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 7):
The safe optoelectronic sensor in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the control and evaluation unit is configured to provide at least one piece of additional information at the output interface, with the at least one piece of additional information comprising at least one further shortest distance from other sections of the closest object or other objects, an object position, a direction of movement, a speed, an object envelope, or an object cloud.
