MEX

Veronte Avionics

Veronte Avionics MEX stands as a powerful peripheral to ease the reduction of wire in autonomous vehicles at the time it allows to increase the number of devices in the system. It makes possible to relocate and to group sensors, actuators, payloads, motor controllers… enhancing the I/O connectivity in the Veronte Autopilot.

Veronte Avionics MEX includes a magnetometer, which detects direction and strength of a magnetic field, including the earthly field, which allows to obtain altitude and orientation references. With its easy integration, MEX becomes a quick solution for increasing connectivity capacity and allowing wiring optimization, especially in large systems.

Magnetometer

Magnetometer
Oriented in orthogonal directions to measure the X, Y, and Z vector components of a magnetic field, it uses magneto-inductive technology to measure differences in orientation. The geomagnetic sensor technology provides high resolution, low power consumption, large signal noise immunity, a large dynamic range, and, high sampling rates. The magnetometer measurements are sent through RS-232, RS-485 or CAN bus channels to other devices. The operating temperature is -40 to +85 ºC having stable measurements over temperature and being inherently free from offset drift. Veronte Avionics MEX is a drop-in replacement to Honeywell RM-2300, widely used in drones and other autonomous vehicles.

Extended I/O

With Veronte Avionics MEX, the data capacity for input and output in Veronte Autopilots or other devices is widely increased. The advanced design makes it possible to control or interface several peripherals (PWM, UART, RS232, RS485, Digital Output, I2C, Analog Inputs…) through a redundant  CAN bus.

It can be used for both, expanding the I/O in the system or to interface devices with weak signals trought 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.

MEX Variants

MEX Variants

Veronte MEX is designed for the installation on autonomous vehicles, being 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 and lighter, 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 power supplies in order to ensure the robustness of the system.

Smart Can Isolator

Smart Can Isolator
The Smart CAN Isolator feature allows Veronte CEX to be used for CAN Bus network protection. It is designed for use in critical applications where a robust fault detection and isolation system is required. The hardware includes galvanic isolation as well as algorithms for message filtering and "babbling idiot failures" detection.The system has a built-in microcontroller that performs real-time monitoring of the CAN bus and, in the event of an anomaly or malfunction, disconnects the equipment, isolating it from the critical communications bus. Developed according to DO178C and DO254, the redundancy and isolation in the power supply of the system make it robust against failures.
 

Certification

Certification

DO178C / ED-12 and DO254 aviation design standards are followed during the Veronte MEX development. It permits ensuring the hardware and software reliability for eVTOL and UAV certification and for the installation on critical devices. In addition, DO160 and MIL-STD-810 test permits 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. It can be used with Veronte SCI for extended CAN bus protection.
