R717       *Don’t alter the CAN bus. No device that interferes with, alters, or blocks communications among the roboRIO and the PDP/PDH, PCMs/PHs, and/or CAN motor controllers on the bus will be permitted.

R714       *Control CAN motor controllers from the roboRIO. Each CAN motor controller must be controlled with signal inputs sourced from the roboRIO and passed via either a PWM (wired per R713) or CAN bus (either directly or daisy-chained via another CAN bus device) signal, but both shall not be wired simultaneously on the same device.

R716       *Connect the PDP/PDH to the roboRIO CAN bus. The PDP/PDH CAN interface must be connected to the built-in CAN bus on the roboRIO (either directly or daisy-chained via another CAN bus device).

R701       *Control the robot with a roboRIO. Robots must be controlled via 1 programmable NI roboRIO or roboRIO 2.0 (P/N am3000 or am3000a, both versions referred to throughout this manual as “roboRIO”), with image version 2023_v3.1 or later.
