Each channel has a DIO pin to which you can connect a digital input or output device. The 32 DIO channels are internally referenced to COM, so you can use any of the four COM lines as a reference for the external signal.
You can independently configure each DIO channel in software for input or output. The DIO channels have Schmitt trigger inputs and are compatible with 5 V TTL logic devices. Each input channel has hysteresis for improved performance with noisy and non-monotonic input signals. Each channel also has a pull-down resistor and includes overvoltage, overcurrent, and short-circuit protection. Refer to the Specifications section for more information about input thresholds and overvoltage protection. Refer to the
Overcurrent/Short-Circuit Protection section for more
information about overcurrent and short-circuit protection.
