PLC engineering software (MELSEC) MELSOFT 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. MELSOFT GX Works3 is the latest generation of programming and maintenance software offered by Mitsubishi Electric specifically designed for the MELSEC MX Controller, MELSEC iQ-R and MELSEC iQ-F Series control systems. It includes many new features and technologies to ensure a trouble-free engineering environment solution.

System design with a convenient parts library
Most projects start from system design, so having a software application that caters to this initial stage is important. MELSOFT GX Works3 incorporates a system design feature that enables system components to be assembled directly in the programming software. It includes a parts library consisting of MELSEC iQ-R Series modules that can be used to simplify system creation.
Register module parameters on the fly
Another useful feature is the ability to register parameters automatically. Simply double-click on the desired module and the corresponding parameters will be registered in the project. A window with an easy-to-use parameter settings screen opens, enabling module parameters to be modified as needed.
Integrated motion setup tool
MELSOFT GX Works3 is equipped with a special motion setup tool that makes it easy to change simple motion module settings such as module parameters, positioning data and servo parameters. Also, debugging is simplified using the fine-tuning cam data generation feature.
