Unable to read comments

4 posts in this topic

Hello, I seem to be having trouble reading comments from PLC in GX Developer. 

The PLC is an ACPU, Everytime I try to read comments using GX Developer I get the following error.

"The comment was not read correctly".

I found an old project from this PLC that has comments, But im unable to read any current ones.

Anyone experienced this before?

I was wondering if its one of the two reasons:

  • The PLC is unable to store comments
  • The comments were written in Japanese, and my version of Developer is English.

If it is true that the comments cannot be read from the PLC because they are Japanese. Is there any possible way to get the comments and translate them, and store them again?

It seems this may be a big issue for me, as most of my PLCs were written in Japanese.

Try install the japanese version of GX Developer inside VM using Windows in japanese.

windows 10 you can select the system language easily, no need reboot

Have you tried changing the language of GX Works?

Go to Tool > Language Selection.  Make a backup if possible before you do this, just in case.

Also you could try changing Windows Options for non-Unicode programs.
