COMTROL Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full COMTROL product range. Below are the major product families we service.
RealPort Device Servers
RealPort family (RP, RPC, RPM) converts serial devices to Ethernet, enabling remote access and centralized device management. Common issues include dropped Ethernet connectivity, lost serial port assignments, and authentication timeout failures requiring firmware recalibration.
DeviceMaster Serial Gateways
DeviceMaster family provides industrial serial gateway functionality with built-in web interface, Modbus support, and multi-protocol translation. Repairs address protocol translation errors, web interface crashes, and port configuration loss after power cycling.
Intelligent I/O Modules
Distributed I/O modules for remote monitoring and control via Ethernet. Common faults include relay contact sticking, analog input voltage calibration drift, and communication timeout between master and remote modules.
PortServer Serial Terminal Servers
PortServer products enable serial-to-Ethernet conversion for legacy serial devices and terminal emulation. Typical repair issues involve MAC address loss, serial flow control errors, and session timeout configuration problems.
CN2650 Console Managers
CN2650 provides out-of-band management for data center and remote industrial facilities, supporting serial console access over IP. Repairs focus on NVRAM issues, serial port initialization failures, and Ethernet PHY faults.

Common COMTROL Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in COMTROL equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Ethernet connectivity loss on RealPort device servers — RealPort units often lose Ethernet link due to PHY chip degradation, corrupted MAC address in EEPROM, or failed network driver in firmware. This is especially common in high-temperature manufacturing environments (foundries, forges) where thermal stress degrades the RJ45 connector interface.
- ✓Serial port not detected or unavailable in Windows Device Manager — Comtrol RealPort driver corruption or registry issues occur when Comtrol software is improperly uninstalled or when conflicting USB drivers are installed. The RealPort virtual COM port COM1-COM256 mappings become inaccessible without proper driver re-enumeration.
- ✓DeviceMaster web interface timeout or HTTP 503 Service Unavailable — Comtrol DeviceMaster web server process crashes due to memory leaks in older firmware versions (pre-v3.5) or excessive simultaneous connection attempts from Indian manufacturing plants running legacy SCADA systems with polling intervals set too aggressively.
- ✓Authentication failure - Unable to login to Comtrol device after password reset — Comtrol devices (RealPort Secure, DeviceMaster, CN2650) store encrypted credentials in flash memory. Repeated failed login attempts or power losses during EEPROM write can corrupt the authentication database, locking out all access even with correct factory credentials.
- ✓Modbus RTU checksum errors or CRC failures in DeviceMaster serial gateway — Serial transmission errors occur when DeviceMaster's UART controller has failing signal conditioning circuits or when baud rate synchronization fails between the Comtrol device and legacy PLCs. Indian legacy systems (Allen Bradley PLCs from 1990s-2000s) often run at non-standard baud rates (4800, 9600) where clock tolerance issues emerge.
- ✓Relay contact sticking or failure to energize in iO Relay Intelligent I/O modules — Comtrol iO Relay modules experience contact degradation from arcing, corrosion, or solenoid coil burnout after years of switching inductive loads in Indian textile mills and electroplating plants. Moisture ingress in humid coastal (Mumbai, Chennai) or monsoon environments accelerates contact oxidation.

Frequently Asked Questions — COMTROL Repairs
Do you repair Comtrol equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the full Comtrol product range - RealPort device servers, DeviceMaster serial gateways, Intelligent I/O modules, PortServer terminal servers, and CN2650 console managers. We offer PAN India door-to-door pickup and return from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and all other major cities. All repairs are performed in our Vadodara, Gujarat facility with turnaround times of 3-7 working days.
My Comtrol RealPort device is showing 'No IP Address Assigned' even though DHCP is enabled. What's wrong?+
This typically indicates EEPROM corruption affecting the MAC address or boot firmware failure in the RealPort's network interface. Synchronics performs EEPROM diagnostics and firmware reflash to restore network initialization. We then conduct full IP configuration testing - both DHCP and static IP assignment - before release. This is a common fault in older RealPort units (RP2, RPC-USB) operating in high-heat environments.
Can Synchronics repair Comtrol devices with outdated or unsupported firmware?+
Yes. Even if your Comtrol device is running obsolete firmware from 10+ years ago, Synchronics can analyze compatibility and upgrade to a stable, supported release. We maintain a library of Comtrol firmware versions and provide compatibility assessment before any upgrade. Many Indian plants still operate legacy Comtrol PortServer TS units from 2005-2010 that we regularly service with firmware updates.
What is the warranty on Comtrol repairs at Synchronics?+
We provide 12 months warranty on all parts replaced and 6 months warranty on repaired circuit boards and assemblies. We test all repaired Comtrol equipment for a minimum of 24 hours under load simulation before dispatch. If a unit fails within warranty, we provide rapid turnaround repair or replacement at no cost.
Do you provide on-site Comtrol repair and commissioning support?+
Yes. For critical installations in textile mills, pharmaceutical plants, and automotive facilities, Synchronics offers on-site diagnostics, repair supervision, and commissioning. We can deploy our engineers to your plant in Ahmedabad, Pune, Surat, or other Gujarat-Maharashtra industrial clusters. Contact our support team to discuss your requirements.
How do I send my COMTROL 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 COMTROL 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 COMTROL 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 COMTROL 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.
