 320 x 234 pixel TFT color LCD fits a tight panel cutout where a 7-inch NB7W would not, and the 128 MB internal project memory covers the typical multi-page machine program. The two serial ports (RS-232C + RS-422/485) on the bottom face let the panel talk to an Omron CP1 / CP2E / CJ2 PLC on one port and a temperature controller, inverter, or barcode scanner on the other -- useful for a small packaging or filling line where one HMI supervises multiple field devices. The USB Type-B slave is for PC project upload only.
What the V1 revision changes
The -V1 suffix is a hardware / firmware revision of the same NB5Q-TW00B SKU -- the current active catalog entry. A project built for the TW00B runs unchanged on the TW00B-V1, and the NB-Designer operation manual covers both revisions in the same document. The V1 is the recommended pick for any new build or a like-for-like spare replacement on a panel that already runs the TW00B.
Where the stripped serial-only fits
Pick the TW00B-V1 (this SKU) when the panel sits on a stand-alone machine with no factory Ethernet, and the field devices speak serial. Pick the TW01B-V1 instead when the panel needs Ethernet for SCADA polling or remote upload -- the TW01B-V1 adds Ethernet and a USB host for memory-stick recipe transfer. Pick the NB3Q-TW01B when the panel cutout is tighter and a 3.5-inch display is enough.
Before ordering
Confirm the supply is 24 VDC -- the NB-series is 24 VDC only; for AC supply, look at the older NS-series NS5-SQ10B-V2. Confirm the cutout is 172.4 x 131 mm. Confirm the field device protocol -- Host Link / FINS on RS-232C for an Omron PLC, Modbus RTU on RS-422/485 for a third-party temperature controller or inverter.

Best-Fit Applications
- Stand-alone packaging machine panel with one PLC and one temperature controller on two serial ports
- Small filling line with one PLC, one VFD, and a barcode scanner -- all on RS-232C / RS-485
- Tight-panel retrofit on a machine originally built with an NS5 / NT-series 5.7-inch HMI
- Multi-page recipe / alarm / maintenance screen for a small OEM machine
- Spare replacement for an existing NB5Q-TW00B panel on a long-running machine
Buying Checklist
- Pick NB5Q-TW00B-V1 for a 5.6-inch QVGA HMI with two serial ports + USB-B slave and no Ethernet, V1 revision.
- Pick NB5Q-TW01B-V1 instead when the panel needs Ethernet for SCADA / remote upload and a USB host for memory-stick recipe transfer.
- Pick NB3Q-TW01B when the panel cutout is tighter and a 3.5-inch display is enough.
- Pick NB7W-TW01B-V1 when the application needs a 7-inch WVGA display with Ethernet + USB host.
- Pick NB-Designer version 1.40 or later to program the NB-series (the V1 revision is supported in the same project file as the non-V1).
- Confirm the supply is 24 VDC -- the NB-series is 24 VDC only; for AC supply, look at the older NS-series NS5-SQ10B-V2.

FAQ for NB5Q-TW00B-V1
What is the difference between NB5Q-TW00B-V1 and NB5Q-TW01B-V1?
The TW00B-V1 is the stripped serial-only NB5Q -- two serial ports (RS-232C + RS-422/485) plus a USB-B slave, no Ethernet, no USB host. The TW01B-V1 adds Ethernet and a USB host (Type-A) for memory-stick recipe transfer. Both share the same 5.6-inch 320 x 234 display, 128 MB memory, beige housing, IP65 front, and 24 VDC supply. Pick the TW00B-V1 for a stand-alone serial-only panel; pick the TW01B-V1 when the panel sits on a factory Ethernet network.
What does the -V1 suffix mean on the NB5Q-TW00B-V1?
V1 is a hardware / firmware revision of the same NB5Q-TW00B SKU. The V1 is the currently-active catalog entry that replaces the older non-V1 part. A project built for the non-V1 TW00B runs unchanged on the TW00B-V1, and the NB-Designer operation manual covers both revisions. The V1 is the right pick for a new build or a like-for-like spare replacement on a panel that already runs the TW00B.
Can the NB5Q-TW00B-V1 talk to a non-Omron PLC?
Yes, via Modbus RTU on the RS-422/485 port or RS-232C port. The NB-Designer driver library covers Omron Host Link / FINS, Mitsubishi MC Protocol, Modbus RTU master / slave, and several temperature-controller / inverter / barcode-scanner drivers. The 128 MB project memory is enough for multi-vendor panels with several pages of mixed-protocol tags. For Ethernet connectivity to a non-Omron PLC, step up to the NB5Q-TW01B-V1.
What is the panel cutout for the NB5Q-TW00B-V1?
172.4 W x 131 H mm. The NB5Q is the 5.6-inch class (184 x 142 mm outer bezel). The NB3Q is the 3.5-inch class (119 x 93 mm cutout), the NB7W is the 7-inch class (192 x 138 mm cutout), and the NB10W is the 10.1-inch class (258 x 174 mm cutout). All four sizes share the NB-Designer project file, so a project moves between panel sizes without rework as long as the target panel has the features the project calls for.
