Interconnecting signals using BICO technology
To interconnect two signals, a BICO input parameter (signal sink) must be assigned to the
desired BICO output parameter (signal source).
The following information is required in order to connect a binector/connector input to a
binector/connector output:
•
Binectors:
Parameter number, bit number, and drive object ID
•
Connectors with no index:
Parameter number and drive object ID
•
Connectors with index:
Parameter number, index, and drive object ID
•
Data type (signal source for connector output parameter)
Figure 6-5 Interconnecting signals using BICO technology
Note
A connector input (CI) cannot be interconnected with any connector output (CO, signal
source). The same applies to the binector input (BI) and binector output (BO).
"Data type" in the parameter list provides information about the data type of the parameter
and the data type of the BICO parameter for each CI und BI parameter.
For CO and BO parameters, only the data type of the BICO parameter is given.
Notation:
• Data type BICO input: Data type parameter/Data type BICO parameter
Example: Unsigned32 / Integer16
•
Data type BICO output: Data type BICO parameter
Example: FloatingPoint32
The possible interconnections between BICO input (signal sink) and BICO output (signal
source) are described in the List Manual in the table "Possible combinations for BICO
interconnections" in the section "Explanations on the parameter list".
