Issue

In Schema 3.1, SCL_BaseSimpleTypes.xsd, log name is restricted to 64 characters, ref to tLogName element.
While in -7-2 ed2, clause 22.2, LogName is restricted to 32 chars.

Thus, if user configured a name longer than 32 and less than 64, it will be allowed by SCL, but the device won't be able to build its data model with the full name (maybe with the name truncated to 32).

Proposal

I believe the schema (represents configuration) shall change to 32 to reflect the correct restriction on ACSI class definition (represents the real data attribute).
