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).

Description
BI 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
(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 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).
