TCP connection reconnects every 60s

Whenever I open a connection it seems to disconnect and reconnect every 60s.

Logs from code running with only an onConnect handler:

the disconnection and reconnection are caused by the inactivity of the master after a certain amount of idle time. If the connection is busy, the connection stays open. With some PLCs, the connection timeout can be configured. Regardless, would you like to have an optional keepAlive function to keep the connection open ?

Can this behavior be added to the documentation. This will help the user know what functions they need to pass in.

sure no problem
