This manual explains the added and updated GX Developer functions to support a
safety programmable controller.
Be sure to read this manual before using a safety programmable controller.
For any unchanged functions, refer to the GX Developer Version 8 Operating Manual.
1.1 Features
The following shows the features of the GX Developer supporting a safety
programmable controller.
(1) Security functions
The main feature of the GX Developer is that only the defined users can edit
project data and operate a safety programmable controller.
The following shows the functions for protecting data and restricting operations.

MELSOFT
An access level designates the operation authority given to a user who logs in to a
project.
The access level is classified into the following three levels, in order from the highest
level where all of operations are allowed to project data and a safety programmable
controller.
Access Level
Operation Authority
Administrators
<Manager level>
Can perform all operations.
Only Administrators can perform user management and
security settings.
High
Developers
<Developer level>
Can perform all the operations except for user
management and security settings.
Users
Low
1-2
<Operator level>
Can edit but cannot overwrite the project data in a PC.
Can read (e.g. monitoring) but cannot write data as for
the online operation to a safety programmable controller.

1.1.4 Safety CPU operation mode (SAFETY MODE and TEST MODE)
A safety CPU operation mode includes a SAFETY MODE and TEST MODE.
The safety CPU operation mode can be switched from the GX Developer.
(1) SAFETY MODE
The SAFETY MODE is used when operating a safety system.
In this mode, the operations may lead a safety programmable controller to a
control change (e.g. Write to PLC, Device test) are inhibited so that the running
system is protected.
(2) TEST MODE
The TEST MODE is used when starting or maintaining a system.
In this mode, all operations including "Write to PLC" and "Device test" are
available. (The available functions depend on the login users access level.)
Contents
Automatically locks operation if the GX Developer has not been
operated for a certain period of time.
