III. MDM5253 DC Motor Driver Module with Position and Current Feedback III.1 Introduction The MDM5253 DC Motor Driver Module with Position and Current Feedback is a three-channel Hbridge switching power amplifier board. It can be directly controlled by motion controller’s logic level PWM driving signals at a frequency up to 20 KHz. For each of the three independent channels, the MDM5253 also provides the current feedbacks and connectors for position sensors such as potentiometers.
Figure III.1 H-Bridge Switching Device In the design of the MDM5253, only one PWM control signal is required to control both the direction and the magnitude of the output for each channel. The H-bridge’s diametrical opposite pairs (control input 1 and 4, control input 2 and 3) are connected and driven HIGH and LOW together, and the two pairs are controlled with strictly inverted signals. Figure III.2 shows the relationship between the PWM duty cycle and system output.
By working with the PMS5005, users can simply call a function offered by the WiRobot SDK software on PC (requires Microsoft platform) or send a data packet (platform independent) to control the DC motors or to obtain the sensor feedback. Please refer to Chapter III. WiRobot SDK API (Page 26) and Chapter IV.I PMS5005 (Page 67) for the available motor control algorithms and schemes. III.2.

Normally, there is a modem connected to a local PC and a modem connected to a remote machine. A user must dial from the local PC to the remote machine, accumulating phone charges for each connection. Modem Mode allows you to replace modems with WFS802bs, and to use an Ethernet connection instead of a phone call. By not having to change communications applications, you avoid potentially expensive phone calls.
When an active connection is in effect, the unit transfers data and does not process commands received from the serial interface. When a connection is terminated or lost, the unit reverts to command mode. When an active connection is in effect, the unit terminates the connection if it receives the following sequence from the attached serial device: . No serial data is received for one second. . The character sequence +++ is received, with no more than one second between each two characters. .

VII. DUR5200 Ultrasonic Range Sensor Module VII.1 Introduction The DUR5200 Ultrasonic Range Sensor Module can detect the range information from 4 cm to 340 cm. It transmits an ultrasonic "ping" when instructed by your program and returns a signal when it receives an echo. The distance data is precisely presented by the time interval between the instant when the measurement is enabled and the instant when the echo signal is received.
When using the DUR5200 with the third party controller, the power supply and the input/output signals should be connected properly (please refer to Section VII.3 Connections). The basic operation is illustrated in Figure VII.1. Range measurement starts from the rising edge of TE. Then the controller set TE to low (logic 0) after t1 (250 μsec). The controller should measure the time interval td from the rising edge of TE to the first rising edge of RS, which is the returned sound wave.
