Now we want to assign the attached IO expansion module to the project. To do this, click on the
IO Allocation folder in the Project Information Window and expand the folder so that the
Expansion folder displays. Highlight (click) the Expansion folder, then double-click on Slot 1 to
display the IO Allocation dialog box:

Select HMC7-MI-01 from the list box. Make sure that the ‘Add tags to…’ option is checked, and
then click the OK button. The expansion module is registered in the project and internal tag
addresses are now available in the Tag database.

Note: if you are using your own HMC7000 to create a similar project, please remember that the
project must accurately reflect the IO expansion modules that are physically connected to the
base unit. If the expansion module is not specified correctly or does not exist, then any project
you download to the unit will not run.

Creating a Screen

In the Project Information Window, click and expand the Screens folder. By default, Screen1
and several keypads are already present.

For this sample project, we will need two screens. Therefore, highlight (click) the Screens folder,
then right-click to display a popup dialog box:

Select New Base Screen. Screen2 is created.
