Abstract: A zone is monitored with an optoelectronic sensor. Light is transmitted in accordance with a structured light pattern in the direction of the monitored zone and is received from the monitored zone. The received light is converted into received signals and the received signals are evaluated with respect to the presence of an object, or with respect to a movement of an object, in the monitored zone. The light is transmitted and/or received in accordance with at least two different light patterns.

Abstract: The invention relates to an optoelectronic monitoring device for the detection of objects intruding into a monitored zone comprising at least one transmitter, in particular a light grid, arranged at an end of the monitored zone and having a group of transmission elements spaced apart from one another and each transmitting electromagnetic radiation into the monitored zone, at least one reflector arranged at an end of the monitored zone opposite the transmitter for radiation transmitted by the transmission elements, at least one receiver which has at least one spatially resolving reception element for radiation reflected by the reflector, and an evaluation device coupled with the reception element, wherein the transmitter, the reflector and the receiver are made and arranged such that, during the monitoring operation, at least a part of the group of transmission elements comprising a plurality of transmission elements is imaged on the reception element by means of the reflector and a check is made by means of t

Abstract: An optic-electronic arrangement to prevent access to or detect objects approaching a protected zone. An emitter/receiver unit is positioned on one side of the zone and an opposing, passive reflector unit is positioned at the other side of the zone. Emitted light is directed from one side of the zone to the other side along a control distance and is divided into a plurality of spatially spaced apart reflected beam portions that extend along the control distance and are detected by sensors in the emitter/receiver unit for further processing.
