Abstract:
A safe optoelectronic sensor ( 10 ) is provided for securing a monitored zone ( 12 ) comprising at least one machine ( 26 ) that forms a hazard area ( 26 a - b ), wherein the sensor ( 10 ) has a light receiver ( 16 a - b ) for generating a received signal from received light from the monitored zone ( 12 ); a control and evaluation unit ( 24 ) for detecting object positions ( 28 ) in the monitored zone ( 12 ) from the received signal; and a safe output interface ( 30 ) for information acquired from the object positions ( 28 ). The control and evaluation unit ( 24 ) is here configured to determine the shortest distance between the hazard area ( 26 a - b ) and object positions ( 28 ) and to provide it at the safe output interface ( 30 ).

Claim (Index 17):
An arrangement of at least one safe optoelectronic sensor and of a control, the safe optoelectronic sensor being provided to secure a monitored zone, the monitored zone comprising at least one secured machine that forms a hazard area having:\n a light receiver for generating a received signal from received light from the monitored zone; a control and evaluation unit for detecting object positions in the monitored zone from the received signal; and a safe output interface for information acquired from the object positions, wherein the control and evaluation unit is configured to determine the shortest distance between the hazard area and object positions and to provide the shortest distance at the safe output interface; and the control being connected to the output interface and to the secured machine, wherein the control is configured to evaluate shortest distances provided by the safe optoelectronic sensor and to initiate a safety directed response as required.
