ifm efector: New MVQ301 Positioner for Industrial Valves

MVQ301

November 5, 2024

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.

In industries where precise fluid flow control is essential, such as chemical processing, food and beverage, and water treatment, valve positioners ensure that valves operate accurately and reliably, contributing to process efficiency, safety, and product quality. Additionally, customers can expect enhanced visibility, with IO-link providing detailed diagnostic information of the sensor, allowing users to monitor valve movement and valve health.

“The MVQ301 is the first positioner we have ever had and completes the quarter-turn product line,” says Dan Dan Sun, Product Manager at ifm USA. “We’re thrilled to finally offer a complete solution, a one-stop shop for valves.”

Customers can look forward to an easy integration process with a set up time of ten minutes to mount, install, and configure the smart sensor with the automatic teach-in function, reducing costs and eliminating the need for a highly skilled electrician for wiring and commissioning.

The MVQ301 is the key component of a multi-part design, making it easy to replace individual components if one piece fails or is damaged. Customers will need to purchase the MVQ positioner kit of their choice for their custom application. The valve positioner is available for purchase by contacting sales.
