MELSOFT - The ProgressiveSoftware Concept from MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC

Around the globe, state-of-the-art automation systemsfrom Mitsubishi Electric arecontributing to technologicalprogress and economicsuccess. The legendaryreliability and user-friendlyoperation of MitsubishiElectric’s hardwarecomponents are also keyfeatures of the integratedMitsubishi ELectric SOFTwareconcept MELSOFT.

Data and programs are fullycompatible and portablebetween all the manysoftware packages within theMELSOFT system. Thefoundation for thistransparent data exchange isthe MX Change package.

In recent years growingrequirements and newspecifications have almostdoubled automationdevelopment costs. Networks,

positioning, analog signalprocessing, open bus systems,control units and completeprocess visualisation links arenow all standard componentsof automation systems. Manyprojects have become socomplex that the projectteams must now include alarge number of skilledworkers to write the PLCprograms, program thecontrol units and create the

visualisation applications.MX Change helps to keepdevelopment andmaintenance overheads, andthus the system price, withinreasonable limits. It does thisby handling the entire datamanagement within yourproject team, co-ordinatingthe transparent exchangeof data and code betweenthe individual MELSOFTprograms. It even supportslinks to other systems, suchas CAD systems.

MX Change’s efficientperformance is achieved withseveral different program

modules. The foundation isthe MX Change server, whichis a database that can beaccessed by all programsintegrated in the system. It isused both as a local serverand as a network server. Avariable declared in anyprogram connected to MXChange can be accessed by allthe other programs in thesystem. If the declarationcauses a data conflict all theprogrammers are informedautomatically, eliminating thetime-consuming search forthe problem during thesystem commissioning phase.

The second MX Changeprogram module is theproject manager withintegrated tag editor. Thismodule is a powerful projectnavigator that gives the userfull project transparency andconsistency. It can display allvariables in the entire projectand its component programs.The user can copy anyvariable from one part of theproject to another by drag &drop. A single click on aproject button in the tageditor is all it takes to make avariable available to theassociated program. Thevariable editing capabilities ofthe project manager and tag

editor opens up hithertoundreamed-of possibilities forprogrammers, combined withmaximum flexibility.

MX Change also helps to cutcosts in the systemcommissioning stage. Forexample, if an error isencountered you can use theappropriate strings in yourvisualisation system to openthe GX IEC Developer toimmediately start monitoringyour program at the rightpoint.

The Project Managergenerates acomprehensive report ofall the variables used inthe project.

MELSOFT is a fully-integrated conceptencompassing allindustrial automationlevels.

GX IEC Developer is morethan a powerful IEC 1131.3programming anddocumentation package. Itsupports your entire MELSECPLC implementation from theinitial project planning toeveryday operation, with awealth of advanced functionsthat will help you to cut costsand increase yourproductivity.

The sophisticated programarchitecture comes with arange of new, user-friendlyfunctions, includingstructured programming andsupport for function libraries.

Top-down applicationarchitecture

During the planning phaseGX IEC Developer’sstructuring tools help you toorganise your projectefficiently: Use the intuitivegraphical tools to identify anddisplay tasks, functional units,dependencies, proceduresand application structures. Inaddition to making your workeasier, this also significantlyreduces error frequency inlater project stages.

Flexible implementation

In the engineering phase youthen choose theprogramming language thatbest matches the structure ofyour project:

● ST (Structured Text)

● SFC (Sequential FunctionChart)

● LD (Ladder Diagram)

● FBD (Function BlockDiagram)

● IL (Instruction List)

Program frequently-usedfunctions in function blocksand organise them in libraries.This gives you the confidencethat comes with knowing youare using tested, reliablecode. Password support helpsyou to protect your valuableexpertise.

Simple configuration ofcontrol components

Configuration of controllercomponents is performedquickly and efficiently intables with interactive dialogsand graphical support. Andthis powerful support isavailable for standard andspecial function modules aswell as for the controllerCPUs. You no longer have tocreate application programsto configure your system.

Setting up the hardware andnetwork configuration

Powerful testing anddebugging tools provideinformation on the currentstatus of the controllers andthe network you areconnected to. Networkfunctions like status and errordisplays, remote SET/RSTfunctions for controllers and

GX IEC Developer ismuch more than an IEC1131.3/EN 61131-3programming anddocumentation system.

peripherals, Live List, CycleTime, Connection State andmore enable you to locateand correct errors quickly andget your hardware andnetworks up and running inrecord time.

Setting up the applicationprogram

GX IEC Developer comes witheverything you need to getyour applications installed, setup and running as quickly aspossible, includingcomprehensive onlineprogramming functions, fastand informative monitoringdisplays, the ability tomanipulate device valueswith the graphical editors,manual and automatic stepmode execution in IL, thedisplay of manipulated devicevalues in the EDM (Entry DataMonitor) and much more.

Normal operation

During normal daily operationyou can also use GX IECDeveloper to displayimportant system statusinformation, either in stand-alone mode or called byanother program in thecontrol room. The automatedSFC functions and the abilityto display internal andexternal function block statusinformation simultaneouslyare particularly useful. Thisprovides a valuable additionalview of the system, betweenthe functions of a straightcode monitor and ananimated machinerepresentation.

Installation andmaintenance

Top-down architecture,structured programming,comprehensive printeddocumentation and supportfor user-defined help for yourfunction blocks all help to

Clear display of overallproject structure

reduce the learning curve.You can make the informationneeded for installing andmaintaining the systemavailable to the operatorsquickly and efficiently, withminimum training overheads.

Errors and down times

In combination with MXChange, GX IEC Developercan be configured to startautomatically when an error isencountered. It loads theaffected controller programand monitors the routinewhere the error occurred inthe editor. This makes itpossible to find and correcterrors very quickly, drasticallyreducing system down times.

In addition to this theTracking function enables youto determine the origin of asignal state, which frequentlyreveals the cause of a systemstop.

COSIMIR – Cell-orientedrobot simulation with PCs

COSIMIR is the 3D robotsimulation system for allMitsubishi robots. It runs onall PCs with 32-bit MSWindows operating systems.

COSIMIR has functions forplanning the robot work cell,checking the accessibility ofall programmed positions andoptimising the layout. Allmovement sequences andhandling operations can besimulated without hardwareto eliminate collisions andoptimise cycle times. Afterthorough testing andsimulation you can thendownload your programsdirectly to the robot’scontroller via the standardRS232 serial port or theoptional Ethernet (TCP/IP)interface. The Ethernetinterface can also be used tolink the controller to theInternet, enabling you tomodify programs and performservice functions fromvirtually any location.

COSIMIR supports fullsimulation of complete robotcells. This means that inaddition to the robot’s ownmovements you can alsosimulate its interaction withits environment. COSIMIRenables realistic simulation of

gripper and transportoperations. To simulate theelectrical connectionsbetween cell components inCOSIMIR you just connect theinputs and outputs, just asyou would in the realproduction cell. For example,to be able to activate aconveyor belt with an outputsignal in the robot programyou just need to connect oneof the robot controller’ssimulated digital outputs withthe conveyor’s input.

Programming in the robot’slanguages

COSIMIR supports all therobots of the MitsubishiMELFA series. You can writeyour programs in theMOVEMASTER COMMAND orMELFA BASIC languages andthen simulate them directlyon the PC. You don’t need tolearn an additional simulationlanguage in addition to robotprogramming language. Thissignificantly shortens thelearning curve with thispowerful simulation software.
