    High voltage & high power servo drive design

    Since our upcoming servo drive VSD-E will be 12-80 VDC drive and there is a clear market for high voltage drive that can be operated directly from mains voltages (115/230VAC), I'm creating this poll to gather user opinions about preferred servo drive constructions.

    I have 3 different drive types in mind that would allow such operation:
    1. VSD-E without on-board power stage. It would just have connector for external power stage.
    2. Small sized control card with pin headers. This could be plugged on "mother board" containing the power stage.
    3. Monolithic design. Everything on one board and possibly a metal enclosure for it.


    Options 1-2 allows controlling virtually any power and option 3 would be the easiest to use.

    Attached picture shows VSD-E drive if one isn't already familiar with it. Option 1 would look much like, but 1/2 of this size.
