YBM Annulus Ion Pump Rails

The annulus ion pump for the Y-Beam manifold railed on Saturday around 9:00 PM local time.  However, the signal for the controller did an odd oscillation before railing, see attached plot.  Nothing noticed in the main vacuum volume signals (pressure rise), we will diagnose this system as soon as possible, we need to verify what the problem is, the ion pump body or the controller.
