Weintek Love in the Wild
Two HMIs Somatic and WeinTek connected to one PLC via OPC UA and S7 Protocol. This can be implemented with many UI/HMI throughout the facility.

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.

OPC UA Communication Test: Weintek HMI and two Siemens S7-1200 PLCs
I have successfully completed a crucial communication test:
- Devices: One Weintek HMI as a client and two Siemens S7-1200 PLCs as a server.
- Protocol: OPC UA for data exchange.
-Verification: I used UAExpert to monitor and confirm the data flow in real-time.
The test demonstrated the robustness of the system and the effectiveness of the OPC UA protocol for handling complex automation architectures that include devices from different manufacturers.

Water Cooled Chiller System by PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) Omron and operated via HMI (Human-Machine Interface) Weintek
The objective of this project is the design and implementation of a SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system for a Water-Cooled Chiller System through the integration of industrial-grade hardware and software. The system models the air cooling process via water circulation, managed by an Omron PLC and operated through a Weintek HMI. Real-time monitoring is facilitated by an OPC UA server and client framework, with supporting software including CX-Programmer, KEPServerEX, and EasyBuilder.
The developed system has been successfully realized with features of automated control, real-time monitoring, and dependable fault management. The seamless integration of PLC, HMI, and OPC UA illustrates the efficiency of SCADA technology in industrial cooling applications. The project underscores the critical role of integrated system design in enhancing energy performance and ensuring operational reliability.
