Weintek Love in the Wild
I just had an introductory call for a new partnership and here is why they reached out to us:
“Every time we’re at a trade show, doesn’t matter where in the US, someone has a Weintek HMI and they do nothing but rave about it.”
It is such a pleasure representing a brand that carries this type of reputation - and I 100% believe you can't pay for this or market your way into it.

Weintek USA, Inc. Comms with HMIs get tricky when you add more than one. Sounds like y'all have made an easy solution. If you make a time machine, let me know. I'd like to go back put this in a few places ❤

Interesting! but I think that with a HMI Gateway, like CMT-3092x of Weintek USA, Inc. you can simplify the system architecture. Don't need node-red, don't need opc-ua. You can connect to the machine using 300 protocols available in CMT, next you can publish your variables in mqtt broker in one step.

We use Weintek HMIs along Omron PLCs, but I think that for some applications which only use modbus TCP/RT and calculations, would be enough with just the HMI.

I'd recommend Weintek as you can activate a codesys powered PLC within their HMI, I'm currently programming it to communicate with a modbus TCP IO card

I've used the cMT-3072 for a couple of simple project for remote control. They have a free VPN you can use. As long as the HMI has a connection to the Internet, you can log into the screen with the iPhone app or your PC.

cMT3092x: I have been eyeing this model since this summer(it is a newer model and from the videos online it looks really good), but haven't gotten a project yet that needs it. Right now I'm using a Weintek MT8050iE with a CLICK PLC and I'm thoroughly impressed. Given the price you pay and the options you have, I think it is leagues ahead of the competition. With that being said, the HMI programming software Easybuilder Pro has a little bit of a learning curve. If you spend a little bit of time watching a couple of Youtube videos you should be up and going in no time.

I have used their advanced series HMI which has a Codesys runtime on it before. It worked just fine, though the customer required LD and I am not a fan of the Codesys LD editor. I have also used a ton of their iR series remote I/O racks. They are one of my go-to solutions when I need to add I/O to a Modbus or EIP PLC.

I use the MT8xxxie series all the time and communicate with multiple PLCs over Ethernet at the same time. I have one 15” HMI pulling from AB and Mitsubishi at the same time so I can check on machines. I also have another that acts like a go between for a modbus power monitor and an AB PLC. Edit to add: I was very sceptical about Weintek when I first used one - a guy I know that runs another plant told me about them. I’ve had one of their HMIs running for about 4 years now, no problems at all. I now have several running 24/7 364 and I can’t say I’ve ever really had an issue with them. They are easier to work on than our PanelView HMIs (far better software IMO), so as our panel views get damaged I replace them with Weintek.

I am a HUGE proponent of Weintek and EBPro. The software is far better than any AB's HMI software, and the capability is far better than any of AB's capabilities. Also, I'll roll in my minimum amount of knowledge with Unitronics.

Wow I love it already. We got a new machine with an HMI no ones heard of (weintek) and I immediately cringed because I assumed it would be another license expenditure.

What the... we currently are using weintek with Siemens s7-1500 Easy builder pro 6.10.01.217 and up imports everything automatically with one click also we also use it to pass info from Siemens to Allen Bradley PLC PS as you can suggest we usually use only Allen Bradley with weintek combo it's waaaaaaaaay better then anything with the label Siemens on it

Even easier for 1200/1500 plcs Make optimized DBs, import the whole tia project to weintek project by Import tags button, done. All DBs and M flags are there as separate hmi tags. Repeat if you need it.

If you need extreme cold, already considering Weintek and need 7", they just released a low temp version. cMT3072XHTL. A pi based HMI will be about half the cost, but if durability and low-temp operability are required, the price of it isn't bad and it can use the web browser object in EBPro. You won't find much for industrial touch screens with large temp ratings and enough brains to host a web page that will be less than $500.

okay, If anyone stumble across this looking for similar requirement. Here is the option I'm going forward with: Weintek cMT3072X2, it is the only viable and cheap option for this requirement. The HMI supports HTML5 and PLC web browser object (these 2 are necessary for hosting any website). Note: not all cMT series from Weintek support web browser, only the advanced versions do.

I have around a dozen in use, with Mitsubishi and AB PLCs. Love em. I 100% recommend them, I’ve yet to have one fail and they’ve been in use for 5ish years, 24/7 364.

I absolutely love them. They work better with AB PLCs than Panelviews do. Easybuilder Pro can read tags from an L5x file, and even read tags directly from a connected PLC.

We're an OEM and use Maple Systems which are rebranded Weintek. We were using Delta and before that Red Lion and while the others have better built-in features you can do a lot more with the Weintek in EBPro

Used their cMTx series several times with AB PLCs and have never had any issues. I actually prefer them over AB HMIs. They have a lot of functionality and are pretty easy to set up. Just export your tags from Studio 5000 and import them as a csv into EasyBuilder Pro.

The world of controls has no shortage of headaches. Cool tools and some key tips can help alleviate some of the common ones.
Today I was playing with using config files for Weintek USA, Inc. HMIs for a standardized product we have. In the project I also disabled the start button to access the HMI system screen. I added a hidden button to activate it but dyslexia caught up with me and I didn't notice the address was incorrect before downloading.
Once rebooted, attempted logins via CODESYS North America were unsuccessful. LAN1 is controlled by the Codesys runtime when installed and I had forgotten the check box to have Codesys update the adapter IP as I wasn't talking with remote IO yet anyway. LAN2 was set to use DHCP, but a quick scan did not show it on the network. Uh oh...
I looked down and saw my IP-Explorer from TW Controls. Plugged it in and within seconds had the IP address needed to connect to the HMI and fix my errors.
But now I'd have to adjust my adapter settings. Where did windows move them with the latest update? Doesn't matter, after the training from Traceroute, "run>ncpa.cpl" is engrained into my daily life. A small tidbit that over a lifetime will save humanity hours of wasted time.
Small wins add up.

I use a lot of Weintek HMIs. They can like the automation direct C communicate with almost anything. They are relatively inexpensive and come with a lot of features. There are some quality of life stuff lacking in setting them up but generally they are quite excellent. For a facless one they start at 120 GBP and a 15" one will run you about 1,000-1,100. They communicate with just about anything so I have been using them to communicate with GE products, modbus (TCP & RTS RS485), Allen Bradley & ASCII over TCP. The HMI programming software is free so you can download it and set up an HMI, run a simulation on your PC and see if you like it. They have a lot of YouTube videos on how to set everything up. Allen Bradley products generally communicate using Ethernet/IP protocols and not Modbus. We also use a lot of FactoryTalk products but generally you get about 1/4 as much and have limited functionality. If all you want to do is communicate with AB than it's a good option. Programming them between multiple is a pain as the files are stored on your computer and challenging to transfer so you need to create a backup and transfer it that way..

I have used Weintek for at least 10 years now. Hundreds of HMI deployments over many industries and in some harsh conditions. Recently I’ve been doing some building automation stuff using the more advanced versions of the HMIs with Codesys. and the iR IO modules.
Also, lately I’ve been working at things like remote connections with the headless SVRX HMIs and EasyAccess2.0.
I really enjoy using the Weintek equipment and hope to have many more opportunities with it.

Technical debt can sneak up on you and flexibility is key when combating it.
Our original simple level monitoring panel was written in a simple cost-effective PLC with fixed memory programming. This was fine for minimal features and only four sensors.
When it needed to be expanded to accommodate more sensors and features, dev time and potential errors shot up exponentially and compromises would have to be made.
We use Codesys almost exclusively for our bigger projects and initially I felt it was overkill for this. Fortunately, we had already upgraded to using a Weintek HMI and that opened the door for easy Codesys integration.
The cost-effective PLC was converted to remote IO, Codesys license added to the HMI and the program was rewritten in 1/10th of the time with no compromises made. Future requests will also be easy to accommodate due to the power of Codesys.

I think the headless HMI where you provide your own screen is a very cool idea, and so far as I know, Weintek pioneered it. Kudos.

Been up north commissioning a Couple of Weintek cMTX 10" HMI for a Sick Flexi-Soft safety system at a timber mill, as part of the sites machinery safety upgrades. I designed the HMI's with some basic site layouts for each safety zone and device locations to make it easier on production staff in the event of a fault or safety device activation. As well as some bus error diagnostics and fault logs for the maintenance team. Weintek HMI's can connect directly to the Sick safety controller with their flexi-Soft driver and with the tags exported from the safety logic makes connection between them a breeze.

Excited to share the details of a recent project I worked on!
Designed and implemented a complete monitoring and control system. Here’s what we accomplished:
- Used sensors for temperature, humidity, and differential pressure in each tank.
- Two valves for each tank —one for gas purging and the other for exhaust.
- Designed a pressure-controlled system where the upper and lower pressure limits (set via a Weintek HMI) controlled the system operations.
- Added user-defined upper and lower limits for temperature, pressure, and humidity, with alarms for all these parameters.
- Configured digital feedback for valve statuses (open, closed, or intermediate), displayed on the HMI system monitor for real-time tracking.
- Implemented datalogging to record valve operations (open/close) and high/low alarms for pressure, temperature, and humidity.
-Developed real-time graphs for pressure, temperature, and humidity on the HMI to monitor trends and system behavior visually.
- Also added feature for remote monitoring and control using Easy access 2.0.
This project was an incredible experience, combining automation, real-time monitoring, and data management into a robust and user-friendly system!
Excited to share the details of a recent project I worked on!
Designed and implemented a complete monitoring and control system. Here’s what we accomplished:
- Used sensors for temperature, humidity, and differential pressure in each tank.
- Two valves for each tank —one for gas purging and the other for exhaust.
- Designed a pressure-controlled system where the upper and lower pressure limits (set via a Weintek HMI) controlled the system operations.
- Added user-defined upper and lower limits for temperature, pressure, and humidity, with alarms for all these parameters.
- Configured digital feedback for valve statuses (open, closed, or intermediate), displayed on the HMI system monitor for real-time tracking.
- Implemented datalogging to record valve operations (open/close) and high/low alarms for pressure, temperature, and humidity.

I've been enjoying getting familiar with Weintek USA, Inc. Easy Builder Pro HMI software. This is just about finished with design and simulating the sequencer code (customer logo redacted in the top left).
Below is the HMI for an inspection system with a robot to sort good/bad parts after inspection. I also wrote all the PLC code for this and did the electrical design. Can't wait to see it all in action.
Creating what most of us would refer to as parameterized popups in Easy Builder Pro is quite different from what I'm used to with other platforms. After a short call with tech support to explain what I was after, we reached a solution.
For automation systems with a limited budget, Weintek is quite a value compared to other platforms. In addition to the hardware cost being very competitive, the software is free to download, free to use, and tech support is free. No extra costs for your controls techs to view/troubleshoot code.
Not to mention these units can also run Codesys for PLC programming!

I have two of their headless units in my lab for a customer, and I agree that they're super good for the free software and long list of drivers! Their documentation could be better around the fine details of some of their objects though

One thing I want to do with my business is get more familiar with cost friendly platforms for your automation solutions.
Hey if you want (won't mention names), I've programmed more of those than anything else over my career and I'm happy to do it more. However, not every automation project has the budget, or the justification, for those costs.
Over the years I've seen several automation projects die at the budgetary discussion phase because of the cost of hardware and software.
I want to be able to offer solutions that fit those budgets and Weintek USA, Inc. is a great solution for that.
Thanks Brendon Schultz for great tech support when I had questions along the learning curve. Especially the parameterized popups!

What would you do if you needed to measure high frequency inputs in a PLC-based application?
In my experience, I always prefer to relieve the PLC of this burden and utilize a separate module for high-frequency measurements. For example, I recently investigated the capabilities of the new Weintek iR-PU01-P module, which can receive pulse input at up to 2MHz, and the findings were extremely positive. Despite the fact that the PU01-P is a 1-axis module designed for motion control, it has proven to be an extremely useful solution for measuring simple high frequency pulses from our TCS product flow meters in our fuel additive injection calibration loop, improving performance, reducing PLC load, and increasing accuracy and scalability.

Great things come in small packages.
These compact panels are headed out to various sites for monitoring grain bin levels with VEGA Americas, Inc. radar levels sensors and Weintek USA, Inc. HMIs.
A few have some simple extra logic that was requested such as stacklight operation, auto swap between bins based on level and auto shutdown based on amperage.
Custom routed enclosures from Polycase, Inc. keeps things neat and professional.

Existing customer called with a problem, their project was being delayed by control panel lead times. A basic lead/lag pump panel based on level.
The spec called for relay logic, indicator lights and mercury switches. With customer approval we updated this to modern times with a VEGA Americas, Inc. radar level sensor, PLC control and Weintek USA, Inc. HMI for easy user adjustments and remote operation.
Designed, assembled and programmed in 10% of the originally quoted timeframe. Can't always knock them out this quick, but when the timing allows and the programs are straightforward, things move quick.

The Weintek line is fantastic for the dough. Price point is comparable to automation direct, but it's connectivity and software set it miles ahead of Cmore in my opinion. FYI, I'm not a salesman, just like their stuff.
