I have a flow that is pulling data from a Rockwell PLC and sending it to a MySQL database. All steps have worked so far until we got the [TypeError: Unknown charset 'UTF5'] response from the debug node. Do AB PLCs use UTF5 charset? Or has this community developed a node to convert utf5 to utf8mb4? Any advice is appreciated!
