584 Method
The LOOP command is at the beginning of the loop for While loops. If the arrow
has been dragged to a command after the LOOP command, another arrow is
automatically set from the previous command back to the LOOP command. As
soon as one stop criterion is fulfilled (case 2), the command after the loop is car-
ried out. If no stop criterion is fulfilled, (case 1), the loop is run through. It is pos-
sible with certain stop criteria that the loop is never run through.
Note
Nested and overlapping loops are not allowed.
Parameters
The parameters for the command LOOP are configured in the following dialog win-
dow:
• LOOP
LOOP - properties
Command name
25 characters, [ Loop # ]
Name of the command.
Stop criteria
Definition of three possible stop criteria. The first stop criterion to be fulfilled
will stop the loop.
Maximum run number
[ on ], off
Switching on/off the stop criterion.
0 ... [ 1 ] ... 999
Definition of the maximum number of runs of Repeat and While loops. If the
maximum number of runs is reached, the loop will be cancelled by the time
the LOOP command is started again.
Maximum run time
[ on ], off
Switching on/off the stop criterion.
0 ... 999.9; [ min ], s
Definition of the maximum run time. The the run time is started by the time
the LOOP command is started for the first time. That means that the run
time for While loops is started only after the loop has been run through
once. If the maximum run time is reached, the loop will be cancelled by the
time the LOOP command is started again.
Note
The run time is paused if the method is halted with
[HOLD] .
