An action is called with
<Program_name>.<Action_name>
or
<Instance_name>.<Action_name>
Regard the notation in FBD (see example below)!
If it is required to call the action within its own block, i.e. in the program or function
block it belongs to, it is sufficient to just use the action name.
Examples for the call of the above described action from another POU:
Declaration for all examples:
PROGRAM PLC_PRG
