Resubmission of initial report as per fda on 4/3/2019.The issue was investigated in detail.The provided log files showed that the position value of the encoder on the tube stand transverse axis was invalid.The motor controller indicated a defective sensor interface (error 30).The dead man grip was found activated during the error occurrence; it is assumed that the operator pressed the handle during the incident.Frequency inverter, engine and rotary encoder were replaced at the concerned site and returned for investigation.No external damage or corrosion could be found.The parts were installed on a test system.The described error could not be reproduced.Additionally, signal transmission errors were simulated as malfunction in the signal chain may have caused the incident.However, every time the system went into safe mode.The described failure case could not be reproduced.A final statement regarding the root cause of the described system behavior cannot be made.The spare part consumptions of the concerned frequency inverter cdf30.008 (material number 08673548), engine xy kpl (material number 07044261) and rotary encoder 12/13 bit ssi (material number 08687720) show values that are below the defined threshold.According to service information the problem did not recur after the mentioned parts were exchanged.
