According to CIP Protocol Ed. 2.2 (Dec 2005), C-5.2.6 String Encodings:

a SHORT_STRING consists of a 1-Byte character count followed by count
characters (1 byte per character). Therefore, the Product Name attribute
field should have a maximum length of 33 bytes.

Kay,
Actually, it looks like there may be another interpretation. The product name is defined as (DeviceNet?) type SHORT_STRING. I don't know where this is defined but it looks like it may be: "a single byte length field and 'n' data bytes".
In which case the Product Name is being returned inside a longer field. The Product Name is less than 32 characters but the data field it is returned in is longer than 32 bytes.
EIP_check_interface() rejects the product name because is finds the length of the data returned >32, even though the string length is less than 32.

You're right in that the length check used the data package size, and the package contains BYTE length BYTE name[length]

So the actual name length is one less than the package byte count.
Then it's copied into a C char name[] with an added final '\0',
which adds another byte.
Strictly speaking, I need to check the length byte,
instead of silently expecting it to contain (package length-1).
OK, I'll do that.

Now where are we with CompactLogix?
What product name does it return?
How long is it? BTYE 51 + 51 characters?
Or does it return
  BYTE length=32
  char name[32]
  ... plus more junk to get a package of 52 bytes
