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.

Simplified troubleshooting reduces downtime even further
MELSOFT GX Works3 incorporates various maintenance features helping to reduce downtime and keep productivity high. Various levels of maintenance are possible, from system-wide monitoring of errors and module status to monitoring at the network level; for example, detailed operations that show where programs or parameters have been changed in the CPU and the monitoring of system events, which also includes a useful historical function that can be exported as a CSV file.
Select data of interest (device or label) to visually display related data that affects changes in the selected data in a flow diagram. You can jump from the flow diagram to the corresponding part of the program, making it easy to identify the cause.




Multi-language menu, ideal for global support
The menu system can be switched between various languages, enabling different locations to work on the same project with the same programming software version. In addition, device comments within the project can be switched between various languages without having to create multiple copies of the same project to support the comments in different languages.
