The zenon Process Library is a comprehensive collection of control modules commonly used in process automation, such as motors, valves, and analog values.
It consists of:
-
PLC function blocks for process control (supports MTP v2.0)
-
zenon Smart Object Templates: When the Process Library is combined with zenon’s Orchestration Studio, Smart Object Templates are automatically available, enabling seamless integration with the HMI layer, including intuitive faceplates.
Key Use Cases:
1. Process Automation Projects (incl. ISA88 Batch Control Integration)
a. Leverage a pre-validated process automation library to streamline your PLC development.
b. Utilize a central orchestration tool to optimize your project workflow.
2. MTP-Compliant Equipment (PEA) Automation Projects
a. Build PLC projects with MTP-compliant control modules and services, designed for modular automation.
3. MTP Layer for Legacy Equipment Integration
a. Easily integrate an MTP layer into existing TIA PLC programs with ready-to-use Step7 function blocks.
b. Includes support for TIA MTP function blocks with state models for services, operation modes, and source modes.
c. Upgrade existing modules (PEAs) to forward data via OPC UA in compliance with the MTP standard, enabling smooth communication with the POL orchestration.
The zenon Process Library is your solution for scalable, standards-driven process automation with SIMATIC* TIA.
