  1. No GX Developer in iQ Works?

    Hi, I have a licensed version of Melsoft IQ Works. It has GX Works3, GX Works2, GT Developer (1000), GT Developer (2000), plus a whole bunch of other software packages that I have never used but it does NOT have GX Developer. The site I work at has a couple of old A-Series PLCs that I cannot open with GX Works2 or GX Works 3. These files have been successfully opened in GX Developer on another computer, but I do not have it on my computer.  Does any know, does IQ Works not come with GX Developer? How do I get GX Developer? Does it have to be purchased separately?   Any help is much appreciated. Kind regards, Olly  
  2. Hello, I have a Q02CPU and QJ71E71-100 terminal and want to do a simple test of the Fernhill SCADA system. I have successfully connected the Fernhill software project to my PLC and gotten a word variable from the PLC be represented by a tag in the Fernhill SCADA system. However, I have issues doing the same for my bit variables. In Fernhill they should be internal relays but I get error 4031h in Fernhill: Melsec Error 4031h - The specified device number is outside the device range. I do not understand what is wrong. My PLC variables are each a global variable, internal relay in other words. In Fernhill I define each tag as an internal relay. The "device" from my simplified understanding is the identity of the variable in the PLC. It matches the PLC and Fernhill as shown in the pictures provided. Thanks in advance! PS. I don't get the error if I define the tags as Data Registers instead like I did for the analog variable. But 1) That is not what they are and 2) The tags don't change when the PLC variable is modified. Just a bit suspicious that it stops complaining when it is clearly incorrect...

  4. QD77MS4

    Hi My system : plc Q03ud , simple motion module : QD77MS4 , software : Gx works2 , Application : rotary table and unit degree I send position and speed from HMI ( got 2000 ) , my problem is that when i want send 90 degree for position ( dmov d0 u0\g2006 ) , i have to enter the 9000000 from hmi . and for speed i have similar problem Position hmi ( 9000000 ) ===>> motor rotate 90 degree  Speed hmi (100000) ==>> motor rotate with 100 degree per min
  5. Hello, In GX Works2, what do asterisks before function block input and output variable names mean? Thanks,    
  6. Hello, I am trying to create a project in GX Works 3 with a R02 CPU, but in the "New" Tab "Change Module" Tab this CPU doesn't show. However, if i gow to Module Configuration i can select and drag the R02 CPU, but i can't define it as the CPU of the system. Another problem i have is that i need to migrate a A1SH CPU project to an R02 CPU project. From my understanding the software tool for A1SH is GX Developer and for R02 CPU is GX Works 3. Is there a way to convert the project or i need to do a new one and adapt it? Thank you.  
  7. Hello there, This is my first time here on this forum and also my first time working with this software and PLC. I am working off-line (since my PLC did not arrive yet) on GX Works 2, in a structured project type, with LCPU series and L02 type. the problem is that when trying to use any of the special registers (m8000, r23500, etc...) on my code after compile the error F1028 pops-up, on the other hand the same code with special register will work just fine in a simple project type without labels and I dont know how to make it work on my structured project with labels.
  8. Hi all  I need to view a project in instruction list format on Mitsubishi GX Works 2. On GX developer the shortcut is Alt + F1 or View tab then press instruction list.   Thanks 
  9. hello guys, I´ve got this wierd error (wtf1), if i switch it from NC to NO contact it goes through rebuild without problem (wtf2), relevant part of SDT on picture wtf3... I´ve GX works ver: 1.612N Anyone ever encountered this? What was your solution?   thanks  
  10. Hello. I start learn GXW3  and i have problem with simulation. I trying to connect GT Simulator with GX simulator 3, but it's doesn't work. GT Simulator 3 easy connecting with GX Simulator and GX Simulator 2 and it's working. So i can't say that problem in GT Simulator 3, but GX Simulator 3 works too, when i starting it. All software configurated without any errors (IQW,GTW3,GXW3). I using GX Works3 1.026C, GT Designer3 1.151H, IQ works (melsoft navigator) 2.12N.   All time when trying to connect, popups this msg. Settings of GTS3 Note from HELP. Does someone know how fix this problem?  
  11. HydMech control issues

    I have a HydMech H14A Automatic bandsaw that I am currently experiencing an odd issue with. When in Auto the saw operates fine, but when in manual the rear vise open function is not working. I have a signal from HMI to the input at the PLC, but no signal coming from the corresponding output. The status light for the output (Y012) never lights up when in manual, but, again, the saw functions flawlessly in Auto. Have changed HMI, PLC, ribbon cables for input/outputs and comm cable. When viewing program to asses issue, i have to unplug the comm cable in order to plug in my computer, meaning that even though I can see logic, I cannot see it during operation. 2 things. 1- on the off chance that someone has experienced  this same problem, what did you find? 2- is there a way to view program while it is actively running code? Hardware= Mitsubishi Melsec FX3UC-32MT/DSS, Software= MELSOFT series GX Works2
  12. Structred Labels for Designer?

    Hello! It's my firt time with a Mitsubishi PLC/HMI. And while I at least think I know what I'm doing there (for now) wanted to ask for something "quality of life". It seems, that I can't import my Global Labels from GX Works2 to Designer3 if they are structred! (meaning, you have to go to "Detailed Settings" to set the Device). Of course I could it manually; but that would be quite some work... is there a better way to get the "device connection" in my HMI Labels? Or other ideas? Would love to hear them! greetings! PS: Don't know if important: PLC: MELSEC Q00UJ, HMI: MELSEC GS2107-WTBD-N
  13. PID Autotune ST

  14. unit of time in D8284

    Hello PLCmaniaccccssss, What is the unit of time in 'average time for the channel -1' (D8284) while programming for analog inputs? I have moved k10 to D8284 in my program in gxworks 2, does that mean the time average will be taken for 1Sec or 10msec or any other time unit??? I require this to eliminate the flickering of the input from the load cell transmitter. Thanks and God bless!!!
  15. I'm attempting to look at an offline PLC program to see device values (Ts, Ds, Ms). Is this even possible? Are device values saved when saving a program online? Program is for a Mitsubishi FX3U. Using GX Works2 v1.601B. Win10-Pro OS on the computer. I've an AB background (several decades), but only a couple weeks with Mitsu. Unfortunately, the person who originally wrote and maintained these programs isn't available. This is an easy process with AB, but I just hit walls in the Mitsu IDE. Can anybody help?
  16. GX Works 3 (R04CPU) Device Memory

    Hello,  GX Works 3 / R04CPU. I'm using the Device Memory so that I can link the HMI to my PLC. I've set aside some memory, in this case D3260, to be used as a Real (32 bits data, Float single precision) to be set by the HMI (operator adjustable setting) and read from the PLC. I thought I'd move D3260 into a local label for readability/testing purposes, and it says I cannot move an Int into a Real - which is fair enough, but, how/where do I set D3260 as a real? Do I use some Functions to take D3260 + D3261 and make it to a real, or define the data area as a real somewhere...   Dumb question I know, I'm new to GX Works 3. Thanks very muchly    
  17. I am trying to online edit a program in a MELSEC QCPU, using GX Works2, but I keep getting this error "A file which does not exist in the PLC was specified" <ES:010a4022> Few weeks ago I had just online edited the same program in the same PLC with the same steps with no problem. There had been no changes to the PLC after that. Just all a sudden when I try to edit yesterday I get this error. Not an expert in Mitsubishi, just started learning the basics. Connection to PLC is by USB cable. Steps I followed to connect to PLC:    -Online > Read from PLC    -Select PLC Series: QCPU (Q mode)    -Select PLC side I/F Serial Setting: Serial USB    -Select all target program to Read, then Execute I am editing the file that I had just read from PLC Steps I followed to online edit:    -Online > Monitor > Monitor (Write mode)    -Execute the function below when mode is changed: Checked all    -Edit the program (basically just deleted one -||- contact and drew back the line)    -Compile > Online Program Change Then Bam! error get! "A file which does not exist in the PLC was specified" <ES:010a4022> I had tried Verify with PLC, but all results match. Is there something I am missing? Help much appreciated!
  18. Hello, everyone I have to query a SICK distance sensor from an L26CPU via the onboard Ethernet interface. I have created a simple protocol which I start with the function block SP_ECPRTCL. Unfortunately it takes at least 25ms until the next telegram is started. The sensor responds within approx. 1.5ms. Does anyone know whether that works faster or is that a limitation when using the predefined protocols? Sensor manual:  OD5000, 8021391 (sick.com)  (Chapter 7.4) I am grateful for all the hints. Thanks and regards Dave SICK_Protocol.tpc Messaufbau_vTest.gxw
  19. Hello, I am started working on Gx Works 3 recently, actually want to know if I can access local labels from other program body or can call them to other program body?
  20. Unconverted Ladder Code?

    Hi All, Please see attached screenshot: Whenever I want to save the ladder program or start simulation, this window pops-up. If I press 'yes' I loose the whole work. I tried to open existing program and modify it, but it did the same. When I clicked 'yes' I lost all modification and just the original program remained. (I made the program in the morning, opened and saved many times but it started popping this window later.) I work with FXCPU series, FX3U/FX3UC type, simple project in ladder. This worked well but now is not anymore. I use Melsoft GX Simulator! Can anyone advise why this is happening? It is very annoying! It is pointless to work on anything now! Many thanks
  21. Now I working on omron CP1H PLC, i'm receiving ASCII number from another PLC which is something like this  "#3031 #3030 #3030 #3030" which mean 01000000. How to convert the ascii number to real number or bcd without separate them? I know how to convert them which is using HEX but its turn out the number will separate into this 0100  and 0000.
  22. I believe that conversion is possible, but have no idea how?

  24. GX Works ARRAY usage

    Hi ALL! Do not compile project on GX Works: Type mismatch? But type is match!!! Equivalent project on Delta ISPSoft compile OK: What wrong?
  25. Hello everybody, i have some uncertainties going through my head. i am fairly new in PLC word, graduated last year, last 12 month i did project on Siemens PLCs, but now i have to expand my view with Mitsubishi. 1. i am working on project with several conveyors. for each conveyor type i have FB fairly similar to my FB in siemens. For all conveyor i am using same sdt containing 32 bits. So a have array[0..20]  of said sdt. But in fb i was not able to copy item from array, through input var containing index of that item to vocal variable, which i wanted to write back to the array at the end of fb. I tried different approach ->  using item from array *** input/output.  When monitoring item from array i can see, that variables i change in got2000 panel are in fact changing. But when i monitor fb itself, those same variables are not changing. i reworked this fb several times, for example when i found out that FB variables FB FXcpu cannot be set as retain so i would like to use it and i see no other way than make this fb work. :D 2. Is there possibility to us FB in another FB? I remember that i read some restriction about this, but now, i cannot find it. Thank you everybody for your responses
