Three Axis orientation

Compass for UAV & eVTOL

High performance avionics magnetometer

3-axis magnetometer

The magneto inductive geomagnetic sensor technology provides high resolution, low power consumption, large signal noise immunity, a large dynamic range, and high sampling rates for measuring the X, Y, and Z vector components of the magnetic field.

I/O Expansion Module

Veronte Avionics MEX increases capacity for input and output ports in Veronte Autopilots or other devices. It can be used for both, expanding the I/O in the system or to interface devices with weak signals through a robust communications protocol.

CAN Bus Management

The built-in microcontroller 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 communication bus. Redundancy and isolation in the system’s power supply make it robust against failures.

Wiring Optimization

Veronte Avionics Mex, in addition to being a magnetometer, increases the number of devices in the system. MEX becomes a quick solution for increasing connectivity capacity and allowing wiring optimization, especially in large systems.

 

I/O port expansion

Mex increases the number of ports, adding RS232, PWM, RS485, I2C to Veronte Autopilot

Data Concentrator

Redundant CAN bus increases data capacity, concentrating signals from other ports.

CAN Bus Protection

In the event of an anomaly or malfunction, Mex will isolate failing devices from the bus.

Advanced Magnetic Compass

It uses magneto-inductive technology to measure the magnetic field in 3-axis.

Magneto Inductive Technology

Geomagnetic sensor technology offers high resolution, significant signal noise immunity, an expansive dynamic range, and elevated sampling rates.

3 Axis Orientation

The magnetic compass detects the direction and strength of a magnetic field, including the earth’s field, to provide altitude and orientation references for any vehicle.

HMR2300 Drop-in Replacement

Veronte Avionics MEX is a drop-in replacement to Honeywell MHR-2300 via serial port. It was widely used in drones and other autonomous vehicles.

Robust Performance

Redundant Communications

One of the advantages of Veronte MEX is the robustness of the CAN bus communications. It includes a redundant CAN bus with galvanic isolation, so that it can continue to operate and communicate with the autopilot even if a CAN bus line breaks.

Failure Detection

The system features algorithms for message filtering and “babbling idiot failure” detection. Equipped with a built-in microcontroller, it conducts real-time monitoring of the CAN bus so it can quickly react in case of anomalies or malfunctions in the bus.

Peripheral Isolation

Advanced control of actuators and peripherals becomes feasible, being possible to condensate the connection of control, feedback, sensors… using various ports Analog, Digital, Serial, etc. into a redundant CAN Bus robust to failures and line breaks.

Robust & Flexible

Being offered in two different versions: Veronte MEX (is protected by an enclosure made of anodized aluminum 6061-T6) and Veronte MEX OEM (is smaller and lighter, but requires mechanical protection when installed). Both versions come with reverse polarity protection, ESD protection, and independent power supplies in order to ensure the robustness of the system.

Robust & Flexible

DO178C / ED-12 and DO254 /ED 80 aviation design standards are followed during the Veronte Avionics MEX development. It permits ensuring the hardware and software reliability for eVTOL and UAV certification and for the installation on critical autonomous vehicles. In addition, DO160 and MIL-STD-810 test permits ensure robustness to adverse environmental conditions.
