Posted 16 Dec 2016 Hello all I want to know if is possible implement the standard IEC 61499, for distributed control, in a PLC Micrologix 1500, this standard proposes use function blocks, but this blocks are different to the blocks proposes for the IEC 61499 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 16 Dec 2016 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. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 16 Dec 2016 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. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
