How to map I/O to match the variables in the PLC_PRG

Hello!

I am connected to a ctrlX Core device (arm64) and I use PLC Engineering to write a PLC program code.

I try to map my variables for the input and output in the ctrlX Core to match my program but when I click on the "Edit IO mapping" I get an empty window.
How can I find at least the IO parameters name in my ctrlX Core so I can import the mapping as csv file?

As we can see on your screenshot there are already data available in the EtherCat configuration on your control. I agree to HmiGuide that you need to be logged off in the ctrlX PLC Engineering to add the realtime data to your project.

The EtherCat node will only be there if you added it either by importing an configruation from the EtherCat master on a control or out of a xml file. How to import the offline generated file is also described in the how to mentioned before.

For the errors described some more information like which steps you did exactly would interesting and/or some mor screenshots.
