I say this because I was talking to a few CSA's at a week two event, and more than half of the issues with FMS malfunctions were robot-based and not field-based. Many of us are eager to blame the field equipment on faults, but that's rarely the case. Usually it's something with the robot.
Unfortunately we will not be posting code or pictures of our wiring.

Later inspection from the FTA, CSA, as well as a National Instruments rep yielded no result. The code was ruled out as a non-issue.

EDIT - We later attempted to replicate the failure using FMS simulation software provided to us by the CSA. All attempts at replication failed.
