Artis Q

Reason

Siemens is informing users of Artis systems equipped with a certain motor control unit, about a software error delivered starting May 2018. In affected Artis systems the movement of the floating tabletop may be blocked after a collision sensor has been activated during system movement. Usually activation of a collision sensor blocks all system movement but the floating tabletop, which is still possible to move. However, in the affected Artis systems movement of the floating tabletop is blocked as well.
