4.4 Using the Sequence Function
EC1000SA 4-27
e) Sequence loop
Either an entire sequence or a block of any number of steps within a sequence can be used as a
sequence loop. The loop is implemented based on the [jump step] and [jump times] parameters
specified for each step. The jump counter, which counts the number of jumps, functions within each
step to retain a count, so multiple loops can be implemented.
Figure 4-9
below illustrates the loop specification method and the step transitions.
Step 4
•
[jump step] 0
•
[jump times] NoCare
Step 5
•
[jump step] 0
•
[jump times] NoCare
Step 6
•
[jump step] 5
•
[jump times] 10
Step7
•
[jump step] 4
•
[jump times] 3
Specified times (10 times)
changes to [jump step]
Changes to next step,
after specified times
(10 times) jump
Specified times (3 times)
changes to [jump step]

Notes -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[jump times] indicates the number of jumps. Consequently, loop times = jump times + 1.
In the example above, 10 jump times are specified for Step 6, so Step 5 and Step 6 are
executed 11 times.
