Abstract
The invention relates to a method of transmitting data between and/or synchronising at least two welding devices () or current sources or with another component and another device, which are supplied with energy via a supply network (), whereby the functions of the welding process are controlled and/or regulated by means of a control system () of the welding device (). The data, signals and welding parameters or synchronisation signals to be transmitted from a welding device () or a welding current source or another component and another device, in particular by a processor, a PLC controller, a data module or a computer, etc., are converted by means of a communication unit () into a data protocol which is then modulated by a communication unit (), in particular a modulation module (), across the supply network (). The modulated data protocol is demodulated and processed by means of the preferably integrated communication unit (), in particular by means of a demodulation module (), of another welding device () or a current source or another component or another device, and another data exchange, in particular a two-way data transfer, is optionally run.
