Mitsubishi iQ Platform Compatible FA Integrated Engineering Software MELSOFT iQ Works Introducing MELSOFT Navigator Navigating to an intuitive engineering environment Mitsubishi Electric FA Integrated Concept
Engineering innovations start from MELSOFT Navigator Is selecting modules time consuming? Is setting the parameters for multiple systems bothersome? Are you manually inputting your device list? Are you connecting a cable to each device to backup your system? Is it difficult to search for project data during maintenance?
Here’s a more interactive and visible engineering style. Revolutionizing everything from the way you design system specifications and develop programs, to the way you perform field adjustments, operations, and maintenance.
Seamless integrated engineering environment to accelerate total cost reduction MELSOFT iQ Works System Management Software MELSOFT Navigator MELSOFT Navigator, along with GX Works2, MT Works2, GT Works3, and RT ToolBox2, facilitates system level design and acts as the interface between each software. Useful functions include design of system configuration, parameter batch setting, system labels, and batch read.
Ease-of-use at your fingertips MELSOFT Navigator System Specifications Design Module Selection 05 Displays available options in a list. Easily arrange suitable modules in the workspace. Checking Power Supply Capacity/Number of I/O Points 06 No need to look up manuals. Automatic check is available in module configuration. Creating Device List 07 Use CSV files to easily create lists with Microsoft ® Excel ®.
System Specifications Design Module Selection You’ll be amazed at how quickly you can select the most suitable module. Displays available options in a list. Easily arrange suitable modules in the workspace. Convenient! Available modules are listed Catalogs to read, web sites to check. The first time-consuming task in designing a system is selecting the modules. With MELSOFT Navigator, all of current available modules are listed, and the specifications of selected modules can be easily confirmed.
System Specifications Design Checking Power Supply Capacity/ Number of I/O Points The power supply capacity and number of I/O points are automatically checked, so you don’t need to rely on the manual! No need to look up manuals. Automatic check is available in module configuration. Time saving! Module configuration drawing Until now, referencing the manual was essential for calculating power supply capacity and looking up number of I/O points.
System Specifications Design Creating Device List Document your device lists without having to manually input data! Use CSV files to easily create lists with Microsoft Excel . ® Output CSV file from module list ® Manually inputting data into Microsoft ® Excel ® based on CAD drawings can make it quite timeconsuming to prepare device lists for orders.
System Specifications Design Creating System Configuration Effortlessly create system configurations without using Microsoft ® Visio ® or Microsoft ® Word ®! Directly apply your system designs in different locations. Convenient! System configuration Documenting your system configuration takes time and manpower.
System Specifications Design Managing reference documentations All relevant data are one-click away! Convenient! Manage files in a similar fashion as in Microsoft Windows desktop. Paste the link file for reference and design documents ® ® Saving and managing vast amounts of reference documents used for designing is always a headache. In MELSOFT Navigator, link files to mechanical drawings and past design materials can be pasted into the system configuration.
System Specifications Design Motion System Templates Advanced multi-CPU settings are so easy when you use templates! Templates with preset parameters and labels are available. Easy! Use templates with preset parameters and labels Just as settings for a programmable controller CPU can be complicated, so can settings for a motion controller. MELSOFT Navigator provides multiple templates to facilitate setting up multiCPU configurations that include a programmable controller CPU and a motion controller.
Program Development Parameter Batch Setting Apply parameters from the system configuration to each station’s programmable controller/GOT in one shot! MELSOFT collaboration! Batch set parameters for multiple systems. Parameter setting information in system configuration Just when you thought you were finished, you have to set the parameters for the next system... In the programming stage, setting the parameters for multiple systems is bothersome.
Program Development Sensor Parameter Setting No need to individually setup each sensor using proprietary setup tools Convenience! Connect and view with One Tool! One Tool to set parameters even between different sensor manufacturers Automatically generate the system configuration diagram by detecting connected sensors Setting parameters for each sensor can be difficult as setting methods can vary between setup tools.
Program Development Parameter Setting Can you really set the CC-Link/AnyWireASLINK network without referring to a manual?! Easy! More than 400 types of CC-Link remote I/Os, GOTs, inverters and robots are supported!! POWER Just select the device, ready for the design stage! MODE RUN ERR. USER BAT. BOOT USB, etc. MODE RUN ERR. USER BAT. BOOT MODE RUN ERR. USER BAT.
Program Development Device Assignment No need to consider device addresses! Easy! Automatically generate device assignments from the configuration screen. By using the new CC-Link configuration editor as part of the GX Works 2 package, device assignment Create the device configuration with the configuration editor Automatically generate a list of device assignments tasks have been made much simpler.
Program Development Label Sharing Assign devices for multiple projects just by changing one setting! MELSOFT collaboration! Changes are automatically reflected in all related projects. Define labels from one location In the past, if the device assignments changed, the same corrections had to be made for each of the projects.
Multiple Device Data Backup Field Adjustments Can you really backup multiple devices without connecting cables to each one? MELSOFT collaboration! Read out project data for multiple devices in batch. Cable connection to programmable controller (master station, etc.) Programmable controller, motion controller and GOT... The more equipment you connect to the Read project data in batch system, the longer it takes to read out project data for backup.
Multiple Device Data Backup Field Adjustments No more operation mistakes or overdue backups! MELSOFT collaboration! Read in batch without starting each software. Previously, to read out each device's project data, GX Works2 MT Works2 the operator had to start up each software (GX Works2, MT Works2, GT Works3), read from the GT Works3 Start each software project file, and then read data from the device. This process took several minutes per device.
Project Data Maintenance Maintenance Find the desired project data at a glance! MELSOFT collaboration! Finding required data is a breeze with the workspace management method. Manage project data with workspaces Have you ever felt that when folders are made for Display project names with tree structure each process and managed in nests, it’s still hard to find that project data you want to maintain? Once you find the folder, there are several files, and you don’t know which one to open.
Maintenance Project Data Maintenance Illustration of the system expedites finding the device you need! MELSOFT collaboration! Click on the illustration to read its device data. Paste-able bitmap and text box In MELSOFT Navigator, you can insert bitmap images to facilitate visualization of the system, and text boxes to write comments. The illustra- Visually search for the desired device tions make searching for the desired device intuitive and fast.
Maintenance Software Automatic Startup Maintenance How easy! Click on the corresponding project to start up the right software! The right software automatically starts up. MELSOFT collaboration! Click on a project in the workspace tree Software for corresponding device automatically starts up Various software, including GX Developer, GX Works2, MT Works2, GT Works3 and RT ToolBox2, Click on a device in the system configuration GX Works2 are used to edit project data used in a factory or line.
