No detours – Valve sensor directly connected to control valve with IO-Link

Direct connection reduces wiring

The MVQ201 continuously monitors the position of the valve to the nearest degree. Via the “Auto teach“ function, the end positions are automatically approached and taught. The control valve can be easily connected via the separate M12 connection and be controlled via IO-Link. This reduces wiring and installation complexity – reducing possible sources of error.

User-friendly status query, maintenance information in good time

The defined valve positions are signaled via two switching outputs as well as via the clearly visible status LED. The sensor also detects altered closing durations, which suggest wear, deposits or blockages due to foreign bodies, and signals them via IO-Link. This allows for demand-oriented maintenance planning or immediate troubleshooting, which help avoid longer and costly plant downtimes. To simplify localisation, the selected device flashes green in flash mode.
