Can.InhibitTime

The minimum time between two successive Process Data Object (PDO) messages.

A PDO is a CAN message that contains operational data. If the source node's events occur at a very fast rate, the number of messages generated can swamp the network and block out other messages. To prevent an excess of messages, nodes can optionally support inhibit times for their transmit PDOs.
