A network device and a method for operating a network device for an automation network are provided. The network device is set up with the help of a real-time application for providing a function of the network device. The real-time application has at least one predefined, updatable parameter. The network device has a storage device for storing update data for the updatable parameter in an update storage area and storing application data for the real-time application in an application storage area. The network device is set up such that, after update data has been written into the update storage area at a predefined update time, a first memory address referring to the application storage area switches to a second memory address referring to the update storage area in which the update data is stored. The switch takes place deterministically within a predefined update timeslot during runtime of the real-time application. |
