To simplify operation of the functions of SIMATIC VS120 Vision Sensor, there is a function
block FB1 for IO operations.
In addition to the SIMATIC S7 system mechanisms for the integration of SIMATIC VS120
Vision Sensor in a PROFIBUS DP or PROFINET IO environment, FB1 simplifies the
software integration in control programs.
