In general, issuing a diagnostic function to a remote device does not affect the
running of the user program in the remote device. Device memory bit and
register data addresses are not accessed by the diagnostics. However, certain
functions can optionally reset error counters in some remote devices.
A server device can, however, be forced into 'Listen Only Mode' in which it will
monitor the messages on the communications system but not respond to them.
This can affect the outcome of your application program if it depends upon any
further exchange of data with the remote device. Generally, the mode is forced to
remove a malfunctioning remote device from the communications system.
