Function blocks allow sections of programs to be represented
as a single function block.
¡Complex ladder programs can be made easier to read,
simplifying debugging and troubleshooting on the shop floor.
¡Program code can easily be reused by cutting and pasting
function blocks.
¡Use ladder diagram or structured text to create function block
code.

Structured text allows the Q Series to offer a new dimension in
automation programming. ST breaks with the traditional
methods of sequence programming by using a format similar to
conventional computer programming languages. This offers the
benefit of giving programmers a tool to describe processes that
are not readily described using other languages. Additionally, ST
offers newer programmers who are not familiar with automation
in general an immediate opportunity to become productive
based on their existing experience.
Structured Text (ST)
Q Series Process Control Function Block programs can be
created by PX Developer. This allows easy creation and editing
of loop control programs simply by dragging and dropping the
required function blocks and connecting them together in the
desired way. Loop parameters and other essential process
properties can be easily configured. Process control programs
can share data with sequence control program if label
programming is used.

GX Developer fully supports the remote maintenance of distant
installations, whether via dial-up access or through the Internet
to systems on the other side of the world. Once connected to a
system, and security requirements are met, this type of
connection allows full access to all aspects of the Q Series in
the same way as a local connection via a programming cable.
Remote Programming
∗GX Developer Ver. 7.20W or higher must be installed in the same personal computer
to run PX Developer.
