The built-in CANopen function is a kind of remote control. You can control the AC motor drive using the 
CANopen protocol. CANopen is a CAN-based higher layer protocol that provides standardized 
communication objects, including real-time data (Process Data Objects, PDO), configuration data 
(Service Data Objects, SDO), and special functions (Time Stamp, Sync message, and Emergency 
message). It also has network management data, including Boot-up message, NMT message, and 
Error Control message. Refer to the CiA website http://www.can-cia.org/ for details. The content of this
