MM4006 L o c a l Mode
If you want to create a loop that repeats a specified number of times, at the
while selection menu press the VA R . k e y . The next choice you have to
make is the number of times you want to repeat the loop. Enter the number
on the keypad and press VALID . The controller will write the necessary
commands to initialize a new variable, to increment
it every time the loop
executes and to verify that it reached the specified number.
After defining the initial loop parameters, the display shows the WHILE
Loop menu with two choices:
LINE WEND
Pressing L I N E w i l l e n t e r a Line E n t r y menu i d e n t i c a l t o t h e one
described in the Command Line Creation paragraph. Use it to create com-
mand lines that will be part of the while loop. Enter command lines as
described in the previous paragraph. When a line is terminated, the display
returns to the WHILE Loop menu. To enter a new line, press the
LINE
key again and repeat the operation.
To close the while loop, press the WEND k e y. This will add the appropri-
ate command t o close the loop and return the display to the Program
Creation menu.
With the functions described up to this point we can create a simplified
flowchart of the Program Creation menu (Fig. 2.12).
