2. You have a floor of conference rooms that all share some centralized hardware like DSP, AV Routing and a shared CEN-GWEXER gateway with multiple GLS-OIR-CSM-EX-BATT occupancy sensors. All the shared hardware can be defined in the Essentials configuration and bridged over an EISC to each program that needs access. The same device can even be exposed to multiple programs over different EISCs.
3. You have a SIMPL program that works for many room types, but because some rooms have different models of processors than others (CP3/CP3N/AV3/PRO3/DMPS3 variants), you have to maintain several versions of the program, compiled for each processor model to maintain access to features like the System Monitor slot. You can use Essentials running in a slot on a processor to expose the System Monitor and many other features of the processor, regardless of model. Now you only need to maintain a single SIMPL program defined for your most complex processor application (ex. PRO3)
## Example SIMPL Windows Program
We've provided an [example program](https://github.com/PepperDash/EssentialsSIMPLWindowsBridgeExample) for SIMPL Windows that works with the provided example Essentials configuration file `SIMPLBridgeExample_configurationFile.json`. Load Essentials and the example SIMPL program to two slots on the same processor and you can get a better idea of how to take advantage of SIMPL Windows bridging.
