The ET200S periphery has a kind of mechanical lock that is clicked in the terminal module the first time you plug a given module in that slot. The lock is specific to each module type, and will avoid that you plug another type of module by error on that terminal. Because the key located on the module itself will not fit in the lock placed by another module type in the terminal.

Here is an extract from the S7-400 Hardware and Installation manual that briefly describes this mechanism and the reasons for it: *4.20 Fitting the Front Connector* *Principle of a Coding Key* To reduce the risk of a wired front connector being plugged into the wrong type of module after rewiring or module replacement, the signal modules have a coding key for front connectors. A coding key comprises two parts: one part is permanently connected to the module; the second part is still connected to the first part when delivered. When you plug in a front connector, the second part of the coding key engages in the connector, becoming detached from the part connected to the signal module. Both parts of the coding key are mating elements and a front connector with the wrong mating element cannot be plugged into this signal module. http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/1117849 Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier
