Expert HMI Software And Firmware Problem Repair Services

Is your HMI experiencing software errors, crashes, or is it in need of a firmware update or reprogramming? ROC Industrial offers expert troubleshooting and repair services for HMI software and firmware problems. We can diagnose and resolve issues that prevent your HMI from functioning correctly, restoring it to a stable and operational state. We work with all major HMI brands and their associated programming software.


Understanding HMI Software and Firmware


  • Firmware: The firmware is the low-level software embedded in the HMI's hardware. It controls the basic functions of the device, including the display, touchscreen, communication ports, and interaction with the operating system.

  • Software (Operating System and Application): Many HMIs run an operating system (like Windows CE, Windows Embedded, or a proprietary OS) and application software (the HMI project) that defines the user interface, data displays, and control logic.

  • Drivers: Software that allows the HMI to communicate with other devices.


Common Causes of HMI Software and Firmware Problems


  • Firmware Corruption: Power interruptions during updates, hardware failures, or software bugs can corrupt the HMI's firmware, rendering it unusable.

  • Software Bugs: Errors in the HMI's application program (the project) or in the operating system can cause crashes, freezes, or unexpected behavior.

  • Outdated Software/Firmware: Older software/firmware versions may have known bugs or compatibility issues with newer PLCs or other connected devices.

  • Improper Updates: Incorrectly performed updates can corrupt the firmware or software.

  • Memory Issues: Problems with the HMI's internal memory can sometimes manifest as software or firmware errors.

  • Driver Issues: Corrupted or incompatible drivers can cause communication or hardware problems.

Our HMI Software and Firmware Repair Process


  1. Free Evaluation & Quote: Describe the problem, including any error messages, and your HMI model. We provide a free quote.

  2. Shipping: Ship the HMI to our facility.

  3. Diagnosis: Our technicians use manufacturer-specific software and diagnostic tools to determine the cause of the software/firmware problem. This may involve:Connecting the HMI to a programming PC.
    Reading error logs and diagnostic information.
    Checking firmware version and integrity.
    Examining the HMI application program (if accessible).

  4. Repair: Depending on the diagnosis, we may:Re-flash the HMI's firmware with the correct, manufacturer-approved version.
    Update the HMI's operating system or application software.
    Reload a backup of the HMI project (if available).
    Important Note: We do not typically modify or debug customer-created HMI application programs, but we can often identify if a program error is the source of the problem. We focus on restoring the HMI's core functionality.Address any underlying hardware issues that may be contributing to the software/firmware problems.

  5. Testing & Quality Assurance: We thoroughly test the HMI after repair to ensure it is functioning correctly and the software/firmware issues are resolved.

  6. Fast Turnaround: Minimize downtime.

  7. Warranty: We offer a comprehensive warranty on our HMI repairs.
