Abstract: A sensor system comprising optoelectronic distance sensors for monitoring a hazard zone at a movable machine part having at least one protected field, wherein the optoelectronic distance sensors are arranged in annular form in a first ring at the movable machine part, wherein a tool is arranged at the movable machine part, and wherein the optical axes of the distance sensors each have an acute angle tangentially to the annular shape or the distance sensors are rotatably arranged at the ring.

Abstract: A safety device is provided for monitoring at least one machine that has at least one sensor for generating sensor data on the machine and a processing unit for the sensor data that is connected at least indirectly to the sensor and to the machine and that is configured as a runtime environment having at least one computing node and to allow at least one logic unit to run on the computing node, wherein at least one logic unit comprises a safety functional unit for a safety relevant evaluation of the sensor data to output in the case of a safety relevant event a safety signal to the machine for triggering a safety response, In this respect, the processing unit is furthermore configured to generate and resolve logic units and/or to assign them to a computing node.
