SX-IO — Weintek HMI Data Collection

Overview

Section titled “Overview”

Weintek HMIs (cMT, MT8000 series) expose their internal memory (LW — Local Word) and PLC passthrough registers via a Modbus TCP server. SX-IO can poll these registers directly to extract KPIs, production counts, setpoints, and alarm states for cloud forwarding.

Weintek HMI Configuration

Section titled “Weintek HMI Configuration”
  • In EasyBuilder Pro, open the project and go to System Parameters → Model.
  • Enable Modbus TCP/IP Server. Default port: 502.
  • Note the address mapping: Weintek LW (local word) registers start at Modbus holding register 0 (address 0). PLC passthrough addresses depend on which PLC device is linked.
  • Download the updated project to the HMI.

SX-IO Configuration

Section titled “SX-IO Configuration”
  1. Log in to the SMX-RNS20 web interface → SX-IO → Sources → Add Source → Modbus TCP.
  2. Enter the Weintek HMI’s IP address, port 502, and Unit ID 1.
  3. Add your data points using the appropriate Modbus addresses (LW0 = HR0, LW1 = HR1, etc.).
  4. Set the polling interval and configure an output destination.
  5. Save and verify in SX-IO → Monitor.
