Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A welding current source ( 1 ) having a housing ( 10 ) formed from metallic material, a welding inverter ( 50 ), a digital, electronic welding process computation unit ( 20 ) and a man-machine interface device ( 30 ), wherein the welding process computation unit ( 20 ) is set up to actuate the welding inverter ( 50 ), wherein the welding process computation unit ( 20 ) and the welding inverter ( 50 ) are arranged in the housing ( 10 ) and the man-machine interface device ( 30 ) is mounted on the welding current source ( 1 ) outside the housing ( 10 ), wherein the welding current source ( 1 ) additionally has a digital, electronic man-machine computation unit ( 40 ) mounted on the welding current source ( 1 ) outside the housing ( 10 ), and wherein the man-machine interface device ( 30 ) is connected to the man-machine computation unit ( 40 ), and wherein the man-machine computation unit ( 40 ) and the welding process computation unit ( 20 ) are networked to one another via a communication link ( 60 ) and form a computer network.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A welding current source having a housing formed from metallic material, a welding inverter, a digital, electronic welding process computation unit and a man-machine interface device, wherein the welding process computation unit is set up to actuate the welding inverter, wherein the welding process computation unit and the welding inverter are arranged in the housing and the man-machine interface device is mounted on the welding current source outside the housing, wherein the welding current source additionally has a digital, electronic man-machine computation unit mounted on the welding current source outside the housing, wherein the man-machine interface device is connected to the man-machine computation unit, and wherein the man-machine computation unit and the welding process computation unit are networked to one another via a communication link and form a computer network, and wherein the man-machine computation unit and the man-machine interface device are kept together on a shutter supported movably on the housing, and wherein the shutter is movable between an open position, in which the man-machine interface device is usable by a user, and a closed position, in which the man-machine interface device is concealed. 2. The welding current source as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the communication link is a field bus link. 3. The welding current source as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the man-machine computation unit and the welding process computation unit are DC isolated from one another. 4. The welding current source as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the welding current source has a mains voltage input and wherein both the man-machine computation unit and the welding process computation unit are supplied with power via the mains voltage input. 5. The welding current source as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the man-machine interface device has one or more of the following devices: USB socket, RJ45 socket, HDMI socket, touchscreen, touchpad, keyboard, mouse, printer.
