CAN stands for "Controller Area Network" and is a vehicle communication system developed by Bosch. Bosch developed CAN as a standard method of communication between all of the various controller modules in a car.
CAN works very well as a method to communicate between multiple control modules. Since the Jag speed controllers have their own on-board processing, you can think of them as individual control modules which you can communicate with using CAN.
