Looking for advanced training resources for Weintek HMIs

Hello network. I am looking for recommendations on advanced courses or technical documentation to deepen my knowledge of Weintek HMI programming.

After evaluating different options, I believe they are currently one of the strongest alternatives on the market. This is mainly due to the vast array of built-in communication drivers, their processing power, and their cost-effectiveness.

My goal is to standardize their deployment. I want to be fully capable of integrating them into everything from quick, standalone machine projects to more complex network architectures involving multiple machines. To do this, I need to master their advanced features, specifically:

  • Structured programming using Macros
  • Database integration (read/write operations)
  • Advanced management of graphs and historical data
  • Dashboard deployment
  • Remote access configuration via EasyAccess 2.0

If anyone can recommend a solid training platform, specific courses, or high-quality technical literature to help me get up to speed, I would highly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding Siemens HMIs and NFC integration.

Has anyone here successfully implemented an NFC reader to log into a Siemens HMI using an NFC card/tag? The idea would be that a user simply scans their card and automatically logs in with their assigned credentials.

From what I understand, Siemens HMIs (at least with standard WinCC setups) don’t allow login unless you manually enter the username and password. So I’m wondering if anyone has found a workaround—maybe via scripting, external systems, or PLC logic.

Any insights, experiences, or suggestions would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
