Weintek Love in the Wild

The Weintek HMI/Scada units are awesome. The Weintek units out of the box out perform and out "Feature" all others. The EBPro software is free. SQL, OPC-UA, MQTT are built in with Internal scripting, and JavaScript. The HMIs can be linked to each other to allow updates as well as programmatic recipe/SQL/DB updates across all units on the network. Plus Weintek has moved on from the 1980's graphic images everyone else is using. There is much, much, more. Give them a try you will be happy you did.

I really like Weintek's products, cost benefit, high technology and secrets that I have unraveled that not even the tutorials explain that it is possible. CMT Line: Remote Access, Web Page, with native MQTT talking directly to AWS, AZURE, serves as supervisory. G01 this gateway is fantastic: it serves for any integrated modbus server PLC, native MQTT and OPC UA with 15 thousand tags without licensing, very easy integration with SCADA, talks with SQL server database, and My SQL, and the best thing is that it creates the tables without you having to configure anything, just the communication, it can simulate OFF LINE that EBPRO simulates as a physical hmi interface. FHDX 820: serves as mini SCADA without the use of an industrial PC, perhaps the only difference is that it does not have a Java script, but it has a macro that solves a lot, animations, alarms, events, recipes, it even triggers the PLC of different machines and without paying a license. EASYACCESS 2.0: remote access works miracles, it is possible to access the entire network and not just the HMI in question, firewall does not exist for it. WEINCLOUD.NET: Low-cost web SCADA creation per tag And the possibility of the entire CMT line becoming PLC codesys by activating license, very low cost.

I have significant experience in configuring and programming Weintek panels. The last my valuable result is ready-to-use Javascript code that enables to save all tags (external like PLC or HMI itself) as JSON-file. This is a good approach to save all data as by human readable text. The structure of JSON-file can be flexible configured, divided to sections (aggregate objects), sub-sections, sub-sub-sections... The depth of hierarchy is not limited. Sure, this JSON-file can be used as for SAVE/RESTORE all config-environment of your system.

I installed it in the sewage water treatment plant Because the Weintek HMIs offer several advantages, including a wide range of models and protocols, robust connectivity, user-friendly software, and advanced features like remote access and cloud connectivity.

🚀 Smart Monitoring Center: Connecting Generation in Real Time Key advance in the project: Intelligent Monitoring Center, designed to integrate and supervise in real time the Cumbayá, Nayón, Pasochoa, Guangopolo, Gualberto Hernández Thermal Power Plant (broker) and soon the Hidrovictoria Power Plant. The system is based on advanced Weintek model cMT-FHDX-820 HMI devices, programmed with macros in C language for the calculation and processing of production and consumption data. In addition, the graphical interface was developed in Easy Builder Pro and the information was taken from a Quantum Shcneider PLC in each plant. Each central is connected through a WAN network, sending its critical variables to a central node, and all the information is stored and visualized on the WeinCloud web platform, through executive dashboards. 🔹 Key Benefits: ✅ Real-time monitoring of critical electrical and mechanical parameters. ✅ Centralized and remote management of operational information. ✅ Greater resilience and continuity of the electricity system. ✅ Optimized daily and monthly reports in the cloud. ✅ Preparation for a scalable, digital and sustainable model. The integration of state-of-the-art hardware, specialized programming, and cloud platforms paves the way for more efficient, secure, and reliable energy management. 🌍⚡

🚀 Excited to share one of my recent automation projects! I successfully automated a Liquid Filling and Cap Sealing Machine using a Fatek PLC and Weintek HMI. Additionally, I wrote a custom macro in Weintek HMI to integrate with the BC105 Thermal Printer, enabling automatic printing of batch parameters. 📄 Now, whenever a batch is completed, operators can simply press a button on the HMI and the machine will instantly print the parameters. ✅ This ensures complete transparency – eliminating any possibility of manipulation. ✅ Operators and management can instantly verify whether the batch meets requirements or if there are any shortcomings according to the machine’s performance. 💡 The most rewarding part? I was able to deliver this entire project within just 2 days– meeting both the technical and time-sensitive demands of the client. This project was developed for a pharmaceutical company, where reliability, accuracy, and compliance are absolutely critical.

Weintek HMIs have some really powerful features - I've used the macro functionality before but I just started messing around with the Java Script Object. It's designed for completely custom graphics which I love since most HMIs built in objects aren't the best... Here is a link to the SDK if curious: lnkd.in/gWDxQU7M I need to spend some more time testing its functionality and limitations but currently it seems pretty sweet!

This screen has some amazing features. Multi touch, hand gesture recognition, swiping left and right, etc. Just a killer deal for the money.

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!

Update on the animation projects for the machine system we are fabbing now. this project is about a month out from finished. we are building the pusher in the bottom shop now and and I an working on the HMI and code. this should be clean and as always, Weintek and Keith Moyer has knocked it out of the park with this product!

In this stage, we commissioned the functionality of four Centronik valves equipped with electronic positioners, utilizing Profibus DP as the communication protocol between our Siemens CPU 1200 series and the associated equipment. The project also involved integrating temperature and pressure sensors and developing a user-friendly HMI interface for the end user. Our team was actively involved in every stage of the project, starting from electrical work, cable pulling and marking, and lighting system setup, to PLC software development. Additionally, we provided comprehensive training to the beneficiary's personnel to ensure the proper operation and efficient utilization of the installation. For the HMI development, we leveraged Weintek technology, a versatile solution offering advanced features, including the ability to import user-defined symbols to enhance the interface's functionality and customization.

I started working with Weintek a very long time ago (EasyBuilder 8000, when it was just becoming relevant). Back then, I mainly worked on Siemens, Omron, and Pro-face HMIs. Since then, I've witnessed many changes in the HMI and SCADA field, and Weintek continues to impress with its innovations. I've seen European companies increasingly adopting Weintek right before my eyes. The learning curve is very low initially, but as a specialist grows, Weintek keeps offering more and more advanced capabilities. I truly hope this trend continues!

Progress is coming along well on developing a controls library of Codesys code with corresponding HMI graphics. I'm keeping it all very basic for now but the way this is being developed leaves it easy to scale up for adding more features for device control. With Codesys and Easy Builder Pro both being a free software download, no worrying about expensive software contracts to troubleshoot code or make modifications. These HMIs can run Codesys, so there's no need for an extra piece of hardware as a PLC. Over the next few months I will be demonstrating more devices as I develop them, state machine and sequencer control of automation, and recipe integration. Weintek USA, Inc. CODESYS North America

They're great HMIs and I love being able to use Codesys with them. Costs me nothing to do all the learning and building I want. I'm developing something similar to PlantPAx, just not near as heavy and convoluted. Trying to get all the basics for each device type and make it so it's easy to scale up if a customer wants more features.

My first experience with Weintek HMI's was with exactly Maple Systems and Steven Engineering ~15 years ago. There was an older gentleman at STEVEN that walked me through the process of migrating a Mitsubishi HMI to the Weintek HMI5070TH and even helped me write some complex macros. That level of support hooked me on Weintek's HMI's ever since, where now we're using the advanced networking features of the cMT line as an edge device to connect to our cloud servers for near-real-time data logging, analysis & visualization. So getting back to your question, I prefer contacting the manufacturer directly, or a distributor that is highly technical. In this case, both Steven and Maple are very capable sources of support. Sure, I could spend a few hours researching myself, but you just can't beat years of experience and knowledge to kick-start your path. I find that the newer grads have a strong resistance to using this channel, so I let them struggle a bit on their own, then suggest this approach. Manufacturers spend a lot of resources training and grooming their techs, so why not take advantage of them?
