1. An automation system comprising:
one or more field devices;
one or more automation devices; and
a self-configurable device configured to dynamically configure based on type of the one or more field devices and the one or more automation devices such that the self-configurable device manages a connection between the one or more field devices and the one or more automation devices,
wherein the self-configurable device comprises a calibration module, wherein the calibration module is configured to:
obtain a baseline state-space representation of the automation system, wherein the baseline state-space representation comprises a model of a set of at least one input variable, at least one output variable, and at least one state variable of the automation system corresponding to an optimum functioning of the automation system;
determine a real-time state-space representation of the automation system, wherein the real-time state-space representation comprises a model of a set of at least one input variable, at least one output variable, and at least one state variable corresponding to a real-time functioning of the automation system;
compare the baseline state-space representation with the real-time state-space representation to identify a deviation;
modify the baseline state-space representation based on the real-time state-space representation when the deviation is identified; and
configure the self-configurable device to dynamically establish an active communication channel between the one or more field devices and the one or more automation devices.
