2 Parameters
2.1 Overview of parameters
BICO: Full parameter name/Abbreviated name
The following abbreviations can appear in front of the BICO parameter name:
• BI:Binector Input
This parameter is used for selecting the source of a digital signal.
• BO:Binector Output
This parameter is available as a digital signal for interconnection with other
parameters.
• CI:Connector Input
This parameter is used for selecting the source of an "analog" signal.

• CO/BO:Connector/Binector Output
This parameter is available as an "analog" and digital signal for interconnection
with other parameters.
Note
CU/PM variants
A BICO input (BI/CI) cannot be interconnected with just any BICO output (BO/CO, signal
source).
When interconnecting a BICO input using the commissioning software, only the corresponding
possible signal sources are listed.
Function diagrams 1020 ... 1030 explain the symbols for BICO parameters and how to deal
with BICO technology.
Indicates for which Control Units (CU) and/or Power Modules (PM) the parameter is valid. If no
CU or PM is listed, then the parameter is valid for all variants.

2 Parameters
2.1 Overview of parameters
Calculated
Specifies whether the parameter is influenced by automatic calculations.
p0340 determines which calculations are to be performed:
• p0340 = 1 includes the calculations from p0340 = 2, 3, 4, 5.
• p0340 = 2 calculates the motor parameters (p0350 ... p0360, p0625).
• p0340 = 3 includes the calculations from p0340 = 4, 5.
• p0340 = 4 only calculates the controller parameters.
• p0340 = 5 only calculates the controller limits.
Note
For p3900 > 0, p0340 = 1 is also called automatically.
After p1900 = 1, 2, p0340 = 3 is also called automatically.
Parameters with a reference to p0340 after "Calculated" depend on the Power Module being
used and the motor. In this case, the values at "Factory setting" do not correspond to the actual
values because these values are calculated during the commissioning. This also applies to the
motor parameters.
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 output).
Parameters can have the following data types:
• Integer8I88-bit integer number
• Integer16I1616-bit integer number
• Integer32I3232-bit integer number
• Unsigned8U88 bits without sign
• Unsigned16U1616 bits without sign
• Unsigned32U3232 bits without sign
• FloatingPoint32Float32-bit floating point number
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:

Recommendation
In the case of a binector/connector input, the signal source of the
default BICO interconnection is specified. A non-indexed connector
output is assigned the index [0].
A different value may be displayed for certain parameters (e.g. p1800)
at the initial commissioning stage or when establishing the factory
settings.
Reason:
The setting of these parameters is determined by the operating
environment of the Control Unit (e.g. depending on device type, power
unit).
