PLC engineering software (MELSEC) GX Works3
Reducing development costs through intuitive engineering
The engineering software is sometimes considered a fundamental part of the control system in addition to the hardware components. The core of the system, it includes various steps of the product life cycle, from the design stage all the way to commissioning and maintenance of the control system. Today, intuitive, easy-to-use software suites are expected as a standard for modern manufacturing needs. GX Works3 is the latest generation of programming and maintenance software offered by Mitsubishi Electric specifically designed for the MELSEC iQ-R and MELSEC iQ-F Series control system. It includes many new features and technologies to ensure a trouble-free engineering environment solution.
Easy version management
Being able to visually see and manage different versions of the same project can help to reduce debugging processes. Even with a number of engineers are working on the same project, changes made are easily recognized directly from the program or as an automatically generated verification results list. This feature is available for locally stored projects on the computer, and between the program stored in the programmable controller CPU.
Hardware simulation
GX Works3 features an integrated simulator which helps to visualize the operation of the program during the debugging process. Motion control CPU hardware can be simulated as well.
