Abstract
The present invention concerns a process for contact-less temperature regulation, in which the temperature is measured in a contact-less mode with a temperature measurement device and detected as an analog value and then digitized, wherein moreover there is provided a digital regulator which outputs a control value in dependence on the detected temperature and predetermined regulating parameters and a corresponding apparatus. In order to provide a process and a corresponding apparatus for contact-less temperature regulation which can have extremely short response times and which at the same time have a relatively high degree of accuracy and parameterizability, it is proposed in accordance with the invention that the measurement data which are digitized by the electronic measurement system are processed in one and the same processor for the purposes of temperature determination and regulation, which is integrated into the electronic measurement system or the housing of the electronic measurement system, so that the raw data are used within the processor both for ascertaining the current temperature and also for calculating and producing a control value and thus the output of the electronic measurement system in the form of the regulator output directly supplies a control value for influencing the temperature to be regulated of an object.
