Claim 4:
5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the filling system has at least one third filling point, wherein the third filling point has at least one third filling valve, at least one third flow or fill level sensor, and at least one third control and evaluation unit for controlling and monitoring the filling process of the third filling point, wherein a valve curve of the third filling valve is stored in the third control and evaluation unit, and wherein the third control and evaluation unit is connected via a communication channel at least to the second control and evaluation unit;
wherein, in the diagnostic mode of the first filling point, the second control and evaluation unit compares a currently measured flow or fill level value with the flow or fill level value expected on the basis of the valve curve stored in the second control and evaluation unit;
wherein the third control and evaluation unit compares a currently measured flow or fill level value with the flow or fill level value expected on the basis of the valve curve stored in the third control and evaluation unit;
wherein, in the event of a deviation of the current flow or fill level values from the flow or fill level values expected on the basis of the valve curves, the second control and evaluation unit and the third control and evaluation unit determine and compare with one another the degree and/or the direction of the deviations and, in the event of a similar deviation, the second control and evaluation unit and/or the third control and evaluation unit transmit or communicate the degree and/or the direction of the deviation to the first control and evaluation unit; and
wherein the first control and evaluation unit corrects the valve curve of the first filling valve by the measure and/or the direction of the deviation and the first control and evaluation unit outputs a corrected substitute flow rate or substitute filling level value determined with the corrected valve curve.
