Alphamatics, JMO

Each of the alphabets represent a unique number between 0 to 9.
find them
Z E R O E S
  + O N E S
-----------
B I N A R Y
 
Answer:
 
Z = 1
B = 2
I = 0
E = 9
R = 8
Y = 6
These numbers can be arrived at on inspection right away.
 
So, 1 9 8 O 9 3
      + O N 9 3
------------------
    2 0 N A 8 6
 
O can have values of 4,5,7
4 is rules out since it leads to repetition of digits. 
if O is 5, then N = 4 and A = 0
if O is 7, then N = 6 and A = 4

So, digits are getting repeated in my solution.

1 9 8 5 9 3 
  + 5 4 9 3
------------------ 
2 0 4 0 8 6
 
 
1 9 8 7 9 3  
  + 7 6 9 3
------------------ 
2 0 6 4 8 6
 
Could some one check and suggest where I have gone wrong.
