GX Works2

Promoting program standardization

1Implements a seamless engineering environment

MELSOFT iQ Works is an integrated engineering software product, composing of GX Works2, GX Works3, MT Works2, GT Works3, RT ToolBox3 and FR Configurator2. By sharing information such as system designs and programming as the entire control system, the system design and programming efficiency are improved and total cost reduction is achieved.

MELSOFT Navigator

In combination with GX Works2, GX Works3, MT Works2, GT Works3, and RT ToolBox3, this software performs upstream system design and inter-software operation.
It provides such convenient functions as system configuration design, batch setting of parameters, system labeling, and batch reading.

■ Workspace management

Multiple project data (programmable controller projects, motion controller projects, GOT projects, and robot controller projects) are managed totally using a workspace.

• System configuration diagram
  The overall system is represented graphically with the following configuration diagrams:
  • "Network configuration diagram"
  • "Module configuration diagrams" showing the placement of modules
  • Field network configuration diagrams
    ("CC IE Field configurations", "CC-Link configurations", "Ethernet configurations", "AnyWireASLINK configurations")
    The diagram is easily created by dragging and dropping the modules, and various checks such as power supply capacity check are also performed.
• System label
  System labels are set in one place, reducing the number of processes and preventing setting errors.
  The set system labels are shared and used with all related projects.

2Parameter settings for individual tools are no longer required

The information set into the system configuration drawing are reflected in a batch onto GX Works2, GX Works3, MT Works2 and GT Works 3 projects.^*1
There's no need to launch each software and check the integrity.

• *1.It is required to set detailed parameters in each tool.

3Shares labels and automatically changes all related projects

With MELSOFT Navigator, labels are shared by the PLC, motion controller and GOT (HMI).
For example, if a device assignment is changed in the PLC project, the changes are automatically reflected onto the motion controller and GOT projects.
