PFI
M Series devices have up to 16 Programmable Function Interface (PFI) signals. In addition,
M Series devices have up to 32 lines of bidirectional DIO signals.
Each PFI can be individually configured as the following:
•
A static digital input
•
A static digital output
•
A timing input signal for AI, AO, DI, DO, or counter/timer functions
•
A timing output signal from AI, AO, DI, DO, or counter/timer functions
Each PFI input also has a programmable debouncing filter. Figure 8-1 shows the circuitry of
one PFI line. Each PFI line is similar.

x
is an integer
from 0 to 15). When a terminal is used as a static digital input or output, it is called P1.
