WEINTEK · HMI
Migration background and scope of application
Weintek maintains End-of-Life and Recommended Alternatives information for legacy HMIs. When choosing a successor model, screen size is only the first level of conditions. Panel opening, resolution, COM/Ethernet/USB, PLC driver, EasyBuilder Pro project compatibility and remote functions must also be checked.
Use these part numbers to identify legacy equipment and evaluate migration paths. Before ordering, verify the complete ordering code, nameplate, motor or load conditions, existing wiring and required site functions.
Common legacy part numbers and successor models
| legacy model / Legacy | original product description | Successor / Replacement direction | replacement notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| MT8051iE | Legacy HMI | cMT2058XH | Check openings and interfaces |
| MT8070iE / MT8071iE | Legacy 7-inch HMI | cMT2078X | Check resolution/COM/Ethernet |
| MT8102iE1 / MT8102iEU | Legacy 10-inch HMI | cMT2108X2 | Check project conversion |
| MT8090XE | Legacy XE HMI | cMT3092X | Check advanced features and interfaces |
| MT8121XE3 | Legacy XE HMI | cMT2128X | Check size and project compatibility |
What needs to be checked before replacement
Procurement and migration advice
If the legacy part number still has reliable inventory, the purchase of spare parts for the original model can be evaluated first; if the equipment still needs to be operated for a long time, the successor platform should be evaluated simultaneously. For discontinued parts, the real risk is often not "will the new model start?" but rather whether the wiring, communications, software engineering, mounting dimensions, or whether a legacy option will still meet field requirements after migration.
When sending an inquiry, it is recommended to also provide the complete part number, quantity, photo of the equipment nameplate, site voltage/motor parameters, and whether successor models are accepted. In this way, "original model inventory" and "successor model migration" can be compared together as two sets of plans.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can MT8070iE be directly replaced by cMT2078X?
This is a common official recommended direction, but it is still necessary to check the openings, interfaces, PLC driver and engineering file conversion results on site.
Can the HMI be replaced as long as it has the same size?
No. Resolution, cutouts, communications ports and project compatibility are also critical.
Can old EasyBuilder projects be opened directly?
It is often necessary to convert the project via EasyBuilder Pro and check objects, fonts, drivers and communication settings.
The legacy part number has been discontinued. Can I still find it in stock?
Some models may still be in stock. Actual projects can evaluate prototype inventory and cMT X migration simultaneously.
Need to check for a specific legacy part number?
By sending the complete part number, nameplate or BOM, we can confirm the availability of the original model before determining whether a successor model is needed.
