According to the present disclosure, an Intelligent Electronic Device (IED) such as a digital relay or protection device for Substation or Distribution Automation is conceived in a modular way, comprising distinct modules dedicated to distinct tasks and having dedicated housings or casings, which modules are mechanically arranged on a common support and both visible and accessible from outside of the IED at all times. Modules for signal input (process interface modules comprising a number of input terminals and signal processing (process data handling modules for evaluating signals in view of an automated protection function or as a communication gateway) define the basis of a modular arrangement that is not delimited by any prefabricated cover or cabinet and that allows for a quasi-unlimited flexibility regarding the number of modules and an easy replacement or extension of individual modules.
