Our safety demonstrator goes on the road: In preparation for the Hanover Fair, the double dosing module of the Safety Demonstrator was physically as well as information-technically connected with a reactor module of Pfaudler GmbH.

True to the basic principle of Modular Automation, two independently developed modules were linked to each other via the MTP interface. For our delegation from Dresden (Anselm Klose and Florian Pelzer), the main focus of the meeting was the safety-related interconnection of the two modules.

For all involved what the PlugFest was a complete success: Although the connection of the complex technical systems did not run smoothly, many practice-related insights could be generated with regard to the design of the operational MTP as well as the safety MTP. After an intensive day with many challenges, the safety system of the double dosing module of the safety demonstrator could be successfully married with the safety system of the reactor module of Pfaudler GmbH - of course via our developed prototype safety MTP.
