    Changing encoders

    Hi,

    A noob question.
    What changes will be needed if I replace the existing encoder on an old servo motor with either 16 or 20 bit one?

    Do I need to change the servo drive as well? What else should I take into consideration?

    Thank you for much for any input!

    Need more specifics. If it's an AC servo, you would probably need one that is specifically compatible with the drive. If it's a DC servo, it depends on the drive.
