| # | Brief description | Advantages | Disadvantages |
| O1 | Local current control, central feedback | Simple, low bandwidth coms | Unsuitable for larger motors |
| O2 | Centralised motor control | Simpler to design | High bandwidth coms required |
| O3 | Full motor control in each module | Lowest bandwidth coms* | High power micro-controller needed in each module |
| O4 | ASIC | Very low production cost | High development cost |
