The fifth through the eighth characters of the serial number determine the
manufacturing date. Figure B-1 shows how to read the serial numbers.
Not present with initial serial number;
a G appears here if the Series 505
Discrete Module was manufactured
prior to January, 1988 but was modified
for 545/555 compatibility.

The following examples demonstrate how to read the serial number on the
modules.
86ML8712020175_ This module was manufactured in December (12) of
1987 (87). This unit is not compatible with the 545/555/575 CPU, because it
was manufactured prior to January, 1988 and the letter G (designating that
a modification occurred) does not appear at the end of the serial number.
86ML8712
020175G This module was manufactured in December (12) of
1987 (87). This unit is compatible with the 545/555/575 CPU, because it was
manufactured prior to January, 1988 and the letter G (designating that a
modification occurred) appears at the end of the serial number.
86ML8801
041324_ This module was manufactured in January (01) of 1988
(88). This unit is compatible with the 545/555/575 CPU, because it was
manufactured in January, 1988. (The letter G is not required if the module
was manufactured in January, 1988 or later.)
NOTE: The current serial number format is different from the format shown
in Figure B-1. Any module with a serial number that does not begin with
“86” is compatible with the current 545/555/575 CPUs.
