There probably wouldn't have been Profibus either (GX Configurator DP). In fact, if it wasn't for Mitsubishi Europe, there wouldn't have been IEC at all. There is not much interest in structured programming at all (labels, function, function blocks, structured datatypes, structured text, project documentation.). It's a well known fact that in Japan, they prefer to program with simple ladder (straight ladder "hardcore" address programming). The problem with GX Works2 is that it is software written in Japan and tailored to the Japanese (asian) market. But it's an interesting discussion nonetheless. This should have been discussed in the GX Works2 forum, imo. So why would you expect 100% consistency between vendors on PLCs? You don't see the same exact keyboard on every single laptop. You don't expect every single car on the road to lay out the dashboard exactly the same. The underlying process is different in different PLC brands. So making it more like theirs is not always possible. And all companies were writing their own software at the same time. You need to understand that not all companies are the same. I can't recall more than one or two posts from you in which you liked anything. I don't know why you seem to hate Mitsubishi so much. The integration between packages got better with iQ Works 1.34, but does still need improvement. No idea what you mean with your fourth bullet. There have been many changes to the label functions, I think this is an option now. It adds the Profibus module to the intelligent module list in GX Works2. Profibus is added once you install GX Configurator-DP.

KAZAH perhaps you are a few versions behind.
