Figure [4-3] Segment Cycle Setting			4.2.1 Segment Loop Settings
Item	Name	Name Description
①	No	Set the program number to be executed in a loop.
②	Start Segment	Set the program segment that starts the partial loop operation in the programmed program.
③	End Segment	Set the program segment that terminates part of the loop in the set program.
④	Repeat	Set the number of loops for the part of the program that has been set to run repeatedly.
Things to note when setting up partial loops: (1) The start and end segment numbers cannot exceed the maximum segment number in the current program. (2) The starting segment number cannot be greater than or equal to the ending segment number. (3) If the end segment number is not 0, the start segment number cannot be set to 0 either. (4) If you do not use this part of the loop, please set the start and end segment numbers to 0, and the number of loops to 0. (5) If this part of the loop is used, the start and end numbers are not 0, and the minimum number of times is set to 1
