So it means the ethernet connection to the 2CAN is good. What other wiring could be wrong?

Probably nothing. Are you checking for errors or messages on the console being printed by the 2CAN plugin? Have you tried a BlackJag bridge?

They are required for closed loop mode... without some process variable, the controller does nothing. You may want to try simple PercentVbus mode first. Start simple and all. Verify you can talk to the Jags at all. Make sure your device numbers in the constructors match what you configured.
