Abstract

A welding device for a production system having a welding tool and a control device operatively connected to the welding tool. The control device can be configured to control the control the welding tool to connect at least two components with a welded connection with reference to a first parameter. The first parameter defines the welded connection. The control device can be furthered configured to access the first parameter for the welded connection with reference to a hierarchy, wherein the hierarchy identifies a second parameter assigned to the first parameter and the second parameter contains a third parameter, wherein the second parameter defines a welding task and the third parameter defines a first combination of values.
