No detours: Valve sensor directly connected to control valve
* Less networking complexity due to direct control of the control valve
* Self-diagnostics regarding wear, blockages or deposits, for maintenance tailored to your needs

Improved performance thanks to IO-Link

* LED flash mode for quick visual sensor localisation
* End position setting with just one click for even quicker set-up

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 signalled 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.
