Configuring free message frames by means of BICO 

Overview 

For the "free message frame configuring using BICO", dedicated message frames for the 

data transmission are assigned to the associated drive objects (e.g. terminal modules). 

Message frame type: Free message frame configuring using BICO (only slaves)  
To allow SIMOTION to access the SINAMICS drive signals, e.g. I/Os, they must be 

interconnected to the SINAMICS using BICO to the message frame. 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: 
●  Configure a user-specific message frame 
●  Interconnect the message frame for TM31 
●  Create I/O variables in SIMOTION SCOUT 

Prerequisite 

You have already created a project and configured a drive.
