A
temperature control device includes a temperature
detector, a difference operation unit, a controller, a saturation
processing circuit unit, a rewritable storage unit, and a conversion unit. The difference operation unit operates a digital value corresponding to a difference value between a detected temperature value and a target temperature. The controller calculates a manipulated variable using the digital value operated by the difference operation unit. The saturation
processing circuit unit includes a digital circuit to limit an output value of the controller to a pre-set upper
limit value. The rewritable storage unit stores the upper
limit value read from a
storage area of the rewritable storage unit and input into the saturation
processing circuit unit. The conversion unit converts the output value of the saturation processing circuit unit into an
analog signal to output the converted value as a control command value to the heater.
