Flexy Modbus server comms loss

#1

When my Flexy loses comms with a TCPIP modbus device, the tag holds the last good Value, can I make it so when comms is lost to a device the associated tags show bad data or low / 0, something to indicate a bad state.
Or can I create a tag that show the comms to the device as healthy or not.(I’d rather the first solution).
