    4. Functions Digital Filter Function of Input Channels <PIO-64/64L(PCI)>, <PI-128L(PCI)> are equipped with a digital filter function for input signals. This function provides all input channels with a means of cutting chattering and noise. Digital Filter Function Principle To use this function, you must set a filter time. The function circuits will then check all input signals synchronizing with the clock.

  • Page 46: Interrupt Control Function

    4. Functions Interrupt Control Function The <PIO-64/64L(PCI)> and <PO-128L(PCI)> can use up to 16 channels of input signals as interrupt request signals. The input signals available as interrupt request signals are I-00 to I-17. The board can generate an interrupt request signal to the PC when the input signal change from High to Low or from Low to High.
