Is it possible to change the 1500 hardware in the SIM template project?  
I changed the CPU without issue. Now i’d like to add remote IO.  
I would also like to remove the extra ai cards. I don’t need 3.

My project now goes into error - diagnostic buffer shows FC9000 (template) error.  
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Deleting or changing the address of any of the template cards in slots 2-5 renders an error in PLC SIM. Diagnostics point to FC9000.

This is what i’m stuck with at the moment.

I read this tutorial on how to configure my own Hardware config but it does not work for me.
