A computerized method for managing configuration of a machine function of a first industrial machine which is connectable to a network system that comprises several other industrial machines by performing the following steps: a) identifying a set of second industrial machines from said several other industrial machines based on a predetermined feature of the first industrial machine in the several other industrial machines, b) retrieving and/or creating a first configuration value, which relates to the machine function of the first industrial machine, and a second configuration value, which relates to the machine function of the second industrial machines, wherein: - each configuration value represents a configuration of the machine function of the first industrial machine or one of the second industrial machines, c) determining a deviation value of the machine function of the first industrial machine depending on a relation of the first configuration value of the first industrial machine to the second configuration value of the set of second industrial machines, wherein determining the deviation value of the machine function of the first industrial machine comprises determining a separate deviation value for each first configuration value of the machine function of the first industrial machine depending on the relation of said each first configuration value of the first industrial machine with its corresponding second configuration value of the second industrial machines, d) detecting a misconfiguration of the first industrial machine based on a comparison of the deviation value with a predetermined threshold value, wherein detecting the misconfiguration of the machine function of the first industrial machine comprises comparing each deviation value with a predetermined threshold value for identifying the misconfiguration that causes the misconfigured machine function of the first industrial machine, and e) performing correction of the misconfigured machine function of the first industrial machine using a correct configuration value. a) identifying a set of second industrial machines from said several other industrial machines based on a predetermined feature of the first industrial machine in the several other industrial machines, b) retrieving and/or creating a first configuration value, which relates to the machine function of the first industrial machine, and a second configuration value, which relates to the machine function of the second industrial machines, wherein: - each configuration value represents a configuration of the machine function of the first industrial machine or one of the second industrial machines, - each configuration value represents a configuration of the machine function of the first industrial machine or one of the second industrial machines, c) determining a deviation value of the machine function of the first industrial machine depending on a relation of the first configuration value of the first industrial machine to the second configuration value of the set of second industrial machines, wherein determining the deviation value of the machine function of the first industrial machine comprises determining a separate deviation value for each first configuration value of the machine function of the first industrial machine depending on the relation of said each first configuration value of the first industrial machine with its corresponding second configuration value of the second industrial machines, d) detecting a misconfiguration of the first industrial machine based on a comparison of the deviation value with a predetermined threshold value, wherein detecting the misconfiguration of the machine function of the first industrial machine comprises comparing each deviation value with a predetermined threshold value for identifying the misconfiguration that causes the misconfigured machine function of the first industrial machine, and e) performing correction of the misconfigured machine function of the first industrial machine using a correct configuration value.
