iQ Works

Integrated engineering software

iQ Works is an integrated software suite consisting of GX Works3, MT Works2, GT Works3, RT ToolBox3 and FR Configurator2, which are used to program Mitsubishi Electric automation products. Software integration is enhanced with Navigator as the central system configuration incorporating an easy-to-use, graphical user interface with additional project-sharing features such as system labels and parameters. The advantages of this powerful integrated software suite are that system design is made much easier with a substantial reduction in repetitious tasks, cutting down on errors while helping to reduce the overall TCO.

Navigator – System management software

System level graphic-based configuration tool that simplifies the system design by providing a visual representation of the system. System management features such as system-wide parameterization, labels and block reading of project data are also included.

GX Works3 – Controller engineering software

GX Works3 is the latest generation of programming and maintenance software offered by Mitsubishi Electric specifically designed for the MELSEC iQ-R Series control system. It includes many new features such as graphic-based system configuration, integrated motion control setup, multiple language support, providing an intuitive engineering environment solution.

GT Works3 – GOT screen design software

This graphic operation terminal (GOT) screen creation software is designed with three main features — simplicity, graphics design and operation ease — that help to create graphic screens in fewer steps.

MT Works2 – Motion controller engineering software

This motion control design and maintenance software includes intuitive graphic-based programming together with a digital oscilloscope simulator.

RT ToolBox3 – Robot engineering software

This robot setup software supports various steps from programming, to commissioning, evaluation, and maintenance. In addition, improved preventative maintenance is realized through the use of an integrated 3D robot simulator.

FR Configurator2 – Inverter setup software

This software simplifies the setup and maintenance of AC Inverters. Parameters can be registered easily and distributed to multiple inverters when replacing, and activation of the PLC function all from one setup screen.

MT Works2

Create advanced motion control systems

System Settings

With the highly graphical nature of the system settings screen, setting up servo amplifiers is easy. The software provides details about the parameters so they can be configured without needing to refer to a manual.

SFC Motion Programming

Using an SFC motion program, it is possible to write machine operations, perform monitoring, and simulate/bug test all in flowchart form. Use the instruction wizard to quickly and easily write programs.

Mechanical System Program Edit

Use a simple drag and drop interface to create complex synchronous control systems. Modify CAM patterns visually to further aid the design process.

Servo Programming Assistance

Configure advanced motion control programs without the need for a manual. Simply pick the desired servo commands from the instruction list and the help is right there. Follow the help and set items like axis number, positioning address, and positioning speed to complete the configuration.

Various Test Mode Functions

Run basic instructions in test mode without the need for a program. Test a new system with functions like return to home position, JOG, and others with just the click of a mouse.

Motion Simulator

Program debug mode and the digital oscilloscope function allow for easy testing of motion SFC programs, servo programs, and mechanical system programs all without the need for real hardware.

Digital Oscilloscope

Plot feedback data synchronized with motion controller data on the same graph to quickly reveal any problems. Using this feature makes start-up and commissioning quick and easy. Also MT Works2 makes it easy to save the collected data in CSV format.

Rich Monitor Functions

Improve installation and maintenance operation efficiency by using one of the many monitoring tools to view the motion SFC program in operation, monitor the motion controller's status, or batch monitor errors.
