Abstract
A device for determining and/or monitoring a process variable of a medium includes a sensor unit having a mechanically oscillatable unit, a first piezoelectric element, a unit for determining and/or monitoring a temperature of the medium and an electronic system. The device is designed to excite the mechanically oscillatable unit and to receive the mechanical oscillations of the oscillatable unit, to convert them into a first receiving signal, to emit a transmission signal and to receive a second receiving signal, wherein the electronic system is designed to determine the process variable based on the first and/or second receiving signal. The unit for determining and/or monitoring the temperature includes a first and a second temperature sensor arranged at a distance from one another, and the electronic system is designed to determine the temperature of the medium based on a first and/or second temperature receiving signal.
