Abstract: The invention relates to a method for configuring an interface of a welding power source (31, 41, 51, 61, 81, 91), said interface comprising at least one external connection (201 . . . 206). Defined graphic symbols of a software are used for configuration, the edges of said graphic symbols having bulges and/or indentations which interlockingly engage with corresponding bulges and/or indentations of a second graphic symbol. The configuration process comprises the allocation of a parameter of the welding device to an internal and/or external connection (101 . . . 105) and optionally establishing a logic link by stringing the graphic symbols together. The invention further relates to a welding power source (31, 41, 51, 61, 81, 91) and to a computer program which are set up for performing or storing the process according to the invention.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for defining an interface (32, 42, 52, 62) of a welding power source (31, 41, 51, 61) for communication with an external machine (26) that is connected to the interface. A freely configurable interface is used in the welding device, said interface being configured and activated via software directly via the operating panel of the welding power source or an external device that can be connected to the welding power source. A parameter of the welding device is allocated to an internal and/or external connection (101 . . . 105). Optionally, a link is established by stringing together graphic symbols of the software. The invention further relates to a welding power source (31, 41, 51, 61) and to a computer program which are set up for performing or storing the process according to the invention.
