Download is free from Mitsubishi site, but it is Trial. You can find serial keys on network, but then it is piracy you are doing. Also by using the clones you are supporting intellectual theft.How it's not free ? I downloaded gx works 2 without any license and it's working.
This is the company official download link:Do you have a link to the download?
thanks
The clone is sold on Aliexpress which is a global shopping website, if it's piracy then Mitsubishi should have sued the clone's manufacturer. Otherwise, Mitsubishi can sue Aliexpress for selling these clones.Download is free from Mitsubishi site, but it is Trial. You can find serial keys on network, but then it is piracy you are doing.

Yep, you're right.Download is free from Mitsubishi site, but it is Trial. You can find serial keys on network, but then it is piracy you are doing. Also by using the clones you are supporting intellectual theft.
The FX clone PLCs can be used with the OpenPLC IDE and runtime code. This does involve overwriting the firmware that the PLC is delivered with, so there's no going back to GX Works after this.Yep, you're right.
OK, do you know a free PLC programming IDE ?
Thank you very much for this clarification, I actually must change gx works because the version I have on the college laboratory PC is a cracked version and that's against the college's software policy. What the programming language that OpenPLC support ?The FX clone PLCs can be used with the OpenPLC IDE and runtime code.

Yes OpenPLC is pretty basic compared to GX Works etc. but it does support all the IEC 61131 languages. It was originally intended to run on a PC, but support for microcontrollers was added so you can use Arduinos, STM32 etc. The big difference is that it compiles a stand alone binary which includes all the runtime code which gets programmed onto the micro, rather than just an instruction list that is interpreted by the existing runtime code.I tried OpenPlc, it's ok but compiling takes a long time, not very good on documentation so although it seems to work I would not use it, probably take me twice as long to produce a section of code compared to the original IDE.
GxWorks2 supports LD, FB, IL, ST and SFC , although SFC is not possible with all models of PLC.Yes OpenPLC is pretty basic compared to GX Works etc. but it does support all the IEC 61131 languages.
