A connector apparatus for controlling fluid dispensing/transmission that includes
a control component for communication between couplers thereof. A first coupler
has a transmitter, and is releasably connected with a mating reader coupler that
has a transmitter and fluid control device to exchange information with the transmitter
of the first coupler. The transmitters communicate and are operated by wireless
means such as by RF devices. Upon confirming that the first coupler is properly
coupled to the mating coupler and that the first coupler has a proper identification,
the fluid control device controls fluid flow, using the transmitters of the first
coupler and the mating reader coupler, under predetermined parameters, e.g., pressure,
temperature, duration, and flow rate, as indicated in the first coupler.
