 There were two versions of the mount: Version A was designed for ships with 220 Vdc power systems and Version B was designed for ships with 380 Vac 50 Hz power systems. There was also a low magnetic version of the system designed for minesweepers called AK-230M.

-The AK-230s service life was relatively short, due to the fielding of the AK-630 system in the mid-1970s, which uses the same mountings and can be controlled by the same fire control systems. While its 30×210 mm round was much more powerful than the AK-630's 30×165 mm one, having the muzzle velocity of 1050 m/s (the same as with 30×173 mm GAU-8's cartridge), the moderately powered AK-630's round allowed for much higher rates of fire, especially in a Gatling-type weapon, which was considered more advantageous for the anti-aircraft system.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AK-230</ref>
