STL Programming FXGP vs GXdeveloper

6 posts in this topic

I have been using FXGP for programming our PLC's and have been using STL's for my ladders. We are looking to switch to GXdeveloper because FXGP doesn't work with newer versions of windows. I prefer the way FXGP "indents" the STL steps where GXdeveloper does not. I find the indented format much easier to follow. Does anyone have a way to display the STL's in the same format in GXdeveloper or is there something else I can use. I have included a part of a program using both softwares for comparison.

If you are going to Cange you might aswell change to GX Works 2 which still support the FX series up to FX3.

As for STL is was a languge to do SFC. GX Developer and GX Works 2 both support SFC.

Have you looked at this ?

I haven't done any programming using SFC.

Is anyone used GX works 2 for STL? Does it display the STL's with an "indent:?

Gambit,

Thank you. Is that option available in GX Developer?  Do you have part of a program that you can show in GX works?
