To meet growing demands for modular systems, Wago added the “Module Type Package” (MTP) to its range of automation solutions. Similar to printer drivers from the Office ecosystem, MTP works as a
standardised interface and functional image of entire system modules. The MTP creates the basis for the automation of
versatile production systems.
MTP is based on the 2658 Directive adopted jointly by Namur, ZVEI and VDMA. It can be used with both Wago Controllers PFC200/PFC200 XTR and Wago Touch Panels (600). For module engineering, the Wago e!Cockpit Engineering Software provides a library with many preparatory functions. It also contains a control image description, which can be used to easily build a library of reusable modules. Once the module has been created, the MTP is automatically generated with one click and can be read into
a wide variety of process visualisation and control systems (Process Orchestration Layer, POL).
