and incrementing by one for the other modules. Specify the leading 0 in the numbering (do not
specify 1, but specify instead 01).
An authorized of an entry typically found in this field is as follows: 02
eIODI_Contact_str
Valid values are in the range between 01 and 08 for the modules with 8 contacts and between
01 and 16 for the modules with 16 contacts. Note contact numbers start with 01 and are
incremented by one. You must specify the leading 0 in the numbering (do not specify 1, but
specify instead 01). Note that some peripherals of National Instruments include labels and
documentations where contacts start numbering at 0 up to 7 (or 0 up to 15), whereas eIO starts
at 01 up to 08 (or 01 up tot 16).
This value refers to each individual contact, and is specified in the FieldPoint Explorer. Range
of values are 01 to 16 for FP-DI-301 module and 01 to 08 for the other digital input modules.

eIODI_ContactType_str
This parameter accepts the following values:
OS (in Dutch open schakelaar – open switch) meaning the contact is, in the base state, open
and can be switched on at set and remains on until switched off at reset
OD (in Dutch open drukknop – open push button) meaning the contact is in base state open
and can be switched on for a very short time and immediately fall back to the base state.
Typically used for push buttons that generate alarm.
GS (in Dutch gesloten schakelaar – closed switch) meaning the contact is in base state closed
and can be switched off at set and remains off until switched back on at reset.
GD (in Dutch gesloten drukknop – closed push button) meaning the contact is in base state
closed and can be switched off for a very short time and immediately fall back to the base
state.
An authorized of an entry typically found in this field is as follows: GD
eIODI_ALA_Descr_str
The alarm description field is a description defined in the eKERNEL_ALARM table for the
associated eIO module. In the authorized shown in
Table 24: eIO alarm description on
page 257, an alarm description D-INPUT is defined with matching records in the ALARM table,
as shown in
Table 24: eIO alarm description on page 257.
