    Registration Numbers will always remain the same. I/O modules in a system are identified in general by their model number (MAQ20-VDN, MAQ20-JTC, etc.) and uniquely by their Serial Number printed on the side label (i.e. 1234567-89). When I/O modules are installed in the system, only a general identifier is visible on the front of the module (V, I, TCPL, etc.).
