The first loop is the FOR loop and is used to repeat a specific number of times.This is the syntax of FOR loops in Structured Text for TeslaSCADA2:

for (count = initial_value; condition; increment){

<statement>;

}

Keyword that starts the FOR loop statement.

count = initial_value

This assignment operation is where you set the initial value you want to count from. Count is the variable name and initial_value is the value you want to start counting from.
