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.

This is how it works

Module engineering

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.
