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.

Overcurrent/Short-Circuit Protection  
The overcurrent protection allows only a specified amount of  
current through the output channels to protect the NI 9403E from  
short circuits. If the NI 9403E goes into an overcurrent state, the  
module sets all the DIO channels to high impedance for  
approximately 280 milliseconds. When the channels are in this  
state, the NI 9403E can accept new line direction configuration and  
output state data but cannot pass valid input data to the software.  
After the protection period, the NI 9403E automatically recovers to  
the latest direction configuration and output state. If the  
overcurrent condition still exists, the module again sets the  
channels to high impedance. This cycle continues until the  
overcurrent condition is removed. Refer to the Specifications  
section for more information about the maximum output current.  
Sleep Mode  
This module supports a low-power sleep mode. Support for sleep  
mode at the system level depends on the chassis that the module is  
plugged into. Refer to the chassis manual for information about  
support for sleep mode. If the chassis supports sleep mode, refer to  
the software help for information about enabling sleep mode. Visit

C Series documentation.  
Typically, when a system is in sleep mode, you cannot  
communicate with the modules. In sleep mode, the system  
consumes minimal power and may dissipate less heat than it does  
in normal mode. Refer to the Specifications section for more  
information about power consumption and thermal dissipation.
