BICO parameters
You can use the BICO parameters to define the sources of the input signals of a function.
This means that using BICO parameters you can define from which connectors and
binectors a function reads-in its input signals. thereby enabling you to "interconnect" the
functions stored in the devices in accordance with your requirements. Four different BICO
parameter types are available:
● Binector inputs: BI
● Connector inputs: CI
● Binector outputs: BO
● Connector outputs: CO
● Binector/connector outputs: CO/BO
Binector/connector outputs (CO/BO) are parameters that combine more than one binector
output in a single word (e.g. r0052 CO/BO: status word 1). Each bit in the word represents a
digital (binary) signal. This feature reduces the number of parameters and makes it easier to
set parameters by means of the serial interface (data transfer).
BICO parameters of type CO, BO, or CO/BO can be used more than once.
