With modular automation, process technology plants can be flexibly implemented and adapted with little effort. Rigid automation systems that have been operated unchanged for years are increasingly becoming a thing of the past, with individuality and flexibility asserting themselves as the future of the process industry. The Module Type Package (MTP) is a concept that allows process technology plants to leverage maximum potential across the board, from the planning phase through to operation. This makes MTP a crucial component in the development of future modular automation solutions.
Advantages of Module Type Package (MTP)
short time-to-market due to minimized plant engineering
short time-to-repair due to uniform module interfaces
individual production of small batches due to reusability of modules
numbering-up replaces time-consuming scale-up
uniform look and feel of the visualization system
Advantages and features of TwinCAT MTP
seamless integration into TwinCAT Engineering
interface-driven MTP engineering
option to import and export MTP files before programming
integrated engineering tool chain achieved by importing P&ID / requirements MTP and API interface to Semodia’s MTPlatform
automatic PLC code generation based on the module definition
automatic generation of the local HMI
