Binectors, BI: Binector input, BO: Binector output
A binector is a unitless digital (binary) signal that can assume a value of 0 or 1.
Binectors are subdivided into binector inputs (signal sink) and binector outputs (signal
source).

Connectors, CI: Connector input, CO: Connector output
A connector is a digital signal, e.g. in 32-bit format. It can be used to emulate words (16 bits),
double words (32 bits) or analog signals. Connectors are subdivided into connector inputs
(signal sink) and connector outputs (signal source).

Interconnecting signals with BICO technology
To interconnect two signals, a BICO input parameter (signal sink) must be assigned to the
desired BICO output parameter (signal source).
The following information is required to connect a binector/connector input to a
binector/connector output:
● Binectors: Parameter number, bit number and drive object ID
● Connectors without an index: Parameter number and drive object ID
● Connectors with an index: Parameter number, index and drive object ID
● Data type (signal source for connector output parameter)
