What is the Module
Type Package (MTP)?
MTP is a form of description semantics that enables you to easily and quickly reconfigure your highly flexible plants, laboratories or technical centers. So MTP-capability means that modules or devices integrated into a plant can be replaced more easily and are even more rapidly ready for use.
Who should use MTP?
module vendors
plant operators
engineering tool vendors
control system manufacturers
field device vendors
plant manufacturers
For EPLAN, MTP technology means tapping into new sales potential in relevant markets and a clear focus for future business.
With EPLAN Preplanning and MTP, the needs of plant engineering in various sectors such as shipbuilding and shipping, offshore, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and the food and beverage industry can be optimally served.

Benefits of MTP
Get up and running quickly
Plug & Produce enables modules and devices to be integrated as easily as a printer with a PC.
Save resources
Shorten your time-to-market and changeover times and increase your efficiency.
One solution for all applications
Greater flexibility in your laboratories, technical centers and production facilities. Different processes and the production of different products on the same line are no longer a problem.
Escape vendor lock
Enables fast and simple communication between components of different automation manufacturers.
This is how it works
- Module properties and information can be described according to your module planning and exported in a defined, open format in the form of the MTP.
- The module properties are defined in your own engineering tool.
- The MTP is in the form of a text file and is similar to a printer driver.
- All important module data, such as HMI, functionalities, diagnosis information and alarms, are available and ready for use in universal form after automatic MTP generation, the export.
After export
is before import
- Different MTPs can be integrated into any POL.
- Time savings due to automatic integration of MTP.
- The module data, functionalities, diagnostic information and alarms previously provided as an export can be used directly, without any further engineering effort.
