LOOP/LEND
- CIMON (Unlicensed)
The LOOP command is used for loop control by the repetition of LOOP to LEND.
It is repeated for a specified number of times from the position data number assigned to LOOP to the position data number assigned to LEND.
Nesting loop is allowed and LOOP / LEND have to be set as 'continuous control' type.
The table below illustrates an example of how the positioning commands in between LOOP and LEND are repeated for the number of times specified in the 'target address' of LOOP.
Position Data No. | Control Pattern | Interpolation | Acceleration Time | Deceleration Time | Control Code | Dwell Time | Operation Speed | Target Address |
1 | Continuous | Non-Interpolation | No. 1 | No. 1 | LOOP | 0 | 0 | 3 |
2 | Continuous | Non-Interpolation | No. 1 | No. 1 | ABS | 0 | 1000 |
|
3 | Continuous | Non-Interpolation | No. 1 | No. 1 | INC | 0 | 1500 | 2000 |
4 | Continuous | Non-Interpolation | No. 1 | No. 1 | ABS | 0 | 2000 |
|
5 | Continuous | Non-Interpolation | No. 1 | No. 1 | LEND | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Since the 'Target Address' of the LOOP is 3, the Position Data No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 commands are repeated for three times.
