METHOD, DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR CONFIGURING AN INTELLIGENT ELECTRONIC DEVICE

A method and device (30) for configuring an intelligent electronic device (21), IED, hosting a logical node instance are provided. Incoming signals of the IED (21) are bound to inputs of a function, the function being performed by the logical node instance in operation of an industrial automation control system (20), IACS. To bind the incoming signals to the inputs of the function, a computing device (30) determines, based on an input data template (41) of the logical node instance, which data is required by the logical node instance to perform the function. The computing device (30) determines, using process related information (42) of the IACS (20), source IEDs (22, 23) of the IACS (20) that provide the data required by the logical node instance to perform the function.
