Hope you already looked at the information provided at:
http://can-cia.org/canopen
or a lot more links at
http://www.CAN-Wiki.info/CanOpen

After study all these documents, you should be able to implement CANopen
from scratch. But be aware, CANopen has many faces, man extensions and
features. You should know the goal before starting.
And - please excuse - without a lot of experience in CAN already, embedded
computing, other automation protocols and systems, look for a commercial
available product. Gives you more long term satisfaction.
