Overview MTP Engineering

Once you have created the new MTP module, the following project structure appears in the Solution Explorer.

New objects, HMI pages and services can be created and displayed in the Solution Explorer. These are divided into the following aspects:

• DataObjects: List of MTP-specific data objects such as an analog drive AnaDrv. An FB instance is later created in the PLC for each of these elements.
• Services: List of services with their associated procedures, parameters and report values. FB instances are later created in the PLC for the services and their components.
• ProcessValues: List of cross-module incoming and outgoing process values. An FB instance is later created in the PLC for each of these elements.
• TextLists: List of project-related and service-related enumerations. These elements are later transferred as objects to the HMI and as enumerations to the PLC.
• HMI: List of HMI pictures that can later be converted into TwinCAT HMI pages (.content).

You can generally fill the above aspects independently of each other. We recommend starting with the HMI.
