Appendix C: Performance Considerations
The Maestro can manage up to 252 axes on a standard application. However, fewer axes
can be managed on applications requiring fast updates.
The Bus Load graphs show how many drives can be managed as a function of update
time and bus speed.
Figure C-1 : CAN Bus Load at 500Kbit/sec
For example, the Maestro can manage 4 axes on an application that requires an update
every 1 msec running at a 70% load on an 800 Kbit/s bus.
On the other hand, the Maestro can manage up to 50 axes on an application that requires
an update every 20 msec running at a 70% load on an 1000 Kbit/s bus.
