SEEKING INDUSTRIAL PLC THAT REALLY FAILS AT ROLLOVER

Now please understand exactly what I am asking here before you respond. I am asking about INDUSTRIAL PLCs - not microwave controller chips, not the stuff in your kids toys - I can live without that crap. And I am talking about FAILURE - REFUSAL TO RUN ANY LONGER. SHUTTING DOWN THE SYSTEM TYPE FAILURE. I am not talking about - I am sending bad data to the billing dept. and the bills are screwed (oh woe). Billing is not essential to life. I want to hear about PLCs in current usage (NOT stuff retired years back) that shut things down if they are used during 1/1/00 - and I don't mean stuff that reboots to 1/1/90 if you cut the power - a thirty second fix - I mean stuff that has to be replaced.

Please include the manufacturer name, model #, serial #. The date of acquisition or of manufacture would be nice to have as well. This info will prevent false data from finding its way into my logs.
