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.
Figure 8-1. M Series PFI Circuitry
When a terminal is used as a timing input or output signal, it is called PFI x (where x is an integer
from 0 to 15). When a terminal is used as a static digital input or output, it is called P1.x or P2.x.
On the I/O connector, each terminal is labeled PFI x/P1 or PFI x/P2.
