Phil,
The limit switch rule was in place in 2009 not CAN bus use.
From 2009 Inspection Checklist
Custom Circuits, Sensors and Additional Electronics - cannot be attached to the cRIO’s serial port or Ethernet port 2 (except for the Axis 206 camera), cannot attach to Jaguar CAN or limit switch ports,...
