A first optical fiber transmission path is used to transmit continuous-wave light for upstream signal light from the center node to each of the remote nodes, while a second optical fiber transmission path is used to transmit downstream signal light from the center node to each remote node and to transmit upstream signal light (obtained by modulating continuous-wave light) from each remote node to the center node. In this network, specific wavelength bandwidths are allocated to each remote node for the continuous-wave lights (for upstream signal lights) and the downstream signal lights, and the wavelength bandwidths for the continuous-wave lights (for upstream signal lights) and the downstream signal lights are alternately set.

Welding controller 1 has CPU 1a, ROM1 1b, ROM2 1c and RAM 1d. Programs and data are written into the ROM1 1b and can be rewritten. Sequential welding data is written into the RAM 1d and can be rewritten.
