1. General
1.1 About This Guide
This Quick Start Guide is designed to provide information necessary to quickly install and begin
operations with the ThinkIO-P. It begins with unpacking and ends with the ThinkIO-P being
ready for operation in an application development environment. It includes not only the
ThinkIO-P, but also, where applicable, makes references to optionally available WAGO-I/O-
SYSTEM-750/753 I/O modules. Operating system or application software descriptions are not
part of this guide. Refer to the appropriate programming guide or application documentation for
further information concerning software.
The use of this guide requires that all applicable safety requirements are complied with in order
to prevent bodily harm or damage to the equipment involved.
This guide is designed to be read sequentially and is, as such, a procedure in itself. Do not skip
over subjects unless they have been previously read and understood.
The information and all of the instructions and procedures provided in this guide must be taken
into account or complied with to avoid improper operation or damage to the equipment.
1.2 Requirements
This guide assumes that the ThinkIO-P application requirements and system configuration
have been defined and that this information and all other required elements of the application
are available to the integrator at the time the procedures of this guide are applied.
1.3 The ThinkIO-P
The ThinkIO-P is an industrial PC packaged in an assembly, 224 x 70 x 100 mm, for mounting
on a DIN rail. It can be complemented with WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM-750/753 input and output
modules using the optional WAGO interface module (K-Bus) for controlling of the I/O modules.

1.4 The WAGO Interface and I/O Modules
The WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM-750/753 families of industrial input and output modules is option-
ally available for usage with the ThinkIO-P. This option requires the WAGO interface module
(K-Bus) for interfacing between the ThinkIO-P and the WAGO I/O modules. Through the
WAGO interface module (K-Bus) access is gained to a wide variety of industrial digital and
analog input/output devices as well as special encoders and counters.
1.5 Unpacking the ThinkIO-P
The ThinkIO-P is shipped in appropriate packaging material. This packaging material should
be retained for future use if it is necessary to return the product for servicing.
To unpack the ThinkIO-P proceed as follows:
1. Observing ESD requirements, carefully open the packaging and remove its contents.
2. Verify that the contents are as described in the delivery document(s) and are not dam-
aged.
If anything is missing, damaged, or not as described by the packing list, contact Kontron
for further instructions. Do not proceed until notified by Kontron.
3. Dispose of the packaging material as appropriate.
1.6 Mounting
The ThinkIO-P is designed to be mounted on a securely fixed, grounded, top-hat DIN rail for
operation. If for any reason that this is not possible, it must be ensured that the ThinkIO-P is
placed on a secure, flat, level surface with ESD protection before being operated.
Kontron assumes no liability for any damage whatsoever resulting from the operation of an un-
securely fixed ThinkIO-P.
1.7 Software and Documentation
The ThinkIO-P is delivered initially with pre-installed software. This is to ensure that it may be
operated for application installation or development. In addition, software and product docu-
mentation are provided on accompanying CD-ROMs.
Warning!
The ThinkIO-P itself is delivered as a closed unit and must not be opened.
In particular, if the ThinkIO-P is provided with a WAGO interface module
(K-Bus) attached to it, the interface module is not removable. Except for
the backup battery which is accessible from the front, there are no user servi-
cable parts within the ThinkIO-P or WAGO interface module (K-Bus). Open-
ing or removing of any attached components except for the battery will void
the product warranty.

Before applying power to the ThinkIO-P, all interfacing cabling must be connected and, if re-
quired, the WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750/753 modules must be installed and their interfacing ca-
bling connected.
2.2 Power Requirements
The ThinkIO-P itself requires 24 V DC for operation. This is supplied via the X4 connector.
The optional WAGO-I/O-SYSTEM 750/753 modules have their own power input connections.
Refer to appropriate WAGO module documentation for the exact power and wiring connection
requirements.
Availability of appropriate power sources must be ensured prior to installation.
2.3 Installation of the ThinkIO-P
Using the application requirements as a guide, assemble the ThinkIO-P and the associated ap-
plication components. To achieve this, perform the following:
1. Mount the ThinkIO-P on the DIN rail or place on an appropriate surface.
2. If WAGO I/O modules are to be installed, refer to WAGO documentation for their assem-
bly.
3. Ensuring that no power is applied, connect all interfacing cables.
4. Verify the physical configuration with the application requirements. Resolve any anoma-
lies before proceeding.
Warning!
If the ThinkIO-P is to be operated with a CompactFlash card installed, it must
be installed before applying power to the system. The CompactFlash inter-
face is not a “hot plug” interface. In addition, do not remove the Compact-
Flash card with power applied to the system.
Failure to comply with this directive can result in damage to the Compact-
Flash card, and will result in improper operation of the system.
Note...
The ThinkIO-P provides 5 VDC internal system power for the WAGO I/O
modules (excluding the WAGO interface module (K-Bus)) up to a maximum
of 1 A of current. If more power is required for I/O modules, one or more
WAGO Internal System Supply modules (750-613) must be added as appro-
priate to provide additional module power.
Note...
If any connector protection caps were removed to install interfacing cables,
retain these caps for future use. They are special ESD protection devices for
the connectors on which they were installed, and they are required to be
installed if the connector is not used.

Initial OperationThinkIO™ - P QUICK START GUIDE
Page 5
3. Initial Operation
3.1 Power On
As stated previously, the ThinkIO-P is delivered with pre-configured software for initial opera-
tions. This software allows the ThinkIO-P to initialize itself and to boot the operating system.
Once the system has booted it is ready either for application development or the installation of
an application.
What transpires now depends on the system configuration and the application requirements.
Three possibilities exist: performance of a simple system operation verification; establishment
of the basis for application development or the installation of an application. The following chap-
ter provides only information and procedures to perform a system operational verification. For
assistance concerning application development refer to the appropriate ThinkIO-P Program-
ming Assistance Guides.
3.2 System Operation Verification
When power is applied to the ThinkIO-P the system initializes itself and then boots the operat-
ing system. At completion of the boot process, control of the system is available to an operator.
To proceed, perform the following:
1. Ensure that all interfacing cabling is properly connected.
2. Ensure that the main input power to the ThinkIO-P is correct: + 24 V DC.
3. If applicable, ensure that the input power to the WAGO interface module (K-Bus) and
the I/O modules is of the correct type and voltage.
4. Apply power to the system.
Note ...
The ThinkIO-P now initializes itself and boots the operating system. This can
take several minutes to be accomplished. At the end of this process, either an
operating system command prompt will appear on the display indicating that
the operator now has control or an appropriate graphic user interface (GUI) is
displayed allowing operator control of the system. Refer to the appropriate
software documentation for further information.
The operator can now determine the operational status of the system and also
make changes to the system software configuration such as setting the IP ad-
dress of the ThinkIO-P or deactivating the BootP server if required.

5. Verify the system operational status.
6. Upon completion of the system status verification either remove all power from the sys-
tem and dispose of the system as required or proceed with application development or
installation. For application development or installation, refer to the appropriate
ThinkIO-P guides.
Note ...
At this time there are several possibilities to assess the operational status of
the ThinkIO-P.
For example, during bootup the status LEDs are operated in accordance with
pre-programmed functionality. This information is contained in the Hardware
Reference Guide for the ThinkIO-P.
If access is available to the operating system, various configuration informa-
tion is available via OS functions. Refer to the appropriate Programming As-
sistance Guide for more information.
