Valve position

Sensor family	Valve type	Capabilities	Points to consider
Continuous position quarter-turn	• Butterfly • Ball	Continuous position to 0.1° accuracy	• IO-Link delivers real-time position of the valve • Three outputs for detecting valve seal wear or obstructions • No external puck required
Quarter-turn	• Butterfly • Ball	Open/Close feedback	• Target puck required to be mounted to the valve stem • DC Power
AC quarter-turn	• Butterfly • Ball	Open/Close feedback	• Target puck required to be mounted to the valve stem • AC Power
Quarter-turn with local solenoid switching	• Butterfly • Ball	Open/Close feedback plus ability to switch a solenoid	• Ability to provide power to switch a solenoid mounted on the valve actuator • Standard M12 connection for commonly used cables
AS-I quarter-turn	• Butterfly • Ball	Open/Close feedback with connectionto AS-i	• Includes benefits of AS-Iinstallation ease of use • Local solenoid switching
Rising stem	• Gate • Knife	Open/Close/Seat feedback	3 outputs including “seat” position for pipe cleaning processes
Mounting sets for manual valves	Manual quarter-turn	Mounting hardware to connect to amanual valve	Hardware only to mountquarter turn sensors
Quarter-turn hazardous applications	• Butterfly • Ball	Open/Close feedback in hazardous areas	• Instrinsically-safe and ATEX applications • Separate amplifier required
