Abstract
The invention relates to a control cabinet monitoring device, comprising a control device which is connected via a field bus to various sensors and/or actuators for monitoring and controlling various control cabinet functions, such as climate control, moisture control and access control. Flexible adaptation possibilities for different applications of control cabinets are offered in that at least one part of the sensors and/or actuators are direct connection sensors and/or direct connection actuators, each having a dedicated bus coupling circuit and being coupled by same to the field bus, and the control device has an initialization unit or can be connected to such a unit, via which the direct connection sensors and/or the direct connection actuators can be initialized before startup and automatically addressed and are subsequently connected via the control device for the exchange of data for operating purposes on the basis of individually allocated addresses.
