The device (10) has storage device (103) to store update data for updatable parameter in update storage area (105) and store application data for real-time application in application storage area (107). Main unit is configured such that, after update data is written into update storage area at predefined update time, first memory address referring to application storage area is switched to second memory address referring to update storage area in which the update data is stored. Switch took place within predefined update timeslot during runtime of real-time application. Independent claims are included for the following: (1) a method for operating network device for automation network; (2) a computer program product; and (3) a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program for operating network device for automation network.
