This webinar explains how ICP DAS USA TSH/TSX serial port sharing modules simplify industrial serial communication by enabling protocol conversion and multi-master access to shared Modbus networks. The training covers common serial integration challenges—different baud rates, mixed data formats, and limited serial ports—and shows how these devices handle baud rate conversion, Modbus RTU ↔ Modbus ASCII conversion, and two masters sharing one slave over RS-232/RS-485. It also introduces the built-in web-based configuration interface, so users can select operating modes and set communication parameters without special console commands. Finally, the video reviews real-world application examples such as office lighting control (two HMIs controlling the same lighting circuit) and production line automation (SCADA and an on-site controller simultaneously monitoring and controlling the same PLC) while preventing data collisions and improving response reliability.
