12.4 BICO technology: interconnecting signals
12.4.1 Description
Description
Every drive contains a large number of interconnectable input and output variables and
internal control variables.
BICO technology (Binector Connector Technology) allows the drive to be adapted to a wide
variety of conditions.
Digital and analog signals, which can be interconnected as required by means of BICO
parameters, are identified by the prefix BI, BO, CI, or CO in their parameter name.
These parameters are identified accordingly in the parameter list or in the function diagrams.
Note
The STARTER parameterization and commissioning tool is recommended when using BICO
technology.
12.4.2 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.
