Efficient Automation Engineering of Modular Process Equipment Assemblies Using the Digital Twin

Abstract Modular process plants are a promising approach to accelerate the engineering of greenfield plants. This is achieved by combination pre‐engineered equipment assemblies (PEAs) with standardized interface for integration in control systems, module type package (MTP). can be integrated further improve potential. In this paper existing standards used generate aspects MTP. For purpose, conventional adapted PEAs. Therefore, similarities and potential described have been analyzed regarding shared fundamental characterized their location asset life cycle. To describe interconnections different standards, exemplary rules proposed, which transformation.
