Systems and methods for automatic configuration of intelligent electronic devices

A method, comprising:

• receiving, via a controller in an industrial system, one or more data files comprising one or more user-selected input parameters associated with one or more electrical devices in an industrial system, one or more output parameters associated with the one or more electrical devices, one or more input/output (I/O) parameter tags, a frequency or a condition associated with data transmission for each electrical device of the one or more electrical devices, or a combination thereof, wherein the one or more electrical devices are configured to communicate via a first communication network based on the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61850 standard and the controller is configured to communicate via a second communication network different than the first communication network;
• automatically programming the controller to control one or more operations of each electrical device of the one or more electrical devices based on the one or more data files;
• and
• transmitting, via the controller, the one or more data files to a gateway device communicatively coupled to the controller along a backplane of a chassis system, wherein the gateway device is automatically configured based on the one or more data files.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium, comprising instructions that when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• generating a graphical user interface that includes a set of input/output (I/O) parameters associated with one or more respective electrical devices in an industrial system for display by a computing device, wherein the one or more respective electrical devices are configured to communicate via a first communication network based on the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61850 standard;
• receiving an indication of one or more user-selected I/O parameters of the set of I/O parameters associated with the one or more respective electrical devices;
• generating one or more data files comprising one or more input parameters that may be transmitted to the one or more respective electrical devices from the controller, one or more output parameters that may transmitted to the controller from the one or more respective electrical devices, one or more I/O parameter tags, a frequency or a condition associated with data transmission for each electrical device of the one or more electrical devices, or a combination thereof, based on the indication of the one or more user-selected I/O parameters, wherein the controller is configured to communicate via a second communication network different from the first communication network;
• and
• transmitting the one or more data files to the controller, wherein the controller is automatically configured to control one or more operations of each electrical device of the one or more electrical devices based on the one or more data files.
