PLC Clock example by BIN95.com
This is a rung comment. The rung below is 60 second timer, all other rungs are counters driven by this timer. This is referred to as a cascading
programming methodology. You could design this PLC clock several different ways. We picked the most simplest for this example. 60 sec=minute,
60 min=hour, 24 hrs=day,365days=year

This rung/counter gives current years accumulated based on 365 days counted. We pre-plugged to year 2013. You might have expected a rung for
"Current Month" here (1-12), but for simplicity reasons we did not do that logic in the example. (As each month has different number of days in to
and would complicate login more than we wanted to in this example.)
