Re: New Talon SRX and CAN with the 2015 Control System

A CAN Bus does not have increased latency when more devices are added. They are all wired in parallel. The addressing is dealt with when the address is placed on the bus.

The only worry is that a dead device or bad cable can kill the entire bus, so troubleshooting a dead bus is a matter of splitting the bus into sections to see when it starts working.
