Compared with GX Works2, GX Works3 has improved functions and operability and is easier to use.
GX WORKS3 is an engineering tool for setting, programming, debugging and maintenance of programmable controllers led by MELSEC iQ-R series and MELSEC iQ-F series. However, many places still use the old model PLC in large quantities, so the two kinds of programming software will coexist for a period of time. With the continuous upgrading of Mitsubishi PLC products, many old models have been eliminated, so programming monitoring will be based on GX Works2 in the future. And does not support statement list programming. GX Works2 supports the latest FX3U programming, and does not support the programming of PLCs below FX0N and A series PLCs. Compared with the traditional GX Developer software, GX WORKS2 has improved functions and operating performance, making it easier to use. GX WORKS2 comes with its own simulation software, which is suitable for Q, QnU, L, FX and other series of programmable controllers, and is compatible with GX Developer software. It has the function of system label and can realize the data sharing of PLC data, HMI and motion controller.
It can realize the functions of program editing, parameter setting, network setting, program monitoring, debugging and online modification, intelligent function module setting, etc. It has two programming methods, simple engineering and structured engineering, and supports programming languages such as ladder diagram, SFC, ST and structured ladder diagram. GX WORKS2 is a new generation of Mitsubishi PLC software. GX Developer only has programming function, if you want to simulate, you need to install GX Simulator software. But using FXGP/WIN-C cannot read or store GX files.
Using this software, you can read FXGP/WIN-C format files, and you can also store the program as FXGP format files, which fully realizes the compatibility of FXGP/WIN-C.GX Developer is the old version of Mitsubishi PLC programming software, which can perform ladder diagram, instruction list, and SFC programming of FX series, Q/QnA series, A series, and motion control CPUs.
