Monitoring contact closure at an input
To ensure that the KPCI-PIO96 reliably monitors an open contact as an input-high condition,
connect a 10 k
Ω
pull-up resistor between the input line and a +5 VDC source. See Figure 3-4.

Eliminating contact bounce
The effects of contact bounce may be eliminated by programming in your application software.
However, it is often desirable to eliminate contact bounce from the signal, using a de-bounce
circuit between the contacts and the KPCI-PIO96 input. Figure 3-5 shows a typical de-bounce
circuit that can be used with Form C contacts.
