Data type
The information on the data type can consist of the following two items (separated
by a slash):
• First item
Data type of the parameter
• Second item (for binector or connector input only)
Data type of the signal source to be interconnected (binector/connector out-
put)
Parameters can have the following data types:
Depending on the data type of the BICO input parameter (signal sink) and BICO
output parameter (signal source), the following combinations are possible when
BICO interconnections are established:
• 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

1 Exception:
BICO input parameters with data type "Unsigned32/FloatingPoint32" can also be interconnected with the following
BICO output parameters, despite the fact that these are not of the "FloatingPoint32" data type:
CO: r2050, CO: r2060
