Abstract

A monitoring-and-control drawer for an electrical enclosure is connected to an electricity source and to an electrical load and is linked to at least one communication interface allowing the drawer to be supplied with power or to communicate with an industrial computer. The monitoring-and-control drawer is mobile within the enclosure between three main positions: a disconnected position, a test position, and an operating position. At least one lateral structure comprises a mobile lateral contact (352) comprising electrical contacts (436) which, during the movement of the drawer between the test position and the operating position, are fixed with respect to a communication interface and connect the drawer to this interface. The electrical contacts are mobile along a longitudinal axis of the drawer with respect to the drawer when the drawer is between an engagement position and its operating position and are mobile along a transverse axis of the drawer when the drawer is between its engagement position and its test position.
