MVQ sensors
	Interface	Output function	Elecrical design	Points to consider
MVQ101	IO-Link	3x normally open/normally closed (selectable)	PNP	1x M12 connectors Provide continuous feedback for valve position 1 digital output can be used for system warning
MVQ201	IO-Link	2x normally open/normally closed (selectable) 1x digital input for solenoid control	PNP	2x M12 connectors Provide continuous feedback of valve position and control solenoid valve directly Reduce wiring Able to control mono-stable and bi-stable solenoid valves Automatic and PLC teach-in modes available Flashes on demand for easy recognition

Other valve sensors available

ifm’s MVQ101 and MVQ201 offer valve position feedback, with the MVQ201 capable of controlling the opening and closing of solenoid valves.

ifm's MVQ301 provides precise valve position feedback and real-time positioning to a specific degree. Unlike the MVQ201, which only opens or closes the valve, the MVQ301 can precisely adjust the valve to any position along its range from 0 to 100%.
