6.3 2000Xc Power Supply External Communication
Functions
6.3.1 Branson Remote Desktop Setup
Use Remote Desktop to communicate with a Branson 2000Xc Power Supply. It is a bi-
directional control technique that allows the user to remotely monitor and control the
operation of the welder from a networked PC. Note: You can not use this to link to a PLC
for the user I/O. That is a separate function.
Two options are available for networking the welder:
• In many companies, a computer network already exists. In this case, a network Ethernet drop
can be installed near the welder. You will need to use a shielded Ethernet cable to connect the
welder (the port is on the back of the power supply) to the network
• If a network does not exist or if a direct link to a single PC is desired, you can use an Ethernet
hub with cables to link the welder to the PC.
Before you begin the setup, you will need the following:
• A USB mouse and keyboard for the welder
• A shielded Ethernet cable for connecting to the network
NOTICE
If there is a firewall on the network, you will only be allowed to view
the welder within the network unless the company’s IT department
grants the computer outside the network access.
