Binectors are subdivided into binector inputs (signal sink) and binector outputs (signal
source).
Table 12-3 Binectors
Abbreviation Symbol Name Description
BI Binector input
Binector input
(signal sink)
Can be interconnected to a binector output as
source.
The number of the binector output must be
entered as a parameter value.
BO Binector output
Binector output
(signal source)
Can be used as a source for a binector input.
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.
Table 12-4 Connectors
Abbreviation Symbol Name Description
CI Connector input
Connector input
(signal sink)
Can be interconnected to a connector output as
source.
The number of the connector output must be
entered as a parameter value.
CO Connector output
Connector output
(signal source)
Can be used as a source for a connector input.
12.4.3 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)
