Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The present invention is directed to a system and method of remotely controlling a welding machine with command signals transmitted to the welding power source across a weld cable connecting the power source to a remote device, such a wire feeder. A transmitter transmits the control commands containing desired welding operational parameters to a receiver disposed in the power source across a weld cable also designed to carry welding power from the power source to the wire feeder.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A welding-type system comprising: a power source configured to deliver welding-type power at a terminal thereof; a remote device connected to receive power from the power source via a weld cable connected to the terminal; a transmission assembly connected to the remote device and configured to encode control commands onto a carrier wave using phase shift keying (PSK) and to transmit the encoded control commands across the weld cable; a receiver connect…
