8.1.2.2 SICK function block
With the Function Block Factory digital software service, SICK is providing a unique
possibility of generating specific PLC function blocks that go far beyond the range of
performance of Siemens function blocks. Further information about the exchanged
data and the connected devices is available here.
Function blocks for any IO-Link device (manufacturer-independent) can be generated
individually via the Function Block Factory. These function blocks are fully tested and
documented. They considerably facilitate and accelerate PLC programming and prevent
errors. This can save time and money in production processes.
Additional information on the Function Block Factory from SICK can be found on the

8.2 Dual Talk
8.2.1 Communication via REST-API
The SIG350 provides a REST API with JSON data format for accessing the data of the
connected devices. These operating instructions provide an overview of the available
device functions and the access mechanisms.
