Repair turnaround you can plan around

Send a photo of the nameplate first. We confirm whether the motor is repairable, and the quote, the same working day.

Emergency: same day

For a line-down motor, where the fault and parts allow. WhatsApp us before you send it so the bench is kept free.

Urgent: 3 working days

Repair, encoder alignment and test, counted from the day the motor reaches the bench and the quote is approved.

Standard: 7 working days

Full repair, encoder alignment, run test under load and a printed test report.

  • Free repairability check from a nameplate photo
  • Printed test report with every motor
  • Written warranty, terms stated on every quotation
  • Pickup can be arranged; parts that must be imported are quoted with their own timeline

02Failure modes

Common Panasonic drive faults

A drive alarm tells you where to look, not always what failed. Overcurrent can be the power stage, the gate drive, the motor or the cable.

  • No power, or a blown IGBT or IPM power stage
  • DC bus, overvoltage and regeneration faults
  • Overcurrent and overload alarms
  • Encoder communication alarms such as Err 21.0
  • Switch-mode power supply and gate drive failures
  • Display, keypad and parameter memory faults
03Alarm codes

Panasonic alarm codes and what to check

Code meanings differ between series. Always confirm against the manual for your exact model.

Err 21.0: encoder communication

Often the encoder, its cable or the connector. Check the cable first, then test the motor and encoder.

Err 14.0: overcurrent

Can be a drive power stage fault, a shorted motor or a cable fault. Disconnect the motor and see if the alarm stays.

Err 11.0 and 12.0: voltage

Control or main supply undervoltage, or overvoltage during braking. Check supply and regeneration resistor.

Err 16.0: overload

Load or brake problem, or a weak motor. Check the mechanics before resetting.

04Verification

How a repaired Panasonic drive is tested

After component-level repair, the drive is powered up on a test rig, the power stage and feedback circuits are checked, and the drive is run with a servo motor under load. Your drive comes back with its own settings and serial history, and a printed test report.

If the motor is the real cause, the drive repair alone will not hold. When the alarm points to feedback or overcurrent, send the motor too: see Panasonic servo motor repair and encoder repair. We are an independent multi-brand repair company, not an OEM service centre.

05Turnaround

Panasonic servo drive repair turnaround

Emergency: same day

For a stopped line. Send the label photo and alarm code first.

Urgent: 3 days

Once the fault is confirmed on inspection.

Standard: 7 days

Planned repair with the full test and a printed report.

Time depends on the fault and on parts. What affects repair cost.

06How to send

How to send the drive

You can send a drive from anywhere in India. Talk to us before you courier, so the unit is expected and logged on arrival.

  1. Send the nameplate

    WhatsApp a clear photo of the drive label, the alarm code and what the machine was doing when it failed.

  2. We confirm repairability

    We tell you whether we can test and repair that model before anything is shipped.

  3. Courier or pickup

    Courier the drive, with the motor if the alarm points to feedback or overcurrent, to our Chennai or Puducherry bench.

  4. Inspection and quote

    The drive is opened and inspected. You get the findings and a quote before work starts.

  5. Repair, test, dispatch

    Repaired at component level, tested with a servo motor under load, then dispatched with a printed test report.

Panasonic servo drive repair questions

More on the FAQ page.

Do you repair Panasonic servo drives in India?

Yes. We repair Panasonic servo drives and amplifiers at component level, test them with a servo motor under load and return them with a printed test report. Send the label photo and alarm code on WhatsApp and we confirm repairability before you courier.

Are you an Panasonic service centre?

No. Star Automations is an independent multi-brand repair company, not an OEM service centre. The brand name only describes the equipment we repair.

What does Panasonic Err 21.0 mean?

It is an encoder communication alarm on MINAS drives. The cause is often the encoder, its cable or a connector, but a drive input fault is also possible. See our Err 21.0 guide, then send the drive and motor if it persists.

Can you repair the motor and the drive together?

Yes. When the alarm points to feedback or overcurrent we test the drive with the motor, so a motor fault does not bring the alarm back.

What do I send for a quote?

The drive label photo, the alarm code, the motor nameplate and what the machine was doing at the time of failure.

Send the drive label and alarm code. We confirm repairability before you courier.
