+ * CMRIbus
+ * =======
+ * To define a CMRI bus, example syntax:
+ *    CMRIbus::create(bus, serial, baud[, cycletime[, pin]]);
+ * 
+ * bus = 0-255
+ * serial = serial port to be used (e.g. Serial3)
+ * baud = baud rate (9600, 19200, 28800, 57600 or 115200)
+ * cycletime = minimum time between successive updates/reads of a node in millisecs (default 500ms)
+ * pin = pin number connected to RS485 module's DE and !RE terminals for half-duplex operation (default VPIN_NONE)
+ * 
+ * Each bus must use a different serial port.
+ * 
+ * IMPORTANT: If you are using ArduinoCMRI library code by Michael Adams, at the time of writing this library
+ * is not compliant with the LCS-9.10.1 specification for CMRInet protocol.  
+ * Various work-arounds may be enabled within the driver by adding the following line to your config.h file,
+ * to allow nodes running the ArduinoCMRI library to communicate:
+ * 
+ *  #define ARDUINOCMRI_COMPATIBLE
+ * 
+ * CMRINode
+ * ========
+ * To define a CMRI node and associate it with a CMRI bus,
+ *    CMRInode::create(firstVPIN, numVPINs, bus, address, type [, inputs, outputs]);
+ * 
+ * firstVPIN = first vpin in block allocated to this device
+ * numVPINs = number of vpins (e.g. 72 for an SMINI node)
+ * bus = 0-255
+ * address = 0-127
+ * type = 'M' for SMINI (fixed 24 inputs and 48 outputs)
+ *        'C' for CPNODE (16 to 144 inputs/outputs in groups of 8)
+ *        (other types are not supported at this time).
+ * inputs = number of inputs (CPNODE only)
+ * outputs = number of outputs (CPNODE only)
+ * 
+ * Reference: "LCS-9.10.1
