The Module Type Package (MTP) is a solution for modularizing systems in the process industry. Beckhoff has integrated the MTP concept into TwinCAT as a software solution. In this video, we discuss its current status, innovations, and the resulting benefits.

Module Type Package (MTP)
TwinCAT MTP integrates the Module Type Package concept into the engineering environment and enables efficient development of modular plants.
TE8400 | TwinCAT 3 MTP Engineering
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.
