That's right. All newer modules with digital elements generate the required
+5V from +12V (e.g. A-112, A-149-1, A-187-1, A-189-1). Only our "ancient"
modules A-190-1 and A-113 still require +5V and this can be obtained by
means of the A-100AD5 adapter. At the next opportunity we redesign these
modules so that no longer +5V is required.
