  • control unit 21 is designed to carry out an activation via the several signal lines 27a, 27b, 27c, 27d, 27e, 27f, which functions approximately as follows:
  • a dosing request is received from a corresponding target device 11a or 11b via the corresponding signal line 25a or 25b
  • a corresponding fluid connection is first established between the relevant container 12a, 12b, 12c and the corresponding delivery line 26a and 26b by responding to the two motors 20a, 20b.
  • the specified delivery rate is delivered in terms of volume to the corresponding target device 11a or 11b.
  • only a single pump 23c can be provided in the area of the intermediate line 35 in a further exemplary embodiment.
  • control unit 21 can contain an integrated or separate device 36 for collision prevention, which ensures, for example, that if a metering process has started, this is first completed before a second metering process, requested at the same time while the first metering process is being carried out, starts is taken and edited.
  • an importance scale can be introduced - and used when processing dosing processes - that takes into account, for example, that certain target devices should or may not pause indefinitely, at least at certain times during certain washing or cleaning processes.
  • dosing processes could under certain circumstances be brought forward, this also including the possibility that already started dosing processes are aborted and paused in order to be continued later after a second dosing process has been carried out.
  • the dosing device 10b or the in the control unit 21 integrated device 36 for collision prevention ensure that the target device that has lower priority, for example, has to wait a little, is informed that the dosing process can or will start later, for example a few minutes later .
  • the control unit 21 or the communication interface 22 can transmit a corresponding collision signal via the respective connecting line 25a, 25b to the respective control device 29a, 29b, or to the respective target device-side communication interface 30a, 30b of the target device 11a, 11b.
  • the corresponding target device 11a, 11b After receiving corresponding collision information, the corresponding target device 11a, 11b can adjust to this, and the control device 29a, 29b connected to the corresponding target device 11a, 11b can initiate a corresponding measure on the corresponding target device 11a, 11b if necessary.
  • the mixing distributor device designated there by 34a in the im Fig. 2 is designed such that when a communication path is provided between the input connection 15d of the input disk 17b and one of the output connections 16a, 16b, 16c of the output disk 18b, for example the output connection 16a, the other output connections 16b, 16c are blocked.
  • the second mixing manifold device 34a is designed in such a way that the output connections (for example 16b, 16c) that are not connected to the input connection 15d are not blocked, but rather after the associated flushing Fluid delivery line 26b, 26c remain open.
  • the output connections for example 16b, 16c
  • a first mixing distributor device 34a has an input disk 17a and an output disk 18a.
  • the input disk 17a has - for the sake of simplicity - only one input connection 15a
  • the output disk 18a has - likewise for the sake of simplicity - only two output connections 16a, 16b.
  • the output connection 16a is connected to a second mixed distributor device 34b via a first intermediate line 35a and the second connection 16b is connected to a third mixed distributor device 34c via a second intermediate line 35b.
  • the second mixing distributor device 34b likewise has an input disk 17b and an output disk 18b, which are rotatable relative to one another about an axis of rotation 19b.
  • the third mixing distributor device 34c has a first input disk 17c and a second output disk 18c, which are rotatable relative to one another about an axis of rotation 19c.
  • Each of the two output disks 18b, 18c has three output connections 16c, 16d, 16e or 16f, 16g, 16h.
  • the metering device 10c Fig. 3 there is the possibility of a plurality of, in the present exemplary embodiment of, the metering device 10c Fig. 3 to connect a total of six target devices.
  • the metering device 10c Fig. 3 For the sake of clarity, in Fig. 3 but only two target devices 11a and 11f are shown.
  • the dosing device 10c can also control or prevent a collision of simultaneous dosing requests from different target devices 11a, 11f via the communication interface 22 by means of the collision avoidance device 36 integrated in the control unit 21.
  • Fig. 3 shows a cascade of mixing distribution devices 34a, 34b, 34c with the result that a large number of target devices 11a, 11b can be charged with one medium or with different media by means of a single metering device 10c.
  • Fig. 3 also includes those variants in which a multiplicity of containers, in particular a multiplicity of different media, are connected to the metering device 10.
  • the device 36 for preventing collisions can be an integral part of the corresponding control unit 21 on the metering device 10, or can also be designed separately from it.
  • the device 36 for preventing collisions can be formed by a microprocessor, or it can be a component of the control unit 21 of the metering device 10, 10a, 10b, 10c.
