Digital Communications

Fast, Reliable, System-Wide

ArcLink is the leading digital communications protocol for the arc welding industry. It integrates all welding components for seamless, time-critical data transfer. The strength of ArcLink lies in the ability to communicate with each system component in a pre-defined welding language. In addition, ArcLink is an open communications protocol, meaning that Lincoln Electric publishes how it works and encourages other companies to adopt it.

DeviceNet is a communications protocol widely used throughout the automotive, semiconductor, and packaging industries. In its typical application, DeviceNet works in conjunction with a programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and several system devices to provide a framework for data trafficking and monitoring.

Ethernet is a specification for networking that provides the ability to pull large amounts of information into monitoring and supervisory applications.
