A sensor for detecting objects within a monitoring range, with sensor components and an evaluation unit (). An object detection signal is generated in the evaluation unit () in dependence upon sensor signals of the sensor components. The sensor has a device connection unit () having connection means designed for connecting to a connection module (). A configuration jumper and/or a configuration memory () can be attached to the device connection unit (). Thereby a signal distribution can be preset to connection elements of the connection module () and/or an operating mode of the sensor can be preset.

Sensor

A sensor for detecting objects within a monitoring range, with sensor components and an evaluation unit (). An object detection signal is generated in the evaluation unit () in dependence upon sensor signals from sensor components. A selector unit and an input interface () with mechanical setting element are provided, wherein a selection of a parameter set is made in the selector unit () from a number of preconfigured parameter sets in dependence upon a setting configuration of the mechanical setting element of the input interface. The selected parameter set is adopted for the functioning of the sensor.
