Explanations:
1. No contact to drive the instruction is required.
2. See the specifications of each model for their range of use.

Explanations:
1. No operand. No contact to drive the instruction is required.
2. FOR instruction indicates FOR ~ NEXT loops executing back and forth N times before escaping for the next
execution.
3. N = K1 ~ K32,767. N is regarded as K1 when N ≤ 1.
4. When FOR~NEXT loops are not executed, the user can use the CJ instruction to escape the loops.
5. Error will occur when
a) NEXT instruction is before FOR instruction.
b) FOR instruction exists but NEXT instruction does not exist.
c) There is NEXT instruction after FEND or END instruction.
d) The number of instructions between FOR ~ NEXT differs.
6. FOR~NEXT loops can be nested for maximum five levels. Be careful that if there are too many loops, the
increased PLC scan time may cause timeout of watchdog timer and error. Users can use WDT instruction to
modify this problem.
Program Example 1:
After program A has been executed for 3 times, it will resume its execution after NEXT instruction. Program B will be
executed for 4 times whenever program A is executed once. Therefore, program B will be executed 3 × 4 = 12 times
in total.
