The Weintek Macro language has a some useful functions for stripping 32bit and 16bit numbers into words, and bytes. In this macro example, we’re splitting a 32bit word into a 16bit “HIWORD” and a 16bit “LOWORD“, and splitting the two Continue reading TechTip: Using HIWORD/LOWORD & HIBYTE/LOBYTE in a macro on Weintek HMI
In this TechTip we’ll be running through setting up a Dashboard with Weintek’s “Weincloud Dashboard“. The Dashboard is a simple condition monitoring interface supported on selected EasyAccess Enabled cMT X Series HMIs. Firstly, login to your Weintek Domain account via Continue reading TechTip: Weincloud Dashboard
In a factory setting, it may be desirable to limit the access of the cMT X Series web browser. We can do this by unchecking “Show navigation bar” and using the Control registers instead. Control Word Codes:1 – Go2 – Continue reading TechTip: Weintek cMT X Series PLC Web Browser Object
Occasionally, you may need to read a bit or bits from a PLC or controller register if they are not directly accessible via the driver being used – an example of this could be a PLC status word where each Continue reading TechTip: Using GETBIT in a Macro on Weintek HMI
This TechTip is about automatically changing the HMI window when logout, or Auto logout occurs. This could be useful if you want to ensure that if a user with elevated privileges leaves the HMI without logging out then the HMI Continue reading TechTip: Window Change on Auto-Logout Weintek HMI
This TechTip is about using a macro for a simple calculation to determine the difference between 2 values. To calculate the difference between 2 values, first we use the “>=” operator to determine if value1 is greater than or equal Continue reading TechTip: Calculating The Difference Between Two Values Using a Macro In a Weintek HMI
A frequently asked question we receive is “How do I create a multi-state lamp – for example to use with a Word Lamp?” This TechTip will hopefully make the process of creating a multi-state shape object clearer. Start a blank Continue reading TechTip: Using the Shape Library with Weintek HMI
In this TechTip we’ll be looking at printing a label to a Zebra printer by sending the ZPL string to the com port or Ethernet port on the HMI. Zebra printers are increasingly popular in production and packaging and are Continue reading TechTip: Using Weintek HMI to Print a label on a Zebra Printer using Free Protocol
This TechTip is about using languages on Weintek HMI. Languages are controlled by a local word, LW9134. YouTube video of a demo project: Setting LW 9134 to 0 selects “Language 1“, setting to 1 selects “Language 2“, and so on. Continue reading TechTip: Using Languages On Weintek HMI
Introduction This TechTip is about using a Macro to generate a QR code to scan with a phone to access via FTP* the HMI to upload history files etc from it. As usual, we’ll break it down so you can Continue reading TechTip: Using a Macro On a Weintek HMI to Generate a QR Code For The History Upload Address
