The invention describes a method of controlling and/or regulating a welding process, whereby, when an arc () has been ignited, a set welding process based on several different welding parameters is run. The welding process is controlled and/or regulated by a control system () and/or a welding current source (). The welding apparatus () is switched during the welding process and is switched in particular between operating states and/or functions and/or operating modes and/or welding parameters and/or welding programmes by means of a defined movement of the welding torch.

Method for the control and/or regulation of a welding process

The invention describes a method of operating a data exchange between an external component, in particular a remote control unit ( ), and a welding unit ( ), in particular a current source. A serial data exchange is run between a welding unit ( ), in particular a current source, and an external component, in particular a remote control unit ( ), directly across the welding lines, in particular across the connecting lines ( ) to the welding torch ( ) and to the workpiece ( ), on the basis of digital levels.
