Hello John,
A database modification may be enough to achieve a quiet console:
Have all the records that read the device disabled by a single control record, using the SDIS field.
Then one single toggle removes many error messages on the console.
I paste below an example from a lakeshore controller.

record(bo, "$(P):DISABLE") { |
field(DESC, "Disable comms") |
field(PINI, "YES") |
field(VAL, "0") |
field(OMSL, "supervisory") |
field(ZNAM, "Enabled") |
field(ONAM, "Disabled") |
}
record(stringin, "$(P):ID") { |
field(DTYP, "stream") |
field(SDIS, "$(P):DISABLE") |
field(INP, "@lakeshore336.proto getID $(PORT) $(ADDR)") |
field(SCAN, "$(SCAN) second") |
} |
I have seen people use some harmless status value of the device, scan
that record every 10 seconds, and use its SEVR as the disable input for
all other (faster) records polling the same device.
That way, when the device goes down the sources of error messages are
automatically reduced to one record every 10 seconds, connection status
is checked every 10 seconds, and the full set of fast scanning records
continues automatically when the device is back.
Note that the SDIS links pull records into one lock set. You might want
to set those to CA to avoid that.
