Be careful regarding that. Joe Herschberger from NI can answer this better than I can, however I've heard that there may be a limit on the number of jags due to the bandwidth of the serial port. The folks from CrossTheRoad Electronics can also probably answer this as they've delved into it developing the 2Can.

If you're going to have quite a few speed controllers, I'd find out what issues it might cause.

We've run up to 6 with no issues.
