CODESYS Profinet Controller - Reconnection Issue

I have a customer who is using the CODESYS Profinet controller to connect to a custom device. When they disconnect and then reconnect the ethernet cable they will frequently not be able to reconnect and they get a "Controller's IP address is already used by another device" in the PN_Controller status field. They've connected the device to a Siemens PLC and have not seen the same issues. They have assured me that there are not other devices connected concurrently to the ctrlX Core. I've attached the log from the Profinet Controller.

Does anyone have suggestions for troubleshooting?

My apologies for the delay.

I was able to borrow the Profinet device from the customer to test on my own setup. I wasn't able to recreate the behavior they were seeing. 

I suspected there may have been an issue with the original version update we performed on the core, so I reimaged their core with a micro SD card and this has fixed their problem. When we originally upgraded their core from 1.12 to 1.20 we updated all of the system apps with the web UI, so it would appear there is some issue with that method.
