Re: CAN reliability

Quote:
The bandwidth afforded by a serial connection is a lot less than that of a CAN connection.
RS232 and CAN are both serial connections. But their speeds may differ.

Does anyone know the max speed supported for RS232 by the various drivers provided (LabVIEW, Java, C++), and do these drivers offer interrupt-driven receive and transmit buffers?

If 115Kbps and interrupt-driven software buffers are supported by the RS232 drivers, it seems that should be adequate for both commands and data acquisition at 50Hz for 5 motors (depending on how efficiently the data is encoded).
