Action

An action can contain a series of instructions in IL or in ST, a lot of networks in Function Block Diagram (FBD) or in Ladder Diagram (LD), or again in Sequential Function Chart (SFC).

With the simplified steps an action is always connected to a step. In order to edit an action, click twice with the mouse on the step to which the action belongs. Or select the step and select the menu command ‘Extras’ ‘Zoom Action/Transition’. In addition, one input or output action per step is possible.

Actions of IEC step hang in the Object Organizer directly under their SFC-POU and are loaded with a doubleclick or by pressing <Enter> in their editor. New actions can be created with ‘Project’ ‘Add Action’. You can assign max. nine actions to one IEC step.
