CANOpen on particle?

Has anyone attempted to port and run this library:

on Electron's STM32F205 120MHz ARM Cortex M3 microcontroller?

LEV's EnergyBus is adopting CANOpen and I am very interested in communicating with EnergyBus.

I don't think anybody has attempted that yet. That sounds like a solid project.

Can you tell us more about the applications of CANOpen?

My knowledge of CANopen is very limited and I am a noob when it comes to CAN. Based Wikipedia and other articles I have read, In terms of the OSI model, CANopen is a communication protocol and device profile specification for embedded systems. CANopen implements the layers above and including the network layer.

CiA (CAN in Automation) is the organization driving canopen.

Each manufacturer can define device IDs in the messages that are communicated using CANopen ( which I guess is the application layer).

A complete overview of CAN network layers is explained here:
