Mitsubishi GT Works 3: A Powerful and Intuitive HMI Software

    Human-machine interfaces (HMIs) are essential for controlling and monitoring industrial processes, machines, and systems. They provide a graphical representation of the status, data, and commands of the devices and applications that they are connected to. However, designing and configuring HMIs can be a complex and time-consuming task, especially for large-scale and sophisticated projects. That is why Mitsubishi Electric offers a comprehensive and user-friendly software suite for creating and managing HMIs: GT Works 3.

    What is GT Works 3?

    GT Works 3 is the design and configuration software for the GOT1000, GOT2000, and GS Series HMIs. This revolutionary and intuitive design environment provides a host of attributes and graphical elements needed to quickly and easily develop visualization projects. GT Works 3 supports various screen sizes, resolutions, colors, and orientations, as well as multi-language and multi-device compatibility. It also offers a range of features and functions to enhance the functionality, performance, and security of the HMIs.

    What are the benefits of GT Works 3?

    GT Works 3 offers many benefits for HMI developers and users, such as:

        Simplified screen design: GT Works 3 allows users to create stylish and clear screens with minimal effort. It has a work tree that helps users easily manage project data, a simulator that checks operations with a single click, a device search that quickly finds devices and labels, a library that contains various graphical components, a graphical meter that creates attractive and informative meters, a table that creates structured tables, a screen image list that displays screen thumbnails, and a data browser that checks the settings.

        Improved screen quality: GT Works 3 introduces GOT Graphic Ver.2, which is a new graphic engine that enables users to create high-quality screens with smooth animations, gradients, transparency, anti-aliasing, and scaling. GOT Graphic Ver.2 also supports vector graphics, which can be resized without losing clarity or quality.

        Enhanced data utilization: GT Works 3 enables users to effectively use data from various sources, such as PLCs, databases, web servers, cameras, barcodes, RFID tags, etc. It also allows users to search by keywords and export or import data in various formats. Moreover, GT Works 3 supports data logging, data sampling, data transfer, recipe management, alarm management, trend graphing, report generation, and other functions that help users monitor and analyze data.

        Increased security: GT Works 3 provides various security features to protect the HMI projects from unauthorized access or modification. It supports password protection, user authentication, user authority management, operation log recording, encryption, digital signature verification, etc. It also complies with the international standard IEC62443-4-1 for industrial network security.
