I didn't think of it before, but you can probably also use a line
stretcher for this.
These devices are commonly used in residential / commercial security
alarms to enlongate the signals from fast-acting sensors (like
vibration sensors).
If the sensors react too quickly, the alarm panel might "miss" the
event entirely, hence the need to stretch the signal.
They are cheap. Under $10 wholesale.

Something like this one: http://www.unitedsecurity.com/Website%20PDFs/710.pdf
.....though this particular model might not be the best choice?

I've seen some that have adjustable stretch times.
Google pulse stretcher.

Or of course, the designs offered here will certainly work too if you
want to make your own board, etc...
If I were going this route, I'd use a PIC, or one of those NXP 8-pin
8051 types. LPC901?
Good luck.

Reset for PLC is so not like reset for uC.

Oops...

Two 4060's won't work because the LSBs aren't pinned out, but a 4060
and a 4024 will.
