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.

Abstract: A method for visualizing 3D image data of a 3D sensor (10) with a plurality of 3D points which form a lateral 2D arrangement with a respective depth value, wherein connected segments (32) are formed from connected 3D points and the segments (32) are displayed, and wherein two respective 3D points are connected in the same segment (32) if they are laterally adjacent and also differ in their depth value by at most a depth threshold (z).

Abstract: A method of configuring at least one hazard zone to be monitored by at least one three-dimensional (3D) sensor includes fixing outer surfaces, where the at least one hazard zone is a volume defined by the outer surfaces, and is a zone in which a machine to be secured is located. Additionally, a check is made during the configuration or after the configuration whether the outer surfaces are visible to the at least one 3D sensor.
