Mundial S.A
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.

— Programmed with macros, used for the calculation, treatment, consolidation and optimization of critical variables.
— Interfaces designed in EasyBuilder Pro for intuitive, responsive, and operator-oriented visualization.
🔹 Data acquisition from Schneider Quantum PLC
— Direct consumption of data on power, flow, levels, MWh, generation curves and mission-critical electrical parameters.
— Standardization of protocols and optimization of data structures for reliable WAN performance.
🔹 WAN Communications Infrastructure and Central Broker
— Each exchange sends its data in real time to a single node, with optimized telemetry and packet management.
— Low latency, redundancy, security and full traceability are ensured.
🔹 WeinCloud Cloud Platform – Executive Dashboards
— 24/7 remote monitoring, with just a link to the Weincloud web platform.

🚀 Smart Monitoring Center: Connecting Generation in Real Time
Key advance in the project: Intelligent Monitoring Center, designed to integrate and supervise in real time the Cumbayá, Nayón, Pasochoa, Guangopolo, Gualberto Hernández Thermal Power Plant (broker) and soon the Hidrovictoria Power Plant.
The system is based on advanced Weintek model cMT-FHDX-820 HMI devices, programmed with macros in C language for the calculation and processing of production and consumption data. In addition, the graphical interface was developed in Easy Builder Pro and the information was taken from a Quantum Shcneider PLC in each plant. Each central is connected through a WAN network, sending its critical variables to a central node, and all the information is stored and visualized on the WeinCloud web platform, through executive dashboards.
🔹 Key Benefits:
✅ Real-time monitoring of critical electrical and mechanical parameters.
✅ Centralized and remote management of operational information.
✅ Greater resilience and continuity of the electricity system.
✅ Optimized daily and monthly reports in the cloud.
✅ Preparation for a scalable, digital and sustainable model.
The integration of state-of-the-art hardware, specialized programming, and cloud platforms paves the way for more efficient, secure, and reliable energy management. 🌍⚡

I require remote access to my projects that are away from home. I did some homework and decided that Weintek looked to have a good solution. Set up my first Weintek touch screen yesterday. I set up a domain on Weincloud - free. A secure VPN connection. I had purchased a remote access card when I purchased the screen - about $90 AUD. I set up the screen with appropriate IP addresses - modem was connected complete with an inexpensive data only SIM card - entered modem IP address as appropriate - rebooted the touch screen and clicked add screen on the cloud interface. I added the hardware number of the screen and the serial number on the access card and viola - I was connected to the screen via EasyAccess software and Weintek CMT viewer. Operating switches and the like. The hardware number and access card number are locked together. My PLC was connected to the second Ethernet port on the touch screen and my laptop was connected to the PLC as well through a switch and I was online to the PLC. I clicked on 'pass through' on the cloud connection - added the IP address of the PLC - the software noted that there already was a connection to the PLC (my laptop) - said it would be disconnected - clicked OK - my laptop Ethernet connectiion was disconnected and was then connected through the modem/cloud connection - absolutely seamless. I think back to how I used to have to connect with expensive Extranet cards - having to use a DNS server to find out the public IP address or have an expensive VPN account and program the modem mystery bag - do routing tables in the PLC software - painfull. Very impressed and the screens are not expensive - graphics pretty good as well - a heap of drivers for just about any PLC brand. I did not have to do any programming in the modem either - its default IP address was out of the way of everything so no need. In this case I used a Teleorigin modem but guess that probably any brand would do. Many have a default IP address of 192.168.1.1 which is inconvenient as that is the default address of most routers as well so the IP address would need to be changed before connecting to anything. Now on to discovering about the email feature from the screen through Weincloud using a SMTP mail server. Then on to push messages to mobiles with EasyAccess running on them. My customer will also have access to the screen from mobile phones and computers using the EasyAccess app - everyone is happy. Next one will be setup next week - will have to put together a detailed instruction sheet for my colleagues. Red Lion have a solution of course but it is so expensive and does not appear to have all the features Weintek does have.

I designed and implemented a straightforward yet highly effective Live Cloud Monitoring System for my organization. Leveraging the CMT Series of Weintek HMI, with the Easy Access function activated, I established seamless remote access to our Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) for monitoring and troubleshooting, eliminating the necessity for additional VPN and server configurations.
Furthermore, I utilized the Weincloud Dashboard to incorporate 20 PLC Tags into a Web-Based HMI, as depicted below. Finally, I authored a PHP script to seamlessly embed the Weincloud HMI within our private domain.
In Malaysia, the adoption of IoT tools remains relatively limited compared to their widespread utilization in Western industrial contexts. However, I firmly believe that these tools exhibit considerable stability and prevalence in Western industries. It behooves us to embrace this technology and venture beyond conventional frameworks rather than expending resources on foundational development. By doing so, we can expedite our development processes and mitigate operational downtime. Is there any harm in exploring new avenues? 😉
