These qualifiers was handled by the Sfcactioncontrol function block of the iecsfc.library, which automatically is Included in a project by the SFC Plug-ins.
The available qualifiers:

The action would be started when the step becomes active and would be continued after the step is deactivated, until the Act Ion gets reset. |
L |
Time Limited |
The action is started when the step becomes active and it'll continue until the step goes inactive or a set time ha S passed. |
D |
Time Delayed |
A Delay Timer is started when the step becomes active. If the step is still active after the time delay, the action would start and continue until it gets deactivated |
P |

The action is started when the step becomes active/deactive and would be executed once. |
