STMicroelectronics accelerates development of innovative
linked objects with good STM32 wi-fi module
Lead buyer, I-care Group, makes use of STM32WB5MMGH6 wi-fi module in Wi-care clever industrial predictive upkeep software
Geneva, October 20, 2022 – STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a world semiconductor chief serving prospects throughout the spectrum of electronics functions, helps improve industrial productiveness and cut back waste and air pollution with its good wi-fi module. Conceived for Industry 4.0 functions, this module, the STM32WB5MMGH6, simplifies utilizing ST’s innovative wi-fi microcontrollers in highly effective use circumstances like I-care Group’s clever gear situation monitoring.
The module supplies a whole subsystem for wi-fi communication utilizing widespread requirements corresponding to Bluetooth Low Energy, Zigbee, and Thread and comes with free-to-use protocol stacks. Alternatively, builders can use different proprietary protocols, if most well-liked. The module integrates a number of important parts together with the antenna and its matching circuitry, all of the passives, and timing crystals. Pre-certifications for EMC, Bluetooth LE 5.3, Zigbee 3.0, and OpenThread simplify the necessary testing and product-level approval processes for customers, which saves development prices and accelerates time to market.
Lead prospects are already constructing ST’s STM32WB5MMGH6 module into upcoming new merchandise. One instance is I-care Group, a world chief in machine well being, whose steady monitoring options improve the upkeep of industrial gear to make sure optimum efficiency and keep away from surprising failures and downtime. The Company’s Wi-care sensors are a real plug-and-play wi-fi and steady asset monitoring system. When mixed with I-see, I-care’s cloud-based and AI-driven analytical platform, it supplies a whole upkeep 4.0 resolution, permitting customers to visualise gear standing and plan upkeep schedules. With I-care options, greater than 99% of industrial breakdowns may be prevented, machine downtime is decreased by 10-20%, and upkeep prices are decreased by 35-45%.
Fabrice Brion, CEO of I-care, stated, “I-care has the ambition to become the world leader in prescriptive and predictive maintenance. The swift and successful production and rollout of our market leading Wi-care sensors plays a crucial role in our growth plans. ST’s STM32WB5MMGH6 wireless module provides an indispensable part of Wi-care.”
“Choosing a wireless module instead of engineering a chip-down solution is the fastest way for developers to complete their projects,” stated Hakim Jaafar, General Manager – BLE/802.15.4 MCU, STMicroelectronics. “The STM32WB5MMGH6 module, based on our own STM32WB55 wireless MCU and fully supported by ST, now makes this approach faster, easier, and more affordable than ever.”
The STM32WB5MMGH6TR is in manufacturing now and obtainable for brand new designs, priced from $6 for orders of 10,000 items. It is supported by ST’s 10-year product longevity dedication, which ensures long-term availability of elements for industrial functions.
Further technical data
The STM32WB55 MCU powering the STM32WB5MMGH6 has an Arm® Cortex®-M4 core for application-level processing and a Cortex-M0+ devoted to managing the built-in radio, which safeguards real-time efficiency in each domains.
The MCU comprises beneficiant on-chip RAM, which is especially advantageous when working the Thread protocol. Popular use circumstances embody wi-fi communication and management of units corresponding to distant sensors, good door locks, PC equipment together with printers, and infrastructure gear like community gateways and smart-building controllers. The radio’s multi-protocol know-how supplies flexibility and permits handy system administration and fleet administration.
Product designers working with the STM32WB5MMGH6 module profit from the intensive STM32 microcontroller development ecosystem that features free instruments just like the STM32CubeMX configurator and software program just like the STM32CubeWB MCU package deal. This package deal supplies important embedded-development assets, together with production-ready MISRA C and ISO/TS 16949 compliant Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) and low-layer APIs, FatFS file system, FreeRTOS, communication-protocol stacks, and code examples.
