1.  Verify the wiring and grounding of the communication circuit. It is 
recommended to separate the communication circuit from the main circuit, 
or wire in 90 degrees for effective anti-interference performance.   
2.  Make sure the communication circuit is wired in series. 
3.  Use CANopen cable or add terminating resistance. 
Communication cable is broken or 
bad connected   
Check or replace the communication cable.
