Cabinet or switchgear cabinet assembly having a monitoring device arranged therein

The invention relates to a switchgear cabinet or a switchgear cabinet assembly comprising at least one monitoring device (UST) arranged therein for monitoring switchgear cabinet functions including temperature regulation. The aim of the invention is to provide extended control options for the safety of the switchgear cabinet, whilst maintaining its ease of use. To achieve this, the monitoring device (UST) is connected by means of a link (L1) to a monitoring module (M1) of a computational unit (C1), 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.
