Common faults
What usually fails on a unit like the 720-200-01
PLC hardware is reliable, so when a module fails there is usually a clear cause: power supply stress, a surge on field wiring, heat, or age. CPUs, I/O modules, communication cards and power supplies can be repaired and tested on a live rack.
Power supply module failure
The whole rack goes dark or resets. Ageing capacitors and supply surges are the usual causes.
I/O channel damage
Single dead inputs or outputs after a short or surge on field wiring. The module is repaired and every channel tested.
CPU faults and lost programs
A CPU stuck in stop or fault mode, or a lost program from a flat memory battery. Keep a current backup of the program.
Communication module faults
Loss of the network to drives, remote I/O or the SCADA system, with the CPU itself healthy.
Backplane and connector problems
Intermittent module faults caused by the rack, connectors or vibration rather than the module.
Board-level repair
This is repaired at component level: the board is traced, the failed parts are replaced, and the board is tested with its inputs and outputs before it is returned.
First checks
What to check before calling an engineer
Isolate and lock out the supply, and wait for stored energy to discharge, before opening anything.
Safe for plant staff
- Note the CPU and module LEDs and any diagnostic buffer messages.
- Check the supply voltage to the rack.
- Take a program backup while the CPU still runs.
- Check field wiring for shorts before fitting a replacement module.
Leave to a specialist
- Downloading or modifying the program.
- Working on live I/O wiring.
- Replacing CPU firmware or memory.

FAQ
720-200-01 repair questions
Will the Bucher Emhart Glass 720-200-01 keep its program after repair?+
A repair doesn't normally touch the user program, but a CPU should always be sent with a current backup in case its memory has been affected by the fault.
Can obsolete PLC modules still be repaired?+
Yes. Discontinued modules are usually worth repairing, because replacements are scarce and changing platforms means rewriting the program.
Does the Bucher Emhart Glass 720-200-01 have to be sent in, or can an engineer come to the plant?+
Either. An engineer can diagnose it in place and repair it there or take it away, or the unit can be sent to MachineryFix from anywhere in India. The diagnosis and repair cost are confirmed before any work starts.
Is MachineryFix connected to Bucher Emhart Glass?+
