Abstract
An example welding-type power supply includes power conversion circuitry configured to convert input power to welding-type power and to output the welding-type power to a welding-type torch; communications circuitry configured to receive a control signal representative of a value within a predetermined range of values from a remote control device during a welding-type operation; and control circuitry configured to: determine, based on at least one physical characteristic of a welding operation, a first limit range of a voltage, a current, or a wire feed speed and a second limit range of a second one of the voltage, current, or wire feed speed; and synergically control the first and second ones of the voltage, current, or wire feed speed within the first and second limit ranges based on the value of the control signal, wherein the first and second limit ranges are mapped to the predetermined range of values.
