Installation location - Dependency of the temperature range 
The module must be installed so that its upper and lower ventilation slits are not covered, 
allowing adequate ventilation. Above and below the modules, there must be a clearance of 
25 mm to allow air to circulate and prevent overheating. 
Note the dependency of the permitted temperature range of the installation location. 
•  Horizontal installation of the rack (DIN rail) means vertical position of the CP. 
•  Vertical installation of the rack (DIN rail) means horizontal position of the CP. 
You will find the permitted temperature ranges in the section Technical specifications 
(Page 109).

The CPU always occupies slot 1. In an ET 200SP you can plug in up to three of the following 
modules in slots 1 ... 4 (see figure) to the right of the CPU: 
●  CMs 
●  CPs 
●  BusAdapter Send 
Of these three modules, up to two CP 154xSP-1 modules can be plugged in. These two CPs 
can be of the same type or different.
