8.1.2 Using BICO technology
Description
Using BICO technology (Binector Connector Technology), process data can be freely
interconnected using the "standard" inverter parameterization. For this all values which can
be freely interconnected (for example, frequency setpoint, frequency actual value, current
actual value, etc.) are defined as "Connectors" and all digital signals which can be freely
interconnected (for example, status of a digital input, ON/OFF, message function when a
limit is violated etc.) are defined as "Binectors".
There are many input and output quantities as well as quantities within the closed-loop
control which can be interconnected in a inverter. It is possible to adapt the inverter to the
various requirements using BICO technology.
A binector is a digital (binary) signal without any units and which can either have the value of
0 or 1. Binectors always refer to functions and are sub-divided into binector inputs and
binector outputs (see the table below). In this case, the binector input is always designated
using a "P" parameter (e.g. P0840 BI: ON/OFF1), while the binector output is always
represented using an "r" parameter (e.g. r1025 BO: FF status).
As can be seen from the examples above, the binector parameters have the following
abbreviations in front of the parameter names:
BI: Binector Input, signal sink ("P" parameters)
The BI parameter can be interconnected with a binector output as a source, by entering the
parameter number of the binector output (BO parameter) as a value in the BI parameter.
BO: Binector Output, signal source ("r" parameters)
The BO parameter can be used as a source for BI parameters. For a particular
interconnection the BO parameter number must be entered into the BI parameter.
Example
Interconnecting the BO parameter r1025 with BI parameter P0840: → P0840 = 1025
