Estimating the term…
In a temperature measuring device set (1) with at least one thermocouple (2) and a temperature measuring device (3) that can be connected to the thermocouple (2) in order to measure a temperature, according to the invention a measurement sensor (13, 14) for measuring or detecting a magnetic property is arranged on at least one opposing contact element (11, 12) mating with a contact element (9, 10) of the thermocouple (2), in order to automatically provide specific information or a characteristic curve of the connected thermocouple (2) on the basis of an output signal of the measurement sensor (13, 14).
A temperature measuring device (3) comprising at least two mating contact elements (11, 12) which are configured to receive in each case one contact element (9, 10) of a plugged-in thermocouple (2), wherein a first measurement sensor (13, 14) is arranged on at least one first mating contact element (11, 12) of the at least two mating contact elements (11, 12), a magnetic property of the contact element (9, 10), which is plug-connected to the first mating contact element (11, 12), being detectable using said first measurement sensor, and the first measurement sensor (13, 14) is readable by a drive unit (15), and the drive unit (15) provides a characteristic curve or a specific item of information about the plugged-in thermocouple (2) depending on an output signal from the first measurement sensor (13, 14).
A method for configuring a temperature measuring device (3) that is operatable with a thermocouple (2), comprising connecting the thermocouple (2) to the temperature measuring device (3), and after connection of the thermocouple (2) to the temperature measuring device (3), checking or measuring a magnetic property of a contact element (9, 10) of the thermocouple (2), and automatically generating at least one of a specific item of information or a characteristic curve of the connected thermocouple (2) depending on a result of the check or measurement of the magnetic property.
