Next Generation EnDat 3 Servo Solutions for Peak Performance in Compact Machines
02 April 2026

We’ve enhanced our servo portfolio with full support for HEIDENHAIN’s next generation EnDat 3 encoders, delivering smarter, faster, and more compact motion solutions for modern machine designs.

Our complete EnDat 3 servo packages combine Digitax HD and Unidrive M700 drives, Unimotor hd motors, and a choice of standard cut to length cables and pre made connectors, everything needed for a streamlined, high performance servo system.

Designed with compact machines in mind, our EnDat 3 solutions offer clear advantages:

  • Single cable 2-wire technology for simplified cabling
  • Smaller panel sizes and faster commissioning
  • Enhanced diagnostics such as real-time monitoring of vibration, temperature and encoder health for predictive maintenance

By supporting EnDat 3, we’ve removed many of the traditional pain points associated with servo setup and tuning. Our goal has always been to simplify complexity and help our customers move faster, and these new capabilities represent a significant step forward in usability, diagnostics, and system flexibility.

All of our EnDat servo solutions are ready to run straight out of the box. Electronic nameplate data ensures that all components are correctly matched, while each Unimotor hd EnDat encoder is pre programmed for instant recognition. On power up, the system configures itself automatically with no manual intervention required.

System optimization is made simple with our latest Connect V3 commissioning software which ensures rapid, error-free set-up taking minimal time using step-by-step support.

Following a major recent update, Connect has been re engineered with servo systems at its core. The result is a highly intuitive interface packed with powerful tools, including:

  • Automatic device discovery via Ethernet, Serial, Bluetooth, or EtherCAT
  • Real time tuning with integrated scope and motion tools
  • Visual I/O configuration and dynamic logic diagrams
  • Seamless PLC integration and built in self diagnostics

Whether you’re a motion control expert or a first-time user, Connect makes commissioning fast, reliable, and user friendly.

To further support you, we’ve also launched a dedicated commissioning hub at www.Drive-Setup.com/digitaxhd where you’ll find all the documentation, tools, and resources needed to confidently commission and optimize your servo systems.

With next generation encoder support, true plug and play configuration, and a reimagined commissioning experience, we’re setting a new benchmark for servo performance and simplicity, making high performance motion control more accessible than ever.
