AWE Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full AWE product range. Below are the major product families we service.
AWE MultiDrive Series
Compact AC servo drives with integrated motion control for precision positioning applications. Common issues include capacitor degradation in humid Indian climates, resolver signal loss, and firmware corruption from power fluctuations.
AWE Compact Frequency Converters
Three-phase to single-phase and VFD solutions for variable load motors in textile mills, crushers, and pump applications. Failure modes include thermal runaway, gate driver faults, and DC bus capacitor failures in monsoon-prone regions.
AWE ControlPlex PLC Range
Modular programmable controllers for process automation in food, pharma, and chemical plants. Repairs focus on I/O module failures, Ethernet port damage, and backup battery replacement issues common in older 1990s-2000s installations.
AWE StepMotion Indexers
Stepper motor controllers and electronic indexing units for rotary table drives and conveyor speed synchronization. Typical faults include crystal oscillator failure, stepper coil open circuits, and logic board solder joint failures.
AWE SoftStart Modules
Electronic soft-start units reducing inrush current for large motor startups in sugar mills, cement plants, and steel rolling operations. Common repairs: thyristor gate drive faults, control signal input card failures, and phase loss detection relay replacement.

Common AWE Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in AWE equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Resolver signal loss — servo drive axis stops — AWE servo drives rely on resolver feedback for commutation. Broken resolver connector pins, corroded cable shields, or failed resolver signal conditioning boards prevent the drive from detecting rotor position, causing immediate axis shutdown and fault code E-12 or E-18.
- ✓DC bus capacitor bloat or leakage — intermittent shutdowns — AWE frequency converters (CFV series) and servo drives operate in dusty, humid Indian factory environments where electrolytic capacitors degrade 3-5x faster than rated lifespan. Capacitor ripple current failures cause soft-start module resets and random drive lockouts.
- ✓Thermal runaway and shutdown — drive overheats below rated load — AWE MultiDrive and Compact Converter thermal sensors fail due to solder joint cracks near high-current FET stages. Plant operators observe unexpected over-temperature faults (E-42, E-44) even at 50% motor load, forcing production halts.
- ✓Ethernet port non-responsive — PLC communications lost — AWE ControlPlex PLC modules experience lightning surge damage and switch-mode power supply transients that destroy the integrated Ethernet PHY chip. Network diagnostics show no link LED activity despite port continuity.
- ✓Stepper coil open circuit — indexer table locks — AWE StepMotion indexers used on conveyor speed-matching systems experience coil winding fractures from thermal cycling and high-frequency pulse stress. Phase loss during acceleration causes grinding noises and mechanical jam conditions.
- ✓Gate driver failure — converter fires uncontrollably or stays dead — AWE SoftStart and frequency converter thyristor gate driver circuits fail when 24V auxiliary power supply filter capacitors degrade. Loss of gate voltage causes SCR/IGBT protection circuits to fail, resulting in either locked-on conduction (fire) or complete loss of gating signals (dead drive).

Frequently Asked Questions — AWE Repairs
Do you repair AWE equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics is the primary AWE repair partner across India. We repair the complete AWE product range — servo drives, frequency converters, PLC modules, and soft-start units. We offer PAN India door-to-door pickup from all major cities: Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Pune, Hyderabad, Chennai, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, and smaller industrial towns. All repairs happen in our Vadodara, Gujarat facility with same-day fault diagnostics and 48-72 hour turnaround on most standard repairs.
What warranty do you offer on AWE drive and servo repairs?+
Synchronics provides 12-month comprehensive warranty on all AWE servo drive and frequency converter repairs — parts, labor, and re-testing included. We also offer extended 24-month coverage for food/pharma industry customers. Warranty covers component failures from manufacturing defects, thermal stress, and age-related degradation. Cosmetic damage and damage from external electrical abuse (lightning, mains spikes) are excluded.
Can you repair older AWE ControlPlex PLC modules from the 1990s?+
Absolutely. We specialize in legacy AWE ControlPlex systems (CP20, CP50, CP100 from 1995-2005 era) still running in Indian textile mills and food plants. We stock original I/O module replacements, restore failed battery-backed RAM, reprogram firmware from archived source code, and provide Ethernet upgrade kits to integrate old ControlPlex units into modern plant networks. These systems are extremely reliable and worth maintaining for 5-10 more years.
How quickly can you diagnose an AWE drive fault and quote repair cost?+
Synchronics performs free fault diagnostics on all AWE equipment within 24 hours of receipt. We use original AWE test equipment and parameter readers to generate detailed condition reports showing exact failed components, repair scope, and labor hours. Most quotes are ready within 36 hours. For urgent production breakdowns, we offer same-day diagnostic turnaround if you arrange immediate courier shipment.
Do you repair AWE SoftStart modules for sugar mill heavy-load motor starts?+
Yes, we are specialists in AWE SoftStart repair for sugar mills, cement plants, and heavy industrial motor applications. We rebuild gate driver circuits, replace thyristor modules, test under full load simulation, and perform thermal stress testing. Sugar mill SoftStart units experience severe duty cycles; we upgrade cooling heatsinks and add surge protection to prevent repeat failures. Typical repair turnaround is 7-10 days including full factory commissioning testing.
How do I send my AWE unit for repair?+
Pack the unit securely and courier it to our Vadodara workshop. Include a note with the fault description and your contact details. We will log it into our system and WhatsApp you a job number within 24 hours of receipt. Doorstep pickup is available in Vadodara, Ahmedabad, Surat, Mumbai, and Pune.
What is the cost of repairing a AWE drive or PLC?+
Repair cost depends on the model and the fault. We offer a free diagnosis — once we identify the fault, we provide a fixed quotation before proceeding. Typical repairs cost 20–40% of the new unit price. We will never repair without your approval.
What warranty do you provide on AWE repairs?+
All repaired units carry a 6-month comprehensive warranty covering the same fault and related issues. If the fault recurs within the warranty period, we repair it free of cost.
Do you provide a no-fix, no-fee guarantee?+
Yes. If we cannot repair your AWE unit after diagnosis, you pay only the diagnosis fee (₹500–₹1,500 depending on the product). The unit is returned to you at no additional charge.
