Abstract
A welding system capable of shortening length of connection lines and the of effectively utilizing devices as a whole. The system comprises a welding controller provided with an I/O interface, a controller provided with a programmable logic controller and connected to the I/O interface of the welding controller through a field bus interface serving as communication means, a welding machine and a general-purpose-purpose peripheral equipment, wherein the welding controller controls the welding machine and the general-purpose-purpose peripheral equipment upon receipt of instructions from the programmable logic controller through the field bus interface.
Claims3
A welding system comprising a welding controller provided with an I/O interface, a controller provided with a programmable logic controller and connected to the I/O interface of the welding controller through a field bus interface serving as communication means, a welding machine connected to the I/O interface of the welding controller through connection lines serving as a network, and a general-purpose-purpose peripheral equipment connected to the I/O interface of the welding controller through connection lines serving as another network, wherein the welding controller controls the welding machine and the general-purpose-purpose peripheral equipment upon receipt of instructions from the programmable logic controller through the field bus interface.
