In the previous tutorial on Point IO (Tutorial Link), we’ve installed a SICK Sensor onto the 1734-IB8 input 0. We’ve also tested the sensor, input as well as the software to make sure that the data is sent to our PLC as expected. Now that we’ve established this link, we need to spend some time programming the input and going over a simple example of how it can be utilized in a practical application.
