GX IEC
Developer is more than a powerful IEC 1131.3 programming and
documentation package. It supports your entire MELSEC PLC implementation
from the initial project planning to everyday operation, with a wealth
of advanced functions that will help you to cut costs and increase your
productivity.
The
sophisticated program architecture comes with a range of new,
user-friendly functions, including structured programming and support
for function libraries.
Top-down
application architecture
During the planning phase GX IEC Developer’s structuring tools help
you to organize your project efficiently: Use the intuitive graphical
tools to identify and display tasks, functional units, dependencies,
procedures and application structures. In addition to making your work
easier, this also significantly reduces error frequency in later project
stages.
Flexible
implementation
In the engineering phase you then choose the programming language
that best matches the structure of your project.
Program
frequently-used functions in function blocks and organize them in
libraries. This gives you the confidence that comes with knowing you are
using tested, reliable code. Password support helps you to protect your
valuable expertise.
Simple
configuration of control components
Configuration of controller components is performed quickly and
efficiently in tables with interactive dialogs and graphical support.
And this powerful support is available for standard and special function
modules as well as for the controller CPUs. You no longer have to create
application programs to configure your system.
Setting
up the hardware and network configuration
Powerful testing and debugging tools provide information on the
current status of the controllers and the network you are connected to.
Network functions like status and error displays, remote SET/RST
functions for controllers and peripherals, Live List, Cycle Time,
Connection State and more enable you to locate and correct errors
quickly and get your hardware and networks up and running in record
time.
Setting
up the application program
GX IEC Developer comes with everything you need to get your
applications installed, set up and running as quickly as possible,
including comprehensive online programming functions, fast and
informative monitoring displays, the ability to manipulate device values
with the graphical editors, manual and automatic step mode execution in
IL, the display of manipulated device values in the EDM (Entry Data
Monitor) and much more.
Normal
operation
During normal daily operation you can also use GX IEC Developer to
display important system status information, either in stand-alone mode
or called by another program in the control room.
Installation and maintenance
Top-down architecture, structured programming, comprehensive printed
documentation and support for user-defined help for your function blocks
all help to reduce the learning curve. You can make the information
needed for installing and maintaining the system available to the
operators quickly and efficiently, with minimum training overheads.
