Other valve sensors available

ifm's MVQ301 provides precise valve position feedback and real-time positioning to a specific degree.

ifm’s MVQ101 and MVQ201 also offer valve position feedback, with the MVQ201 capable of controlling the opening and closing of solenoid valves. The main difference is that the MVQ301 can set the valve to a specific position, while the MVQ201 can only open or close the valve.
