Abstract
An arrangement is disclosed for configuring an intelligent electronic device, having a configuration unit configured to provide a plurality of function blocks into a visual representation of a configuration of the intelligent electronic device. Each function block is configured for executing a function in the intelligent electronic device and has a predetermined set of connection interfaces for connecting the function block with other function blocks or external variables. A checking unit is configured to check, for a function block, a completion status of the connections of the function block in the configuration, and an indicating unit is configured to provide a visual indication in the visual representation to indicate the completion status of the connections of the function block.
