Question: Design a PLC program that will correctly execute the following industrial control process: Product in position (limit switch LS1 contacts close). START button is pressed

Design a PLC program that will correctly execute the following industrial control process: Product in position (limit switch LS1 contacts close). START button is pressed and conveyor motor starts to move product forward toward position A. Conveyor moves product forward to position A and stops (position is detected by eight OFF-to-ON output pulses from the encoder, which are counted by an up-counter. A time delay of 10 s occurs, after which the conveyor starts to move the product to limit switch LS2 and stops (LS2 contacts close when actuating arm is hit by product). An emergency STOP button is used to stop the process at any time. If sequence is interrupted by an emergency stop, counter and timer are automatically reset. Define all inputs and outputs and label the PLC diagram
