Patent number: 6509654Abstract: The invention relates to a control box with monitoring and control modules for statuses of built-in and/or fitted components thereof. Adaptions for various operative requirements with a comprehensible construction is achieved in that there is a central control device which can be connected via inputs and outputs to the monitoring and/or control components and by means of which the statuses of the various built-in and/or fitted components can be individually monitored, controlled and/or regulated in a predetermined or predeterminable manner.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 1998Date of Patent: January 21, 2003Assignee: Rittal-Werk Rudolf Loh & GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Gunter Ciliox, Markus Hain, Jorg Kreiling, Achim Edelmann

Patent number: 6348745Abstract: A switchgear cabinet monitoring arrangement with a central control arrangement for monitoring, controlling and/or regulating switchgear cabinet functions, and having a base device with inputs and outputs, in which monitoring and control components and a voltage supply device are arranged. Adaptation to different requirements is achieved because the base device has several function card insertion slots. Several function cards with different monitoring, control, regulation and/or switching functions are provided with an appropriate identification and for selective insertion in the function card insertion slots. An identification device determines which function card insertion slots (2.1, . . . 2N) are occupied and of what type is the possibly inserted function card.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2000Date of Patent: February 19, 2002Assignee: Rittal-Werk Rudolf Loh GmbH & Co.

Patent number: 6346882Abstract: A switchgear cabinet monitoring arrangement with a monitoring unit (ÜE) having a control device (ST), an indicator control and inputs for connecting sensors, outputs for connecting actuators, and a programming unit which is or can be connected with the monitoring unit, and with an indicator device. An improved adaptation to various uses of the switchgear cabinet is achieved because visual and/or acoustical notices for the distribution via the indicator device can be provided and changed by the programming unit and can be transmitted to the monitoring unit and stored in a memory device. As a function of the switchgear states detected via the sensors, the notices can be transmitted by the control device to the indicator device and can be displayed on the indicator device.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2000Date of Patent: February 12, 2002Assignee: Rittal-Werk Rudolf Loh GmbH & Co.
