    In need of information. Servo drives and motors.

    HELLO Everyone. I purchased a charter oaks 12z mill a few years ago and have been getting it ready to cnc. I have purchased 400 watt servos and drives for the machines X AND Y AXIS . Purchased separately. Fuji 400 watt servos and drives. Found out my servo motors have 20 bit encoders and I believe the drives were originally made for 17 bit encoders at the time. Does anyone know if the faldic w series drive work with 20 bit encoders. Thanks for info I am new to this so dont be harsh. Just teach me something.

    If the Servo Drive is not able to be changed then No they will not run them unless Fuji has a software up grade you can use, try and see if you can find some matching Drives or Motors and sell which ever part you can't use
