10.4.3  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)

Figure 10-8  Interconnecting signals using BICO technology 
Note 
A connector input (CI) cannot be interconnected with any connector output (CO, signal 
source). The same applies to the binector input (BI) and binector output (BO). 
For each CI and BI parameter, the parameter list shows under "data type" the information 
on the data type of the parameter and the data type of the BICO parameter. 
For CO parameters and BO parameters, only the data type of the BICO parameter is 
shown. 
Notation:
Data types BICO input: Data type parameter / Data type BICO parameter 
Example: Unsigned32 / Integer16 
Data types BICO output: Data type BICO parameter 
Example: FloatingPoint32 
The possible interconnections between the BICO input (signal sink) and the BICO output 
(signal source) are listed in the following documents: 
References: SINAMICS S110 List Manual 
 Section "Explanation of list of parameters", table "Possible combinations for BICO 
interconnections". 
The BICO parameter interconnection can be implemented in different command data sets 
(CDS). The different interconnections are activated by switching data sets. Interconnections 
across drive objects are also possible.
