MTP-ControlEngine
Our SEMODIA MTP-ControlEngine provides the behaviour described in the VDI/VDE/NAMUR 2658 standard in such a way that the corresponding data structures can be implemented on any device suitable for this purpose, without the need to develop them yourself – it also runs on our MTP-Box!
Our MTP-ControlEngine is delivered as a C++ software development kit (SDK), which runs platform-independently on Linux, Windows and BSD. Any field device equipped with sufficient computing power can quickly be made MTP-capable.This imparts your device with additional, essential functionality, which adds value for your customers without changing or disclosing existing functionalities.

Your benefits
A perfect match
Functions irrespective of architecture (compatible with x86, AMD64, ARM, ARM64, MIPS, etc.).
Easy to implement
Our MTP-ControlEngine was developed as an (RT-) OS-independent API.
Always the latest version
It always remains up to date and compliant with the VDI/VDE/NAMUR 2658 standard, because SEMODIA is involved in shaping this standard.
Reach new horizons
Enables you to quickly and profitably enter the MTP market.
How it works
- Our MTP-ControlEngine runs directly on your field or laboratory equipment without changing or disclosing existing functionalities.
- A suitable MTP that describes the functionalities for the field or laboratory equipment is generated for the MTP-ControlEngine.
- The MTP is in the format of a text file and is similar to a printer driver.
- All important module data is available in universal form after connection via our MTP-ControlEngine and is ready for you to use.
- The supplied MTP can be integrated into any POL.
- The necessary data points for MTP-compliant communication are provided via an OPC UA server, which either already exists on your device or is supplied with our MTP-ControlEngine.
- Fast and flexible integration by means of MTP results in a massive time saving.
- MTP-compliant communication between the device and POL runs via Ethernet & OPC UA after MTP integration into your POL.
Technical details
Our MTP-ControlEngine is not hardware bound and can be used on any device.
The core of our MTP-ControlEngine contains the supplied SDK to provide behaviour compliant with VDI/VDE/NAMUR 2658. Existing communication interfaces in the target application can be reused directly. If not already available, protocol-specific drivers and an OPC UA communication server can also be supplied.
With embedded in mind, MTP-ControlEngine is developed based on architecture-independent C++ code for maximum compatibility with common systems and for platform independence. This enables use of the respective preferred architecture (x86, AMD64, ARM, ARM64, MIPS, …)
