Abstract: A photovoltaic inverter for a photovoltaic electric power generation plant, the photovoltaic inverter comprising a control unit for controlling the operation of the photovoltaic inverter and a main communication port for communication with a remote computerized system through a main communication channel. The photovoltaic inverter comprises an auxiliary communication port for communication with a remote computerized system through an auxiliary communication channel. The auxiliary communication port has a narrow band so that the control unit can transmit or receive only small-size data-sets through the auxiliary communication port.

Abstract: A method is described for controlling an electronic device with a programmable control unit based upon a plurality of operative parameters and a series of rules that these operative parameters shall satisfy. The method includes the following steps: associating a firmware with the electronic device; providing the firmware with a file containing the values of the operative parameters and the rules these operative parameters shall satisfy; and controlling the device by using the operative parameters and the rules contained in the file.
