KONTRON Equipment We Repair — By Category
KONTRON Product Lines We Repair
Our engineers are trained on the full KONTRON product range. Below are the major product families we service.
KX Series Real-Time Controllers
Kontron KX series rugged real-time controllers for industrial process control, motion control, and embedded automation. Common failures include CPU module failures, real-time kernel boot errors, I/O card shorts, and thermal shutdown due to heatsink corrosion in high-vibration environments.
CP Series Compact Processors
Compact, fanless embedded processors for harsh industrial environments including railways, energy plants, and manufacturing. Typical faults include capacitor failures in power supply sections, BIOS corruption, Ethernet interface failures, and watchdog timer malfunctions causing unexpected resets.
MIC Series Modular Industrial Computers
Modular, scalable industrial computers used in SCADA, HMI, and data acquisition systems across Indian manufacturing and utilities. Common issues include RAM module faults, PCIe slot degradation, real-time OS kernel panics, and serial port communication failures.
KeyPak Industrial PC Modules
Diskless, embedded PC modules for vision systems, machine automation, and industrial IoT gateways. Repair issues include onboard flash memory failures, USB interface degradation, power stage failures, and thermal cycling damage to BGA solder joints.
VX Series Rugged COM Modules
Rugged carrier boards and interface modules for Kontron embedded modules in high-shock and high-vibration industrial environments. Failures include connector pin corrosion, PCB lamination delamination from thermal cycling, ground plane fractures, and signal integrity loss on high-speed data lines.

Common KONTRON Equipment Faults We Fix
Based on 30+ years of repair data, these are the most frequent failure modes we see in KONTRON equipment arriving at our workshop.
- ✓CPU Module Boot Failure and Black Screen Output — Kontron KX and CP series often experience CPU module failures due to thermal cycling stress, solder joint fatigue on the CPU BGA, or BIOS firmware corruption from power loss during update cycles.
- ✓Real-Time Kernel Panic and Task Scheduler Errors — Kontron real-time controllers fail when memory modules degrade, causing parity errors, or when the real-time OS kernel encounters timing violations due to hardware latency exceeding thresholds in high-vibration industrial settings.
- ✓Ethernet Port Unresponsive and Network Isolation — Kontron MIC and KeyPak modules experience Ethernet failures from electrostatic discharge, magnetics coil burnout in PoE-enabled ports, or MAC layer chipset failures from overheating in dense industrial control cabinets without adequate ventilation.
- ✓Watchdog Timer Malfunction and Unexpected System Resets — Kontron embedded systems hang or reboot unpredictably when the watchdog timer IC fails, oscillator timing drifts due to temperature variance, or firmware does not service the watchdog within required intervals due to OS resource contention.
- ✓Serial Port Communication Timeout and Data Corruption — CP and MIC series serial interfaces degrade when RS-232/RS-485 drivers fail from overvoltage transients, level shifter ICs overheat, or solder joints on UART connectors crack due to repeated vibration and thermal stress.
- ✓Power Stage Shutdown and Voltage Regulator Failures — Kontron systems lose power or exhibit brownout conditions when switching power supply MOSFETs fail from thermal runaway, capacitors dry out in high-temperature factory environments, or feedback resistor networks drift beyond tolerance, causing under/overvoltage.

Frequently Asked Questions — KONTRON Repairs
Do you repair Kontron equipment anywhere in India?+
Yes. Synchronics repairs the full Kontron product range — KX series real-time controllers, CP compact processors, MIC modular systems, KeyPak modules, and VX carrier boards. We offer PAN India door pickup from Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Surat, and all other cities. All repairs are handled at our primary facility in Vadodara, Gujarat with guaranteed 7-14 day turnaround for most Kontron failures.
What is the typical repair cost and turnaround for Kontron KX real-time controller CPU module replacement?+
Kontron KX series CPU module repairs (BGA reflow, firmware restoration, or full module replacement) typically cost INR 18,000-35,000 depending on failure severity and require 5-10 working days. Synchronics provides upfront quotations after technical diagnosis. We offer expedited 48-72 hour turnaround for critical production failures at a priority fee. All repairs include 6-month warranty and post-repair functional testing under load.
Do you stock Kontron spare parts like RAM modules, power supply capacitors, and Ethernet PHY chips?+
Yes. Synchronics maintains a stock of high-reliability replacement components including Kontron-approved DIMMs, industrial-grade capacitors, Ethernet interface ICs, and power stage MOSFETs for KX, CP, MIC, and KeyPak series. We source OEM-equivalent parts from authorised distributors to ensure compatibility and warranty validity. For obsolete Kontron modules, we provide component-level repair or engineer suitable replacement modules.
How do you handle Kontron systems with corrupted or missing BIOS firmware?+
Synchronics recovers and restores Kontron BIOS using industry-standard firmware programming tools and Kontron official firmware images. If the original firmware is unavailable, we consult Kontron technical support or reverse-engineer functional equivalent firmware. We verify boot sequence, hardware detection, and real-time kernel initialisation post-repair using reference hardware configurations.
Can Synchronics repair Kontron modules with solder joint cracks from vibration damage?+
Yes. Kontron modules used in railways, machine automation, and vibration-prone environments suffer solder joint fatigue. Synchronics uses precision BGA rework equipment with X-ray inspection to reflow damaged solder joints, replace cracked traces, and reinforce mechanical stress points. We perform thermal cycling and vibration testing to validate solder joint durability before release.
How do I send my KONTRON 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 KONTRON 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 KONTRON 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 KONTRON 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.
