VM15
There are 2 different versions of the VM15, 15 position cage clamp, DIN Rail mount, breakout modules. The VM15 module has 16 connections, pins 1-15, and a shield (S) connection to the housing of the connector on the module. This connector is a standard (2 row) 15 position male D-Subminiature style. The module is the same between both versions; the difference is the cable that comes with the module.
