Hardware unboxing

Check out our wiring video:

If you prefer to read, here are the steps to wire an O3R platform. You need the following hardware from ifm:

• One or several camera heads (O3R222 or O3R225 for example),

• An OVP8xx (for example the OVP810),

• One FAKRA cable for each camera head.

You also need:

• A reliable power supply capable of providing at least 24 V / 3.5 A

• An Ethernet cable rated for 1 Gbit/s (Gigabit) communication.

Then, follow the instructions below:

1. First, connect the heads to the VPU; the only requirement is to connect pairs of same imager types together, for instance as shown below:
   

Some example scenarios

Connection	Port 0	Port 1	Port 2	Port 3	Port 4	Port 5
example 1	camera 1 (3D)	camera 2 (3D)	camera 1 (2D)	camera 2 (2D)	camera 3 (3D)	camera 4 (3D)
example 2	camera 1 (2D)	camera 2 (2D)	camera 1 (3D)	camera 2 (3D)	camera 3 (2D)	camera 4 (2D)
example 3	camera 1 (3D)	camera 2 (3D)	camera 3 (3D)	camera 4 (3D)	camera 5 (3D)	camera 6 (3D)
example 4	camera 1 (3D-VGA)	camera 2 (3D-VGA)	camera 3 (3D)	camera 4 (3D)	-	-
example 5	camera 1 (3D-VGA)	camera 2 (3D-VGA)	camera 3 (3D-VGA)	camera 4 (3D-VGA)	-	-

Note

Please note that 38k(O3R222 / O3R225) and VGA(O3R252) are different 3D image sensor types and should not be connected to same port pair.

2. Connect power to the VPU, the pins are defined as follows:

   • 1 screen

   • 2 24 V

   • 3 GND

   • 4 CAN +

   • 5 CAN -

3. Connect the Ethernet cable,

4. Once all the connected cameras LEDs are green, the VPU is properly booted up.

That’s it!
