Does anyone have experience of buying surplus/second hand components?
I have found some unused Siemens components, namely Motor Modules, Inputs/Output modules, CPU, Screen.
They are obviously low in price, and they appear to be genuine having scanned the QR codes on the Siemens App.

I've scrapped some components lately and I put aside some special ones that Im undecided to throw then away or to keep. They look important. From what I can say, that black cilindrical 'case' is made from Ferite (not plastic) and inside is a coil with 4 wires coming out. Could be some sort of...

Excuse the ignorance here but why do we have all inserts (RCD/RCBO/SPD etc) and the only thing that is constant address every make and type is a DIN rail?
