Occasionally when our application starts, it appears to get a "bad" connection to the OPC server.

Our application will attempt to read 2 OPC tags on startup.

So the following line will be executed
DAVtqResult[] results = _easyDaClient.ReadMultipleItems(argumentsList.ToArray());

The results show a comms error of some sort.
results[0].Vtq = {@09/03/2016 14:36:40; Bad CommFailure LimitOk (24)}

We're running Wonderware InTouch 10.5 with FS Gateway as the OPC server.

Once in every 10 times when we start Intouch and then our Application (that executes the above line) we get this error.
FS Gateway is in a “started” state.

To workaround this problem we have to restart the OPC server.. In this case FS Gateway.


Is there anything we can do to mitigate this error?

Thanks
