Important:
Do not iterate within the loop too many times in a single scan.
The controller does not execute other statements in the routine until it completes the loop.
A major fault occurs when completing the loop takes longer than the watchdog timer for the
task.
Consider using a different construct, such as IF_THEN.
Description

This diagrams illustrates how a FOR_DO loop executes, and how an EXIT
statement leaves the loop early.
The FOR_DO loop executes a specific number of times. To stop the loop before the count reaches the last value, use an EXIT
statement.
