Programming SCADA in HMI Weintek and PLC Fatek






First we must to review these concepts:

Must Knowledge

Industrial Command
Computation
Electricity
Basic English
First time PLC Fatek




STEP 1 : DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE

First you must to download HMI Software in this case is free

Go to the follow link in official Weintek webpage and download free Software EasyBuilder Pro Download Here; Weintek HMIs is a good performance Touch Screen HMI and his price is not expensive than others HMI and of course is a good option because Software is free, Register with your information and then login, you must to choose 1 of the 2 last versions


Extract the files and do click on SETUP; the first configuration by default


Open Easybuilder Pro and start to create our first simple SCADA!


if we can access to the program for first time, we are ready to start!




STEP 2: Configuring Software-Hardware

Let's Monitor and Operate in HMI a PLC Fatek project

In Winproladder (Fatek) gonna create a "Start - Stop"; and energize a "Output", and very important is create 2 buttons in HMI that you can start or stop from touch screen

Back to HMI Software and start with the configurations

Create a New Project and then must to select the right HMI that will use, if you choose the wrong HMI in the moment of upload program you may have problems

Now must to ADD the PLC that works with the HMI; Let's add a PLC Fatek


Identify:


Finally we can see we've add PLC Fatek to the list by Serial RS-232

Now that the Hardware PLC and HMI have been configurated start to programming!



STEP 3: Programming PLC and HMI

The first project is very simple to understand PLC and HMI how works

This is the main screen when you start


First we gonna create a simple "Digital Output or 0-1" from Bit Lamp, we add the address Y0 that means is directly relationated with Digital Output "Y0" from PLC (remember Step 2 in Winproladder)


Then to begin with the from go to "Shape" and here is how we choose the variable looks like; "0" => OFF or "1" => ON


Go to Picture Library and here is where HMI give us the option to create variables and choose differents



This options mainly shows how HMI works over a Output when is OFF "0" or ON "1"


Finally our Bit Lamp will be the real Digital Output Y0 from PLC Fatek

Now gonna create our 2 buttons in HMI that too may Start o Stop the Digital Output Y0, go to "Toggle Switch"

In this case create 2 differentes buttons, 1 means START (M0) and other to STOP (M1); remember these values were created in Winproladder



Our simple and first project looks like simple but is very important to understand the concepts



STEP 4: Communicate HMI - PLC y PC

When the project is ready you must to communicate HMI and PLC from PC

The procedure you must to follow is the next



QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

HERE THE LIST OF ANSWERS:

  1. Where download the HMI Software for a HMI Touchscreen Weintek?
    You can download free software from webpage Download in Weintek just register and choose any of the 2 latest versions

  2. What are the communications protocol to communicate HMI and PLCs
    The latest HMI Weintek have 2 main ports: Ethernet (TCP/IP) connecting by Patch Cord UTP RJ45 and Serial Communication RS-232 conecting by DB9

  3. How Know the IP of my HMI Weintek?
    You need to be in Weintek HMI and login, by default you have a password "123456"; then go to Settings => Network => IP Address; remember your PC must to be in same subnetwork
