Hi,
You can certainly implement the CANopen functions by themselves. You can find examples specific to CANopen in the following directory:
body { margin: 0 0 0 0; padding:0 0 0 0 }
td,div { font-family:Tahoma;font-size:8pt;vertical-align:top }
body { margin: 0 0 0 0; padding:0 0 0 0 }

You will know that the object is active if the Sync Start VI doesn't return an error, because if it doesn't return an error, then that means it has started. Can you give us some more specific details about the data you receive in the pre-operational command?
Thanks,
