This type of pin is a digital input (DI) including a pulse counting (PI) feature.
This kind of pins have a pull-down resistor to ground
Pulse inputs can be used as a 1 or 2 channel pulse counter and they have a reset possibility. Possible software channels and pairs are listed in Epec Programming and Libraries Manual, section Programming 4602 > I/O > Pulse Inputs.
The configurable features are controlled by a control signal:
pull-up enable selection to internal +5 V

Note 1: Exceeding the max value might cause damage to input.
Note 2: tC denotes the software cycle time in milliseconds.
Note 3: The input resistance is typically 12 kΩ, while input voltage is < 15 V. When input voltage increases over 15 V, the input resistance decreases in a non-linear function.
Note 4: The pulse width must be greater that the software cycle time. For example with 50/50 pulse ratio, the pulse frequency is 1 / (2*pulse width).
Note 5: No hysteresis. State between voltages 2,5 V and 3,5 V is unknown.
Note 6: The maximum value can be reached with 50 % duty cycle.
Note 7: The maximum frequency sum for all the pins is 40 kHz.
