TULPAR 100 Overview: 10 A Compact BLDC Controller

TULPAR 100, also known in the field as the TP100 control unit, is the most compact model in the series. With 10 A rated and 30 A peak current, it is designed for compact platforms and personal mobility vehicles. Despite its size, it carries the communication and safety features of the larger models.

Key Ratings

• Operating voltage: 12–48 V DC
• Current: 10 A rated, 30 A peak (RMS)
• Compatible motors: BLDC, PMSM and AC induction (ACIM)
• Topology: four-quadrant (4Q) regenerative
• Communication: CANopen and Modbus; USB, CAN bus and RS485 interfaces
• Feedback: encoder and Hall, resolver optional
• I/O: 5 digital inputs, 2 analog inputs, 3 digital outputs, 1 brake output
• Safety: isolated STO (Safe Torque Off) input
• Operating temperature: −10 °C / +40 °C

Highlights

TULPAR 100 offers rich I/O for its class: 5 digital inputs, 2 analog inputs and 3 digital outputs let sensors and switches connect directly without an extra control board. Optional resolver support and an isolated STO input stand out for compact but demanding applications. With CANopen, a multi-axis system can use one TULPAR 100 per axis.

Where It Is Used

• Compact mobile platforms and small robots
• Personal mobility vehicles
• 48 V traction up to about 500 W
• Small axes on a CANopen network

TULPAR 100 or TULPAR 150?

If your continuous current exceeds 10 A or start-up peaks above 30 A are expected, TULPAR 150 (20 A rated, 60 A peak) is the better fit. For feedback options, see sensored or sensorless BLDC controller.
