Dosing system and method for the dosing of a medium
First Claim
1. A dosing system with a dosing control unit (4), comprisingat least one exchangeable container (2) for holding a medium to be dosed,a dosing valve (3, 3′
- ) connected to the at least one exchangeable container (2),at least a first part of the dosing valve (3, 3′
) that comes into contact with the medium is a first exchangeable system component (7, 10) and includes a first identification memory for storing only a first machine-readable code for first identification purposes, each of the first exchangeable system component (7, 10) and the at least one exchangeable container (2) being exchangeable independently of one another;
wherein the at least one exchangeable container (2) includes a second identification memory for storing only a second machine-readable code for second identification purposes,wherein the at least one exchangeable container and the first exchangeable system component are disposable independently of one another,wherein the dosing control unit (4) is connected to a communication unit (5) capable of reading the codes,wherein the at least first part of the dosing valve (3, 2′
) that comes into contact with the medium is disposable independently of the at least one exchangeable container, andwherein the communication unit (5) has a read connection (22) to the at least one exchangeable container and the first exchangeable system component for independently identifying the at least one exchangeable container and the first exchangeable system component based on the first machine-readable code or the second machine-readable code;
wherein the first machine-readable code and the second machine-readable code represents only information for verifying permissibility of using the at least one exchangeable container and the first exchangeable system component with one another.

Abstract
A dosing system and a method for dosing a medium, having a dosing control unit (4), at least one exchangeable container (2) containing a medium to be dosed, and a dosing valve (3, 3′) that can be connected to the container (2), wherein at least one part of the dosing valve (3, 3′) that comes into contact with the medium is designed as an exchangeable system component (7, 10) and has a machine-readable code for identification purposes, wherein at least one container (2), as an exchangeable system component (2), has a machine-readable code for identification purposes, wherein the exchangeable parts (2, 7, 10, 19) that come into contact with the medium are designed as disposable parts, and wherein the dosing control unit (4) is connected with a communication unit (5) to read the codes, and wherein the communication unit (5) has a unique read connection (22) to each exchangeable system component (2, 7, 10, 19) or its code.

1. A dosing system with a dosing control unit (4), comprising
at least one exchangeable container (2) for holding a medium to be dosed, a dosing valve (3, 3′ - ) connected to the at least one exchangeable container (2),
at least a first part of the dosing valve (3, 3′
) that comes into contact with the medium is a first exchangeable system component (7, 10) and includes a first identification memory for storing only a first machine-readable code for first identification purposes, each of the first exchangeable system component (7, 10) and the at least one exchangeable container (2) being exchangeable independently of one another;wherein the at least one exchangeable container (2) includes a second identification memory for storing only a second machine-readable code for second identification purposes, wherein the at least one exchangeable container and the first exchangeable system component are disposable independently of one another, wherein the dosing control unit (4) is connected to a communication unit (5) capable of reading the codes, wherein the at least first part of the dosing valve (3, 2′
) that comes into contact with the medium is disposable independently of the at least one exchangeable container, andwherein the communication unit (5) has a read connection (22) to the at least one exchangeable container and the first exchangeable system component for independently identifying the at least one exchangeable container and the first exchangeable system component based on the first machine-readable code or the second machine-readable code;
wherein the first machine-readable code and the second machine-readable code represents only information for verifying permissibility of using the at least one exchangeable container and the first exchangeable system component with one another. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
- ) connected to the at least one exchangeable container (2),
