I could write a long list of things I'd change in the software, but it is not bad and the price is hard to beat. My peak scan time shows to be 0.2 miliseconds at this early stage. I find the instruction set to be powerful, and the CPU speed seems very good. When I plugged it back in and bumped my timer back up to 0.15 seconds, it recovered all by itself even though only one of the devices is present.

I did manage to fill up the serial buffer by setting my polling delay to 0.1 seconds between messages and unplugging the serial port. The little unit seems to deal with the missing nodes just fine. One is using MRX and MWX blocks to poll 5 Modbus nodes over the serial port and 4 of them are absent.

So far, I have only written two small programs with about 20 rungs each. My A/D PLC experience is quite limited and I have been working with A/B stuff for almost 20 years. The software is a little too much like DirectSoft in some ways. I would not say they are as advanced as CompactLogix, but are a big step above the Micrologix1400 we use for most jobs. I just started a project using three of them. We are doing enough work there that a thousand dollars one way or the other is not going to kill us. I think we budgeted $750 for unknown software cost on this project and if it is more than that, it is not a big issue.

It appears that I may have to wait for a boat from Japan to deliver this elusive software in the end. It would great mainly because it would save me time. Now, if the demo software could open those old files and they turn out to be small enough so that the demo software is all that's needed, and I did not need to spend a few hundred dollars on software, that'd be great. I will go back and look again and try to find that demo software you mentioned, but if I cannot work with those old file types, I may as well wait until I have licensed software to work with. I am expecting to have to upload and work with the PLC logic when I get on site (it's 400 miles away and is running, just may need some minor changes). I am waiting for the application specialist from a nearby distributor to contact me. If I get that lucky, it will make life easier for sure. I am hopeful that the HMI 2nd serial port is enabled to allow passthrough so that I can keep the GOT HMI connected and keep using it while connecting my new HMI to that 2nd port for access to FX2N data. I believe this program is designed to run any possible configuration of this pump skid they might have ever sold and so it contains all those features and options with internal bits used to enable and disable sections of logic. I may have to go online with the running controller when I am back on site next week so I can figure out what parts of this program are actually being used and iron out the remaining details. Luckily the OEM did comment many of the addresses.

I was a little worried about finding my way around, but once I figured out how to display address comments (thanks, Theo), much of what I needed to see became apparent. Wow, it is a huge program for what the PLC is doing. I was able to import the old project into Developer first, and then into GX Works 2.

I got my software yesterday, installed it today, and was able to also install the GX Developer software and help files for the FX series PLCs.
