Integrated PLC Engineering Software
Ultimate evolution of PLC engineering software

International Standard IEC 61131-3 compliant

Now an easy-to-use engineering software is no surprise.
In addition to its sophisticated usability, the engineering software GX Works2 deploys the global mainstream concepts of "grouping" and "structuring" for fundamental improvement of programming efficiency.
The world-standard engineering style begins with GX Works2.

Providing maintenance that meet your needs

1Improved verification function

Verify data of an open project against data of saved project to display the result in an easy-to-view format.
The parameters and the programs in the PLC connected to a personal computer also are verified against the data of an open project.

The verification result is saved to a CSV file to facilitate revision of design documents.

2Prevent edit error by Read and Monitor modes

Erroneous operations in monitoring and searching are eliminated by supporting the Read and Monitor modes similar to GX Developer.

Write mode/monitor (write mode)

Enter Symbol screen opens by pressing Enter key.

Read mode/monitor mode

Find screen opens by pressing Enter key.

The same key operation as GX Developer is used to switch modes.

3Dedicated monitoring for intelligent function module

While watching the ladder program, the buffer memory/XY signal of the intelligent function module is monitored in the docking window. Since the name of each buffer memory address is displayed, so there's no need to refer to the manual to see for what the buffer memory is used.

4Visible System monitor function and PLC diagnostics

Operation status of the entire programmable controller system is clearly displayed.
Each module's diagnosis and detailed information is displayed on the monitor for the entire system allowing the problem point to be confirmed quickly.

The system is diagnosed on a graphical screen which gives a feeling as if you are watching actual system and equipment.

5Rich print functions

Items to print are specified in details. Also, multiple programs are printed in a single operation.

6Save and edit labels and parameters with Microsoft® Excel®

Various program data are exported as a CSV format file.

Exporting the program data as a CSV format file has the following advantages:

Data are confirmed even on a personal computer that doesn't have GX Works2
Data are saved in the personal computer
Data are mailed to a remote location
Secondary use of data, such as documentation and graphing, is possible using Microsoft® Excel®
Collaborate with other software by handling data in CSV format
