## When creating a SIMPL Windows program for a 2 Series DMPS, DO NOT select the control system at program creation ## When creating a SIMPL Windows program for a 2 Series DMPS, DO NOT select the control system at program creation
When you create a new SIMPL Windows program, you get the option to select which control system this program is being created for. Without selecting this option, you won't be able to connect any of your logic to any of the hardware, and your program won't do anything useful. You *can* create a program without a control system, but this is usually to create a SIMPL Macro, which is then completed and added to a different SIMPL program. All this to say, a SIMPL Windows program without a control system at the top of the hardware tree is not useful on its own.
