5.5.5 Creating Project

In GX Works2, PLC-related data such as sequence programs and message data are handled in units called "project".
This section describes how to create project.

5.5.5.1 Project

A project is an assembly of sequence programs, device comments, PLC message data, and parameters. Those data are
usually managed in project units organized by model or by version.

 The number of ladder files and PLC message files that can be handled in one GX Works2 project
Up to 124 ladder files and PLC message files in total can be handled in one project on GX Works2. (When an attempt is made
to create the 125th file, an error occurs, and a file is not created.)
To handle more than 125 ladder files and PLC message files in total, perform either of the following operations for
development.
 Create and manage a PLC message-dedicated project apart from sequence programs.
 Use the multi-project function to reduce the number of files per project to 124 or fewer.
