Maxon Motor controllers allow users to chain the controllers together through a CAN bus connection. The first “master” controller can be connected to the computer via other methods, such as USB. This allows users to easily control all of their motors from a single computer from either the Epos software or Labview.

Below is a tutorial which provides detailed instructions on how to properly set up and configure the EPOS2 controller nodes, as well as how to integrate everything in Labview.
