Hello all,

Is there any news on when it will be possible to transmit string types with the CIP ethernet/ip node?

It would save me a lot of time.

Hi @ALeman - which module is that node from? You may have to contact the author directly as it isn't something the core project maintains.

Look up that node in the FLOW tab and follow the GitHub link. Then you can open an issue and pose the question to the developer.
