PLC - FX5U Software - GX Worx 3 (latest ver) I'm currently working on a program where I use a lot of advanced calculations supplied by the customer. He would like to protect his calculations in the software, hence the following question. Is it possible to crack the password if i protect the program blocks ? Kind of stupid question since most things are possible, what I'm really after is: How safe is it, can it be cracked easily ?

I found the Deif415 (15") panel easy to use and it comes with Windows or Linux installed. We use the Linux version of the panel. Up to five users can be connected at the same time with VNC, no license needed. Three ethernet ports. The Deif panel is a branded Exor panel. We decided to buy from Deif since they are easy to do business with and gives good support. It's not easy to describe the advantages over the GOT, but after a while you'll find the GOT a bit "old and square". Our largest customer used a 6,5" panel earlier, but has now realized that the HMI is the face of the machine, and a beautiful face easily opens locked doors. He won't accept anything smaller than 15" now. Have a look at Exor or Deif 

I have the same E-Designer version as you and it runs on a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit machine. Generally is everything working as intended, but sometimes can't I open the alarms window in the project. A reboot is the cure for that most times. Also a strange behavior of the cursor as you describe it, but only when I try to edit a previously defined alarm. We tried some Beijer iX and x2 panels and also the Mitsubishi GOT series instead of the E-1000 series. But finally did we find a panel we liked, it is a Deif 400 series, it's a branded Exor operator panel.

It seems to be a product for the market in India. What software do you use to program it ? Does it support structured text ?

Take a look at the WTOB instruction, it's quite handy but then you need to convert your integer to word format

@Ron_S I think you mean the old CAB-5, but that was used for the E100 series. The easiest cable to use is the Ethernet cable for the E1000 series. It must be a crossed cable if it's a direct connection between the pc and panel.

What are you using to enable the TO function ? Is your code similar to this ? -| M8002 |---------------------------------------[TO K0 K0 H0 K1]- -| M8000 |---------------------------------------[TO K0 K1 D70 K4]-

"Word_1 := Word_2 / 16#0A;" works fine for me when deviding Word_2 by 10 (16#0A)

Perhaps a stupid question, but do you have 24VDC supplied to your FX2N-4AD ?

Contact your Mitsubishi dealer, they should have a converting software they use. You have to send them your E1000 project and you receive it converted to GOT format. Just be aware that you need to correct some things the converter can't handle. Good luck

I'm running GX IEC Dev on my computer without any problem at all. But I had a similar situation what you describe with another programming software. That was a Windows update giving me problem. Just uninstall the Windows upgrade and it worked again. I'm running W7 on my laptop and had some issues lately with some programs due to Windows. Latest version of GX Works 3 won't open any project on my laptop, don't know why at the moment but the support is notified.

If it's PLC to PLC, fixed buffer communication is easy to setup and use.
