OK...it is slowly starting to make sense.

So every team using pneumatics will be using CAN by necessity, is what I gather.

And some of the new motor controllers, should they be approved, will use it.

If CAN is built into the power distribution panel does than mean every team will be able to monitor current on the driver station, whether or not they have other devices set up in a CAN network? ("CAN network" I assume is redundant like "ATM machine" is redundant...)

And by monitoring current, do we mean the current of individual circuits that connect to the PDP?

Perhaps a dumb question, but I'll ask it: Is CAN limited to monitoring/gathering/sending data? How does it differ from PWM in terms of controlling devices?

Thanks
