3.1.7.3 Count loop (FOR ... TO ..., ENDFOR)
The count loop is used if an operation must be repeated with a fixed number of runs.
Syntax
FOR <variable> = <initial value> TO <end value>
...
ENDFOR
Meaning
FOR: Initiates the count loop.
ENDFOR: Marks the end of the loop and results in a return jump to the beginning of the loop,
as long as the end value of the count has still not been reached.
<variable>: Count variable, which is incremented from the initial to the end value and is
increased by the value "1" at each run.
Type INT or REAL
Note:
The REAL type is used if R parameters are programmed for a count
loop, for example. If the count variable is of the REAL type, its value is
rounded to an integer.
<initial value>: Initial value of the count
Condition: The start value must be lower than the end value.
<full-scale
value>:
End value of the count
