Forces each coil (0X reference) in a sequence of coils to ei-
ther on or off. When broadcast, the function forces the same
coil references in all attached slaves.

Force Listen-Only Mode (04): Forces the addressed slave to
listen-only mode for Modbus communications. This isolates it
from the other devices on the network, allowing them to con-
tinue communicating without interruption from the addressed
slave. No response is returned.

When the slave enters listen-only mode, all active communi-
cation controls are turned off. The ready watchdog timer is
allowed to expire, locking the controls off. While in this mode,
any Modbus messages addressed to the slave or broadcast
are monitored, but the slave does not take any action or send
any responses.

The only function that will be processed after the mode is
entered will be the Restart Communications Option function
(function code 08, subfunction 01).
