Tip

The command is not integrated in the default menu. You can add it by means of the Tools → Customize dialog in the Devices category. For more information, see: Customizing Menus

Function: The command opens the default dialog for saving a file to the local file system. You can define a name and a location for an XML file where CODESYS should save the EtherCAT configuration of the EtherCAT Master which is currently selected in the device tree. This may be necessary in order to operate an external EtherCAT stack.
