Lantronix 080-332-000-R Industrial Device Server Module

Description

Key Technical Specifications

Product Introduction & Supply Chain Strategy

The Lantronix 080-332-000-R is a rugged, industrial-grade device server designed to bridge legacy serial instruments (PLCs, meters, barcode scanners, and motor drives) to modern Ethernet networks or remote dial-up systems. Built for extreme industrial environments, it provides transparent serial-to-Ethernet data conversion, virtual COM port mapping, and secure remote device management.

Stocking the 080-332-000-R as New Surplus is a critical strategy for automation engineers, system integrators, and IT network administrators maintaining distributed SCADA systems. When an edge communication bridge fails, entire process monitoring loops go dark. Sourcing genuine New Surplus inventory delivers an immediate, drop-in replacement without requiring costly re-cabling, network architecture redesigns, or expensive modern upgrades to connected legacy serial field devices.

Installation & Configuration Guide

1.Pre-Installation (Prep & Safety):LOTO, cabinet power, and ESD prep.

Isolate local 24 VDC control cabinet power before servicing equipment and implement lock-out/tag-out (LOTO) procedures. Equip a grounded ESD wrist strap before handling communication cables and terminal blocks. Verify that the ambient temperature inside the enclosure remains within operating specifications (-40°C to +85°C).

2.Removal:Disconnecting power, serial, and network lines.

Label and disconnect the DC power leads, serial cable connections (RS-232/422/485), and RJ45 network lines. Release the DIN-rail locking tab at the bottom of the enclosure using a flathead screwdriver, then unhook the module from the 35 mm DIN rail.

3.Installation (Clone & Seat):DIN-rail mounting and wiring connections.

Snap the new Lantronix 080-332-000-R securely onto the 35 mm DIN rail. Reattach the serial interface connections according to your pinout labels, connect the shielded RJ45 Ethernet cable, and wire the 9–30 VDC supply leads to the screw terminal block, ensuring correct polarity.

4.Power-On & Testing:IP assignment, virtual COM setup, and loop test.

Apply power and observe the front-panel status LEDs (Power, Link/Activity, Serial RX/TX). Use DeviceInstaller or a web browser to locate the unit on the network, set a static IP address, set the baud rate/parity to match the downstream serial device, and perform a loopback test to verify transparent data flow.

Firmware/Software Versions & Upgrade Notes

• Configuration Utilities: Easily configured via Lantronix DeviceInstaller, Com Port Redirector (for virtual COM port creation), or the built-in Web Manager.
• Protocol Tuning: When converting Modbus RTU serial devices to Modbus TCP, ensure the gateway protocol option is selected in the Web Manager to prevent packet timing timeouts.
• Wiring Caution: Ensure shielded cabling is used for long RS-485 runs to prevent industrial noise interference. Never hot-swap DC power terminal block wires while the main power supply is energized.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

This product is a Brand New Surplus unit. It is not used, not pulled from a decommissioned plant, and not refurbished. All modules undergo rigorous quality verification to ensure OEM-level reliability.

Why choose New Surplus over refurbished serial device servers?

Communication gateways operating continuously inside harsh industrial panels experience thermal stress and power line transients. Refurbished or pulled networking units often suffer from degraded optocouplers, dried-out power supply capacitors, or intermittent RJ45 jack contacts. Our New Surplus 080-332-000-R units offer factory-fresh internal components, pristine connection terminals, and maximum reliability.

How do you verify the condition of the Lantronix 080-332-000-R?

Every unit undergoes strict inbound visual and electrical inspection. We verify that the DIN-rail clips are undamaged, screw terminal blocks show zero tool marks, LED windows are scratch-free, and the device is preserved in static-safe packaging.

What function does the 080-332-000-R serve in an automation network?

It acts as a transparent communication bridge, enabling legacy RS-232/422/485 devices to communicate across standard TCP/IP Ethernet networks or remote dial-up monitoring channels.

Can I map this module to a virtual COM port on a PC?

Yes. Using Lantronix Com Port Redirector software, you can map the network-attached 080-332-000-R to a virtual Windows COM port, allowing legacy PC applications to communicate with the field device without software modification.

What warranty is provided with this New Surplus Lantronix module?

We back this New Surplus Lantronix 080-332-000-R device server with a complete 1-year replacement warranty. If any functional or electrical defect occurs under standard operating conditions within 12 months, we replace the unit directly from our inventory.
