摘要：Embodiments described herein include wireless control of a welding power supply via portable electronic devices, such as dedicated original equipment manufacturer (OEM) welding remote devices, cellular radio telephones, satellite radio telephones, laptops computers, tablet computers, and so forth. In particular, operating parameters and statuses of the welding power supply may be modified by the portable electronic device, as well as be displayed on the portable electronic device. A pairing procedure may be used to pair the welding power supply and the portable electronic device in a wireless communication network. Furthermore, in certain embodiments, a method of providing location services for the welding power supply includes utilizing location data for the portable electronic device controlling the welding power supply as an approximation for the location of the welding power supply.

主权项：1. A welding power supply comprising: power conversion circuitry configured to convert an input power into an output power for a welding operation; wireless communication circuitry configured to wirelessly communicate with a portable electronic device via a wireless communication network; and control circuitry configured to pair the portable electronic device with the welding power supply in the wireless communication network, to control operation of the power conversion circuitry based at least in part on commands received wirelessly from the portable electronic device via the wireless communication network, and to set location data for the welding power supply equal to location data of the portable electronic device.
