The present invention relates generally to a logic arrangement, system and method which aid in a design of a fieldbus network configuration. In particular, the present invention includes certain functions for an automatic generation and verification of block and device tags, function block verification and modifications for function block type consistency based on information in the block profile, automatic allocation of function blocks into devices by an off-line scheduler, and a control strategy configuration system (which uses artificial intelligence to generate and maintain a fieldbus design knowledge-base). Accordingly, the user is able to easily configure the fieldbus network and devices residing thereon in an effective manner, as well as use the previously used configurations for establishing new fieldbus networks.
