1. PLC Development Environment Using GX Developer
(1) GX Developer (PLC development software package for Windows)
GX Developer is a programming software package (model name: SW7D5C-GPPW) designed
for Mitsubishi Electric's MELSEC series programmable logic controllers. The conventional
function corresponding to MELDAS PLC development S/W (PLC4B) has been reinforced, and,
furthermore, that is a strong tool added the monitoring function by way of RS-232C. Note that
some functions specific to the "MELSEC series" may not be unavailable.
For MELDAS series ladder development, we recommend you to use GX Developer Version 4
(SW4D5C-GPPW) or later. For function details, refer to the operating manual supplied.
The DOS version "GPPQ" (SW2IVD/NX-GPPQ GPP function software package) of this
package is also usable. Refer to "Appendix3. Operation Method Using GPPQ" for details.
(2) GX Converter (Data conversion software package for Windows)
The GX Converter is a tool that carries out file conversion of GX Developer data files and the
following:
• Ladder list files and comment text files output by the CLIST6L
• Alarms and operator messages created by the text editor
• Data files of commercially available spreadsheet software, word processors and editors
This tool is add-on tool of the GX Developer, thus, start GX Converter from the GX Developer's
menu.
This tool is a software package for MELSEC. GX Converter needs to be used with the versions
following GX Developer Version 3 (SW3D5C-GPPW). Refer to the enclosed Operating Manual
for function details.
The DOS version "CNVQ" (SW0IVD/NX-CNVQ data conversion software package) of this tool
can also be used. Refer to "Appendix 3. Operation Methods Using GPPQ" for details.
(3) PCNV6L (List output converter)
This tool outputs a MELDAS specification ladder printing image with cross information into the
text format from the GX Developer specification ladder list and comment data. Refer to the
instruction manual for function details.
This tool works on the DOS of Windows.
(4) CLST6M (Device comment converter)
This tool outputs the contact/coil comment data of a user PLC ladder developed using PLC4B
into the text format of the GX Developer specifications. The comment data developed using
PLC4B can be used with GX Developer by using GX Converter to further convert the
conversion results of this tool. Refer to the instruction manual for function details.
This tool works on the DOS of Windows.
(5) CLST6L (Ladder list converter)
This tool converts the user PLC ladder list data developed using PLC4B, and outputs the data
in a ladder list format. The user PLC ladder developed using PLC4B can be used with the GX
Developer by using the GX Converter to further convert the conversion results of this tool. Refer
to the instruction manual for function details.
This tool works on the DOS of Windows.
