Are you experiencing data loss, firmware corruption, or inability to save settings on your HMI? These issues can be caused by problems with the HMI's internal memory, storage devices, or firmware. ROC Industrial offers expert repair services for HMIs experiencing memory and storage problems. We can diagnose and resolve these issues, restoring your HMI to proper functionality and preventing further data loss.
Understanding HMI Memory and Storage
HMIs use various types of memory and storage to function:
Internal Memory: HMIs utilize different types of internal memory (RAM, Flash, EEPROM) to store the operating system, application programs (HMI projects), and runtime data.
Removable Storage: Many HMIs also use removable storage media, such as SD cards, CompactFlash cards, or USB drives, for project backups, data logging, recipe storage, and transferring files.
Firmware: The HMI's firmware is the low-level software that controls the hardware and basic functions of the device.
Common Causes of HMI Memory and Storage Problems
Component Failure: Failure of memory chips (RAM, Flash), storage devices (internal eMMC, SSD, or external SD/CF cards), or related circuitry on the HMI's main board.
Power Interruptions: Sudden power loss or voltage fluctuations during a write operation (saving data, updating firmware) can corrupt data or damage memory.
Firmware Corruption: Bugs in the firmware, improper update procedures, or power interruptions during updates can corrupt the HMI's firmware.
Environmental Factors: Extreme temperatures, humidity, vibration, or static discharge can damage memory components.
Software Bugs: Errors in the HMI application program (the project loaded onto the HMI) can sometimes appear to be memory issues.
Full Storage: The internal memory or external storage device is full.

Our HMI Memory and Storage Repair Process
Free Evaluation & Quote: Describe the problem, including any error messages, and your HMI model. We provide a free, no-obligation quote.
Shipping: Ship the HMI to our facility.
Diagnosis: Our technicians use specialized diagnostic tools and techniques to determine the root cause of the memory or storage problem. This may include:Testing RAM and Flash memory for errors.
Checking the integrity of storage devices (internal and external).
Attempting to read data from the HMI (data recovery may be possible in some cases, but we cannot guarantee it).
Checking for firmware corruption.Repair/Replacement: Depending on the diagnosis, we may:Replace faulty memory chips (RAM, Flash).
Replace corrupted or damaged storage devices (internal storage or external cards/drives).
Re-flash or update the HMI's firmware (using manufacturer-approved procedures and software).
Repair related circuitry on the HMI's main board.Testing & Quality Assurance: We thoroughly test the HMI to ensure the memory/storage issue is resolved and that the unit is functioning correctly. This includes verifying data integrity, saving settings, and loading/running application programs.
Fast Turnaround: We minimize downtime.
Warranty: We offer a comprehensive warranty on all our HMI memory and storage repairs.
