5.1 Outline
This CNC supports user PLC development environment using Mitsubishi Electric FA engineering software GX Works2, which
is the PLC development tool for PLC MELSEC Series.
This manual describes user PLC development environment using GX Works2, focusing on usage specific to Mitsubishi
Electric CNC.
GX Developer is installed when GX Works2 is installed.
The difference between machine sequence and user safety sequence is as follows.
Machine sequence: Control ladder to control machine tools
User safety sequence: Control ladder for safety-related I/O observation created by the Smart Safety observation function
For the smart safety observation function, refer to "M800/M80 Series Smart safety observation Specification manual".

(1) GX Works2 (PLC development software package)
GX Works2 is a programming software package (model name:SW1DND-GXW2) for Mitsubishi Electric programmable
controller MELSEC series. It enables sequence programs for Mitsubishi Electric CNC series to be developed using similar
operations to those for MELSEC series. Some of the functions are exclusively for MELSEC series and cannot be used in
developing sequence programs for CNC.
GX Works2 Version 1.570U or newer version is recommended for developing sequence programs for Mitsubishi Electric CNC
series. For details of the functions, refer to each of "GX Works2 Operating Manuals".
