The zenon Process Library is a full set of reusable, pre-validated PLC function blocks that cut engineering time, reduce validation risk, and enable Plug & Produce workflows.
Core benefits
- MTP v2.0 compliant function blocks, ready for modular automation.
- Pre-validated standard software, simplifies qualification and reduces project risk.
- Faster engineering with reusable PLC modules (motors, valves, analog I/O, etc.).
- Seamless integration with zenon Orchestration Studio (HMI → orchestration → PLC).
- Auto-generated HMI faceplates and Excel→PEA engineering with zenon v16.
Process Automation Projects (Integrated with ISA-88 Batch Engine in zenon)
- Accelerate PLC engineering using a standardized, pre-validated process library.
- Reduce engineering effort with reusable control modules developed by COPA-DATA.
- Simplify validation by using proven standard software.
- Integrated ISA-88 batch engine for seamless batch control.
- Manage and orchestrate your automation projects centrally (HMI and PLC) with zenon Orchestration Studio.
Modular Automation with MTP (MTP by design – library function blocks that speak MTP by design)
- Build Process Equipment Assemblies (PEAs) using fully MTP-compliant control modules and services.
- Library function blocks speak MTP by design – standardized, reusable, and future-proof.
- Prepare modular equipment for Plug & Produce scenarios faster and more consistently.
- Enable seamless integration into Process Orchestration Layers (POLs) through standardized MTP interfaces.
Legacy Equipment Modernization (Add MTP to existing assets and connect to modern orchestration layers)
- Add an MTP layer (process library) to existing PLC applications using ready-to-use function blocks developed by COPA-DATA.
- Support standardized service, operation mode, and source mode state models.
- Upgrade existing equipment to communicate via OPC UA according to the MTP standard.
- Extend existing Process Equipment Assemblies (PEAs) for seamless integration into modern Process Orchestration Layers (POLs).
Experience the zenon Process Library before purchasing: test MTP‑compliant function blocks, Smart Object Templates and the engineering workflow in your own environment.
