There is a limit to the amount of information being passed on the CAN bus. Assuming that
nothing but egrCAN modules on the bus, the following formula calculates the minimum
programmable broadcast rate (used by all modules) given a total number of TPDOs
transmitted (total for all modules)
Minimum broadcast rate (ms) = total number of TPDOs for all modules x 0.3125
In addition, the Configuration Tool displays the bus loading.
