Systems and methods to configure a robotic welding system

Abstract

An example welding-type power supply includes: power conversion circuitry configured to convert input power to welding-type output power; auxiliary power output circuitry configured to output auxiliary power via an auxiliary power connection; communications circuitry configured to communicate via the auxiliary power connection; and a processor configured to: detect, via the communications circuitry, that a robot control system is coupled to the auxiliary power connection; and in response to detecting the robot control system: transmit a communication comprising robot configuration information to the robot control system via the communications circuitry and the auxiliary power connection; and supply power from the auxiliary power output circuitry to the robot control system via the auxiliary power connection.
