B-3-1 CANopen Control Mode Selection   
There are two control modes for CANopen: the DS402 standard (Pr.04-20 set to 1) is the 
factory setting, and the Delta’s standard setting (Pr.04-20 set to 0). There are two control 
modes according to Delta’s standard. One is the old control mode (Pr.04-24=0); this control 
mode can only control the motor drive under frequency control. The other mode is a new 
standard (Pr.04-24=1); this new control mode allows the motor drive to be controlled under 
multiple modes. The VJ currently supports speed    mode. The following table shows the 
control mode definitions:

You can use some indices in either DS402 or Delta’s standard. For example:   
1. Indices that are defined as RO attributes 
2. The corresponding index of available parameter groups: (2000-00–200E-XX)   
3. Accelerating/Decelerating Index: 604F 6050
