At least one voltage output to an electrical load is also provided. A power supply unit, which provides the voltage supply for the switch, is provided in the housing of the switch. The power supply unit also feeds the at least one voltage output to an external load. A field bus element, which is preferably configured to monitor and/or to control the voltage output to an external load, is integrated in the housing of the switch.
