I tried this method, and it does work, but not for every device. I have a device under my EtherCAT Master is ctrlX I/O Engineering which is configured using MDP (Modular Device Profile). For some reason, when I save the EtherCAT configuration to a file and import that file in ctrlX PLC Engineering, the device is not shown. If I add the device using fixed profile, it works correctly.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Update: Moved to own topic from this one.
We will check that again.
Could you send us an ctrlX IO Engineering project export as an example?

Thanks a lot and sorry for the confusion but I was talking off a project archive. There also the device descriptions can be included so we can have a better look.

I opened your project archive and transmitted data offline like described here (what you already tested). Could you please point out what is missing? On a first look all commissioned data is available.

That's very interesting. My results are not the same. When I try for the offline import in ctrlX PLC Engineering, this is all I see:
The SAFEX_C12 and Festo_ValveBus are not there. This must be a bug, no? I am on V1.18 of both I/O and PLC.

Should we have a direct meeting to go through the steps and see where something could get lost? Then please send a private message with your contact data.

In a meeting we found that in ctrlX PLC Engineering the real time data view needed to be changed from Data Layer to I/O view. Then everything could be imported correctly.
