Abstract

A switchgear cabinet or a switchgear cabinet assembly having at least one monitoring device arranged therein for monitoring switchgear cabinet functions, including temperature regulation. This invention provides extended control options for the safety of the switchgear cabinet, while maintaining its ease of use. To achieve this, the monitoring device is connected by a link to a monitoring module of a computational unit, which is responsible for external functions and is housed in the switchgear cabinet or assembly, and is configured for evaluating signals received from the monitoring module.
