Note that asynReport said "nQueued 5". That suggests the port was busy while 5 more I/O requests were queued up.
This looks like a device that is not responding.
Your original message said
`sometimes when the signal is noisy, the PV gets "stuck"`
What do you mean by "signal is noisy". The TCP messages should not be "noisy".

The command I use to configure the port is drvAsynIPPortConfigure. For some reason I had some trouble reproducing the problems but after a few IOC restarts I got the PVs stuck again.
asynReport 10 PortName gives the following:
c3-tsrv1-p16 multiDevice:No canBlock:Yes autoConnect:Yes
enabled:Yes connected:Yes numberConnects 1
nDevices 0 nQueued 5 blocked:No
asynManagerLock:No synchronousLock:Yes
exceptionActive:No exceptionUsers 1 exceptionNotifys 0
traceMask:0x1 traceIOMask:0x0 traceInfoMask:0x1

Port 10.17.2.60:4016: Connected
fd: 5
Characters written: 117
Characters read: 227
After running this, a few seconds later I got the message:
"2020/04/06 18:45:23.072801 c3-tsrv1-p16 XF:17ID-CT{RG:C3}T:1-SP: Timeout after reading 176 bytes "...<ff><ff><ff><ff><ff><ff><ff><ff><ff><ff><ff><ff><ff><ff><ff><ff><ff><ff><ff><ff>""
And then the PV started reading data again. I am not sure if the asynReport command is somehow fixing this or if it is just a coincidence.

What asyn driver are you using (drvAsynIPPort, drvAsynSerialPort, etc.)?
You should run the following to see if the problem is in the asyn driver
asynReport 10 PortName
where PortName is the name of the asyn port. That will tell you if the port is connected, etc.

Subject: StreamDevice, prevent records from getting "stuck"
For StreamDevice I notice that sometimes when the signal is noisy, the PV gets "stuck" if it makes one too many failed requests to the device. Getting "stuck" means that no matter how many times I process the PV with a StreamDevice OUT field, it does not seem to attempt to send anything to the device until I restart the IOC.
I see no technical reason why this must happen so I think this is probably something intentional in StreamDevice. Can I turn this off? I want the PV to always try to send a signal to the device, and if it can't I want to see the red letters saying there was a mismatch.
Is there any way to prevent the PVs from getting "stuck"?
