Introduction and hardware setup
Welcome to the Wincon-8000 user’s Quick Start manual. ICPDAS provides this
manual for new user how to install the hardware and software quick start.
1.1 Introduction
The main hardware of the WinCon-8000 embedded controller are depicted in
figure 1.1, which include VGA, USB, mouse, keyboard, compact flash, series,
Ethernet and an I/O slot standard interface . ICPDAS also provides another remote
I/O modules. You can communicate the remote I/O modules by pass through the
COM3 (RS-485 network). On the standard Ethernet port, you can use the intranet and
internet advantages such as www , ftp, SQL database application and so on.
Fig. 1-1
For The software develop, ICPDAS provides two DLL files, namely the
WinconSDK_DLL and the Wincon_DLL, for the I-8000 series modules which are used
in the Wincon-8000 Embedded Controller. The WinconSDK_DLL has all the
essential DLL functions designed for the I-8000 series modules for Microsoft
WinCon-8000 Getting Start Manual-- 3

WinCE.Net platform. It can be applied on embedded Visual C++, Visual studio 2003
C#.NET, and VB.NET on WinCE 4.1.Net (refer the figure 1.2), and even on the newer
platforms. Users can easily develop WinCE.NET applications on WinCon-8000 by
using this toolkit. The various functions in WinconSDK_DLL are divided into the
following sub-group functions for easy use in different applications. For more detail
please refer to the WinconSDK.DLL for C#.NET and VB.NET or WinconSDK.lib for
embedded Visual C++
Fig. 1-2
1.2 Hardware Setup( for W-8X3X Only)
There is the W-8731 hardware setup sample (Fig. 1-3). In the right side
connect the standard computer interface like 15 pin VGA port monitor (can
support the touch screen as HMI device), Keyboard, Mouse, and Ethernet. In the
middle and left area, you can plug in the ICPDAS’s I-8K andi-87K series I/O
modules. The W-87XX can plug in 7(max.) local I/O modules and W-83XX for
3(max.) local I/O modules. There is no I/O slot about W-80XX, so it can’t plug in
WinCon-8000 Getting Start Manual-- 4

any local I/O modules. On the under lift side, The COM2 is a standard 5 wire
RS232 com port. You can connect the standard RS232 device (modem …). The
COM3 is standard RS485 port. You can connect to the RS485 devices like
ICPDAS’s products I-7K series I/O modules andi-87KX expansion unit.
Fig. 1-3
By the Ethernet ,you can communicate to the Ethernet devices such as
I-7188EX(palm size Embedded Controller), Motion Controller(Galil’s 21XX), SQL
Server , mail Server, MMS Server, iPush Server and so on. (Fig. 1-4)

Fig. 1-4
If the devices connect was completed, please connect the DC 10V~30V input to
the under right side and frame ground to the earth ground finally(if you have earth
ground). Please attention that Wincon’s power consumption is low(typical 0.15A at
24VDC) , But On the Power On moment (in 200ms), the Wincon need more current to
start up (typical 1.2A at 24VDC).

1.3 Hardware Setup ( for W-8X4X only, Dual LAN version WinCon)
Another succeeding WinCon family is W-8X4X . Inheriting almost all
hardware features from W-8X3X, W-8X4X has the same user interface and OS
features. The only difference between W-8X4X and W-8X3X is that W-8X4X
adopts 2 USB ports and two 10/100M Ethernet ports instead of 2 PS2 jacks.(Fig.
1-5). In the left side connect the standard computer interface like 15 pin VGA port
monitor (can support the touch screen as HMI device), Keyboard(USB),
Mouse(USB), and Ethernet (10/100Base x2). In the middle and right-side area,
you can plug in the ICPDAS’s I-8K andi-87K series I/O modules. The W-874X
can plug in 7(max.) local I/O modules and W-834X for 3(max.) local I/O modules.
There is no I/O slot for W-804X, so it can’t plug in any local I/O modules. On the
under lift side, The COM2 is a standard 5 wire RS232 com port. You can connect
the standard RS232 device (modem …). The COM3 is standard RS485 port. You
can connect to the RS485 devices like ICPDAS’s products I-7K series I/O
modules andi-87KX expansion unit.

Dual Ethernet ports usually help customers with flexibility and extensibility.
System integrators can implement their network redundant policies(Fig.1-7), or to plan
their business systems and industrial Ethernet network in two separated network
segments to gain more network security. (Fig. 1-6)

If the devices connect was completed, please connect the DC 10V~30V input to
the under right side and frame ground to the earth ground finally(if you have earth
ground). Please attention that Wincon’s power consumption is low(typical 0.15A at
24VDC) , But On the Power On moment (in 200ms), the Wincon need more current to
start up (typical 1.2A at 24VDC).
