ARINC-429 signals (Need More)

[RV6ARoger]

I am wiring up a pretty complicated panel and it has a Garmin 530W, an Avidyne EX-5000, a Tru-trak Sorcerer and a GTX-330 transponder. I am trying to feed signals from the 530 to a number of devices, namely the Avidyne, a GTX 330 transponder and a Tru-trak Sorcerer. The 530 doesn't have enough GPS 429 OUT signals to drive everything, and I know I can double up the outputs on the out side, since the fan out should carry the load.

I have a couple of questions or possibilities

1. How many signals will the GPS 50 ARINC-429 signal drive?

2. Or, does anyone know if I can feed this signal to the Avidyne, and then get it to come out on other 429 output ports on the Avidyne? Is that possible?

I need to drive the 3 devices from the GNS-530, and I am concerned about just bussing the signals together.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Roger

My 430W installation manual says each ARINC 429 output will drive up to 5 other devices' inputs - I imagine the 530 is the same.

good luck,

After reading and reading and reading, I must have missed this. I will look some more in the manual. Thanks. Roger

The fan-out for the 530W is the same as the 430. It will drive up to 5 receivers.
