IDEC Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full IDEC product range. Below are the major product families we service.
SmartAXIS HMI Terminals
IDEC's advanced touchscreen operator panels ranging from 2.4 inch to 15 inch displays. Common repair issues include capacitive touchscreen failures, display backlighting degradation, communication port faults (Ethernet, USB, serial), and firmware corruption causing boot loops or unresponsive interfaces.
FC6A / MicroSmart Programmable Relays
Compact logic controllers for small to mid-range automation tasks. Typical failures include input/output terminal corrosion, memory retention loss, real-time clock (RTC) battery depletion, and communication module errors affecting Modbus or Ethernet gateway functions.
Safety Relay Units & Emergency Stop Modules
IDEC safety relays (SR series, SR-3 series) and dedicated emergency stop logic controllers designed for hazardous area compliance. Repair challenges include relay coil burnout, contact welding, signal isolation failures, and redundancy channel mismatch causing safety lockouts.
Push Buttons, Indicator Lights & Selector Switches
IDEC's extensive range of industrial control interface components (CW/LW/HW series). Common defects include contact resistance increase due to arcing, LED indicator failure (red, amber, green, blue), switch mechanism stiction, and connector corrosion in humid Indian manufacturing environments.
Modular Control & Gateway Systems
IDEC's DIN-rail mounted gateway and protocol converter modules for integrating legacy systems with modern networks. Typical issues include Profibus/CANopen communication errors, Ethernet port failure, power supply ripple instability, and firmware version incompatibility with host controllers.
Rotary Selector & Multi-position Switches
IDEC's rotary encoded switches used in process automation and batch sequencing. Common repair scenarios include mechanical detent failure, contact plate separation, rotary encoder pulse counting errors, and spring-loaded return mechanism degradation.

All-India Service
Couriered repairs accepted from any city in India. Doorstep pickup available in Vadodara, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Surat, Chennai, and more.
Common IDEC Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in IDEC equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓SmartAXIS touchscreen unresponsive after power surge — Capacitive touch controller IC damage or analog-to-digital converter malfunction caused by voltage transient. Common in Indian factories with unstable grid supply or damaged UPS units. Affects HG3G and HG4G models predominantly.
- ✓FC6A programmable relay memory loss and program corruption — Lithium backup battery (CR2032 or similar) exhaustion prevents RTC and memory retention during power-off. Typical after 10-15 years of continuous operation. Also caused by repeated power cycling or faulty external power supply regulators.
- ✓Safety relay unit (SR-3) contact welding — emergency stop failure — High inrush current during E-stop activation causes contact arcing, leading to permanent weld between relay contacts. Occurs in textile mills, metal fabrication shops with high-voltage solenoid loads. Exacerbated by inadequate snubber circuit design.
- ✓Ethernet communication loss on DIN-rail gateway modules (GS2D-PN) — RJ45 connector solder joint cold-solder crack due to vibration in high-shock environments (punch presses, vibratory feeders). Alternatively, PHY (physical layer) IC failure from electrostatic discharge or network surge. Network isolation transformer coil burnout.
- ✓LED indicator lights dim or non-functional in selector switch panels — LED forward voltage shift over time combined with series resistor aging causes insufficient current. In humid coastal plants (Mundra, Kandla), salt spray accelerates LED phosphor degradation. Transformer tap voltage mismatch also reduces brightness.
- ✓HMI terminal boot loop — stuck on splash screen or firmware crash — Corrupted bootloader or OS image in flash memory. Caused by abrupt power loss during firmware upload, incompatible firmware version, or failed SD card module in backup recovery mode. Affects HG2G terminals in remote monitoring applications.

Frequently Asked Questions — IDEC Repairs
Do you repair IDEC equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the complete IDEC control system, HMI, and safety relay range across India. We offer PAN-India door pickup service from major cities — Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Indore, and all tier-2 industrial hubs. All repairs are processed at our Vadodara facility with same-day diagnostics and 90-day warranty.
How long does IDEC SmartAXIS HMI repair typically take?+
Typical turnaround is 5-7 working days for touchscreen replacement, firmware reload, and full validation. Emergency same-day diagnosis is available for critical production line halts. If parts require import (rare), we use our international vendor network to expedite delivery. Synchronics maintains stock of common IDEC terminal modules for faster repair.
Can you repair IDEC FC6A relay units with corrupted program memory?+
Absolutely. Synchronics uses specialized EEPROM programmers and JTAG interface tools to recover or reload your FC6A application code. If you maintain backups, we restore the original program in 2-3 hours. If no backup exists, we can often recover partial code from chip analysis. We recommend all customers maintain firmware archives with us for future service.
What is your warranty on IDEC safety relay repairs?+
All IDEC safety relay repairs carry 90-day full warranty covering parts and labor. Given the critical nature of emergency stop systems, we perform extended functional testing including dual-channel redundancy checks, contact resistance verification, and simulated E-stop cycles. We provide IEC 61508 compliance documentation for certification-sensitive facilities.
Are you authorized by IDEC or do you use non-genuine parts?+
Synchronics is an independent industrial electronics repair house with 30 years of experience. We use genuine IDEC OEM components wherever available and equivalent-grade semiconductor replacements (same package, electrical specs, and sourced from authorized distributors). Every repair undergoes full functional testing against IDEC datasheets. We provide transparent repair reports detailing all components used.
How do I send my IDEC 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 IDEC 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 IDEC 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 IDEC 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.
