Expand the number of motor feedback options for your servomotors. Thanks to a modular design, inductive rotary encoders ECI/EQI 1100 and ECI/ECI 1300 from HEIDENHAIN allow you to tailor your servomotors to specific applications without changing the electrical or mechanical interfaces of your systems. Within each series, the encoders are electronically and mechanically intercompatible. 

Inductive scanning fundamentally offers a large number of benefits in any application. These qualities include compact dimensions, wide mounting tolerances, high permissible operating temperatures, resistance to contamination and being insensitive to magnetic fields. The next generation of inductive measuring technology from HEIDENHAIN, which was first used in the ECI 1122 and EQI 1134 compact rotary encoders, now significantly expands this list, particularly for compact drive systems in highly demanding automation applications. Additional benefits are little signal noise, low speed ripple, less cabling and the recording of operating status data. This is made possible by increasing the resolution of the singleturn position to 22 bits, which in turn leads to a significant improvement in controller performance in the motor. The EnDat 3 interface makes it possible to connect the HMC 2 single-cable solution.

EnDat is a bidirectional interface from HEIDENHAIN for digital drive systems and position control loops with position-feedback encoders. Since its market debut, this interface technology has become a global standard for position encoders in the machine tool, electronics, and automation industries. 

EnDat ensures fast and highly reliable data transmission, including additional data such as motor-specific parameters and sensor information. Its extensive diagnostic capabilities and inclusion of encoders in troubleshooting routines ensure high system reliability. 

EnDat 3 is entering the market as a new interface generation that faithfully enhances and expands upon the characteristics of the EnDat family for the future of digital manufacturing. It does this while providing an even greater range of data and other benefits such as send lists, bus topologies, and access levels for installation. Come join the ranks of companies that have embraced EnDat interface technology.
