Abstract
A system and method for an integrated structural welding system is designed to protect improve work flow efficiency. Specifically, a welding-type power source is provided that is free of user interface devices designed to select power parameters. Instead, a wire feeder is provided that includes a user interface configured to receive operational and power parameters and a controller configured to control operation of the welding-type power source based on the feedback received through the user interface.
