Weintek Love in the Wild
Richard Lisowski
President at JCS Automation Inc.
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 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.

Playing around with some of the other features in Weintek USA Easy Builder Pro software. They have an MQTT broker, this is pretty neat.
What you're seeing below is data from several IO Link sensors, all ifm sensors connected to a 4 port master. All of this is programmed in CODESYS North America Codesys 3.5 running on the HMI.
I set up an MQTT topic within Easy Builder Pro to publish the temperature sensor value to and the status of it being connected. This is set to publish every second.
Using MQTT.FX (you can get a free 90 day trial) on my laptop, I'm able to subscribe to that topic and see the data published.

Interesting! but I think that with a HMI Gateway, like CMT-3092x of Weintek USA, Inc. you can simplify the system architecture. Don't need node-red, don't need opc-ua. You can connect to the machine using 300 protocols available in CMT, next you can publish your variables in mqtt broker in one step.

Hi, I'm Jacob and #IamHAHN since 2020. I first joined HAHN Automation Group as a co-op student, completing three rotations between 2020 and 2021 while studying at the University of Cincinnati. After graduating, I started full time in May 2023 as a Controls Engineer in Software. In this role, I program and debug machines from power on through final shipment. I work with Allen Bradley PLCs, ROS2 systems in Ubuntu, HMIs (Allen Bradley and Weintek), Machine Vision Systems (Cognex and Keyence), and more.
Even early on, my time at HAHN was filled with learning and hands-on experience. Now, full time, it continues to be a rewarding journey with plenty of variety. What I appreciate most is that every day brings something new. I am constantly expanding my technical knowledge, improving my communication skills, and stepping into leadership opportunities through customer interaction and group coordination.
A standout moment was programming a show machine with Mecademic robots in my first year and traveling to the ATX Trade Show in California. It opened my eyes to the scale of the automation industry and gave me the chance to meet other integrators and vendors. Another proud achievement has been seeing a project through from start to finish and watching a machine ship out successfully.
My best experience at HAHN has been taking on a customer's new end of line functional tester. It is a significant departure from our typical project at HAHN, which made it especially fulfilling. Through this project, I gained valuable technical skills like Ubuntu, ROS2, EtherCAT, Python, MQTT, and Weintek HMI. I also formed connections with the customer's software team and have become HAHN’s go-to person for this technology which is great for my career growth and something I’m proud of.
