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. For more information, refer to Epec Programming and Libraries Manual, section Programming 3610> I/O > Pulse Inputs.
Includes hysteresis

Note 1: Exceeding the max value might cause damage to input.
Note 2: tC denotes the software cycle time in milliseconds.
Note 3: 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 4: The maximum value can be reached with 50 % duty cycle.
Note 5: The maximum frequency sum for all the pins is 40 kHz.
Note 6: Includes hysteresis. The input state is maintained until the second voltage limit is exceeded:
