3.1.2 Interconnecting signals (BICO technology)  
A state-of-the-art drive unit must be able to interconnect internal and external 
signals (setpoint / actual values and control / status signal). This interconnection 
functionality must have a high degree of flexibility in order to be able to adapt the 
drive to new applications. Further, a high degree of usability is required, which also 
fulfills standard applications. This is the reason that within the MICROMASTER 
series of drive units, BICO technology (→ flexibility) and fast parameterization 
using parameters P0700 / P1000 (→ usability) or P0719 (→ combination 
P0700/P1000) have been introduced to be able to fulfill both of these requirements. 
 
3.1.2.1  Selecting the command source P0700 / selecting the setpoint source 
P1000 
The following parameters can be used to quickly interconnect setpoints and control 
signals: 
 P0700  "Selection of command source" 
 P1000  "Selection of setpoint source" 
These parameters are used to define via which interface the drive inverter receives 
the setpoint or the power-on/power-off command. The interfaces, listed in Table 
3-2 can be selected for the command source P0700.

The following internal or external sources / interfaces can be selected for the 
frequency setpoint source P1000. In addition to the main setpoint (1
st
 position), a 
supplementary setpoint (2
nd
 position) can be selected (refer to Table 3-3).
