Abstract:
There is provided an area monitoring sensor, an operating state of which a user can be checked without approaching a hazard source. An area monitoring sensor, which detects an intruding object in a monitoring area to generate a stop signal for stopping an operation of an external device, is configured of: a measurement unit; a display unit that includes a screen display part for displaying an operating state of the measurement unit on a screen; and a wiring cable for detachably connecting the measurement unit and the display unit, to supply electric power between the measurement unit and the display unit.

Claim (Index 8):
An area monitoring safety sensor comprising:\n a measurement unit including:\n a first casing; \n a light source generating a detection light; \n a scanning mirror configured to direct the detection light to a monitoring area to scan the monitoring area in a circumferential direction about a rotational axis; \n a light receiver receiving the detection light reflected by a target to generate a detection signal; \n an angle sensor detecting a scanning angle of the detection light; and \n a distance calculator obtaining a distance to the target based on the detection signal; \n a display unit electrically and communicatively connected to the measurement unit via a first detachable cable, including:\n a second casing integrally attachable on the first casing detachably; and \n an indicator configured to display an operating state of the measurement unit; \n an external communication port, disposed on the first casing of the second casing, configured to communicate an area setting information specifying the monitoring area from an external computer which is different from the measurement unit and the display unit, to set the monitoring area; and an intrusion detector included in the measurement unit or the display unit, configured to determine whether an intruding object is present in the monitoring area on the basis of the distance to the target obtained by the distance calculator, the scanning angle of the detection light detected by the angle sensor and the area setting information specifying the monitoring area, to generate a safety binary signal representing ON state or OFF state.
