Introduction

GX Developer is a programming software for Mitsubishi PLC, suitable for a full range of programmable controllers such as Q, QnU, QS, QnA, AnS, AnA, FX, etc. Support programming languages such as ladder diagram, instruction table, SFC, ST, FB, Label, etc.

GX Developer network parameter settings allow for online program changes, monitoring, and debugging, with the ability to read and write PLC programs remotely.

GX Developer Features

1. GX Developer can create Q-series, QnA series, A-series (including motion control (SCPU)), FX series data, and convert them into GPPQ and GPPA format documents. In addition, when selecting the FX series, it can also be converted into documents in FXGP (DOS) and FXGP (WIN) formats. 2. Utilizing the advantages of Windows, the operability can be greatly improved by copying, pasting, and effectively utilizing explanatory data made from Excel, Word, etc.

3. Standardization of procedures

    (1) If label programming is used to create a programmable controller program, it is not necessary to know the number of software components and can be made into a standard program according to the label. Programs made with label programming can be used as actual programs based on assembly.

    (2) Function Block (hereinafter referred to as FB) FB is a function developed to improve the efficiency of sequential program development. Partitioning the sequential program circuit blocks that are repeatedly used during the development of sequential programs makes the development of sequential programs easier. In addition, after being piecemeal, it can prevent sequence input errors when applied to other sequential programs.

    (3) Macros simply add a name (macro definition name) to any circuit mode and log in (macro login) to the document. Then, by entering a simple command, the logged in circuit mode can be read out, and changing software components can be flexibly utilized.

4. It is possible to easily set up links with other sites, even when the connection object is specified graphically and constructed into a complex system.

5. Able to connect to programmable controller CPU using various methods

    (1) Via serial communication port

    (2) Via USB

    (3) Via MELSECNET/10 (H) computer board

    (4) Via MELSECNET (II) computer board

    (5) Via CC Link computer board

    (6) Plug in via Ethernet computer board

    (7) Via CPU computer board

    (8) Via AF computer board


6. Rich debugging functions

    (1) Due to the use of ladder diagram logic testing function, debugging tasks can be carried out more easily. (a) There is no need to connect to a programmable controller again. (b) There is no need to create a sequential program for debugging.

    (2) In the help, there are instructions for CPU errors, special relays/special registers, so it provides great convenience for situations where errors occur online or when you want to know the content of special relays/special registers during program production..

    (3) When an error occurs during data production, the reason or message will be displayed, so the time for data production can be significantly reduced.
