COMPUTER AUTOMATION Repair Services India
Computer Automation (now part of industrial control heritage) pioneered real-time industrial computing and process control systems used across critical manufacturing infrastructure. Their legacy automation controllers, I/O modules, and ruggedized computing platforms remain embedded in Indian textile mills, chemical plants, steel foundries, and discrete manufacturing facilities built in the 1980s-2000s. Despite vendor consolidation, thousands of Computer Automation systems operate in production environments across India requiring specialist maintenance and repair expertise.

COMPUTER AUTOMATION Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full COMPUTER AUTOMATION product range. Below are the major product families we service.
BRAVE Processor Family
Real-time industrial processors used in modular automation controllers. Common failures include EPROM corruption, RAM module degradation, and watchdog timer circuit failures causing intermittent restarts and loss of process data.
Industrial I/O Modules
Analog and digital input/output interface cards for process measurement and equipment control. Typical issues: optocoupler burnout, analog signal conditioning failures, isolated power supply depletion, and card edge connector corrosion.
Real-Time Controller Boards
Backplane-mounted control processors with real-time operating system firmware. Failures include boot sector corruption, real-time clock battery depletion, and inter-slot communication bus failures affecting multi-card configurations.
Memory and Storage Modules
EPROM, EEPROM, and RAM cartridges storing machine logic and calibration data. Degradation causes firmware loss, configuration memory corruption, and inability to restart after power cycles.
Power Supply Units
DC regulated supplies providing isolated power to I/O modules and control circuits. Electrolytic capacitor aging, voltage regulation circuit failure, and thermal shutdown issues are common in 20+ year old installations.
Communication Interface Cards
Serial and industrial protocol adapters (RS-232, RS-422, Modbus) connecting to SCADA systems and field devices. Failures: transceiver IC burnout, protocol firmware corruption, isolation barrier leakage, and connector pin corrosion.

Common COMPUTER AUTOMATION Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in COMPUTER AUTOMATION equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓BRAVE Processor fails to boot or resets continuously — EPROM firmware corruption due to age or power surge, or defective watchdog timer circuit causing false restart triggers. Battery-backed CMOS configuration memory loss prevents proper system initialization.
- ✓Analog input readings show zero or maximum scale values despite correct sensor input — Analog I/O module signal conditioning stage failure — typically the input buffer amplifier IC is shorted or open, or the input multiplexer select lines are stuck due to corroded backplane connectors or failed demultiplexer chips.
- ✓Digital outputs remain permanently on or do not respond to control commands — Optocoupler or output driver transistor failure in the DO module, or failed solid-state relay output stage. Backplane communication errors may also prevent command delivery to output logic gates.
- ✓Real-time controller loses communication with peripheral I/O modules after power cycle — Inter-slot backplane bus connection failure due to card edge connector corrosion, oxidation of gold contacts, or failed bus buffer amplifiers. Controller firmware may also lose slot configuration data due to CMOS battery failure.
- ✓Power supply output voltage fluctuates or drops under load causing process instability — Electrolytic capacitor ripple filtering failure due to 25+ year age degradation, or feedback regulation circuit malfunction. Primary switching transistor may be failing due to thermal cycling stress.
- ✓Modbus gateway card does not transmit/receive serial data or shows corrupted frames — RS-232/RS-422 transceiver IC failure due to over-voltage transient or ESD damage. Protocol firmware corruption in the gateway PIC microcontroller prevents proper frame assembly or checksum calculation.

Frequently Asked Questions — COMPUTER AUTOMATION Repairs
Do you repair Computer Automation equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the full Computer Automation product range — BRAVE processors, real-time controller boards, analog/digital I/O modules, memory cartridges, and communication interface cards. We offer PAN India door pickup from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and all other metros. Single facility in Vadodara, Gujarat — repair turnaround typically 5-10 working days.
My Computer Automation BRAVE processor boots but loses configuration after power-off. Can you fix this?+
Absolutely. This is classic CMOS battery failure or EEPROM corruption in your controller. Synchronics will replace the backup battery, perform EEPROM diagnostics, and restore configuration from your original machine documentation or archived firmware backup. If you have no backup, we can help reconstruct basic I/O addressing from your system's physical module layout.
We have a 30-year-old Computer Automation system with corroded I/O module connectors. Is repair practical or should we replace?+
Repair is almost always more cost-effective than replacement. Synchronics specializes in legacy Computer Automation restoration. We clean corroded backplane connectors using precision cleaning tools, replace failed card edge contact springs, and retest all I/O signal paths. Your system will work like new at a fraction of modern automation retrofit costs.
What if you find a faulty analog I/O module — do you replace the whole card or repair individual components?+
Synchronics performs board-level repair whenever economical. For analog modules, we typically replace failed op-amp and multiplexer ICs, repair feedback compensation networks, and recalibrate output trimmers. Full module replacement is only recommended if the substrate is physically damaged. This extends equipment life and maintains original system architecture.
Can Synchronics help if my Computer Automation system uses obsolete protocol firmware or proprietary bus architecture?+
Yes — this is our specialty. Our 180+ engineers have decades of experience with legacy industrial protocols including Computer Automation's real-time operating systems and inter-module communication buses. We maintain archived firmware, have reverse-engineering capability, and can diagnose bus-level communication failures that newer service centers cannot resolve.
How do I send my COMPUTER AUTOMATION 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 COMPUTER AUTOMATION 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 COMPUTER AUTOMATION 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 COMPUTER AUTOMATION 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.
