Conditional block branching can be used within a loop, but the entire branch
operation must be within the loop.
Correct: Incorrect:
LOOP(809) LOOP(809)
IF(802) IF(802)
IF(802) IF(802)
IEND(804) IEND(804)
IEND(804) LEND(810)
LEND(810) IEND(804)
NOP processing will be performed if LOOP(809) is not executed.
An error will occur and the Error Flag will turn ON if a Loop Control Instruction
is not in a block program.
Examples When CIO 000000 is ON in the following example, the block program is exe-
cuted. After “A” is executed, “B” and the IORF(184) after it will be executed
repeatedly until CIO 000001 is ON, at which time C will be executed and the
block program will end.
Name Label Operation
Error Flag ER ON if a Loop Control Instruction is not in a block program.
OFF in all other cases.
