Dear Abbe
Question: I am in the process of implementing HEIDENHAIN’s EnDat 2.2 encoder interface and I was wondering if you offer any tools that will help us understand the functionality?
Answer:
In addition to a library of application notes, we also offer what is known as
an EnDat Demo Kit.
The EnDat Demo Kit is intended for demonstration of the capabilities of the EnDat interface and, on the other hand, for communication with EnDat encoders on the basis of mode commands. The EnDat Demo Kit thus supports the design process in the following way:
- First, communication via mode commands can be tested outside the control loop
- It can be used as a reference in the course of integration of the EnDat master into the control loop
- Service for encoders together with the ATS software
The EnDat demo kit consists of the following components:
- IK 215 (PCI card for connecting EnDat encoders)
- EQN 1337 (multi-turn rotary encoder)
- Cable: EQN 1337 to IK 215
- Software on CD
