PFI
NI 6612 devices have up to 40 Programmable Function Interface (PFI) signals.
Each PFI can be individually configured as the following:
•
A static digital input
•
A static digital output
•
A timing input signal for DI, DO, or counter/timer functions
•
A timing output signal from DI, DO, or counter/timer functions
Each PFI input also has a programmable debouncing filter. Figure 4-1 shows the circuitry of one
PFI line. Each PFI line is similar.
Figure 4-1.
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 39). When a terminal is used as a static digital input or output, it is called P0.
x
or P1.
x
.
On the I/O connector, each terminal is labeled PFI
x
/P0.
x
or PFI
x
/P1.
x
.
The voltage input and output levels and the current drive levels of the PFI signals are listed in
the specifications of your device.
