Engineering step 01
Process structure
Start with the available process context, plant structure and engineering information.
Workflow
From process engineering to modular automation
Transform process context and P&ID information into ISA-88 compliant module structures, automation details and (r)MTP-ready descriptions with Flow2MTP in Entellia.
Definition
Flow2MTP is the dedicated Entellia workflow that connects process engineering with modular automation engineering. It structures process and P&ID information, maps it to ISA-88 models and prepares the engineering context required for rMTP and MTP descriptions.

How this workflow develops
Follow the engineering information from its starting point to a reusable result. Each step keeps the relevant context connected for the next one.
Engineering step 02
Automation P&ID
Connect equipment, instrumentation, functions and automation-relevant relationships in the P&ID context.Engineering step 03
ISA-88 model
Structure the plant as Units, Equipment Modules and Control Modules using the ISA-88 hierarchy.Engineering step 04
Automation details
Enrich the model with the roles, services, signals, parameters and interfaces required by the module.Engineering step 05
rMTP and MTP
Prepare requirements-oriented and implementation-ready module descriptions from the connected engineering model.
One connected path from process to automation
Process engineering already contains much of the information required for modular automation. Flow2MTP preserves that context and develops it through a defined workflow instead of recreating the same structures in disconnected tools.
Structure modules with ISA-88
Units, Equipment Modules and Control Modules provide a consistent physical model. Functions, roles, services and interfaces can then be connected to the equipment they describe.
Prepare modular descriptions
The enriched model provides the engineering context for requirements-oriented rMTP descriptions and MTP-ready module information. The specific result depends on the available source information and the target workflow.
Typical outputs
- ISA-88 equipment hierarchy
- Units and Equipment Modules
- Control Modules
- Automation-relevant P&ID context
- Module services and interfaces
- rMTP-ready requirements
- MTP-ready descriptions
Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
Short, factual answers to the questions engineering teams ask first.
What is Flow2MTP?
Flow2MTP is a dedicated workflow within Entellia that connects process and P&ID information with ISA-88 structures and the engineering context required for rMTP and MTP descriptions.
What is the difference between rMTP and MTP?
rMTP describes requirements for a process equipment module before its final implementation is available. MTP provides a machine-readable description of an implemented module for integration and orchestration.
How does ISA-88 support Flow2MTP?
ISA-88 provides the physical hierarchy of Units, Equipment Modules and Control Modules used to structure modular equipment consistently between process and automation engineering.
Is Flow2MTP separate from Entellia?
No. Flow2MTP is a dedicated workflow within the Entellia Engineering Intelligence Platform.
