What kind of servo motor are recommend connect to duet 2 wifi?

@Danal Ok. Can i used gcode to control stepper motor for rotary tool changer table?

just set up the steps/mm as steps/degree and use it like any other stepper
-
you mean yes and able to do that on slicer, right?
-
@Danal i just want to know more about servo motor and what happen if i do it.
the red circle highlighted is also used to servo motor right?
if yes, then can i used gcode to control it?

Looks like you are mixing things up. You want to perform a task, right? As far as I’ve understood, you want to build a tool changer, i.e. a mechanism which puts the requested tool at a certain position - either by rotary or linear motion - so that it can be picked up.
So that’s the goal. But, instead of asking how to achieve this, you focus on servos. Sure, you can use a servo to control the required motion, but your posts tell me that you are missing the point: instead of getting the task done, you follow a certain idea of how servos might work.
Well, with a Duet, (almost) anything goes. Even with servos. But first, have a look at your wallet: how much do you want to spend? RC-Servos can be cheap, all others are pretty costly. The cheaper ones are not very precise, the better ones are difficult to control. Lots of additional hardware, lots of Gcodes, lots of money. What for?
The simple answer is: use a stepper instead. It’s as well cheap as it is precise, it just does the job. When you are done with the tool changer, feel free to buy a cheap RC-servo and play with it. That’s exactly how I learnt about servos and how I can use them to improve my printer.

I suggest you control the stepper motor for the tool or filament change in the tool change files, not the slicer

Two very good answers. Both of these cannot be overstressed.

If you use a stepper motor to do the lock and unlocking, does it mean it will take up a stepper driver port? I have a duet2 +duex5. Can I use a pwn fan output to drive it?
-
A stepper needs a stepper driver port. It will not run on PWM.
-
A D2 + Duex5 can be configured to support:
X, Y, ZZZ (three motor leveling for bed), U (tool lock) and 4 extruders on tools. At that point, it is out of drivers.
See https://github.com/machineagency/jubilee for details, including running D2/Duex5 config.g and toolchange (tpre, tpost, tfree) files.

You can try this Geneva Indexing Table Mechanism.
Just use a stepper motor.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tchOhvDgQM
