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.
Import I/O Modular Device Profile

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.
