2.3  Maximum Number of Connectable Modules/Maximum Configuration 
Maximum Number of Modules      
The modules include the interface module, the power and electronic modules, and the motor 
starters. 
The overall width of an ET 200S is limited to 2 m.  
The following restriction applies for IMs as of 6ES7151-1BA01-0AB only when operated in 
DPV0 mode: 
●  The maximum number of modules in an ET 200S also depends on the parameter length 
of the modules. Each ET 200S supports a total of 244 bytes.
