Advanced machinery/equipment and increased
programs lead to an increased number of program
development processes. The Q series not only
provides user-friendly, software products which support
programming, monitoring, maintenance, system design,
etc. but also enhance their connections, to offer user-
friendly, integrated development and debugging
GX Developer includes Ethernet, MELSECNET/H and CC-Link
network parameter setting screens. The Ethernet and CC-Link
network settings, which previously had to be made in sequence
programs, can now be done using the parameter set-up screen,
leading to sharp program reduction and improved setting viewability.
You can set network range assignment and refresh parameters as
previously.
You can set the host IP address, TCP/IP communication timer, DNS server, connection opening processing, router-relayed communication,
etc. easily on-screen. You can also set on the network parameter screen the mail server, other-end mail address and automatic notification
function for sending and receiving E-mail.
You can set the number of connected remote stations, retry count, number
of automatically returning stations, automatic refresh setting, station
information and so on.Automatic refresh setting, which automatically
refreshes the information of remote inputs/outputs/registers for the CPU
devices, eliminates the need for the sequence program that uses the
FROM/TO instructions.

"Station information" can be set easily by clicking the
mouse.
In the "initial setting of a remote device station", the
initial setting that had been made in a sequence
program can be registered in the parameters and
executed.

MELSOFT is a generic
name for Mitsubishi
Electric co.'s integrated
Factory Automation
software products which
take active parts in every scene of design,
operation and maintenance.
The MELSOFT products include the GX
series programming tools designed to
improve the productivity of PLC design and
maintenance work and the MX series
middleware which directly links FA data to
your office to accelerate daily operations.
Using GX Explorer (project management tool), you can manage
project data from both personal computer and PLC simultaneously,
whereas before can only be managed separately, in a unified
system. Similar to using Windows
®
Explorer, with GX Explorer you
can, start GX Developer, read/write project data to the PLC and
perform PLC diagnostics, resulting in improved work efficiency.
To start GX Developer, double-click the target data.
To perform read/write to PLC, drag and drop the target data.
To make PLC or network diagnostics, right-click the target CPU.
