IIRC 5-series of Siemens Simatics did have something that were similar to Sequential Function Charts (if so name were certainly different, since it were before standard as Simatic 5 introduced in the 1979 ... wikipedia is a friend Graph5)..

I used it as a design tool when I was a student, and I then had to translate the program to hexadecimal instructions for a PB100 PLC.
However I never got to use it IRL, as well as PLCs.
