22.2.4 Block repetition ($FOR)
$FOR <N> = <EXPR1>,<EXPR2>,<EXPR3> ... $ENDFOR
The following parameters are defined in this instruction.
When executing this instruction, <n> takes the value of <expr1> and it changes its value up
to the value of <expr2>, in steps indicated by <expr3>. At each step, it executes the blocks
contained between $FOR and $ENDFOR.
The $BREAK instruction lets ending block repetition even if the stop condition is not met.
The execution of the program will continue at the block after $ENDFOR.
The $CONTINUE instruction starts the next repetition even when the current one has not
finished. The blocks programmed after $CONTINUE up to $ENDFOR will be ignored in this
repetition.
<n> It may be an arithmetic parameter of a write variable.
<expr> It may be a number, parameter or arithmetic expressing whose result is a number.

N20 $FOR P1=0,10,2
N30...
N40...
N50...
N60 $ENDFOR
N70...
It executes blocks N30 through N50 from P1=0 until P1=10, in steps of 2 (thus 6 times).
...
N12 $FOR V.P.VAR_NAME=20,15,-1
N22...
N32...
N42 $ENDFOR
N52...
It executes blocks N22 through N32 in steps of -1 (thus 5 times) from V.P.VAR_NAME=20
to V.P.VAR_NAME=15.
...
N20 $FOR P1= 1,10,1
N30...
N40 $IF P2==2
N50 $BREAK
N60 $ENDIF
N70...
N80 $ENDFOR
...
Block repetition stops if P1 is greater than 10, or if P2 = 2.
