Module Type Package
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.
