The invention relates to a method for setting a parameter for external control units () of a welding device (), whereby the welding parameters can be selected and set using different control elements () and indicating elements () on the welding device (). The aim of the invention is to provide a method of this type with which a flexible adaptation of setting options of external components () connected to the welding device () is made possible for the most varied applications or welding processes. To this end, a control program () is activated in the welding device (), whereby the selected welding parameter for setting or adjusting is selectively assigned to an external control unit () located on an external component () so that this welding parameter is set or changed when the external control units () on the external components () are activated or adjusted.

Method for setting parameters in welding devices

The invention describes a control device for a welding device ( ), consisting of a digital control device ( ), in particular a microprocessor control, and a welding process control unit, comprising a signal processing unit, hereinafter referred to as SP unit, and a pulse width modulator, hereinafter referred to as PWM, and at least one external component, such as a power component ( ) or an input and/or output device ( ), etc., for example. The welding process control is digitally operated by the welding process control unit and the configuration and parameter settings for the welding process control unit are handled by the control device ( ) through software means.
