Warning
Check the pin number before connecting. The color code is repeated 3 times due to the amount of pins. First section corresponds to pins 1-30, the second section to pins 31-60 and the third one to pins 61-68. Pin number increases following the black line of the pictures above: counterclockwise for the connector and clockwise for the plug.

Harness
A wire harness is a structured assembly of cables and connectors used to organize and manage wiring in electrical and electronic systems. It is designed to ensure a tidy and secure installation of cables, preventing tangles, electromagnetic interference, and facilitating maintenance.
CEX 2.0 has two compatible harnesses:

Pinout

Veronte Harness Green 68P
The pinout of this harness is the same as the Veronte CEX pinout above. The color code of the harness wires is given below.
Warning
Check the pin number before connecting. The color code is repeated 3 times due to the amount of pins. First section (yellow) corresponds to pins 1-30, the second section (blue) to pins 31-60 and the third one (red) to pins 61-68. Pin number increases following the black line of the pictures above: counterclockwise for the connector and clockwise for the plug.

Dev Harness CEX 2.0
This harness has some connectors already implemented for easy operation. Below is detailed information on which pins these connectors are connected to:
Connector | PIN | Signal |
---|---|---|
Main VCC | 1 | Power supply 1 |
2 | Power supply 2 | |
3 | GND | |
4 | GND | |
RS232 connector | 15 | RS-232 (A) TX |
16 | RS-232 (A) RX | |
17 | GND | |
Maintenance button | 20 | I2C SCL |
21 | I2C SDA |
CAN Assembly
As described in Warnings section, CEX itself does not allow the connection of multiple CEX or other CAN Bus devices to the same line. It is therefore possible to use a Veronte Autopilot for this purpose. Considering Veronte Autopilot includes one entrance resistance of 120 , a second resistance needs to be placed at the end of the line (again 120 ). This resistance may be placed on the cable or on another PCB.
