I made a kind of module. Different sensors are placed in the module. I connected the module to Raspberry Pi through RS232 converter. I am using Libudev to automatically find out which Pi port has RS232 converter using Vendor Id and Product Id and reading data from it successfully and displaying it on front-end. Now my problem is that I have two modules now and both are connected with same Pi and both RS232 Vendor id and Product id are same . In front end I have made an option to select module 1 or 2. How do I differentiate between both converters aside from Vendor id and Product id. It would be best if the solution can be provided through Libudev.
P.S : Currently Libudev detects the most recent port I plugged the RS232 converter in.
