The EtherCAT variables in MULTIPROG
It is recommended to assign the EtherCAT variables in the I/O configuration
of MULTIPROG to the tECIO task (see Figure 43).
When <Insert EtherCAT configuration into the SPS project> is selected, the
variables are inserted into the project (see: Figure 43).
The ECIO_Variables group is reserved for the EtherCAT® add-on. All
variables already existing in this group are overwritten by the add-on. You
should thus not insert any of your own variables into this group and also
make no other changes.

Renaming EtherCAT variables
Important!
Renaming the EtherCAT variables must be done with the EC-Engineer,
not with MULTIPROG.
If you want to assign your own names for the EtherCAT variables, proceed
as follows. Start <EtherCAT configuration without alterations to topology>
