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 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.

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.

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.

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'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.

I used my first brand new Weintek (Maple) cMT3072XH2v2 HMI earlier this year on a job that had a tight budget for a customer's in house/internal R & D project. I had been really wanting to try one anyway and this was the perfect opportunity. The application was very basic, so I did not get a chance to use any of it's more advanced features..... Next Time..... I believe that if you are an OEM and you use different platforms, (Rockwell, Siemens, Omron....) but basically you produce the same/similar equipment, then this HMI is going to save you engineering hours and $$$$..... My 2 cents.

Automation doesn't always need to be so expensive. I use and know the expensive brands often, and always will, but there is a need for what I've been developing. Here's my first demo video of the control library in action. Conveyor demo will be next. Follow JD Controls LLC, it'll be done hopefully next week. This is a mock up of a very simple batch control system. Adds 2 ingredients per recipe to a batch tank. Ingredients are totalized from flow. Transfers out to a filler. The intent is to demo the controls library, not to design an elaborate process. I'm a controls engineer, not a process engineer. Using a Weintek HMI and CODESYS North America, both with free software downloads, I created a library of PLC code and HMI templates/popups that includes many features I like from PlantPAx as well as other projects I've worked on over the years. Features include: •State Machine control using S88 standard •ISA101 - High Performance HMI color scale and design theory •Equipment Module sequencer control •Creation of "parameterized popups" as seen in higher priced HMI software - This took a lot of Codesys programming creativity •Permissive and Interlock objects for each controlled device - Forgot to show those popups in this demo video, oops! •Easily scalable for adding features/controls per customer request I'm taking the more affordable solutions and putting in the effort to make them look and feel like the higher priced solutions.

Having a little fun giving this controls library a makeover. At first I typically just focus on functionality, without making things too ugly, but understanding they will need some love in the future. The popups are due for some love. This is continuation of my "PlantPAx Lite" (I do need a better name for it) controls library using CODESYS North America and Weintek Easy Builder Pro HMI software. I'm developing a library very similar in look, feel, and functionality to PlantPAx, but much lighter - just covering the basics and easily scalable if the customer needs. OEMs, skid/machine builders, manufacturers - this is a very cost effective solution to your automation needs. No software contracts, more affordable hardware, and this solution is built to be programmed and deployed quickly.

I’ve had very good experiences with Weintek, must just be what you’re used to. From the budget HMI perspective I (personally) have yet to use something better. Their software is really robust and easy to use, multiple times a week they push updates to it fixing bugs and adding new features, I’ve never experienced support like that from Mitsubishi or Rockwell.

Weintek is very, very popular/common and have a great price point. I doubt you'll find many haters

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.

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.

Honestly they are all pretty good, under 10inch and standalone machine i go with the IE/iP series, simply because of the price, nothing comes close. Anything bigger or part of the PLC network I go with CMT X series, you can set them up to access all the CMT HMIs from any other CMT HMI, obviously all password protected but I have a headless CMT HMI in my office connected to a big monitor showing me every HMI on the plant, it's no replacement for a good scada system but it still allows me to make adjustments and monitor data at a glance without loading up or running extra applications on my laptop. But any of them will work, and that's the biggest benefit to me, 1 version of 1 application will do them all

It's a good product. Relatively affordable, powerful, and easy to use. We prefer them over Omron or AB screens because of cost and availability

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 products for over 14 years and I have only one word to describe this company, FANTASTIC. The Weintek range of industrial products provide Allen Bradley quality, with a feature set that can match some large-scale SCADA packages, all for a very low cost.

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.

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.

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! If you are in need of a more budget friendly solution to your automation problems, let's talk!

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!

Ops asked for 2 more… this system was easily expandable by using mini pc’s with VESA mounting to the monitor. Installed the cMT viewer application on the remote PC’s. Launched the apps and pointed it to the Headless HMI’s cMT server. Easy low cost solution. No proprietary licensing needed.

We have used Weintek for years and I have used for 25 . Had one firmware issue in that time. Great value and availability too.

Those weintek hmis are brilliant for the price. I've used them in loads of harsh environments and they seem to do well.

The cMT series is what I’ve been using for years. Very powerful devices! And… FREE SOFTWARE! Not to mention wientek has created YouTube videos on how to use their devices in tons of different applications. So that’s support at your fingertips!

I've only programmed a Mitsubishi PLC one time and it was a long time ago. At that time, the user interface was absolutely horrid. Hopefully they've improved since then. As for Weintek, I'm really a fan of what they're doing. I've got 2 Weintek HMIs here in my lab. One with Codesys. Is Codesys not an option for the PLC code? That's way easier to access and modify as it's a free download. Weinteks HMI software is also free. They make HMIs that run Codesys for just a $99 activation cost. So you don't need an extra piece of hardware for a PLC. It all lives on the HMI. If you've got questions about the Codesys and Weintek option feel free to message me.

Mitsu isn't fit to carry Siemens' briefcase. On the HMI side, I'd take Weintek over Siemens. Siemens' strong point is PLCs and drives.

I can speak to every hardware you mentioned. Mitsubishi is a good plc and their drives are nice. Siemens is a fully integrated hardware stack. But dollar for dollar the best option is the weintek panel with codesys.

I would go mits with the weintek. I would prefer rockwell myself for the PLC. Mitsubishi is not like rockwell meaning you will need to get used to it but I would prefer it over siemens. The software should be cheaper. The whole suite of mitsubishi software PLC and HMI Is like $500. If you have a distributor near you they should support you. You should require the software to be open to you after buyoff.

One of the biggest factors holding entry level techs and engineers back in this career, is the license fees. Its CRAZY, if they want to grow they will have to change, and Weintek is on the right track with this software. As a matter of fact eventually they will have to change or face huge financial loss because of it. Keep it up Weintek.

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.

Another HMI Replacement. I recently did another AB Panel View replacement. I tried to replace the internal battery like the error suggested but did not work. This HMI had been greatly modified from the original so it was not in my data base. Using another press program and buying some software was able to extract the tag information needed. Diversified can now replace any older HMI's like the one in the picture or any other outdate ones no longer supported by Allen Bradley. This has the potential for us to grow into almost any industry using Allen Bradley products. Got lucky on this one but if I have the original file can extract tag information for the new Weintek HMI Diversified uses.

I’ve used Weintek products since 2009, and have always been impressed with the quality and reliability of their products and software. As a distributor, Weintek USA has always provided excellent support both pre and post sale, and everyone I’ve dealt with there has always been very friendly, very professional and very knowledgeable. They've more than earned my 5 stars!

Agreed: High quality reliable products at great prices, but equally important is GREAT support, especially with those obscure "head-scratcher" issues that come up occasionally in complex projects. I'm sticking with Weintek!
