Re: Can I branch the CAN to go to two separate places?

If the entire collection of CAN devices and wiring is physically small enough, you can get away with just about any topology without it breaking.

My advice: don't tempt fate. Use the system as specified and as designed, with a single "chain" of devices each having their own internal very short tap on the bus. Troubleshooting will be much more straightforward.
