Servosila-SC-25-Programming-Guide

Up to 16 controllers chained via their CAN bus ports can be controlled by the same PC/PLC
using the built-in USB-to-CAN routing function. The limit is mainly due to throughput of a USB
port of the Servosila controller that acts as a USB2CAN dongle in addition to driving a motor.
Unique Node ID
Each brushless motor controller is assigned a unique Node ID, an integer between 1 and 126.
The Node IDs are used as an addressing scheme when sending messages to a particular device on
a CANbus network

, including when using the USB-to-CAN gateway function of the controllers.
Servosila SC-25 Brushless Motor Controllers come with factory-assigned sequential Node IDs.
Since there are just 125 of possible Node IDs, the factory-assigned Node IDs of your set of
controllers might not be unique. If that turns out to be the case, change the Node IDs of the
controllers using the “Servoscope” configuration tool. Make sure you check uniqueness of Node
IDs before connecting devices a CAN network.
