Abstract
A method for determining a physical and/or chemical, temperature dependent, process variable of process automation technology utilizing a resistance thermometer (RPt1000), wherein the resistance thermometer (RPt1000) is installed in an electrical circuit, comprising the steps of: measuring a first voltage (U1) across at least a first precision resistor (R1); measuring a second voltage (U2) across at least a second precision resistor (R2); measuring a third voltage (U3) across at least a third precision resistor (R3), wherein cyclically or continuously a constant electrical current (I) is sent through the at least first precision resistor (R1), the at least second precision resistor (R2) or the at least third precision resistor (R3); determining temperature coefficients (a, b, c) characteristic for the electrical circuit by means of the first voltage (U1), the second voltage (U2) and the third voltage (U3); sending the constant electrical current (I) through the resistance thermometer (RPt1000) and measuring a voltage (U) across the resistance thermometer (RPt1000); and determining the temperature (T) by means of the temperature coefficients (a, b, c) and the measured voltage (U).
