Veronte MEX

Veronte MEX

Extended I/O

With Veronte MEX, the data capacity for input and output in Veronte Autopilots is increased in a great manner. The advanced design makes it possible to control several peripherals (PWM, UART, Digital Output, I2C, Analog Inputs…) through the CAN Bus.

It can be used for both, expanding the I/O capacity in Veronte Autopilot, and for controlling peripherals with a robust communications protocol. If needed, multiple Veronte MEX boards can be installed in the same network for increasing the number of I/O ports or because of system architecture needs.

Magnetometer

Using technology magneto-inductive with 3 sense axes, the internal magnetometer allows to measure differences of altitude and orientation. The geomagnetic sensor technology provides high resolution, low power consumption, large signal noise immunity, a large dynamic range and, high sampling rates. Measurements are stable over temperature and inherently free from offset drift.

The magnetometer measurements are sent through RS-232, RS-485 or CAN channels to other devices, like any other variable, and the operating temperature is -40 to +85 ºC. Veronte MEX is equivalent to Honeywell RM-230.

MEX Variants

Veronte MEX is offered in two different versions: Veronte MEX and Veronte MEX OEM. The MEX version is protected by an enclosure made of anodized aluminium 6061-T6, being robust against vibration in the range of an industrial-grade product.

The Veronte MEX OEM version is smaller, lighter, and has better heat dissipation; but requires mechanical protection when installed. Veronte MEX OEM weighs only 50g, while the MEX version weighs 100 g. Both versions come with reverse polarity protection, ESD protection, and independent supplies.

Certification

DO178C / ED-12 and DO254 aviation design standards are followed during the Veronte Mex (DAL-B). It permits ensuring the hardware and software reliability for eVTOL and UAV certification. In addition, DO160 and MIL-STD-810 test permits to ensure robustness to adverse environmental conditions.

The robustness makes the system resistant to electromagnetic interference and permits the installation of long cables without signal loss. Furthermore, it includes redundancy with CAN Bus isolation, making the system operational even in case of a CAN Bus break of line.
