In today's advanced industrial environments, automation and precise motor control are key to efficiency, performance, and productivity. At the heart of this technological framework lies a small yet critical component: the field card. Whether it's in CNC machines, robotics, conveyor systems, or variable frequency drives (VFDs), field cards play an essential role in the communication between the drive and external systems.

At Shawa Technocraft, we specialize in the repair and refurbishment of field cards to extend the life of your drive systems and minimize costly downtime. Visit our dedicated service page: Field Card Services

What is a Field Card?

A field card, often called an interface or communication card, is a circuit board integrated into drive systems. It facilitates communication between the drive and field devices such as sensors, actuators, PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), and HMIs (Human-Machine Interfaces).

Key Functions of Field Cards:

  • Signal Processing: Converts and transmits control signals.
  • Protocol Communication: Supports communication standards like Modbus, Profibus, Ethernet/IP, CANopen, etc.
  • System Integration: Ensures smooth interaction between drives and field-level equipment.
  • Fault Monitoring: Detects errors and transfers diagnostic information.

A malfunctioning or damaged field card can disrupt the entire operation, making its timely repair or replacement critical.

Why Field Cards Fail

Understanding the reasons behind field card failure can help you better manage preventive maintenance:

Common Causes of Field Card Failure:

  • Voltage Surges or Spikes
  • Moisture or Dust Ingress
  • Overheating
  • Component Aging
  • Improper Handling during Installation or Removal
  • Software Incompatibility or Firmware Errors

Refurbished Field Cards – A Smart Alternative

Rather than investing in a new drive system or purchasing costly new components, refurbished field cards present a cost-effective and sustainable solution.

Benefits of Choosing Refurbished Field Cards:

  • Cost-Effective: Save up to 50–70% compared to new components.
  • Quick Availability: Refurbished units are often readily available, reducing downtime.
  • Environmentally Friendly: Promotes reuse and reduces e-waste.
  • Tested Performance: All refurbished units at Shawa Technocraft go through rigorous quality checks.

We maintain a wide inventory of refurbished field cards from brands like Siemens, ABB, Allen Bradley, Schneider Electric, and more.
