4.1 System Configuration for PLC Development
The general configuration of the development environment is shown below.
Most of the development work is carried out with "GX Developer" or "GX Works2", which runs on a personal computer. GX
Developer/GX Works2 and the CNC control unit are connected with Ethernet at this time.
On the CNC unit PLC on-board edit screen, it is possible to use the data saved with GX Developer/GX Works2 or develop
PLC programs, as well. Note that some functions may be limited. (Print output, Japanese input, etc.)
Note
(1) Do not use GX Developer/GX Works2 simultaneously when several PCs are connected with NC.

Note
Note the following points when using the SD card or USB memory.
(1) Do not remove the SD card/USB memory during reading data.
(2) If a card must be inserted and removed while the power is ON, make sure to take sufficient time (approve. ten seconds or
more) between the insertion and removal.
(3) Do not pull out the card or turn OFF the power during access to the SD card. Failure to observe this could cause the
memory contents to be erased.
(4) Do not connect the devices other than the USB memory. (including extension cable and USB hub)
(5) It is recommended to use genuine SD cards. Mitsubishi Electric does not guarantee the machine operation when a com-
mercially available SD card/USB memory is used. In that case, performance check must be made carefully by machine
tool builder.
