Device type
Compare the specifications on the nameplate with the order.
Identify the supplied device version using the order details (order code).
Part no. (PN)
The part no. clearly identifies an article in the catalog. It is important for communication be-
tween the customer and the sales department.
Fabrication number (F-No.:)
Among other things, the fabrication number contains the date of production (year/week).
Example: F-No. = 1234567801013010000
The figures in question are in positions 12, 13, 14, and 15 (from the left).
The device was therefore produced in the 1st calendar week of 2013.
Identifying the optional modules
The device type also contains information about optional default modules, as in the following
example of the Ethernet interface (Figure 08):
703571/8-01-00-00-00-00-00-00-00-25-08... (see type key)
