STMicroelectronics Expands STM32WL
Wireless Microcontroller Ecosystem with
wM-Bus Stack for Smart Metering from
Stackforce
Geneva, July 2, 2020 - STMicroelectronics
(NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across
the spectrum of electronics applications, and Stackforce – an ST
Authorized Partner - have announced a wireless M-Bus (wM-Bus)
software stack that leverages the integrated sub-GHz radio and
multiple modulation schemes supported by STM32WL microcontrollers
to cut bill-of-materials cost and enhance flexibility for
developers of smart-metering systems.
Developed by Stackforce, the wM-Bus stack complies with most of
EN 13757-3/-7, covering the upper layers of the Wireless M-Bus
protocol stack, as well as the lower layers (EN 13757-4) and its
wM-Bus modes S, T, and C used throughout Europe in the 868MHz band.
The mode N for operation at 169MHz is an option, too. In addition,
it meets several other metering standards, including the most
common Open Metering System (OMS) specification, as well as more
specific standards like Dutch Smart Meter Requirements (DSMR) or
CIG Italian Gas Committee specifications.
Hakim Jaafar, Marketing Manager STM32 Wireless products at
STMicroelectronics said: “Thanks to our collaboration with
Stackforce, STM32WL is reaching a new level of multi-protocol
compatibility. With this wireless wM-Bus stack, the STM32WL can
become the key product for a wide range of smart-metering
applications such as electricity, gas and water metering.“ David
Rahusen, Managing Director at Stackforce, said: “We’re proud to be
chosen by ST for collaboration on the next level of embedded
integration. We will shortly add a wM-Bus over LoRaWAN stack that
utilizes unique STM32WL features to merge the benefits of wM-Bus
for seamless integration into metering infrastructure with the
long-range capability of LoRaWAN urgently needed for metering
applications.”
Supported by the STM32 development ecosystem, STM32WL
microcontrollers are ultra-low-power devices that use a range of ST
technologies and design approaches to meet smart-meter designers’
needs. The sub-GHz radio inside STM32WL has a wide linear frequency
range, dual power output, and can satisfy EN 300 220, FCC CFR 47
Part 15, ARIB T108, and other radio-equipment regulations,
including China regulatory requirements to assist development of
products for markets worldwide. Other key features include an
integrated switched-mode power supply (SMPS) and hardware
cryptographic accelerators.
The Stackforce wM-Bus stack is available immediately through
here. The wM-Bus over LoRaWAN stack will be available end of July
2020.
STM32WL devices with up to 256KByte Flash and a BGA73 package
are in production now and are supported by ST’s 10-year
product-longevity commitment
