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), HEAD

  • An OVP8xx (for example the OVP810), VPU

  • One FAKRA cable for each camera head.

You also need:

  • A strong enough power source: 3.5A and 24V minimum,

  • An Ethernet cable.

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:
    CONNECTION-OVERVIEW

  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!
