Is there a way to set a maximum output for the PID controller on the Talon SRX? I've searched through the CANTalon class as well as reading through the Software Reference manual and I've not found a way to limit the maximum throttle.

See section 16.10 in the software manual. Is that what you are looking for?

I had tried using ramp rate to help but I would rather be able to just hard-cap the throttle to a set maximum.

I would like to know this too. It seems like a major oversight if it's not there. The WPILib PIDController class provides this functionality.
