Abstract
An optoelectronic sensor for detecting an object in a monitored zone having at least one light source for transmitting transmitted light, a light receiver having a reception optics arranged upstream for generating received signals from light beams remitted at the object, and a control and evaluation unit for acquiring information on the object from the received signals has a beam splitter arrangement arranged downstream of the light source for splitting the transmitted light into a plurality of transmitted light beams separated from one another, wherein the beam splitter arrangement includes a plurality of switchable beam splitters for splitting the transmitted light.
