To add and set the type of a project TPC or MSC:
1. Press the Add Controller button on the Controller toolbar
2. Use the Controller Properties pane to give the Controller a useful name, perhaps describing where in the
installation it is or what it controls
3. Use the type pull-down to select whether it is a TPC, MSC or MSC X.
4. Select the number of universes that the Controller supports (unless using the original MSC 1/2 hardware)
The Controller has now been added to the project.
If the project has a TPC with a TPC-RIO then the TPC-RIO will be configured automatically by the TPC. You can
add a TPC-RIO to a TPC in project by checking the 'Configure TPC-RIO' check box in the TPC's
To delete a project TPC or MSC:
1. Select the project TPC or MSC by clicking the left hand button, the row will highlight
2. Press Delete Controller on the Controller toolbar
IMPORTANT: Deleting a project TPC or MSC that has been patched will result in the loss of this patch data.

Once you have added and configured your project Controllers (all that is required for programming and simulating)
you must associate them with real Controllers on the network.
To associate a Controller:
1. Select the project Controller by clicking the left hand button, the row will highlight
2. In Controller Properties use the Device Serial pull-down to chose a real Controller of the same type to asso-
ciate (the serial number can be found on the base of the AVC, MSC 1, 2 & 4, TPC and rear of the MSC X)
3. The real Controller will move from the Unused Controllers list and fuse with the project Controller so com-
pleting the row details
To identify a Controller (beacon):
1. Select an associated project Controller or unused Controller
2. Press the Beacon button on the Controller toolbar, all the Controller's status LEDs will flash. The screen
backlight of the TPC will pulse.
3. Press Beacon again to return the Controller to normal operation
