System- and communication configuring D7-SYS - SIMADYN D  3-217 
Edition 12.2003 
3.19.1.2 BICO technology for SIMADYN D 
With MASTERDRIVES operator control devices, with BICO technology 
you can change interconnections between blocks. You can change 
configured software without using the CFC. You can change 
interconnections on a T400 technology board, Application module  
FM 458 or CPU module in a SIMADYN D subrack. 
!
 
DANGER 
•  BICO technology and the CFC test mode should not be used 
simultaneously. 
•  If you make online changes in the CFC test mode, then you 
must first re-compile before you use BICO technology. 
Changes made in the CFC only become effective on the display 
of the operator control device after compilation. 
•  If changes were made using BICO technology without saving 
them in the CPU change memory, then data consistency 
between the changes on the CPU and your configured software 
on the PC/PG are no longer guaranteed, and can no longer be 
established by updating the project. If you wish to avoid this 
inconsistent condition, you must first RESET the module 
before you use CFC in the test mode
 
 
 
NOTE 
If you have made interconnection changes using BICO technology, and 
then you activate the CFC test mode, a warning is displayed in the form 
of the "different software release" dialog box. 
 
You can configure the following D7-SYS connection data types of the 
blocks as technological connectors: 
 
 D7-SYS connection data type in CFC  Bool  Integer 
Double 
Integer 
Word Real  SDTime 
Data type of the technological 
connector in the parameter description 
O2 I2  I4  V2 I4  I4 
 
In order that you can change interconnections between blocks using 
BICO technology, you must, in addition to the parameters, still configure 
technological connectors at block outputs in the CFC. You can use block 
outputs with technological connectors to change the interconnection 
using BICO technology. 
Technological connectors are configured as follows: 
Designate the block output with a pseudo comment @TC_nnnn, with 
nnnn: four-digit technological connector number 0000 to 9999
