Using AKD I/O in PxMM KAS IDE project

In the IDE project , the way to read/write an  AKD analog or digital  IO  is to first link a variable in the dictionary to the I/O point as follows:

- Go to the AKD drive item in the EtherCAT section of the project tree. Double click on the specific AKD to open up the "Ethercat:AKD" set of tabs in the IDE Workspace.

-Then click on the I/O tab. Go down to the PLC Variable entry box for the Analog input and double click or right click ,then select "Map"

- This open up a dialog box to map an existing variable in the project dictionary or create a new one.
