Smart motors which include regulators, IOs, bus systems and control elements beside the motor, have been a parade discipline by Dunkermotoren for more than 20 years. They are the worldwide market leader when it comes to integrated BLDC motors. But lately the focus of motor manufacturers is shifting to the issue of “The Internet of Things”, asking the decisive question. Which meaning and requirements does the internet of Things have for motors? Dunkermotoren asks this question actively and is working on answers to integrate smart motors in the “Internet of Things”.

STMicroelectronics has updated the TouchGFX user-interface software framework for STM32 microcontrollers, adding new features that enable smoother and more dynamic user interfaces and lower demand on the memory and CPU.
