Changeover of all the indexed parameters of the function data sets
between parameter indices 1, 2, 3 and 4 is always effected jointly.
With BICO parameters, you can determine the sources of the input
signals of a function block. This means that you can use BICO
parameters to define the connectors and binectors from which a
function block reads in its input signals. In this manner, you can "soft-
wire" the function blocks stored in the units to meet your requirements.
This is referred to as the BICO system.
For every BICO parameter, the type of input signals (connector or
binector) which you can connect to the inputs is specified. BICO
parameters have the following identification:
♦ B Binector parameter
for connecting binectors
♦ K Connector parameter
for connecting connectors with word length (16 bit)
♦ KK Connector parameter
for conneting connectors with double-word length (32 bit)
Reciprocal "softwiring" of binectors and connectors is not permitted.
However, you can always connect connector with word length and
double-word length to the connector parameters.
BICO parameters are available in two forms; they can either be
♦ non-indexed, or
♦ double-indexed.

Selected BICO parameters are put together in BICO data sets. These
parameters are marked in the function diagrams with the parameter
index .B.
The parameters concerned are double-indexed, which means that one
parameter value can be stored under each parameter index of these
parameters, i.e. a total of two parameter values can be stored.
The active BICO data set determines which value is currently being
used. If BICO data set 1 is active, the parameter value stored in
parameter index 1 is used. If BICO data set 2 is active, the parameter
value stored in parameter index 2 is used.
