S7-400 Assembly in a Rack

Introduction
Regardless of the S7-400 CPU you decide to use, you can equip the module rack
where the CPU is located with up to 16 other modules in addition to the CPU and
the power supply module.
Only Two Slot Rules
You only have to observe two rules when arranging modules in a rack:
• The power supply module must be inserted in slot 1 in all racks. Redundant
power supply modules are inserted in slots 1 and 3.
• The receive IM in the expansion device must always be install at the far right.
