Abstract
Abstract 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.
