AAS-enabled Engineering Using MTP A Practical Approach

This article shows a practical implementation of how the technologies MTP (Module Type Package) and AAS (Asset Administration Shell) can be combined in a typical engineering workflow. For the practical implementation, the selection of one of the current Software Development Kits (SDKs) is explained, which makes it easier for the developer to generate Asset Administration Shells and to connect to a corresponding server. The corresponding AAS submodel of the MTP is shown and typical use cases between the engineering tool and the AAS server are explained.
