Module Type Package (MTP) Solutions
Emerson-supported MTP integration enables more modular manufacturing, reduces capital and operating costs, and accelerates automation deployment.
Developed by the User Association of Automation Technology in Process Industries (NAMUR), MTP – module type package – provides a framework for standardized equipment data models and description language to streamline interoperability.
MTP enables integration of DCS and PLC-based systems more easily. It reduces time and cost to integrate distributed process and reliability assets and equipment, helps accelerate time to market, simplifies fulfillment of individualized customer requirements, and improves scalability and flexibility. As MTP continues to evolve, organizations will benefit from Emerson’s foundation of interoperability between the DeltaV™ distributed control system, PACSystems™ programmable logic controllers, and AMS machinery health prediction devices.
Prepare for increased flexibility with Emerson’s support for MTP with interoperability between pre-tested systems featuring higher security.
Emerson’s DeltaV, PACSystems, and AMS technologies build a foundation to drive more value from MTP. With seamless integration and a single point of support, Emerson’s modular manufacturing technologies help organizations stay nimble to improve speed to market and reduce implementation costs.
When plants can more easily and quickly integrate new equipment into processes, they see overall reduced risk across the organization. Speed to market of products is increased, and cost of implementation is reduced. Seamless integration also reduces the time and expenditures needed to validate systems. MTP automates and simplifies much of that validation, and DeltaV and PACSystems automation systems and AMS Asset Monitor are tested together to automatically normalize the MTP standard for successful integration.
AMS Asset Monitor is designed with pre-configured MTP objects specialized for asset reliability data that enable seamless integration with the DeltaV control system. Users can simply create their asset-centric measurement points as they normally would, and then export an MTP-ready file to import those objects into DeltaV control and safety systems.
In order to build production systems that can be rapidly changed to produce multiple products on demand, organizations need to use modular components. And by having all of the components and the system that operates them be MTP compliant, it’s easier to predict schedules and cost for more efficient operation.
DeltaV was built from the ground up around modularization and is object-oriented for the whole plant. PACSystems supports this modularity with an object-oriented address space allowing for the full benefit of the modularity that MTP provides. Instead of managing a wide variety of separate controls, users can create a plant-level service to perform critical tasks.
Experience the most intuitive, scalable, and easy-to-use DCS ever built.
Emerson’s high-performance automation solutions help you meet the demands of the IIoT for more efficient outcomes.
AMS Asset Monitor delivers automated analytics for more plant assets.
One of the first automation vendors to support NAMUR's standard, Emerson introduces Module Type Package (MTP) solutions to enable seamless integration of our DeltaV™ DCS and PACSystems™ PLCs. By integrating distributed processes, reliability assets, and equipment, system integrators and manufacturers simplify fulfillment of customer requirements, improve scalability, and accelerate time to market.
Integration of process equipment is being made easier by the Module Type Package (Namur 148) interface specification standard. Watch this product demo to see what Emerson is doing to develop products that allow you to leverage the MTP standard.
