A method and a configuration component for assigning a respective station name to a plurality of components of an industrial automation arrangement, wherein projected components are each allocated a station name and a number of projected properties in a project. During a startup phase or an operating time of the automation arrangement, the configuration component ascertains the components in the data network are ascertained, retrieves information about respective actual properties of the ascertained components, determines a respective similarity value for each ascertained component in relation to the projected components using the degree of match between the actual properties and projected properties, and assigns to each ascertained components the projected station name of that projected component having the best similarity value to allow partial or complete automation of the process of assigning station names, even if some of the properties of the projected and ascertained components differ from one another.
