MELSOFT1 OVERVIEW

1. OVERVIEW

This chapter explains the overview of GX Converter and this manual. This manual describes the GX Converter, a product capable of converting TEXT, CSV format data into List or Device comments so that the GX Developer can handle, and converting List and Device comments into TEXT, CSV format data.

1.1 Features

(1) Conversion can be processed as a GX Developer function. Conversion can be performed without closing the GX Developer because it is an add-on function for the GX Developer.

(2) Data can be converted by file. Conversions can be performed between commercial software (TEXT, CSV format data) and the GX Developer (List or Device comments) at the file level. (There is no need for copying and pasting.)

(3) Sequence programs can be created using commercial software. When a program created using the TEXT,CSV format is converted to a List via GX Converter, it may be used as an actual sequence program.

(4) Data can be created in any file format. When creating a List or Device Comments using the TEXT,CSV format, the file format can be created freely.

6. FILE FORMATS

This chapter explains the formats of TEXT, CSV format file, which can be used for GX Converter conversion.

6.1 About TEXT CSV format files

(1) TEXT format files (delimited by spaces) This is a file format in which data are separated by spaces.

(a) Necessary commercial software Use a TEXT editor to create or edit List or Device comments.

(b) About the use of tabs Do not use tabs in TEXT format files. The GX Converter recognizes data which are separated by tabs as CSV format data. In the CSV format, a single tab is recognized as a delimiter, so caution is necessary. When reading data separated by tabs using GX Developer, perform conversion by selecting " TEXT format" for "Set conversion source data."

(2) CSV format files (delimited by commas) This is a file format in which data are separated by commas. The GX Converter supports conversion of data separated by delimiters other than commas.

(a) Necessary commercial software List and Device comments can be created and edited using a spreadsheet. Alternatively, a TEXT editor may be used.

(b) About commas within data 1) When spreadsheet software is used Commas may be used within strings such as Statement and Comment. 2) When a TEXT editor is used Insert double quotations before and after the string in which commas are used, when import the string to GX Developer. When the GX Developer export strings that include commas, it will insert

double quotations before and after the strings.

(c) About double quotations The GX Converter recognizes and converts string data as shown below:

GX Developer (Statement, Comment, etc.)

"AB"

"AB"C"

A,B

AB

CSV file (within file)

""AB""

"""AB""C"""

"A,B"

AB

6 - 2 6 - 2

MELSOFT6 FILE FORMATS

CAUTION

About double quotations in CSV format There may be some cases in which strings in CSV files created using GX Converter are not correctly recognized or converted by some spreadsheet products available on the market. When this happens, perform necessary actions by referring to the manual of the spreadsheet software. Or, this problem can be resolved by opening the CSV file using a TEXT editor and adding or removing double quotations as necessary.

POINT (1) GX Converter cannot be started up with projects using labels. (2) When the TEXT, CSV format file is being import by GX Developer

Using the same file formats for import a TEXT, CSV format file using GX Developer and export to TEXT, CSV format file will make the subsequent operations easier.

When creating a List using commercial software, the Step number need not be input, since the GX Developer adds new Step number each time is r import data.

(3) When export a List or Device comments to a TEXT, CSV format file The file format cannot be changed at this time.

Change the file format using a commercial software package after the data export to the TEXT, CSV format file has been completed. 6

6.2 File formats when the GX Developer import a TEXT, CSV format file

This section explains the file formats used when the GX Developer import a TEXT, CSV format file.

POINT GX Converter recognizes up to 17 columns of data and will not recognize data in the 18th column and beyond. Therefore, when creating data using a TEXT editor or spreadsheet, create it using 17 columns or less. GX Converter recognizes up to 524288 lines.

6.2.1 When a List is import by the GX Developer

The following explains how to describe each column data format.

Column data format Description

Step number (1) No description necessary

(Automatically added when performing conversion to GX Developer format.)

Line statement

(1) Describe Statement strings only. Describe only the Statement; e.g. "Master Station Initialization setting". A conversion error will occur if a semicolon (;) is inserted before a Statement string.

Describe a Line statement only.

(2) Up to 64 characters can be used. (3) When the CPU type of the GX Developer project is A Series, FX Series or Motion (SCPU) All descriptions become Separate statement. A conversion error will occur if a " * " is inserted before a Statement string. (4) When the CPU type of the GX Developer project is QnA Series Enter an " * " in front of a Statement string to make it a Separate statement; e.g. "Master Station Initialization setting". The " * " in front of strings that denotes a Separate statement is not counted as the number of characters. (5) If there is a mixture of Line statement, P/I statement and Note in the same line, a conversion

error will occur.

Appendix 1. Limitations and Precautions

(1) The following explains the limitations and precautions when import TEXT, CSV format data to the GX Developer.

Item Description

Conversion cannot be performed during monitoring using GX Developer. Conversion cannot be performed while GX Simulator is running in GX Developer. Conversion cannot be performed when the GX Converter is running without any open project.

While GX Converter is running

GX Converter cannot be used when "Use label" is selected while creating a new project on GX Developer.

CPU type

When the GX Developer import TEXT, CSV format data, there may be some cases in which Instruction and I/O (Device) cannot be converted, depending on the CPU type of the project opened in GX Developer. See "GX Developer Operating Manual" for details.

Data name There is a limitation in data names when the PLC type of the GX Developer project is A Series, FX Series, or Motion (SCPU). See "GX Developer Operating Manual" for details. When converting a List, the data type of the Instruction must be present within the conversion data. Otherwise, conversion cannot be performed.

Column data format When converting Device comments, the data type of the Device number must be present within the conversion data. Otherwise, conversion cannot be performed. In addition, describe Device number and either Comment or Label.

Device comments

To save the conversion processing time, describe the Device number in ascending order within the TEXT, CSV format data. Conversion is also possible when they are not in the ascending order. When Device numbers are entered randomly, it takes longer to read Device comments compared to when they are entered in ascending order.

Conversion row setting The input range for Start import at row and End import at row is 1 to 524288. The default End import at row is blank. When the End import at row is blank, conversion is performed up to the last row.

Data Preview area When CSV format is specified, the data for the 18th column and beyond will be displayed as " , " in the Data Preview area.
