Operation
9.1 Basic information
Uncommissioned data sets
Drive commissioning can be completed even if uncommissioned data sets (EDS, DDS) are
available.
Uncommissioned data sets are marked as "uncommissioned".
The attributes are displayed in STARTER or in the expert list or OPs.
Activating these data sets is not permitted and any attempt to do so will be rejected with an
error.
Assigning these data sets to a drive data set (DDS) is only possible by means of a
commissioning step (p0009 ≠ 0, p0010 ≠ 0).
Note
If there is no DDS dataset with the attribute "commissioned", the drive remains in a controller
inhibit state.

BICO technology: Interconnecting signals

9.1.5.1

Description

Description
Every drive contains a large number of interconnectable input and output variables and
internal control variables.
BICO technology (Binector Connector Technology) allows the drive to be adapted to a wide
variety of conditions.
Digital and analog signals, which can be interconnected as required by means of BICO
parameters, are identified by the prefix BI, BO, CI, or CO in their parameter name.
These parameters are identified accordingly in the parameter list or in the function diagrams.
Note
The STARTER parameterization and commissioning tool is recommended when using BICO
technology.
9.1.5.2

Binectors, connectors

Binectors, BI: Binector Input, BO: Binector Output
A binector is a digital (binary) signal without a unit which can assume the value 0 or 1.
Binectors are subdivided into binector inputs (signal sink) and binector outputs (signal
source).
