Both the container and the metering valve have a readable by a communication unit coding for identification. In this case, at least one feature feature or state feature in the control unit or in a separate arithmetic unit with at least one threshold and possibly the dosing be interrupted.
  • the disadvantage here is that in the known system, the metering amount and time or the volume to be metered is determined and controlled relatively complex about to be determined flow parameters. Another disadvantage is that in a plurality of interchangeable system components whose codes are read out via a common read connection to the communication unit, which can lead to errors.
  • US Pat. No. 7,052,603 B2 discloses a metering system in which a plurality of containers containing a medium to be metered, which are designed as replaceable disposable bags, are interconnected via a hose system and connected to a target container via a pump. Each of the disposable bags is followed by its own metering valve. The metering valves and the pump are controlled by a dosing control. The disadvantage here is that it can not be ensured that when replacing a disposable bag each of the correct and intended container is connected.
