Original Abstract Submitted
a sensor module. the sensor module includes at least two sensor units; a control device configured to adjust an electrical supply voltage for the sensor units; and a sensor signal output. the sensor units can be electrically connected to or electrically disconnected from the control device and are electrically connected to the sensor signal output. a first sensor unit, during a normal operation, provides a first output signal through the sensor signal output, and a second sensor unit, during an energy-saving operation, provides a second output signal through the sensor signal output. a decision unit is associated with the control device, and electrically connects or disconnects the first or second sensor unit to the control device depending on the adjusted electrical supply voltage. the control device is configured to, during the energy-saving operation, change the supply voltage when the output signal reaches a defined threshold value.
