MTP Specification 2.0 published

After successful final coordination of the content by the expert groups of the three sponsoring organizations PI, NAMUR and ZVEI, the specification documents were made available for release. With the decision to publish by the MTP Steering Committee of the three sponsoring organizations, the specification is now available for implementation in industry products and applications.

The development of MTP 2.0 was actively supported by numerous international companies. Various experts from user, manufacturer and engineering companies have been involved in joint working groups. This broad participation underlines the high relevance of the standard and the industry's strong interest in a future-proof, standardized solution for modular production concepts. The necessary usage rights for the MTP Specification 2.0 are available to member companies as usual. This ensures that companies can integrate the standard into their products, engineering tools and system concepts without any additional hurdles.

The new version of the standard has not only been further developed conceptually, but has also already been tested in practice: several member companies have implemented MTP 2.0 and successfully tested it as part of a plugfest. The results confirm the interoperability of the solutions and the applicability of the specification in real industrial environments.

With MTP 2.0, key enhancements and improvements have been implemented compared to previous versions. These include further optimized interoperability between the plant level and control systems, functional enhancements and a clear focus on the future requirements of the process industry. Thanks to the consistent further development, MTP 2.0 can be used across all sectors, from the chemical and pharmaceutical industries to food & beverage and other branches of industry.
