What is your HMI software called?
The software used to program all current Weintek HMIs is called EasyBuilder Pro or EB pro; legacy units may use EasyBuilder 8000 or EasyBuilder 500.
The software used to program all current Weintek HMIs is called EasyBuilder Pro or EB pro; legacy units may use EasyBuilder 8000 or EasyBuilder 500.
Why is EasyBuilder Pro free?
There’s a common misconception that free software isn’t high-quality, but that’s not in any way true for ours. EasyBuilder Pro is loaded with advanced features like SQL, MQTT, scripting, and the ability to design custom UI components using JavaScript. In addition, we support over 400 industrial communication protocols.

If EasyBuilder Pro indicates that a different firmware revision is needed to use a specific feature, please contact su*****@********sa.com for assistance with upgrading the unit.
Does Weintek sell panel PCs or IPCs?
Weintek does not offer any units with a Windows OS, commonly called panel PCs or IPCs. Instead, our HMIs use a Linux-based OS optimized for running projects developed with EasyBuilder Pro. Additionally, we offer HMIs that function as thin-client devices, running either a built-in web browser or the cMT Viewer app.

Each device with an active EasyAccess 2.0 license will be allotted 3 GB of high-speed data each month for free. This data can be used to update to the HMI or PLC or monitor the HMI using cMT-Viewer, VNC, or HMI Viewer. If the 3 GB threshold is exceeded in a given month the connection […]
Each device with an active EasyAccess 2.0 license will be allotted 3 GB of high-speed data each month for free. This data can be used to update to the HMI or PLC or monitor the HMI using cMT-Viewer, VNC, or HMI Viewer. If the 3 GB threshold is exceeded in a given month the connection speed will be throttled and a “snail” icon will be displayed. However, it must be stated that it is quite difficult to exceed this threshold.
What happens if I use all of my high-speed data
In the unlikely event that you exceed the allotted 3 GB of high-speed data, you may purchase a data top-up card through your supplier. Top-up cards will add an extra 5 GB or 10 GB of data to your domain, with one-year validity. When an HMI reaches its data cap for the month, the data […]
