Project Update:
Successfully completed an automation project integrating a Siemens PLC (S7-1200, 1212C DC/DC/DC) with a Weintek HMI using TIA Portal and EasyBuilder Pro software.
š¹ Key Features:
Designed HMI screens to display breaker ON/OFF status in real time.
Configured a second HMI screen to show energy analyzer (ABB M4M20) data.
Established communication:
Energy Analyzer ā HMI: via Modbus RS-485
PLC ā HMI:via Ethernet
Used a VTEKE 220V AC relay as an input/output interface for the PLC to detect and display breaker status, enhancing understanding of PLC I/O operation.
This project strengthened my practical skills in industrial communication protocols, PLC I/O interfacing, and HMI-based system visualization.

In 2023, we commissioned a 12-Stand Continuous Rolling Line with the following specifications:
ā¢ Commissioned using Allen-Bradley CompactLogix PLC and FactoryTalk View SCADA.
ā¢ Ethernet IP communication Siemens AC Drives for Relay Lines, Cassette, Comb, Chains, Aramakas, and Profibus communication Sprint DC Drives for Rolling Stands and Reel.
ā¢ Monitoring and control provided with FactoryTalk View SCADA and Weintek HMI.
ā¢ Ethernet switches for short-distance RIO and drive communications, and fiber optic switches for distances of 50 meters and above.
ā¢ A Recipe application was prepared using VisualBasic Script via SCADA for storing parameters related to pulled products.
ā¢ A Reporting system was prepared using SQL-supported Weintek HMI and MSSQL for remote access and statistics.

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.
