Efficient engineering with MTP: Plant engineering (5/5)

TwinCAT MTP integrates the Module Type Package concept into the engineering environment and enables efficient development of modular plants.

An MTP (Module Type Package) is a communication interface between a higher-level control system (e.g. process control system) and a modular plant. The MTP describes the interface of visualization, provided services and other features of a module, so that a simple orchestration of the modules to form a complete plant can be done easily and quickly in the higher-level control system.

OPC UA is a platform-independent, service-oriented communication architecture for reliable, secure and multisupplier data transport from the production level to the production planning and ERP system or to the cloud.

The TwinCAT Controller Toolbox covers all essential blocks for control applications. All blocks have the same appearance and almost the same properties. Simple parameterization via a structure and the same error handling for all blocks support the application.
