INTERFACE OPTIONS
•ArcLink is a digital communication protocol designed specifically for the arc welding industry. It integrates welding systems and networked components to create a flexible welding cell.
•ArcLink is a Controlled Area Network (CAN) based network with a 40V supply.
•ArcLink is used to connect the welding equipment such as the power supply and wire feeder together where reliable, priority- based operation is essential.
•DeviceNet is a network that provides connections between simple industrial devices (such as sensors and actuators) and
•Data is transmitted through wide area network (10 baseT, IEEE 802.3 Compliant). Monitor/control all equipment from a single interfaced desktop computer. The Power Waves can be interfaced with Ethernet using a
•Also includes full DeviceNet capability.
Hard Automation - DeviceNet
•Standardized PLC connections enable engineers to connect welding systems to other automation devices. Sample application templates make it easy to implement typical control features.
The Power Waves require a
Serial
•All Lincoln digital equipment is configured with a serial interface.
•All software services are accessible for maintenance.
•
Analog
•This module provides Analog and Discrete Inputs/Outputs (I/O) for trigger controls plus feedbacks.
WHAT IS DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS?
Nextweld’s digital communications offers fabricators a fast, reliable, inexpensive way to integrate and operate equipment. Large amounts of data transmit reliably and accu- rately, and wiring costs are relatively low, especially when the number of devices on the network increase.
