MTP - Launcher

Summary

The service Module Type Package (MTP) is now available in the zenon Software Platform.

Description

The service consists of the following components included in the scope of delivery:

  • MTP Studio
    Configuration environment for the standard-compliant orchestration of the process. Every single configuration step is checked in real time to ensure the process complies with the VDI/VDE/NAMUR 2658 standard.
  • Template Project
    Basis for creating zenon project content based on the MTP standard. A complete navigation concept is included in this project, and it can be used to access zenon screen types such as 
    Chronological Event List, Extended Trend, Batch Control, Alarm Message List, Recipe Group Manager, user administration, etc. Without further manual intervention in the project configuration, the connected devices (PEAs) can be controlled fully automatically in the Service Engine by integrating the configured MTP services in zenon Batch Control and thus running batch recipes.
  • MTP Gateway
    Existing equipments that do not have an MTP interface can be equipped with the MTP gateway. With the help of zenon Logic, a signal translation interface is created, which means that the connected device is fully MTP-compatible externally. An MTP standard-compliant connection to the POL is therefore also possible for older devices.
  • Validation service for MTP files
    Fast validation for existing MTP files. This validation is also available online for free: https://go.copadata.com/mtp-validator

The basic requirement for consistent modularization in production is a uniform description of the information about the individual modules. Which data objects are recorded? Which services are to be executed? The description is carried out consistently via the cross-industry and cross-manufacturer standard Module Type Package. All information is provided in a standardized format and can thus be integrated into a higher level Process Orchestration Layer (POL).

The POL and the Engineering Studio interlock in a fully automated manner here. All work steps are thus automated in the Engineering Studio and transferred to the Service Engine via the POL. In this way, it only takes a few steps to create a fully automatically generated process control system (DCS).
