Common faults
What usually fails on a unit like the ASM-20
Control, interface and processor boards inside printing presses, chillers, compressors and special-purpose machines are often unavailable or very expensive as spares. Board-level repair finds the failed components and returns the original board.
On-board power faults
Failed regulators, DC-DC converters and capacitors stop the board or cause random resets.
Damaged inputs and outputs
Driver transistors, opto-couplers and relays damaged by shorts or surges in machine wiring.
Processor and memory faults
Failed processors, memory or corrupted firmware stop the board working.
Connector and track damage
Corrosion, burnt tracks and cracked solder joints, often from heat, vibration or moisture.
Communication faults
Failed serial, CAN or network interfaces between boards.
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
- Photograph connectors, jumpers and switches before removing the board.
- Note error messages from the machine.
- Check the supply voltages reaching the board.
Leave to a specialist
- Component-level fault-finding and repair.
- Testing the board with its inputs and outputs simulated.
- Firmware and memory work.

FAQ
ASM-20 repair questions
Can the Rad Data Communications ASM-20 be repaired without a circuit diagram?+
Usually, yes. Boards are traced and tested at component level. A known-good board for comparison helps but is not required.
Does the Rad Data Communications ASM-20 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 Rad Data Communications?+
No. Rad Data Communications and the model name are used only to identify the equipment. MachineryFix is an independent repair service and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Rad Data Communications.
