Pinout

The 68 pin main connector has the distribution of input/output channels as follows:

Connector HEW.LM.368.XLNP (mounted in CEX)

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:

Veronte Harness Green 68P Dev Harness CEX 2.0
Harness Green 68P
Harness CEX 2.0
Harness available on demand with the Embention reference P001623 Harness available on demand with the Embention reference P006140

Dimensions

  • Harness Green 68P wire gauge: 22 AWG

  • Cables length: 52 cm

  • Harness plug dimensions:

Connector FGW.LM.368.XLCT dimensions (cm)

Pinout

Harness plug - FGH.LM.368.XLCT (frontal view)

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.

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.
