4.9 Configuring drive-related I/Os
4.9.4
Configuring free message frames by means of BICO
Overview
When "configuring free message frames by means of BICO", dedicated message frames for
data transfer are assigned to the associated drive objects (e.g. Terminal Modules). Message
frame type: Configuring free message frames by means of BICO (message frame 999)
In order to enable SIMOTION to access the SINAMICS drive signals, e.g. I/Os, they must be
interconnected to the message frame on SINAMICS using BICO. The "free message frame
configuring using" is a preferred solution when I/Os are to be divided channel-granular
between SIMOTION and SINAMICS and a module view is preferred.

Free message frame configuring using the TM31 as example
The example describes the interconnection of a signal to the TM31 connected to a
SIMOTION D410.
Steps in configuring user-specific message frames using BICO:
● Configuring a user-specific message frame
● Interconnecting the message frame for TM31
● Create I/O variables in SIMOTION SCOUT
Prerequisite
You have already created a project and configured a drive.
