  1. USER DEFINED DATA TYPE IN GXWORKS2

    IN GX Works2 how to use one UDT (User-Defined Data Type) to be directly nested inside another UDT. See Images Attached. It is Possible to do in Siemens, Rockwell and Omron but why not in Mitsubishi
  2. Hello, I'm trying to use Mitsubishi GX Works 3 version 1 for the first time and get a 'memory is insufficient' error window when I try to open/start a new project or if I try to open a PLC project a co-worker made. I am using Windows 10/64-bit, company we purchased the software from says they are using it on windows 10 without issue. I get the error with no other programs running, have 6 GB RAM, and have 90% hard drive space available. I have monitored Task Manager while opening a file, RAM usage seems fine, and have tried opening with "Run as storminess".  I have tried uninstalling the program using the window "uninstall or change a program" - is the a different way to uninstall this program that will wipe it more completely? The install CD has Disk1, Disk2, Disk3(DocFX) sub folder , Support folders - I ran the .exe file from all 3. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am able to open an HMI project in GT works 3 without issue. I attached a screen shot of the error. Thanks so much!!

  5. 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  
  6. 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...
  7. Hi all, I would like to know how to communicate scale indicator device mettler Toledo ind 320 using  module QJ71C24N-R4 by predefined protocal   I also tired to communicate in CH1 with the G.INPUT instruction to communicate when the device in MT continue mode it does communicate but I dont know how to convert value Now by trying modbus communication predefined protocal works fine but i cannot read data the is no SD/RD transmission happening  Can anyone help me with this  Thank you serial monitor.gxw serial monitor.gxw
  8. 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.  
  9. 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 
  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?

  12. 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!!!
  13. 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    
  14. 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?
  15. 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
  16. I believe that conversion is possible, but have no idea how?

  18. 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?
  19. 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    
  20. Hi all  I need help with communication between Mitsubishi L06CPU-P with Siemens S7-1500 by Modbus TCP. It's necessary to send data from L06CPU to S7-1500, but I don't know anything about mitsubishi and gx works2.  Picked up some pics how I did it, but I didn't verified how it works. Can anybody help me with this? https://ibb.co/8KDmg5x https://ibb.co/Jm8shCx   edited: I also found LQnUDEModbusTCP_GW2_with_FC_V120 library, but how it works I dont know
  21. Hi All, Have recently embarked on a project that has required me to change over to GX Works 3 in order to link an IQ-R120PCPU to a Citect 2018 SCADA package . In days gone by under IEC Developer and GX Works 2 it was quite easy to establish communications between the programming package running in simulation mode and a running Citect system using the MXCOMP driver via MX Components to perform offline testing. Can't seem to find a way to get it to work under GX Works 3 though, has anyone tried a similar setup Simulated logic in GX Works 3 is running fine and can modify the IO from inside MX Components "PLC Monitor Utility" program so there is no issues there, just cant get Citect to communicate. MX Component comm's has also been proven reading/writing variable to an excel sheet with GX Works 3 in simulation mode also. Attached are the files for getting GX Works 2 up and communicating to Citect 2018 via the same method i am trying to get working in GX Works 3 in case anyone ever needs to use that method. Any help would be appreciated.     GXWORKS 2 & CITECT 2018.zip
  22. Dear all, I am trying to convert project from GX Works2 ( FX3U) to new GX Works3 (FX5U). Problem is that I am using disabled Compile conditions2 in GX Works2. I have not found this option in GX Works3. Problem is when I convert projects soo program behave totally different.... Is there any solution for this????   BR Jan
  23. Password for GX3 Files

    Hello We use to protect our files from GT Designer3 with a username and password. So, I can only open the project if I know the user and password. Very handy. I found that function not in GX Works 3. The field "User management" in "project" menu is disabled (grey). So, I surely miss something.  Can somebody help? The manual only tells about Block and CPU security.  Thanks!  
  24. GT Designer 3: Label import error

    Hello. When trying to import the labels from GX3, i keep getting an error saying the project cannot be opened. Has anyone encountered this error? Cheers
  25. Hi Guys   I am trying to change a profibus module on a Q02CPU from a QJ71PB92D to a QJ71PB92V, but when I try to download I keep getting the error Flash ROM writing could not execute rightly.   Now I can download and upload code thus I think the Cable and PLC power OFF is a null. How would I do this? I am using GX Works 2, as I do not have GX Configurator AD.   Kind Regards Morne
