Few screen shots of a Weintek cmtx HMI I have just done to replace an old schneider HMI that had lost its touch. also went from Modbus RS485 to TCP/IP. A much cleaner layout then before and even put together a small user manual, which I will put on the HMI using the bult-in pdf viewer. #Weintek

Stepping into the world of HMI for the first time! 🛠️ This week, I took on a new challenge: integrating a Weintek HMI touch screen into my control system. Despite it being my first time working with this hardware, I managed to get it fully operational in just 2 days. Key Progress: • Seamless Communication: Established Modbus TCP connectivity through a network switch. • Data Visualization: Successfully mapped 22 sensor values and 8 actuator settings for real-time monitoring. • Mobile Integration: Topped it off this afternoon by implementing Bluetooth on the controller board, enabling full system access via smartphones and tablets. I'm excited about how quickly this interface came together. It’s amazing to see how modern HMI tools can streamline industrial workflows when you dive right in!

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.

💧 COD Water Monitoring — Integrating Weintek HMI & Schneider PLC
In wastewater treatment systems, the Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) value is a crucial parameter that must be reported to the Ministry of Environment (KLHK) to ensure that wastewater is properly managed and does not harm the environment.
Recently, I completed a COD Water Monitoring project where the COD values are displayed in real-time on a Weintek HMI and automatically control valves through a Schneider PLC.
I developed both the PLC program and the HMI interface myself, using Modbus TCP for seamless two-way communication between the devices.
To prevent corrosion in humid environments, I used a polycarbonate panel enclosure. This material provides better resistance to moisture and mild chemicals, making it an ideal choice for automation systems in water treatment areas.
💡 Lesson learned:
Through this project, I realized that simplicity in HMI design plays a vital role — a clear and informative interface allows operators to quickly understand the system condition and operate it efficiently without confusion.
Industrial automation is not only about efficiency but also a commitment to protecting our environment 🌍.

I’m grateful to have been part of the development process of Bank Indonesia’s data center. I had the opportunity to work as a system programmer on the chiller leakage line, where I integrated 253 leakage sensors from ICPDAS using the Modbus RTU protocol and programmed them with Weintek HMI as the alert and logging system. This was a significant opportunity for me to contribute as an engineer involved in the project.

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.

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 use the MT8xxxie series all the time and communicate with multiple PLCs over Ethernet at the same time. I have one 15” HMI pulling from AB and Mitsubishi at the same time so I can check on machines. I also have another that acts like a go between for a modbus power monitor and an AB PLC. Edit to add: I was very sceptical about Weintek when I first used one - a guy I know that runs another plant told me about them. I’ve had one of their HMIs running for about 4 years now, no problems at all. I now have several running 24/7 364 and I can’t say I’ve ever really had an issue with them. They are easier to work on than our PanelView HMIs (far better software IMO), so as our panel views get damaged I replace them with Weintek.

I have used their advanced series HMI which has a Codesys runtime on it before. It worked just fine, though the customer required LD and I am not a fan of the Codesys LD editor. I have also used a ton of their iR series remote I/O racks. They are one of my go-to solutions when I need to add I/O to a Modbus or EIP PLC.

I'd recommend Weintek as you can activate a codesys powered PLC within their HMI, I'm currently programming it to communicate with a modbus TCP IO card

Yes Weintek can drive any modbus relay board. You can use weintek IR-ETN40R.

Project Highlight: Furnace Monitoring System – Chemistry Lab, ITB
As part of the Engineering team at PT Daun Biru Engineering, I had the opportunity to take the lead as Project Manager for the successful installation and integration of a Furnace Monitoring System at the Chemistry Laboratory of Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB).
The project was executed at the Chemistry Laboratory of Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB) in Bandung, on March 24–25, 2025, for our client Dr. Carolus Borromeus Rasrendra, Head of the Chemistry Lab. The scope of work included the replacement of 13 temperature controllers (Autonics TK4S and TK4L series), integration of temperature data from both Autonics controllers and Fuji recorders via the Modbus protocol, and the setup of centralized data acquisition using a Weintek HMI, which served as a data logger and trend monitoring interface. Additional tasks involved panel baseplate modification, structured cabling, and the installation of supporting components such as a PC All-in-One (AIO), UPS, and DIN-rail accessories. In total, the system enabled real-time logging and monitoring of 25 temperature points across two independent reactor systems.
This system enhances ITB’s lab operations with accurate, real-time furnace temperature monitoring and historical trend data — supporting their chemical research activities with better traceability and control.
Appreciate the support from the ITB Chemistry Lab and the amazing team at PT Daun Biru Engineering for making this project a success.

Been learning motion control with Codesys. using Ethercat servo's, Something I've always wanted to do but never had the time or space at work.
So bought a 3 axis router frame kit. modified it to take servo motors. and jumped on in.
It's been a very cool project and a great project to learn on.
Still lots of small functionality to program in. but its operational.
Just done the auto tool zero, so at the push of a button on the HMI it will measure the height of the tooling and offset correctly to the set cut depth.
Check out.
