IMcInit()

IMcInit() sets the communication port, station number and baud rate.

void IMcInit(HardwareSerial& serialPort, uint8_t stationNo, long baudrate)

Commands

Command	Arguments	Return Value	Operation
`IMcInit(serialPort, stationNo, baudrate)`	`HardwareSerial& serialPort` — Communication Serial port `uint8_t stationNo` — Station number `long baudrate` — Baud rate	`void`	Sets the communication port, station number and baud rate.

IMcInit(Serial2, 1, 9600);  // MPAINO RS-485 example

Keep calling IMcProtocol() in loop().
Do not confuse hexadecimal addressing for X/Y with decimal addressing for M/D.
Do not use X/Y/M/D before allocating the pointers.
If Cnet or Modbus reallocates shared M/D memory at runtime, the addresses used by MC Protocol change. Complete all memory size settings in setup() and do not call them again at runtime.
Allocation functions do not return success status. For nonzero sizes, verify the corresponding global pointer is not nullptr before accessing it.
