Whether a newly inserted step is an IEC step depends upon whether the menu
command 'Extras' 'Use IEC-Steps' has been chosen.
In the Object Organizer the actions hang directly underneath their respective SFC
POUs. New actions can be created with 'Project' 'Add Action'.
In order to use IEC steps you must include in your project the special SFC library
Iecsfc.lib .
