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.
