AutomationDirect: WAGO Base Series Single-Phase Power Supplies

ifm efector, inc. recently introduced its new MVQ301 process valve positioner. The positioner is the third-installation in ifm’s MVQ series of pneumatic quarter-turn valve sensors. Supported by IO-Link, the MVQ301 is a valve positioner that also functions as a valve sensor, providing accurate feedback while positioning the solenoid valve to an exact degree. The new sensor features a standard M12 connection and 5-pin cable for both feedback and control, and is equipped with self-learning algorithms embedded into the sensor ensuring precise valve positioning; continuous learning allows the smart sensor to study the valve it controls, and improve its control performance each time the valve moves.
