IAD Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full IAD product range. Below are the major product families we service.
IAD Motion Controller Series
Multi-axis servo and stepper motor controllers with EtherCAT, CANopen, and Modbus interfaces. Common failures include encoder signal loss, axis synchronisation errors, and firmware checksum failures that prevent homing sequences and coordinated motion.
IAD Distributed I/O Modules
Modular digital and analog input/output terminals with local intelligence for edge processing. Typical faults: relay contact welding, analog channel zero-drift, communication packet loss on noisy factory floors, and IP67 connector corrosion.
IAD EtherCAT Master Gateway
Industrial Ethernet gateway providing real-time synchronisation between legacy Profibus/CANopen networks and modern EtherCAT topologies. Repairs address cycle time violations, frame collision errors, and redundancy failover logic.
IAD Programmable Logic Terminal (PLT)
Compact HMI and logic controller hybrid combining 7-inch touchscreen, 16 I/O, and embedded PLC runtime. Common issues: capacitive touch dead zones, SD card corruption, and ladder program stack overflow during high-frequency interrupt handling.
IAD Safety Module SX-Pro
Certified SIL2/PLd safety controller for emergency stop circuits and guarded machinery. Repair complexity includes dual-channel watchdog diagnostics, safety relay self-test failures, and E-stop loop continuity verification.

Couriered repairs accepted from any city in India. Doorstep pickup available in Vadodara, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Surat, Chennai, and more.
Common IAD Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in IAD equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓Encoder Signal Loss - Axis Drift — IAD motion controllers detect missing encoder feedback at servo loop closure (typically every 2ms). Industrial vibration, damaged M23 circular connectors, or corroded shielded cable pairs interrupt position feedback, forcing the axis to fault with ERR_ENC_TIMEOUT.
- ✓EtherCAT Cycle Time Overrun — IAD EtherCAT master cannot complete frame transmission within the configured cycle time (often 1ms on high-speed packaging lines). Root causes include undersized Ethernet switch backplane, corrupted IAD gateway firmware, or excessive number of slaves exceeding master throughput capacity.
- ✓Distributed I/O Module Communication Dropout — IAD DIO modules communicating via CANopen lose periodic heartbeat messages, causing the PLC to quarantine the module after 3-5 missed cycles. Electromagnetic interference from adjacent VFD cables, loose M12 connectors, or corrupted node ID in module EEPROM trigger this fault.
- ✓PLT Capacitive Touchscreen Dead Zones — IAD PLT-710/715 capacitive touch panels degrade due to static discharge damage, moisture ingress, or controller calibration drift. Unresponsive screen corners prevent operator access to critical fault menus and production start buttons.
- ✓Firmware Checksum Corruption After Power Loss — IAD motion controllers and gateways store program code in flash memory. Abrupt power cuts during firmware update or DMA operations corrupt checksum validation, preventing boot into application mode. Controllers hang at startup displaying version mismatch errors.
- ✓Safety Module Dual-Channel Watchdog Failure — IAD SX-Pro safety controller monitors two independent safety relay channels. Watchdog timer desynchronisation (due to clock drift or corrupted firmware) causes the controller to fail diagnostic tests, disabling all guarded machinery to prevent unsafe operation.

Frequently Asked Questions — IAD Repairs
Do you repair IAD equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the full IAD product range — motion controllers, distributed I/O modules, EtherCAT gateways, PLT terminals, and safety modules. We offer PAN India door pickup from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Surat, Nagpur, and all other industrial cities. All repairs are processed at our certified facility in Vadodara, Gujarat, with same-day diagnostics and 7-10 day turnaround for most faults.
What is your turnaround time for IAD motion controller repairs?+
Synchronics typically completes IAD motion controller diagnosis within 24 hours of receipt. Firmware corruption and encoder faults usually resolve in 3-5 days including full axis synchronisation testing. Complex multi-axis servo alignment or custom calibration may require 7-10 days. We provide daily email updates and offer expedited same-week return for critical production-line equipment.
Can you repair IAD controllers with corrupted firmware?+
Yes. We specialise in IAD firmware restoration using JTAG programming and factory ISO images. Whether the controller failed during a firmware update, experienced power loss, or has corrupted boot sectors, Synchronics can reprogram the flash memory, restore user application code from your backup files, and validate full functionality before return. We also recommend preventive measures to avoid future corruption.
Do you offer calibration and commissioning for IAD EtherCAT systems?+
Yes. After repair, Synchronics performs full EtherCAT master-slave validation, cycle time stress testing, and network diagnostics with live oscilloscope traces. We verify all slave modules respond within timing windows, confirm data consistency across multiple I/O updates, and document network performance metrics. This re-commissioning is included in our standard repair service.
What is your pricing for IAD safety module SIL2 re-certification?+
IAD SX-Pro safety module re-certification involves dual-channel watchdog synchronisation, E-stop loop continuity testing, and SIL2 compliance audit. Synchronics charges INR 8,500-15,000 depending on module complexity and test duration. We provide a signed certification report. Please contact our sales team at [sales@synchronics.co.in] for an exact quote based on your module configuration.
How do I send my IAD 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 IAD 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 IAD 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 IAD 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.
