Properties
● The DIN rail adapter makes it possible to mount the S7-1500/ET 200MP mounting rail on
standard 35 mm DIN rails.
● The DIN rail adapter allows for the use of prefabricated control cabinet and terminal box
systems.
● The total length of the S7-1500/ET 200 MP mounting rail can be used again completely as
before.
● To ensure optimal stability, the clearance between the two DIN rail adapters must be no
more than 250 mm or less.

Note that, depending on the mounting rail width, the mounting rail adapter can protrude up
to 4
mm on each side due to the drill holes.
You can find an overview of the protrusion dimensions for the various DIN rails in the table
