Weintek Love in the Wild

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.

Presentation of a project that covers the entire technology stack, from the physical sensor to the analytics dashboard. The goal is to transform raw data into a powerful tool for comparing and optimizing production processes.
Solution architecture:
1️⃣ Robust Data Acquisition (PLC): A PLC cyclically samples over 100 process variables. To handle lossless communication to the database, FIFO logic has been implemented that buffers samples.
2️⃣ Secure Communication (HMI): A Weintek HMI acts as a gateway and communicates with the PLC through a "handshake" mechanism: the HMI writes data to the MySQL database, waits for confirmation of writing, and only then does the PLC send the next data. This ensures zero data loss.
3️⃣ Backend (PHP/MySQL): A PHP script connects to the database to extract the required data efficiently.
4️⃣ Frontend and Data Visualization (JavaScript/Chart.js): The heart of the project is a web dashboard developed for:
- Select up to 3 datasets from completely different time periods.
- Overlay the graphs to visually compare the progress of the processes.
- Calculate key statistics (maximum, minimum, mean, and standard deviation) in real-time to measure process stability.
- Set visual alarm thresholds to immediately identify anomalies.
This tool transforms historical data into immediate insights, allowing you to answer questions such as: "Was yesterday's processing more stable than last week's?"

Always wanted to test the HMI’s. I used the headless HMI’s(FHDX) and the servers(SVR) a lot in the past. Very powerful and competitively priced!

Weintek stuff , i don't use It as a HMI i always use the cmt line as a Bridge betwenr diferent PLC and comunication protocols , it's a no brainer easy to use and cheap

I have had good luck with the newer ones. The first gen 3090 maybe had a issue with the Ethernet dhcp, but the newer ones and the svr 200 series have worked well. I'm about to deploy 20 of the newer svr units to act as data aggregators and iot gateways
