All of these user systems (Altitude Alert, Altitude Control, and ATC Transponders) use the outputs from the Air Data Computers.

The Air Data computer(s) uses 3 or more 429 output buses to feed air data information to much more than just the systems listed above. Cabin altitude control, Auto-Pilot, FMS (Flight Management Systems), Yaw Damper, Aileron Lockout, Flap Limiting, Elevator Feel, Rudder Limiting are just a few air data user systems.
  
  
 
  
  
The Air Data computers receive pitot/static pressures from two pneumatic hookups. They also receive information from the AOA (angle of attack) and TAT (total air temp) probes. I would guess the number of 429 output labels to exceed 60.
  
  
 
  
  
A couple of images that might help explain a 429 data bus output are below.
