With compliance to Windows 95, Windows 98,Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000Professional and Windows XP programs can be easilydesigned and debugged using Windows user-friendlyoperability.

Multiple programs and comments, etc., can be editedand monitored simultaneously. Program copy, paste and undo operations can be carriedout with a mouse. Copying circuit blocks and commandsis available between programs. Data can be input in list format on the ladder displayscreen. (Data is automatically converted into a circuit.)

Data can be easily registered from ladder screen withdrag & drop, and debugging is available with simpleoperation such as device tests using Shift + double-clickon the ladder.

As editing and debugging can be carried out with thesame operations for the MELSEC-Q, QnA, A and FXSeries, there is no need to learn specified operations foreach series.

Programs can be converted and re-used among the Q,QnA and A Series. Programs can also be converted andre-used between the A and FX Series.

As the program can be edited with ladder diagram, listsor SFC in each series, designs are suitable for specificapplication.

Comments can be set for each device, to improve theprogram readability.

Both program and parameters created using GXDeveloper and PX Developer can be automaticallytransferred to the standby system. This ensures that theprogram does not have to be downloaded twice,therefore reducing total setup and design time.

The PLC functionality built-in inside the following motioncontroller, CNC and inverter products can beprogrammed with GX Developer.

Common programs can be translated as parts with function blocks. Large-scale programming can be structured easily.

Programs can be reused to eliminate coding mistakes.

Standard programs are displayed as blocks, making theprogram easy-to-view, and thereby improving the editingand debugging efficiency.

Function block can work with ladder diagram and ST.(Target CPU: Q Series and QnA Series)

The usage of devices or labels is listed. Used devices can be easily checked and distinguishedbetween unused devised.

Processes that are difficult to represent with ladders canbe programmed easily using structured text (ST).Design efficiency can be improved by representingcontrol processes with ladders, also operationprocesses, data processes and communicationprocesses with ST.

ST programming is equivalent to high level language.

The same programming style is applicable for PLC.Design efficency using parts can be improved asfunction blocks created with ladders or ST can be utilizedby ST. (Target CPU: Q Series)

When used in combination with GX Simulator, breakpoints can be set in the ST program enabling one-lineexecution of programs. This results in efficientdebugging of ST programs.

GX Simulator Ver. 6.16 or higher is required.

Programs can be standardized by programming with labels.Programs can be created without having to consider theactual device.Programs for other systems can be used easily just bychanging the device assignment to match the deviceconfiguration.Devices are automatically assigned to labels usedinternally, so there is no need to consider the devices.(Target CPU: Q Series and QnA Series)

FB property batchsubstitution ofcurrent values

Simple to complicated loop control with the following FBand function line up.

(1) FBs corresponding to process control instructions inprocess CPU

(2) FBs that combine process control instructions toprovide easier programming.

(3) FBs for accessing analog modules and input/outputmodules

IEC61131-3 compliance allows FBD programs to be putin hierarchal format and reused (user's original FB canbe created). This makes it easier to standardize andreuse programs.

By using logical names (label names), data exchange isavailable between the programs created in FBD andladder. This allows the constants of loop control tags andSV values to be changed, etc., easily from the ladderprogram.

Various screens (faceplate, tuning panel, alarm, list ofevents) for tuning and monitoring the created controlloops are provided as standard. Tuning and monitoringcan be started right after creating the program.

Both program and parameters created using GXDeveloper and PX Developer can be automaticallytransferred to the standby system. This ensures that theprogram does not have to be downloaded twice,therefore reducing total setup and design time.

FB property current values in the PLC CPU can be readand substituted in batch as initial values in the project,thereby preventing individual FB property values frombeing overlooked. This feature saves backup works.(Previously, FB property current values had to besubstituted individually for each FB part in order to usethem as initial values in the project.)

This function allows a project to be restored on any personalcomputer even if the project data is not saved at thepersonal computer. (The symbolic data required to restorethe project must first be downloaded to the PLC CPU.)

The following new features have been added to theexisting monitor function in order to simplify operationssuch as debugging, etc.

(1) Current value monitor / editing from FB property window

(2) Input variable / output variable current value display at FB part

The Q/QnA/A/FX Series can be debuggedwith one package.

As the operation is carried out as a virtualPLC, the ladder can be easily executed atthe site. (There is no need to prepare testdevices.)

Sufficient debugging can be carried outwithout preparing the actual machine.

The operation of user applications usingMELSOFT middleware (MX Component,MX Sheet) can be easily confirmed withoutusing the actual machine.

This function now provides simulation of multiple PLCdevices connected over a network. Consequently, it isnow easier for GX Simulator to debug applications thataccess multiple PLCs via a network.Register up to 1024 PLCs.

The operation of user application based on device valueswhich change according to the pattern can be checked withoutcreating a debugging program that changes the device values.The reading operations from host stations and otherstation devices can be confirmed without changing theuser application.

Create and debug screens with just one personal computer!GT Simulator2 Version2

How about using the personal computer as a GOTGT SoftGOT2

GT Simulator2 is included in GT Works2.

Installation

The GOT, PLC, and motion controller that are requiredto create the screens, to confirm the operation and tomake revisions are no longer required. GT Simulator2allows debugging screen data without connecting todevices in a factory.

GX Simulator is linked with the simulation sequenceprogram on simulation, but the GOT can also besimulated without a sequence program. This allowseffective use even when connecting to a controller otherthan a MELSEC controller.

Highly accurate debugging is available by connecting theRS-232C port of the personal computer with the actualPLC CPU. This allows GT Simulator2 to display data ofspecial modules or PLCs in the network as same as theactual GOT.

Copying and pasting screen images into a document andmanuals can be done easily in a short time. Usedtogether with GX Developer, GX Simulator, and GTsimulator device monitor, device values can be forciblychanged to obtain the required screen image.

The alarm history data is stored in the personalcomputers hard disk.

The status monitor function, time action function andrecipe function can be simulated.

Design costs are reduced by sharing monitor data created on GT Designer2 for GOT with GT soft GOT2.

A monitoring operation screen for the personal computer can be created more easily and cheaper than the monitoringsoftware such as SCADA or Visual Basic .
