Programming Software
GX Converter (SWMD5C-CNVW-E)
MELSEC Data conversion software
With this data conversion software package, comments
created in CSV format (Text data/Excel data (CSV
format data) compatible), etc., can be used. By using
this data conversion software package, the command
lists from the “read/write of other formats” menu can
be used for device comment data. Furthermore, the GX
Developer command lists and device comments can be
converted and used in the list created by the user.
MX Links (SWMD5C-CSKP-E)
Basic communication support tool
Communication with the PLC CPU via a variety of connection methods is supported with the MX Links software tool. PLC
data can be collected via RS-232C, RS-422, Ethernet, MELSECNET/10 or CC-Link and used within a personal computer by
other applications (e.g. Visual Basic V4.0/5.0/6.0, Visual C++ V4.2/5.0/6.0). A special library of commands, known as the
MELSEC data link library, are available to allow the following functions:
Function name Function
mdOpen Initialize and open the selected communication line channel
mdClose Close the selected communication line channel
mdSend Write the designed No. of bytes to the head of the device in a batch
mdReceive Read the designated No. of bytes from the head of the device in a batch
mdRandR Read the randomly designed device
mdRandW Write the randomly designed device
mdDevSet Set (turn ON) the designated device
mdDevRst Reset (turn OFF) the designed device
mdInit Refresh the PLC information when the PLC parameters, etc., have been changed
mdControl Carry out remote RUN/STOP/PAUSE of the designated PLC CPU
mdTypeRead Read the designated PLC CPU type
MX Monitor (SWMD5C-XMOP-E)
Monitoring tool
Visual Basic support is further enhanced with the MX
Monitor monitoring tool. Acting as a custom tool within
Visual Basic, (V4.0/5.0/6.0) it is easy to create monitoring
screens that will reflect changes of status and data within
the connected PLC. Functions such as figure display, value
display, level display and trend graph are provided among
23 types of custom controls. A graphical monitoring
application can be created just by pasting the MX Monitor
controls into a VB form and setting the properties.
MX Chart (SWMD5C-OLEX-E)
Excel communication support tool
The MX Chart software tool allows PLC data and Microsoft
Excel 95 Ver. 7 or Excel 97 data to be exchanged with no
extra PLC programming required. The functions of this
software tool are accessed as Excel macros. These macros
can be invoked to allow Excel to read from or write to the
PLC CPU.
