If you are just trying to process a bunch of data, such as a large number of .csv files, for example, you wouldn't "loop" a node, but rather gather the data together and process it all. This can be done using something like the Directory List node, and put the output of that into a CSV File node.
If you want to run a graph multiple times, you can use the Execute BRX Node, which can take a graph that is saved as a BRX and run it repeatedly, with Run Time parameters provided by the Execute BRX node from it's input, effectively looping the (sub) graph. This sub-graph could be as simple as a data aquisition node, a node that processes, and then a data publishing node, so you could effectively "loop" a node using this construct, although it is a bit clunky. We do have a request (PR 4580) to add looping into the LAE directly, but that is not yet scheduled for a release.
If you want to run a graph repeatedly in a scheduled or external manner, that is also possible, but you would need to have rights to our enterprise version of the software, so you can execute graphs in a command line fashion and either schedule or loop those graphs.
I hope this helps give you some different ideas of how you can accomplish your task, and with further info, perhaps we can help refine our suggestion.
Cheers
