Abstract

Modularization of process plants has been identified as a crucial factor to fulfil future requirements in the process industry. With the ‘Dima’ project, presented at the Namur General Assembly 2014, Wago showed how the requirements of NE148 regarding modularization of process plants can be met. It has already been shown that Module Type Packages (MTP) offer a promising way to describe process modules. The Namur working group 1.12 is currently working on MTP standardization, together with several ad-hoc working groups of Namur and the ZVEI. This article presents the current situation regarding state-based control, human-machine interaction, and the diagnosis and maintenance of modular plants. In addition, a possible architecture of the Namur MTP is shown.
