SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ADAPTIVELY CONTROLLING PHYSICAL LAYERS FOR WELD CABLE COMMUNICATIONS

摘要

A welding system includes a welding power supply that provides a welding power for a welding application through the weld cable. Additionally, the welding system includes weld cable communications circuitry. The weld cable communications circuitry includes a receiver to receive data from the weld cable and to monitor the weld cable for frequency spurs or interfering signals, and to monitor network capacity. Additionally, and the weld cable communications circuitry includes a transmitter to transmit the data across the weld cable. Furthermore, the transmitter transmits the data via a physical layer transmission scheme selected based on the frequency spurs or interfering signals and the network capacity.
