GX Developer vs

3 posts in this topic

Just as a matter of interest, I currently use Melsec GPP/WIN-E software but I am thinking upgrading to GX Developer. Is it worth it , what are the differences / benefits etc. Thanks, Nick

if it covers plc range you use, i would say stay with it and don't upgrade... you can download GX Developer 8.xx from www.meau.com and try it out it will work for 15 days

I used Gpp win for a few years. The most obvious difference is that GX covers more of the later cpu's But Gpp-win had a few bugs The main one, which caused me to upgrade was programming through a HMI in transparent mode to an A series PLC. It lost communication a lot of the time and often took several attempts to send the changes to the plc while online programming. It was very frustrating. But if you dont do this, I think the benifits of spending all the extra money are negligable until you need to program the latest Q cpu's
