Short answer is no.

Long answer is that the MicroLogix family of processors is based on and uses the programming tool RSLogix500 based on the IEC61131 standard and more specifically the use of Ladder Logic only.

It's just the wrong platform for it.   The MicroLogix 1500 runs ONLY a cyclic relay ladder logic language that is mostly compliant with IEC 6-1131.

For an IEC61499 event-driven function block system, you're looking for something else meant for distributed control in your industry.
