Weintek Love in the Wild

From a cost effectiveness perspective it has no equal. Where else are you getting a 15” HMI with remote access and VPN for less than $2000?

I've been a 25+ year MapleSystems user for HMIs which is basically Weintek hardware under the hood. But recently I've been super impressed with the cMT-FHDX-820 headless HMI unit. I've installed about 18 of them in the last two years and there is really nothing that you can think of connectivity wise that this unit can not handle. The most impressive was one unit connecting to 11 PLCs with about a couple thousand tags and booting up in less than 10 seconds...to my last project of needing to dump logging data into an SQL database that was so super easy. These cMT-FHDX-820 are "MrPLC" approved for the price point. Very well done Weintek!

Great, reliable hardware and free software downloads. I feel confident recommending them to customers of mine and know several integrators using their products with great results.

I've been using these products for years. Many that I've worked on were in place since the '90s or even '80s. No issues and great customer service!

The experience with Weintek's customer service team is extremely excellent. Their response time is super fast, always providing a quick and reliable solution. We provide up-to-date information on working with the different software and hardware components of the products they offer. It's truly one of the best services you'll receive from suppliers and manufacturers of HMIs and other components.

Few screen shots of a Weintek cmtx HMI I have just done to replace an old schneider HMI that had lost its touch. also went from Modbus RS485 to TCP/IP. A much cleaner layout then before and even put together a small user manual, which I will put on the HMI using the bult-in pdf viewer. #Weintek

Today we've been tinkering with something that I find especially useful in an industrial environment: user access in a Weintek HMI using RFID tags. Nothing particularly "futuristic", but very well resolved. Instead of relying on usernames and passwords (which we all know how they end up in the plant...), each operator identifies themselves by bringing their RFID key fob close to the reader. The HMI recognizes the tag and directly applies its permission level. Simple, fast and, above all, practical. On a technical level, the interesting thing is how it integrates with the user management of the system itself. You can map each tag ID to a user, define roles and limit critical actions (recipes, parameters, maintenance...) without the need for external development. On a day-to-day basis, this translates into: – Fewer steps for the operator – More real control over who accesses what – Better traceability of actions – And fewer "shared passwords" circulating around the plant I have recorded a short video where you can see the real operation, without filters. So you can see how simple it is to implement and how well it can fit into a real application. If you work with HMIs or are thinking of improving access control in your equipment, I think it can give you some ideas.

Two HMIs Somatic and WeinTek connected to one PLC via OPC UA and S7 Protocol. This can be implemented with many UI/HMI throughout the facility.

Today was the day to review and make the last software and hardware adjustments in another project that will soon be delivered to the customer. The system was developed with integration between Siemens S7-1500 PLC (CPU 1515-2 PN), Weintek HMI and Danfoss FC 300 frequency inverters, ensuring robustness and reliability in operation. For development and commissioning, the following were used: • TIA Portal V20 (Siemens) • EasyBuilder Pro (Weintek) • MCT10 (Danfoss) Another completed project with a focus on performance, integration and quality.

This complex project involved blending automation and energy management to optimize power generation from solar, generator, and grid sources. Key Achievements: - Installed Weintek HMI to control and synchronize 550kW solar inverters (Inverex 110kW x 5=550KW), 500kW generator, and grid with 149kW net metering load, ensuring seamless transitions. - Integrated energy analyzer for real-time data capture and display on HMI, enabling comprehensive monitoring and load management. - Successfully synchronized power inputs, maximizing efficiency across the PV diesel plant. Gratified to have advanced my programming and technical skills in industrial automation and energy management.

Stepping into the world of HMI for the first time! 🛠️ This week, I took on a new challenge: integrating a Weintek HMI touch screen into my control system. Despite it being my first time working with this hardware, I managed to get it fully operational in just 2 days. Key Progress: • Seamless Communication: Established Modbus TCP connectivity through a network switch. • Data Visualization: Successfully mapped 22 sensor values and 8 actuator settings for real-time monitoring. • Mobile Integration: Topped it off this afternoon by implementing Bluetooth on the controller board, enabling full system access via smartphones and tablets. I'm excited about how quickly this interface came together. It’s amazing to see how modern HMI tools can streamline industrial workflows when you dive right in!

🔧 From Semi-Automatic to Fully Automated – Feed Production System Upgrade Proud to share a recent project delivered by our team in an animal feed production facility (poultry, cattle, and goat nutrition lines). The objective was clear: Replace an unstable and faulty control system with a reliable, precise, and fully automated solution. The existing process was running in semi-automatic mode with recurring dosing inaccuracies from multiple silos and limited diagnostic visibility. This was directly impacting efficiency and maintenance response time. Our approach focused on: ▪ Rebuilding the entire control logic on a Siemens S7-1200 PLC ▪ Developing a structured and intuitive interface using a Weintek HMI ▪ Converting the system from semi-automatic to fully automatic operation ▪ Improving dosing precision to near-optimal accuracy ▪ Implementing clear alarm handling and diagnostic feedback for faster troubleshooting The result: ✔ Smoother production cycles ✔ Significantly improved dosing precision ✔ Better operator visibility ✔ Faster maintenance intervention ✔ A more reliable and scalable system Projects like this highlight how structured automation and well-designed control philosophy can transform performance Proud to be part of a team that focuses on reliability, precision, and continuous improvement.

Easy Builder Pro. Free download and although it's different to use in a lot of ways from stuff you might be more used to like Rockwell or Siemens or Ignition, I really like it. I've got two Weintek HMIs in my test lab and use their software quite often.

Weintek is one of the biggest HMI manufacturers for a reason. For really harsh environments I use ESA, but everywere else I like Weintek very much.

Efficient HVAC system management starts with intelligent access to information. With Weintek's WEINCLOUD platform, you can monitor and control your processes in real time, from anywhere and with complete security. Ideal for building and industrial applications, this solution offers intuitive dashboards, integration with PLCs, and data history, ensuring more agility in decision-making and shorter response time for maintenance.

This Form 3bih control panel was manufactured for a new public learn to swim facility located in Brisbane. The new centre features a 20m indoor learn to swim pool and in the board you'll find: Siemens PLC, a Weintek HMI, Danfoss Aqua VSD's and Schneider Electric switchgear throughout. Love working on these commercial pool projects.

I have already used several Weintek product lines, including EMT, MT, and cMT, specifically MT8072iP, cMT-2078X, FHDX-820 with CODESYS, and the cMT-G01. Weintek provides a large amount of well-structured online tutorials, a fast learning curve, excellent cost-benefit, free software, and high technology. What stands out the most, overall, is the huge number of available drivers and the architectural flexibility of the platform. The cMT line can act as a server for the MT line, remote access through EasyAccess 2.0 works very well, and the cMT-G01 operating as an OPC UA server (15,000 free certified nodes) is impressive. In addition, having native MQTT, direct integration with AWS IoT Core and Microsoft Azure, Modbus server functionality, and features like cMT Viewer puts many external tools aside — it even replaces solutions where Node-RED is often used. Because of the wide range of drivers and features, Weintek solutions are suitable for almost any application scenario. As a suggestion for improvement: It would be very useful if the MAC address of the Ethernet port on the MT series were explicitly visible on the HMI system. Currently, when the navigation button is hidden, retrieving this information can become unnecessarily difficult.

For these projects, I've selected Weintek HMIs - I'm working in EasyBuilder Pro, and it seems like it'll be more than capable for my needs. Someone in this sub suggested them, and I'm liking the software more than the one for the CMore HMIs (and some other brand I've forgotten at the moment). So that part is set. 2 projects - OEM machine that controls some smaller pumps via relays and digital inputs, and monitors tank volume via a 4-20mA pressure sensor. In-house manufacturing line that will pump chemicals and use IO-Link flowmeters from IFM and likely some 4-20mA level sensors, and trigger some output relays.

I use Siemens PLC and Weintek HMI without any problems, I make logs and graphs without problems using the panel functions, or in particular cases we do everything from PLC

Our production line wants to create an awareness dashboard with modern web technology. We want to extract data logs via Weintek, as our current system uses Siemens PLCs and HMI. The old vendor used Siemens environment tools like WinCC and TIA Portal to create a dashboard, but we can't afford to purchase a license. So we've decided to extend our topology using Weintek instead.

Ignition doesn't support CANbus. Probably not a deal killer for most situations. At my company my colleague wants to start using Ignition Edge for ALL of our HMI projects. Which makes sense. But I am making an HMI for diesel engines. The lack of CANbus support means I have to jump through a 3rd party OPC-UA to convert it before sending it to HMI. I think I am just going to use the a Weintek/Maple HMI for this project because it has CANbus support built in. Other than that, the only downside I can think of is that an Ignition Edge license is $1300. If that is per panel, it's going to get really expensive in a hurry. Our application needs 7 HMIs per machine.

I have used in the past and it is quite good. The VPN connection speed is compatible with the eWon. So yeah, I think is a good option

I've used them quite a bit as Maple systems screens. I like that they can talk to a ton of different PLC types. I mainly use it for Allen-bradley cause the weintek is a lot cheaper than the panelviews. Heck, there was one project on a dredge in Savannah that used a 4" weintek just to switch screens on a factorytalk SE Application.

Weintek are really powerful and very cheap. Software is free and you can do online simulation before you have to purchase anything. I have written a HMI program and connected to a PLC with online simulation where my laptop acts like a HMI and then controlled all functions as normal. Then I purchased the HMI and installed. They offer screen less HMIs as well, I recommend you take a look at their products. Well worth the money and they have hundreds of drivers.

“We’ve been very impressed by the expanded capabilities of the Weintek HMI,” said Hamrick. “You can play training videos on it, or store manuals with it, and the interface is so intuitive.”

I've been using them for quite some time. The graphics are pretty good. The drivers are the big plus. Modbus is straight forward for CoDeSys (Wago & stuff). They also offer their own CoDeSys I/O and such (you need to pick the right unit for it though). I even used them for some old SLC replacements serial & Ethernet, beats PV!! And yes, Maple has a great support team if you need it. Weintek as well as Maple have their own YouTube channels. You'll find pretty much everything on there as far as setting up a unit.

I require remote access to my projects that are away from home. I did some homework and decided that Weintek looked to have a good solution. Set up my first Weintek touch screen yesterday. I set up a domain on Weincloud - free. A secure VPN connection. I had purchased a remote access card when I purchased the screen - about $90 AUD. I set up the screen with appropriate IP addresses - modem was connected complete with an inexpensive data only SIM card - entered modem IP address as appropriate - rebooted the touch screen and clicked add screen on the cloud interface. I added the hardware number of the screen and the serial number on the access card and viola - I was connected to the screen via EasyAccess software and Weintek CMT viewer. Operating switches and the like. The hardware number and access card number are locked together. My PLC was connected to the second Ethernet port on the touch screen and my laptop was connected to the PLC as well through a switch and I was online to the PLC. I clicked on 'pass through' on the cloud connection - added the IP address of the PLC - the software noted that there already was a connection to the PLC (my laptop) - said it would be disconnected - clicked OK - my laptop Ethernet connectiion was disconnected and was then connected through the modem/cloud connection - absolutely seamless. I think back to how I used to have to connect with expensive Extranet cards - having to use a DNS server to find out the public IP address or have an expensive VPN account and program the modem mystery bag - do routing tables in the PLC software - painfull. Very impressed and the screens are not expensive - graphics pretty good as well - a heap of drivers for just about any PLC brand. I did not have to do any programming in the modem either - its default IP address was out of the way of everything so no need. In this case I used a Teleorigin modem but guess that probably any brand would do. Many have a default IP address of 192.168.1.1 which is inconvenient as that is the default address of most routers as well so the IP address would need to be changed before connecting to anything. Now on to discovering about the email feature from the screen through Weincloud using a SMTP mail server. Then on to push messages to mobiles with EasyAccess running on them. My customer will also have access to the screen from mobile phones and computers using the EasyAccess app - everyone is happy. Next one will be setup next week - will have to put together a detailed instruction sheet for my colleagues. Red Lion have a solution of course but it is so expensive and does not appear to have all the features Weintek does have. Recommended. Apparently they have a special solution for CODESYS and Seimens PLCs as well - no experience there as I do not use either of them - currently doing this with Omron PLCs. It is necessary to add a DNS server apparently - just used the Google default DNS 8.8.8.8 - easy.
