MBPSteuerung

MBPSteuerung is a term encountered in German-language automation contexts and usually refers to a modular, block-based approach to process control. The concept emphasizes dividing control tasks into reusable modules or blocks that can be assembled to form complete control solutions. Because MBPSteuerung is not a single universal standard, its exact meaning can vary by vendor or industry, but the core idea is modularity, scalability, and reusability in control software and hardware.

Architecture typically comprises field devices (sensors and actuators), a control level (PLC or embedded controller), and a supervisory level (HMI or SCADA). Function blocks or modular software components implement the process logic, often aligned with IEC 61131-3 programming paradigms. Communications rely on industrial protocols and standard interfaces to enable data exchange with MES/ERP systems and other enterprise applications.

Key features include deterministic real-time control, modular I/O, reconfigurability, and support for safety and cybersecurity requirements. MBPSteuerung systems commonly integrate safety functions, redundancy, and fault diagnosis, with engineering documentation that reflects a modular design approach.

Standards and compliance: while MBPSteuerung as a term does not fix a single standard, implementations typically reference IEC 61131-3 for programming, IEC 61508 or ISO 13849 for safety, and IEC 62443 or similar frameworks for cybersecurity. Interoperability is often achieved through fieldbus or industrial Ethernet protocols such as Profinet, EtherCAT, Modbus TCP, and OPC UA.

Applications include production lines, packaging, robotics, and other processes demanding scalable, maintainable control architectures. Given the variability of the term, users should verify vendor-specific capabilities and documentation when evaluating MBPSteuerung solutions.
