The only exception to this is I would recommend against using the bridging Jag to control a high current motor (like a drive motor) that may potentially trip a breaker. If any other Jag trips a breaker, the rest of the Jags on the bus continue to function since the CAN bus is wired through on the PCB. If the bridge Jag's breaker trips, the rest of the CAN bus is isolated from the cRIO so all motors will stop.
