Thanks all for the feedback. While terminating the motors with the PDB would be convenient (avoid the solder + heat shrink of a resistor), our specific design requires the PDB to be in the center of the electronics bed, with the SRX CAN motor controllers at opposite ends.
I will say that the CAN configuration is very straight forward. The Software Reference Manual CTR puts out (
http://bit.ly/1zlnRLU) explains the process of changing your controller's device ID very clearly. I would also recommend taking a look at the PDB manual as it explains how to use the jumper for termination.
Good luck everyone.
