Overview
The WELDCOM function serves as a digital interface that communicates
via Ethernet with an arc welding power source. The function provides high
data rate transmission between DX200 and the welding power source,
enables the welding power source parameter to be set from the
programming pendant, and monitors graphically welding current and
voltage during welding.
The WELDCOM function can use either of the following four welding
power sources for connection.
MOTOWELD-EL350-AJ2E (manufactured by YASKAWA
ELECTRIC CORPORATION)
(AJ2E indicates that an Ethernet interface is incorporated.)

Welding conditions are set in a welding start condition file or a
welding end condition file specified in an arc welding command.
The welding start condition file or welding end condition file has the
edit window that provides the setting window for a digital interface,
enabling users to check or edit parameters to be set in welding
power source.
The parameter to be set in the edit window of the welding condition
file is saved in the dedicated condition file, “Welding type file” and
“Digital welder condition file”, where the data can be loaded and
saved with the external memory function.
