Abstract: The method comprises the following steps: connecting each client (5) to a respective one of said servers (3) and establishing a data communication between each client (5) and the respective server (3), thus forming a multi-client/multi-server network; 5 calculating a figure of merit for rejection (FoMR) for at least one client (5) con-nected to at least one of said servers (3), each figure of merit for rejection (FoMR) determining a probability of rejection of the relevant client (5) by the server (3); rejecting at least one client (5), which is connected to a server (3), and placing 10 said client in a non-connected condition; wherein the client to be rejected is selected on the basis of the figure of merit for rejection (FoMR); connecting the rejected client (5) to a server (3) again.

Abstract: A method for recognising a communication protocol of data packets (M1, M2) travelling over a communication bus (20).The method comprises a CRC check procedure (PCRC1, PCRC2) for processing a data packet (M1, M2) travelling over said communication bus (20), said CRC check procedure comprising: calculating a first checksum string (CKS1) by processing the payload portion (S1) of said data packet, according to a first CRC-generation engine associated to said first communication protocol (PR1); calculating a second checksum string (CKS2) by processing the payload portion (S1) of said data packet, according to a second CRC-generation engine associated to said second communication protocol (PR2); comparing with said first and second checksum strings (CKS1, CKS2) with the CRC portion (S2) of said data packet.

Abstract: A method for processing a flow of data from a plurality of devices (1) is disclosed. The method comprises the following steps: receiving a data package (100) from a device (1); detecting whether said data package (100) relates to an active device (1) or a non-active device; and: if the data package (100) relates to an active device (1), delivering the data to a data processing facility (30); and if the data package relates to a non-active device (1), storing the data package in a raw-data archive (14).

Abstract: A method for managing a multi-client/multi-server system or network (1) is disclosed. According to some embodiments, the method comprises the following steps: when at least one of the servers (3) receives a request for connection from one of the clients (5), the server (3) calculates a figure of merit (FoM) for the requesting client; the server (3) sends a connection-accepting response to the requesting client (5) with a probability, which depends upon the figure of merit; the requesting client (5) receiving a connection-accepting response joins the server (3) and starts communication therewith.

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.
