1.8 Component Part Numbers and Serial
Numbers/Barcodes
1.8.1 Common Terminology
The following terms are used to identify Mark controls components:
Backward Compatible
specified end-use applications without requiring any changes to the host system.
Base Part Number
The part number that is used to uniquely identify a part as a component in a higher-level assembly or
to order a backward compatible replacement part. The base part number remains unchanged for all backward-compatible
versions of the part. An example of a base part number is IS220PDIAH1B.
Hardware Form
The three characters following the module or board type in the part number that together with the Type
uniquely defines a module or board in the ToolboxST* configuration tool. An example hardware form is H1B.
Module or Board Type
identify the function of the part. An example of a board type is Pack Discrete Input A (PDIA).
Part Number The Part Number is the ANSI/EIA-649-A National Consensus Standard for Configuration Management,
Product Identifier, that represents a specific version of a printed wiring assembly (PWA) and consists of all applicable fields
specified in the table Product Identifier Fields
changed each time the design is changed. An example part number is IS220PDIAH1BA.
Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA)
Printed Wiring Assembly (PWA)
Product Identifier, that indicates one or more PCBAs.
Printed Wiring Board (PWB)
Circuits that indicates a circuit board without any parts added.
Serial Number/Barcode A unique number assigned to a component that indicates the date of manufacture and the supply
vendor.
Control System Overview
A part is backward compatible when it can directly replace an earlier version of the part in all
The four letter mnemonic taken from characters 6 – 9 of the full part number that is used to
Example. The Part Number identifies the baseline design of a product and is
