Tags are refreshed on each occurrence the scanner connects to the controller
If a controller tag is scanned as invalid, all of it’s expanded (un-optimized) root tags will be marked as stale. For example, if a table is invalid, all of it’s table elements will stale or an integer scanned becomes invalid, all of its boolean, bit-picked, and integer values will stale.
Reconnect algorithm has been streamlined to minimize lag
