Modular systems are becoming increasingly common in manufacturing and process engineering. Fluctuating quantities and highly specialized products require efficient production in small quantities. In other industries as well; e.g., shipbuilding, modular systems are used where simple integration into higher-level systems is the key to success.
Function:
The e!COCKPIT MTP add-on extends the functionality of e!COCKPIT and makes it possible to create a Module Type Package (MTP) description of an automation module with just one click according to the VDI/VDE/NAMUR 2658 standard adopted jointly by Namur, ZVEI and VDMA.
In e!COCKPIT, project-independent module engineering is performed using the “WAGO Library MTP.” The information technology interfaces (PCT points) are defined and the control logic and operating screens are created. The description of this module can be easily exported using the e!COCKPIT MTP add-on, provided that the “Library MTP” was used to create the module automation.
In system engineering, this description is read in again and the corresponding data structures and operator screens are generated on the basis of this definition.
Advantages:
- Simple integration of system modules into control and visualization systems
- Module engineering is only done once – reusable
- Dynamic adaptation without extensive engineering required
- Uniform look and feel – even with modules from different manufacturers
- Plug and Produce
Licensing:
The simple creation of the MTP at the touch of a button requires the use of a licensed library. In addition to this engineering add-on, you require a “WAGO Library MTP (2759-0208/0211-1000)” license for each controller.
