Claim Text:
1. A master device that is connected to a slave device via a serial communication bus for carrying out data transmission and reception in order to control motors connected via an inverter to a DC link part, which is connected to an alternating-current power source via a converter, the master device comprising: a first communication speed setting unit configured to set a data communication speed of data transmitted and received between the master device and the slave device during the period from the time when the master device is activated to the time when the preparation to drive the motors is completed, to a first communication speed; a second communication speed setting unit configured to set a data communication speed of data transmitted and received between the master device and the slave device when the preparation to drive the motors is completed, to a second communication speed lower than the first communication speed; a change notification unit configured to notify the change of the data communication speed from the first communication speed to the second communication speed to the slave device; and a bandwidth change unit configured to change a bandwidth of a band variable filter provided in at least one of the master device and the slave device in order to remove noise received in the serial communication from a first bandwidth to a second bandwidth narrower than the first bandwidth, in accordance with the change of the data communication speed from the first communication speed to the second communication speed, in order to remove noise received in the serial communication.
