7.1.1.4 BICO technology: Interconnecting signals
Every SINAMICS DCP contains a large number of interconnectable input and output
variables and internal control variables.
The SINAMICS DCP can be adapted to a wide range of requirements using BICO
technology (Binector Connector Technology).
Digital and analog signals, which can be interconnected as required by means of BICO
parameters, are identified by the prefix BI, BO, CI, or CO in their parameter name.
These parameters are identified accordingly in the parameter list or in the function diagrams.
Note
The STARTER comm
issioning tool is recommended when using BICO technology.
Binectors, BI: Binector input, BO: Binector output
A binector is a unitless digital (binary) signal that can assume a value of 0 or 1.
Binectors are subdivided into binector inputs (signal sink) and binector outputs (signal
source).

BI
Binector input
(signal sink)
Can be interconnected to a binector output as
source.
The number of the binector output must be
entered as a parameter value.
BO Binector output
(signal source)
Can be used as a source for a binector input.
