Question: Use ladder logic to implement a simple high level indicator and alarm for a tank. A panel implements a simple interface showing the tank level.

Use ladder logic to implement a simple high level indicator and alarm for a tank. A panel implements a simple interface showing the tank level. The panel has three lamps: green, yellow, and red. The panel also has an alarm horn and an alarm acknowledge button that turns off the alarm horn. No more than one light is on at any time:
Green lamp on when 5 inches tank level <50 inches
Yellow lamp on when 50 inches tank level <60 inches
Red lamp on when 60 inches tank level
In addition, when the level is greater than or equal to 60 inches, the alarm horn is turned on, and remains on until the level becomes less than 60 inches and the alarm acknowledge (ALM_ACK_PB) button is pressed. If the level is greater than or equal to 60 inches, pressing the alarm acknowledge button should not silence the alarm horn, even momentarily.
There are 3 level sensors, each corresponding to one of the boundary levels:
LS_1 is on when the tank level 5 inches
LS_2 is on when the tank level 50 inches
LS_3 is on when the tank level 60 inches
