Abstract

A locking system for fitting and securing modules in a housing includes at least one module, which is surrounded by a chassis and provides a plug connection at a rear side. The front side of the module disposed opposite to the rear side provides a chassis front-plate connected to the chassis. Each module can be locked by a snap-in locking device in a housing, into which the module is pushed. In order to release the snap-in locking device, an opening tool engages in the chassis front-plate. A pulling stress can be exerted on the chassis front-plate by the opening tool, and the module can be withdrawn from the housing.
