# Create a New GX Works2 Project

1. Open the Melsoft GX Works2 software program, version 1.507d, and create a new project.
2. In the New Project dialog, setup the PLC by establishing the series, type, project type and language.

Note: When connecting to the PLC, have the PLC's IP address available, or connect the PLC and the configuration PC on the same network switch, or connect the PLC directly to the PC's network port. If using a laptop PC, the PLC will not be seen over a wireless connection. The PLC can be connected via USB or Serial, as well.
