ThinkTop firmware update,
December 2021

With the new functionality implemented in the ThinkTop V50 and V70’s, new IODD’s and Interface
Descriptions have also been generated.

Both new and old IODD’s are included in the 2nd revision of the “ThinkTop IO-Link zip-file”.
It’s recommended to just add them all to the preferred configuration tool. The configuration tool will
automatically match the correct IODD with the connected ThinkTop.

To determine which Interface Description, match the ThinkTop


at hand, refer to the control board revision found inside the
ThinkTop as shown in the picture here:

• The interface description marked “Before Dec. 2021” match


ThinkTop control boards of revisions AA to AD which have
the original firmware functionality.

• The interface description marked “After Dec. 2021” match


ThinkTop control boards of revision AE or later which have
the new additional functionality.

The control board revision can be


found in the marked area.
