It will replace the PWM servo cable signal. The advantage is that you can connect a bunch of Jaguars in series, which reduces the mess of cables going to the controller. Also, with the CAN interface, you can upgrade the firmware on the Jaguars and use the advanced features involving the quadrature encoder and analog potentiometer inputs.
