Abstract
A device for connecting an energy-converting terminal to an electric power supply network and for exchanging data via the power supply network, a network connection for connecting to the power supply network, a communications unit for receiving and sending data over the power supply network, a logic unit for controlling the data exchange and for controlling or regulating the power of the energy-converting terminal, sensors and an associated signal processing unit for monitoring the energy-converting terminal, as well as a power section for controlling the energy flow to the energy-converting terminal are provided. The network connection, the communications unit, the logic unit, a sensor unit having sensors and the signal processing unit associated with the sensors and the power section are combined in an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC). A corresponding method is also described.
