When do you need to use BICO technology?
BICO technology allows you to adapt the inverter to a wide range of different requirements.
This does not necessarily have to involve highly complex functions.
Example 1: Assign a different function to a digital input.
Example 2: Switch over the speed setpoint from the fixed frequency to the analog input.
What precautions should you take when using BICO technology?
Always apply caution when handling internal interconnections. Note which changes you
make as you go along since the process of analyzing them later can be quite difficult.
The STARTER commissioning tool offers various screens that make it much easier for you
to use BICO technology. The signals that you can interconnect are displayed in plain text,
which means that you do not need any prior knowledge of BICO technology.
What sources of information do you need to help you set parameters using BICO
technology?
● This manual is sufficient for simple signal interconnections, e.g. assigning a different
● The parameter list in the List Manual is sufficient for signal interconnections that go
● You can also refer to the function diagrams in the List Manual for complex signal

BICO technology: example

Example: Shifting a basic PLC functionality into the inverter
A conveyor system is to be configured in such a way that it can only start when two signals
are present simultaneously. These could be the following signals, for example:
● The light barrier has been activated
● The protective door is closed
The task is realized by inserting free blocks between the digital input 0 and the internal ON
command for the motor and interconnecting them.
