Questions:
- black_vet6: What is a MAC and can I attach multiple MACs?
- black_vet6: Can I use the Ethernet in MyNewt?
- STM32-P103: Can I connect multiple UEXT boards?
- STM32-P103: Can I use the Ethernet in MyNewt?
...
For powering: A PoE Extractor that is connected to the Ethernet connector and the boards power supply
Hardware selection
Regarding communication every option will require one Ethernet Port, however for the second network adapter there is a number of options: Ethernet, WiFi, 6LoWPAN, BlueTooth Low Energy, LoRaWan
All of these communication forms have different use-cases and capabilities:
- Ethernet: No range, highest throughput
- Wifi: short range, high throughput
- 6LoWPAN, BlueTooth Low Energy: Range +/- 100m medium range, medium throughput
- LoRaWan: Long range (1-50km), small throughput
I see the following usage scenarios:
- Adding industrial hardware that's on the shopfloor with the ability to connect an ethernet-cable: Ethernet (Energy consumption doesn't matter)
- Adding industrial hardware that's on the shopfloor without the ability to connect an ethernet-cable: WiFi (Energy consumption doesn't matter)
- Adding industrial hardware that's on the factory ground without the ability to connect an ethernet-cable: 6LoWPAN, BlueTooth Low Energy (Energy consumption might matter)
- Adding industrial hardware that's off-site: LoRaWan, Sigfox (Low energy consumption is probably important)
Regarding the MCUs, I have to admit that I have absolutely no idea how small I can go. So for the shopfloor scenarios I'll probably go for the higher performant STM32F models.
For the other two, I'll try the low energy options.
Memory wise, I'll probably go more for the 512 KB Flash versions of the STM32F models and the 64 MHz
This results in the following matrix:
Name | MCU | Comm | Additional Comm Chip | Board | Adons | Remarks |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cabled Shopfloor | STM32F767ZIT6U | Ethernet | W5500 | Nucleo F767ZI | Highest performance MCU, Lots of Memory | |
Wireless Shopfloor | STM32F411RET6U | WiFi | W5500, SPWF01SA | Nucleo F411RE | X-NUCLEO-IDW01M1 (WiFi) | Medium sized MCU, medium Memory |
Wireless On-Site | Nordic nRF52840 | BlueTooth Low Energy | W5500 | Nordic nRF52840 DK | ||
Wireless Off-Site | STM32L072CZ | LoRaWan | W5500 | B-L072Z-LRWAN1 |
Order List:
- Nucleo F767ZI: 26€
- Nucleo F411RE: 19€
- Nordic nRF52840 DK: 52€
- B-L072Z-LRWAN1: 50€
