Note
When aligning several blocks, it is recommended to either place
a DIN rail adapter underneath the connection point or a flange
element between the blocks.
For versions with 6 or 7 connections, it is enough to place one
DIN rail adapter centrally per block and place flange elements
after every other block.
When using the DIN rail adapter PTFIX-NS35, an aligned block
must not protrude by more than a half.
