A monitoring device for safeguarding a driven element against undesired collisions with an object lying on the movement path of the driven element is proposed, said monitoring device comprising at least one transmitting element and a receiving element. According to the invention, the device is designed such that the at least one transmitting element, is arranged in a horizontal boundary region of an opening to be monitored, which opening can be at least partially closed by the driven element. Moreover, a multiplicity of receiving elements are arranged in a horizontal, opposite boundary region in distributed fashion along the opening to be monitored, wherein the at least one transmitting element, together with each of the multiplicity of receiving elements forms a light barrier arrangement, which can be evaluated in each case by evaluation means. |
