'Seeking info about Industrial quality PLC that fails at rollover asked in the TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) Q&A Forum ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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. send reply to davisp1953@yahoo.com Thank you for your trouble Paul Davis -- Paul Davis (davisp1953@yahoo.com), January 03, 1999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Contribute an answer to "Seeking info about Industrial quality PLC that fails at rollover" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ timebomb2000@yourdon.com greenspun.com
