hello, did you ever figure out to get them to communicate?
It needs to be a PowerWave 450R, the 'R' stands for Robotic. It will have a 37-pin interface connector on the back for discreet interfacing. The ABB would use a Combi I/O unit or seperate digital & analog units. Most of the welder outputs are active low so you may need to install relays. The active low inputs to the welder can be taken care of by inverting the ABB outputs in parameters. The PowerWave 450 series is no longer supported and parts are getting hard to find. Good luck!

That's interesting as Kemppi also use a 37 pin (Amphenol) connector for robot interface, it's unusual for manufacturers to standardise!
