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 is capable of allowing process technology plants to leverage maximum potential across the board, from the planning phase through to operation. This makes the MTP a crucial component in the development of future-proof automation systems. Beckhoff seamlessly incorporates MTP directly into its TwinCAT engineering and control platform.

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.
