So here is a weird issue I'm having. Recently, we have a group of tags that keep losing connection with the Modbus somehow. But weirdly enough, the fix is just to delete the OPC Item Path on the tag and re-enter it. This has happened twice in about two weeks. What could be the issue here and how could we prevent it?

Thanks!
