Data type
The information on the data type can consist of the following two pieces of infor-
mation (separated by a slash):
• First information
Data type of the parameter
• Second information (only for binector or connector input)
Data type of the signal source to be interconnected (binector/connector
output).
The possible data types of parameters are as follows:
Depending on the data type of the BICO input parameter (signal sink) and BICO
output parameter (signal source) the following combinations are possible when
creating BICO interconnections:
• I8 Integer8 8-bit integer
• I16 Integer16 16-bit integer
• I32 Integer32 32-bit integer
• U8 Unsigned8 8 bits without sign
• U16 Unsigned16 16 bits without sign
• U32 Unsigned32 32 bits without sign
• Float FloatingPoint32 32-bit floating point number
