# ifm O3R camera and processing-unit CAD guide

The ifm O3R system uses camera hardware and a processing unit as separate equipment items. A model for an OVP processing unit is not the same as the geometry or viewing arrangement of a camera head.

Official-source discovery only. Confirm the selected regional product, installation configuration and documentation with the manufacturer.
Follow the O3R documentation’s hardware table to the exact unit’s drawing route. Identify the OVP or O3R reference and check hardware/documentation version. Use mechanical CAD for placement, then obtain the separate connector, cable and sensing/visibility requirements.


## In plain English

### What is this ifm resource?

The ifm O3R system uses camera hardware and a processing unit as separate equipment items. A model for an OVP processing unit is not the same as the geometry or viewing arrangement of a camera head.

### A simple example

A machine layout can place the processing unit inside an enclosure and position the selected camera head where it can view the intended area.

### What the drawings help you do

Follow the O3R documentation’s hardware table to the exact unit’s drawing route. Identify the OVP or O3R reference and check hardware/documentation version. Use mechanical CAD for placement, then obtain the separate connector, cable and sensing/visibility requirements.

### Before using this reference

- Identify camera-head and processing-unit references separately.
- Confirm the hardware revision and matching documentation.
- Request mounting geometry plus connector and viewing information.

### Does the processing-unit CAD model show the camera’s field of view?

No. Processing-unit geometry and camera viewing requirements describe different parts of the system. Obtain the information for the actual camera and mounting arrangement.

### Terms

- Geometry: The physical shape represented by the model or drawing.
- Configuration: The exact equipment version and options selected for the installation.
- Revision: The recorded version of the file or document.

## Which file should I choose?

Follow the O3R documentation’s hardware table to the exact unit’s drawing route. Identify the OVP or O3R reference and check hardware/documentation version. Use mechanical CAD for placement, then obtain the separate connector, cable and sensing/visibility requirements.
