Method and device for determining data associated with a process valve shut-off body

A method for operating a device for providing data associated with an exchangeable process valve shut-off body, in particular with a valve diaphragm, the method comprising:

• illuminating, by at least one illumination apparatus, the process valve shut-off body arranged in a chamber;
• generating, by at least one image sensor, at least one digital image of the process valve shut-off body arranged in the chamber and irradiated with light by the illumination apparatus;
• displaying, by at least one display unit, the at least one digital image;
• determining, by at least one data processing unit, the data associated with the process valve shut-off body, wherein the data comprises the at least one digital image;
• and
• sending, by at least one communication interface, in particular by a mobile radio interface, the data associated with the process valve shut-off body.

A device for providing data associated with a process valve shut-off body, the device comprising:

• at least one illumination apparatus configured to illuminate the process valve shut-off body arranged in a chamber;
• at least one image sensor configured to generate at least one digital image of the process valve shut-off body arranged in the chamber and irradiated with light by the illumination apparatus;
• at least one display unit configured to display the at least one digital image;
• at least one data processing unit configured to determine the data associated with the process valve shut-off body, wherein the data comprises the at least one digital image;
• and at least one communication interface, in particular a mobile radio interface, configured to send the data associated with the process valve shut-off body.
