TOP Server Schneider M580 PLC - Bad Quality after Project Update

After pushing a project upload to my Schneider M580 device, I am no longer receiving Good Quality data in my clients once the PLC is set to Run. How can I resolve this?

In certain specific use cases of M580 PLCs using the TOP Server Modbus TCP/IP Ethernet Driver, it has been observed that the device will stop communicating with existing client connections after a project upload is complete.
 
A Wireshark capture may show the device sending an exception code 2 (illegal data address) during or after the project update.
This will have the TOP Server "Deactivate tags on illegal addresses" by default and not attempt to read them again until a Re-initialization of the TOP Server occurs.
 
Please follow the steps below to change this behavior:
 
To disable the Modbus Device setting in TOP Server 'Deactivate tags on illegal address':
  1. Open the TOP Server Project in the Configuration window
  2. Go to the Device Properties for the PLC in question
  3. Navigate to Error Handling
  4. Disable Deactivate tags on illegal address

Modifying this device property will require disconnecting any active clients or disconnecting the project from the runtime.
