There doesn't seem to be anywhere I can assign a label. Unless I am over looking it. 

Gents I realize this is probably a most basic question. I have 2 analog inputs on a FX3G CPU I wish to utilize with 4-20mA inputs, where do I see these values in the PLC? I'm a Siemens/Rockwell bloke normally so Mitsubishi Is entirely new to me. Software being used is GX works 2.

The FX3GE is a CPU I'm currently working with. I agree on the instructions not being the best. From what I can tell, the CPU comes with 2 AI built in, I seem to remember reading that this CPU will only accept 4 AI inputs. Don't hold me to that, I've been thrown very much in the deep end this week with Mitsubishi. I'm sure some of the more knowledgeable members on here will correct me.

Compared to Siemens and Bradley, Mitsubishi doesn't seem very intuitive. I suppose it's what you get used to.

Ok, found the tiny part in the manual D8280 is channel 1, D8281 is channel 2. When M8280 is ON = Current input OFF = Voltage input When M8281 is ON = Current input OFF = Voltage input

I've created a project for the above HMI in GT designer 3, it's created a .gt32 file. This file is not recognized by the Melsoft Navigator program, is there something I need to download to get it to be recognized? I ask because I'm not sure how to set up comms between the HMI and the current PLC I'm using (FX3GE). I'm using GX works 2 to program the PLC. Is there a way of setting comms between the HMI thorough GT designer and GX works without using melsoft navigator?

Problem solved, completely uninstalled GT Developer, then ran the GS installer.exe. I can now choose that HMI as an option. Thanks for the help.

First post on here, I have done some searching and can't find an answer to my problem. I'm trying to start a project in GT Works 3 V1.19, with a 7" HMI (Part No GS2107-WTBD), there is no option to use this HMI in the software. I originally assumed I was using outdated software, after visiting 'my mitsubishi' i found I am using the most current version. So my next line of thought was, that because this is a fairly new released HMI that I must just have to download a GSD file, after searching the Mitsubishi download section, I couldn't find anything there either. Am I missing something obvious?

Hi Gambit, I found the GS installer.exe. It ran, and states: "GS series has become available for GT Designer 3 (GOT 2000) and for the data transfer. I then open GT Designer, I still can't choose a GS series HMI from the drop down menu.
