This type of pin is a ground referenced input (DI) including a pulse counting (PI) feature.
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 section SW channels for Pulse Inputs.
The configurable features are controlled by a control signal:
pull-up enable selection
When the pull-up to internal +10V is enabled, it controls two input pins as one. The pairs are indicated with lower case characters in the pin table's Group column in section Pinout Map.

Note 1: A pull-up resistor is not selected.
Note 2:When pull-up resistor is selected.
Note 3: Exceeding the max values might cause damage to input.
Note 4: These parameters depend on software cycle time.
Note 5: Applies to inputs used as normal digital input. Violating this rating may lead to application program not noticing all input state transitions.
Note 6: Overload conditions
Note 7: Violating this rating may lead to system not recognizing all input state transitions.
Note 8: It is possible to configure a smaller minimum frequency for some of the pins, see I/O table (Information column) in section I/O List.
Note 9: tC denotes software cycle time.
Note10: Max value can be reached by 2-98% pulse ration.
