5.17.2 Differences from GX Developer

Considerations
GX Works2 has no macro functions. Use FB.
Device names cannot be set for devices in GX Works2. Use the la-
bel function. When symbols (e.g. +, -) that cannot be used in labels
are required, use two-byte symbols.
Sequence programs cannot be displayed as a list in GX Works2.
The CNC controller does not support the "conversion" + "writing
during RUN" function of GX Works2.
Passwords are set only for the CNC controller programs, and not for
GX Works2 programs.
When a program with a password stored in the CNC controller is
read to GX Works2, password information is not read.
Passwords for files cannot be set while IC memory card image data
is being written in GX Works2.
Inputting/outputting methods for text data such as PLC messages
or device comments are different; - GX Developer uses SJIS while
GX Works uses UNICODE.
- GX Developer uses the term "comma/fixed length delimiter" while
GX Works uses the term "tab delimiter".
- GX Developer and GX Works have different header formats
While trace execution is in progress, trace result cannot be read or
displayed.
CSV output formats of trace data are different between GX Works2
and GX Developer. Output formats cannot be selected in GX
Works2.
ST language is supported only by GX Works2.
CNC does not support the creation and edition of an ST language
by GX Developer.
In GX Developer, when an attempt is made to write sequence pro-
grams without writing parameters on the "Write to PLC" screen
during PLC RUN, the message "Do you want to write to PLC after
remote stop?" is displayed.
In GX Works2, When an attempt is made to write sequence pro-
grams without writing parameters on the "Write to PLC" screen
during PLC RUN, the message "PLC is running. Do you want to
force write of the files?" is displayed.
If [Yes] is clicked, an error dialog is displayed and sequence pro-
grams are not written.
If [No] is clicked, "Do you want to write to PLC after remote stop?"
is displayed.
