Source: Omron. Last checked . Always confirm a specific part's status with the manufacturer before buying or planning a migration.
What Cancellation means for you
You can no longer order it as a normal product, and nothing new should be designed around it. If machines depend on it, you want spare stock you can rely on and a migration plan. Both start with knowing how many you run and whether each has a backup.
Before replacing an HMI
With an HMI, the editable application is at least as important as the screen itself. We would secure the source project, record the engineering-software version, PLC communications, recipes or retained data, and measure the panel cut-out.
Conversion utilities can speed up a migration, but older drivers, scripts, alarms and fonts do not always transfer cleanly. A spare display only protects production if the correct application can be restored to it.

Common questions about the NB5Q-TW01B
Is the Omron NB5Q-TW01B discontinued?
The NB5Q-TW01B has been cancelled (since March 2025): no longer sold as a current product, though spares may remain available for a period.
Can I still buy a NB5Q-TW01B?
Not as a normal new product. Remaining distributor stock or designated spares may still be available. Buy any you need now.
How do I back up a NB5Q-TW01B?
It is programmed with NB Designer. The exact software version and cable depend on the unit's firmware. ECS records both for every unit it captures, alongside a verified backup.
With a backup, a failed unit is hours. Without one, it is days.
A Capture audit finds every NB5Q-TW01B on your site, takes a backup of each one it can reach, and records the software version and cable needed to restore it. When a discontinued unit fails and a replacement turns up, the program is ready to load.
- Every device located, photographed and lifecycle-checked
- Backups taken on the day, with software version and cable recorded
- Findings report, plus a populated Command Centre
- No production downtime
