Interconnecting Signals Using Bico Technology - Siemens SINAMICS S120 Function Manual

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 the 32-bit format. It can be used to emulate words (16
bit), double words (32 bit) or analog signals. Connectors are subdivided into connector inputs
(signal sink) and connector outputs (signal source).
The options for interconnecting connectors are restricted to ensure that performance is not
adversely affected.

Interconnecting signals using BICO technology

To interconnect two signals, a BICO input parameter (signal sink) must be assigned to the
required BICO output parameter (signal source).
The following information is required for connecting a binector/connector input to a
binector/connector output:
● Binectors: Parameter number, bit number, and drive object ID
● Connectors with no index: Parameter number and drive object ID
● Connectors with index: Parameter number, index, and drive object ID
● Data type (signal source for connector output parameter)
