Students now practice connecting to live OT communication lines safely. Unlike small devices, OT setups often involve RS485/422 buses with multiple clients. The instructor demonstrates how to tap into these lines without causing signal disruption or system crashes. Emphasis is placed on non-invasive tapping, using proper adaptors, and avoiding collisions when inserting sniffers. The class strengthens the module by giving students the confidence to handle real-world OT wiring while preventing operational downtime or damage.
