To ensure that the IO-Link sensor can be easily integrated into the control program, SICK also provides function blocks for many control systems. These function blocks make it easier to read and write the individual sensor parameters, for example, and provide support when it comes to interpreting the process data supplied by the IO-Link sensor.
