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.

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.

One of my favorite HMI design projects was the graphical interface for a palletizer machine. Although I didn’t have enough time to refine every detail as I wanted, it still remains one of my favorite designs — a balance between simplicity, usability, and visual appeal. It was also a great experience working with Weintek HMIs, and despite the tight schedule, I truly enjoyed the design and testing process. I’m also really glad to have collaborated with Tayebe khani , the project supervisor — her guidance and support played a big role in moving the project forward. For me, HMI design isn’t just about arranging buttons; it’s about creating an experience that feels right for the operator.

🖥️ Exploring Smart Control with Weintek HMI (MT8121XE) In modern industrial automation, HMI (Human Machine Interface) plays a vital role in bridging operators and PLC systems. Recently, I’ve been working with the Weintek MT8121XE HMI — a 12.1” high-performance touch panel that offers fast response, clear visualization, and smooth integration with Mitsubishi PLC (R16 series) using EasyBuilder Pro software. This HMI provides: 🔹 Real-time monitoring of conveyor operations 🔹 Alarm management and event tracking 🔹 Data logging and trend visualization 🔹 User-friendly interface for manual and auto control Currently applying this system in Cargo Terminal Conveyor Management at Export Cargo Terminal (Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport). where visualization and reliability are key to continuous operations. Automation isn’t only about programming — it’s about making control smarter, simpler, and more connected.

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.

The use of recipe data records accelerates and simplifies operation in production. Recipe management is just one of the many powerful features of our Weintek HMIs.

Adisa-Proyectos delivers two filtration plants for different customers, with the control of the installation carried out entirely on a remote SOFREL plant. The novelty, in our case, is that a control PLC (Siemens or Schneider) is not installed, but the remote itself does all the sequencing and management of the installation (Auto/Man, Sequences, Mov. Manuals, Instructions, alarms, etc.). ✔️ S4W Remote. ✔️ Weintek HMI. ✔️ PCWIN2 control center. In addition, taking advantage of the fact that all the information is taken to a PCWIN2 and that the weintek HMI has a webserver, the HMI screen is embedded in the PCWIN2.

🚀 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.

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!
