6.1.2.3 Creating Variables
For the ECX-EC special tabs are created under
Device Specific
in the EtherCAT Workbench, see
Fig. 7 and Fig. 8.
These tabs simplify the creation of variables and allow the transmission to the corresponding
opposite side. (In principle this is also possible without this special configuration tab, see 6.2.3 for
details.)

In this example the variables are created exactly as shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8.
