What is the ACE-120 Course About?

The ACE-120 course introduces HMI programming best practices, leveraging the Weintek cMT2078X hardware and EasyBuilder Pro software. Designed for those with little to no experience, this hands-on course teaches the essentials of HMI design and integration with PLCs using the Arduino Opta.

Whether you're an industrial operator, engineer, or student, this course builds on ACE-100 (PLC Essentials) foundations and focuses on practical, real-world skills. By the end of the course, you'll know how to design, deploy, and manage HMI systems in industrial automation. 

The ACE-120 leverages the ACE-100 Opta Trainer Kit as its PLC for the HMI to PLC Integration. ACE-100 and ACE-120 go hand in hand as a comprehensive learning path for any beginner in industrial automation.
