Abstract
A device for the coding of plug receptacles in a support unit for electronic modules is described. Coding slides having a pin are provided on the support unit for each plug receptacle so that only those modules having a recess for the pin corresponding to a particular position of the coding slide can be inserted into the particular plug receptacle. This prevents, for example, modules with 24 V direct current supply from being inserted into plug receptacles wired for 230 V alternating current and vice versa.
