Method of monitoring a protected zone

A sensor arrangement for securing a monitored zone having at least one hazard zone with respect to a machine is provided, wherein the sensor arrangement has at least one optoelectronic monitoring sensor for detecting objects in the monitored zone and has a control and evaluation unit that is configured to compare the positions of detected objects with the hazard zone and to initiate a safety-relevant response of the machine in the case of a dangerous position. The control and evaluation unit is furthermore configured to generate and to monitor a further hazard zone with respect to a detected object.
