Introduction:
Following the success of the original tGW-700/tDS-700 modules, ICP DAS has continued to develop new functions for these products in order to provide increased support for a greater number of applications. The tSH-735i module is a serial port sharer that provides a number of functions, including "Baud Rate Conversion", "Modbus RTU/ASCII Conversion" and "Two Masters Share One Slave". The built-in web server provides easy configuration interface, and no console commands are required.
The tSH-735i also adds 2500 VDC isolation and +/-4 kV ESD protection component that diverts the potentially damaging charge away from sensitive circuit to protects the module and equipment from the sudden and momentary electric current.
● Two Masters Share One Slave: This function allows two master devices connected to different serial ports to share slave devices. Modbus mode can be used to convert the Modbus RTU/ASCII protocols, while raw data mode can be used for DCON or other query-response protocols. Different baud rates and data formats can also be used on the different serial ports. The built-in cache function reduces the loading of serial communication on the slave port by removing duplicated queries when the two master devices are requesting the same information.
