SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CURRENT MODE COMMUNICATION VIA A WELD CABLE

摘要

A system for communicating between at least two welding components may include a transmitter circuit that sends a first set of data via a welding cable that may couple the at least two welding components. The system may also include a receiver circuit that receives a second set of data via the welding cable and a coupling transformer that couples to the welding cable, the transmitter circuit, and the receiver circuit, such that the first set of data is sent and the second set of data is received via the coupling transformer.

1. A welding system, comprising:
a power supply; a welding cable configured to provide power to from the power supply to at least one welding component; a first transceiver configured to couple to the welding cable, wherein the first transceiver comprises:
a first transmitter circuit configured to send a first set of data via the welding cable;a first receiver circuit configured to receive a second set of data via the welding cable; anda first coupling transformer configured to couple to the welding cable, the first transmitter circuit, and the first receiver circuit; and a second transceiver configured to couple to the welding cable, wherein the second transceiver comprises:
a second transmitter circuit configured to send the second set of data via the welding cable;a second receiver circuit configured to receive the first set of data via the welding cable; anda second coupling transformer configured to couple to the welding cable, the second transmitter circuit, and the second receiver circuit.
