Optoelectronic sensor for monitoring an observation area has an optical receiver with multiple receiver elements that are connected via a switching matrix to a lesser number of signal processing units and an evaluation unit

摘要

Optoelectronic sensor has a light emitter for transmission of light into an observation region to be monitored and a receiver for receiving a light signal from the observation region. The receiver has a number of receiving elements. The receiving elements are grouped and linked to a lesser number of signal processing units and the signal processing units are linked to an evaluation unit. An Independent claim is made for a method for monitoring an observation region using an optoelectronic sensor.
