FERNZUGRIFFSEINHEIT UND VERFAHREN ZUR VERWALTUNG VON ÜBER SCHNITTSTELLEN MIT EINEM NETZWERK VERBUNDENEN SCHWEISSGERÄTEN

The invention describes a remote access unit (31) and a method for managing welding devices (1) which are connected to a network (27) via interfaces (28), including a connection for connecting to the network (27), a display for displaying the welding devices (1) and their parameters and/or configurations, a memory for storing the parameters and/or configurations of the welding devices (1), and input units for operation. For creating such a remote access unit (31) for optimally managing welding devices (1), it is provided that the display is designed as a central graphical surface for displaying any number of welding devices (1) as a function of paths, which are assigned to the welding devices (1), as well for displaying their parameters and configurations, and in that a module is provided for comparing the parameters and/or configurations stored to the current parameters and/or configurations of the welding devices (1), and in that the display is designed for displaying the differences between the current and the stored parameters and/or configurations of the welding devices (1).
