A switchgear cabinet monitoring installation, wherein a switchgear cabinet has at least one control device for units built-in or units attached to the switchgear cabinet, and at least one server. A rapid detection and reaction to a failure of the network is achieved with each control device and each server being connected via the network with a lead computer, wherein the control devices are coupled through additional connections with the lead computer and via connectors with the servers. In case of a failure of the network, the data exchange between the control devices and the lead computer can be established via the additional connection.
