Abstract
The invention relates to a switchgear cabinet or rack comprising a mounting unit, the front of which has vertical mounting profiles that laterally delimit an installation frame for installed user-side units, the front of said profiles being provided with flat fixing sections for attaching laterally projecting mounting sections of the installed units, and comprising components of a detection device for determining the presence of an installed unit in an installation position of the installation frame. The components of the detection device have a vertical detector strip that is attached to a mounting section and contains detector elements and code carriers that are provided on the installed units. To achieve a simple assembly with a precise allocation of the components of the detection device, the mounting section has a cavity that is at least partially adapted to the cross-section of the antenna strip, is open at the front and is located laterally outside the neighboring fixing section, an abutment section that is set back in relation to the plane of the fixing section at least by the cross-sectional depth of the detector strip and an inner boundary wall that delimits the cavity on the side facing the installation space.
