9.1 Basic information
9.1.5.1 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).

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).

9.1.5.2 Interconnecting signals using 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 in order to interconnect a binector/connector input with
a binector/connector output:
● Binectors: Parameter number, bit number, and drive object ID
● Connectors with no index: Parameter number and drive object ID
