Configuration of the RK512 driver

The WCCOArk512 driver is started by the command line

WCCOArk512 [-num <driver number>]

Each driver running simultaneously must have a unique driver number so that the data points can be uniquely assigned to a driver.

If errors occur during program execution, for instance an invalid peripheral address is specified or the connection to the PLC fails, this is dealt with by sending the appropriate error data points to the Event Manager. The command line option -dbg 2 outputs on stderr all sent and received data plus the internal driver processes.
