Hi,

When using the command ethercat download with type 'string'
I have always the error message: 'String too large'

my questions:
   Is type 'string' supported with command 'ethercat download' ?
   If yes, how should I specify the string ?


For 'upload' I can use the type string, it works.
but for 'download', the only solution that I found is encoding the string as a 
uint32.

Application context:
I need string to use the ASCII channel ( SDO 2026h) of an Kollmorgen AKD 
servodrive so that I can save or restore the servo drive configuration.

regards,
