Embention Veronte CEX Certifiable Avionics I/O Expander & ARINC 429 / CAN Concentrator (P005452)
DO-178C / DO-254 & DO-160G certifiable IP68 I/O expander (60x41x37 mm, 117.9 g) adding ARINC 429 (5 Rx / 1 Tx), 2x CAN, RS232/485, 8x PWM, and 8x Analogue channels. Supplied across the United Kingdom by Torquety Ltd with application engineering review, 3D STEP CAD support, and commercial quotations in Pounds Sterling (GBP).
Technical Overview: Veronte CEX
The Embention Veronte CEX (Hardware v2.0, Official Part Number P005452) is a rugged, aviation-grade Communications Expander and Bus Concentrator developed in compliance with DO-178C, DO-254, and DO-160G. It enables distributed fly-by-wire wiring architectures by converting a redundant CAN bus link from a Veronte Autopilot 1x or 4x into localized actuator and avionics interfaces across the airframe.
Sealed in an IP68 anodized aluminium enclosure (60 x 41 x 37 mm, 117.9 g) operating from 6.5 VDC to 36 VDC, the Veronte CEX provides 5x ARINC 429 inputs and 1x ARINC 429 output, 2x isolated CAN buses, 2x RS-232, 1x RS-485, 8x PWM outputs, 4x ECAP, and 8x analogue inputs. Supplied and supported across the UK by Commercial-grade open-source flight controllers and non-certified power electronics lack deterministic real-time partitioning, hardware redundancy, and traceability artefacts required by UK CAA CAP 722, SORA SAIL III–VI, and NATO STANAG airworthiness authorities.
Packaged for strict SWaP-C airframe budgets (60 mm x 41 mm x 37 mm, 117.9 g, DO-160G aerospace grade), the Veronte CEX (P005452) integrates seamlessly across the Veronte avionics bus ecosystem. As Embention's official UK commercial and application engineering partner, TORQUETY LTD (UK Company No. 17124704, London WC2H 9JQ & Oxford +44 1865 679185) supplies hardware units, SOI certification data packages, HIL/SIL benches, and UK technical integration support priced in Pounds Sterling (GBP).
