7．Binary inputs and outputs
7.1 General description
PW466i has 8 binary inputs in two groups.
The first group of 8 binary inputs (A, B, C, D)
are on the front panel.
The second group of 4 binary inputs (E, F, G,
H) are on the rear panel.
7.2 Binary Input
The device has 8 binary inputs. Electricity is
isolated in A-H. Space contact or active
contact (10V-250V) can be set by software.
The threshold impedance for space contact is
shown below. The threshold impedance for
active contact can be set by software in 10V-
250V.
When connecting active contact, the polarity
should be correct, red to positive, black to
negative, otherwise, false tripping will occur.
The polarity for A-H shows below figure.

shown below:
7.4 Binary configuration
The software interface for binary configuration
(A-H) shows below.
----------------------------------------------
Notes：Any end of binary input is prohibited
from connecting with ground.
----------------------------------------------
7.5 Isolation of the binary inputs
All 8 binary inputs are gavanically isolated
from each other.
7.6 Threshold for the binary
inputs
The threshold of 8 binary inputs can be
independently set from the range of 10-
250Vdc.
7.7 Binary outputs
PW466i has 4 binary
outputs.
The binary outputs 1-4 are
placed on the rear panel.
These 4 binary outputs are potential free relay
contact output.

8．Getting ready for PC Controlled
Operation
8.1 General description
The PW466i is to be controlled by the external
PC via the Ethernet control cable.
PowerTest test software must be properly
installed on the PC to control PW466i. The
installation description of PowerTest test
system can be found in PowerTest user
manual.
To connect the computer to PW466i a
10M/100M Ethernet Network Interface Card
(NIC) must be installed in the PC. The
computer without network card could use a
UBS NIC. The drive program of NIC also
should be installed.
The computer with mounted NIC should be
able to log on Internet properly.
8.2 Set IP address
The IP address of PW466i is internally fixed as
192.168.1.133 when dispatched from the
factory.
8.3 Steps for setting IP address
in PC
After the PowerTest is installed we need to
set the IP address for the computer.
The IP address must be set as 192.168.1.*
The first three section can not be changed and
the last section can be the number among
2~254 (except 133).
Steps for setting IP address for computer.
Step 1: Left click ‘Start/Control panel/Network
connection’ ( or right click the icon of “Network
Neighbour” and left click the ‘Properties’ of
drop menu) on the desktop of win2000 or
winXP

19
PW466i Hardware Instruction Manual
Step 2: Right click ‘Local connection’ icon
Step 3: Left click the ‘Properties’
Step 4: Click the ‘Properties’ button
----------------------------------------------
Note: the last section of IP address can be
any number between 2-254 (except 133)
----------------------------------------------
Step 5: Make the settings
Select ‘Use the following IP address
Set ‘IP address’ as 192.168.1.2
Set ‘Subnet mask’ as 255.255.255.0
Press ‘OK’ button to confirm the setting
Step 6: Make the settings
In ‘Local connection’ window make the
following selection
Then click the ‘OK’ button to complete the IP
setting.

20
PW466i Hardware Instruction Manual
Step 7: Check if IP is set properly
If IP address is properly set we will see on the
right bottom corner the following display
If we see the following display on the right
bottom corner then we need to make the
check as mentioned bellow
Check if control cable is connected
Check if PW466i is powered up
Check if IP address is set properly
