TB017 Rev1 Year 2000 Compliance
Overview
In reply to some of our customers concerns the following is in regard to the year 2000 compliance provisions
of the computer system in Centroid Controls
Software Provisions
Functions calculations and other computing processes of the software perform in a consistent manner
regardless of the date and time on which the processes are actually performed and regardless of the date
input to the software whether before on or after January 1 2000 and whether or not the dates are affected
by leap years
The software accepts calculates compares sorts extracts sequences and otherwise processes date inputs
and date values and returns date values in a consistent manner regardless of the dates used whether before
on or after January 1 2000
The software will function without interruption caused by the date in time on which the processes are actually
performed or by the date input to the software whether before on or after January 1 2000
The software observes date information in two application features to include "motor temperature estimation"
and "keylock time out" and does not output any date information It does not require any date input to the
software directly and is date independent
Hardware Test
The hardware of a few previously purchased controls may not show the correct year after the change of the
millennium Again this will not effect the operation of the control software
If you would like to test the computers System Clock BIOS Basic Input Output Systems and RTC Real
Time Clock there are several FREE test programs on the Internet You can download a free test program at;
http //www securenet org
for DOS based systems The free version will test your hardware clock and give a
report of what passes and what will fail
