Clearly visible position
indicators:
LEDs indicate current position
and switching status as well as
markings located on the target
puck.
Robust housing:
IND type sensors incorporate two
distinct inductive elements in a
housing sealed to IP 67. The
tough housing will also with-
stand impacts allowing their use
in any application.
Compatible with
VDI / VDE 3845:
All IND sensors are compatible
with VDI / VDE 3845 guidelines
meaning they are simple to fit
to nearly any actuator.
Connection opportunities:
Versions with integrated AS-i
chips allow simple addition to
AS-i networks, M12 cabled
versions and units with a
terminal chamber mean that
ifm’s INDs are the simplest
choice for valve control.
Dual sensor IND type
Unit with terminal chamber:
Two captive screws above the cable
gland enable easy opening and closing
of the terminal chamber.
The wiring can be maintained if the
sensor is replaced, thanks to the
removable terminal block.
As an option, a solenoid valve can be
triggered.
IND units combine
two distinct induc-
tive proximity sen-
sors in a single,
double insulated, IP
67 housing. One
sensor provides a si-
gnal when the valve
is open, the other
when it is closed.
The units are invalu-
able for confirming
that power-opera-
ted
5. 5
and manual valves
are in the appro-
priate position for
correct and safe
operation in all
types of process
plant.
VDI / VDE 3845 is a
guideline which de-
fines, amongst other
things, the mechani-
cal mount-
ing arrangements
for fitting switch
boxes to actuators.
The IND units have
been specifically de-
signed to conform
to and take advan-
tage of this guide-
line, allow-
ing them to be
fitted to the major-
ity of actuators with
the minimum of ef-
fort.

By using state-of-the-art production
technologies it has become possible to
incorporate the latest AS-i technology
with sensors and switching outputs in
a space-saving housing.
All these features facilitate mounting,
set-up and maintenance for the user
and increase uptime of the whole
AS-Interface system.
Namur IND units used with quarter-
turn valves installed on an oil tanker.
Sensors with ATEX Cat. 1D/1G/2G were
chosen because of the installation
inside an explosive area.
Many accessories are available including target
pucks for most valve actuators. The selector
facilitates the selection of pucks for different
quarter-turn actuators.

AS-i integrated:
AS-Interface from ifm is the ideal
way to communicate feedback
from multiple valves and is incor-
porated, as standard, in the
efector valvis.
Freely programmable:
With 3 switching outputs, the
efector valvis gives reliable
indication of the valve piston’s
position: open, closed or seat lift.
Simple set up:
Uncomplicated programming by
pushing a button replaces
mechanical adjustment to the
respective valve positions.
Adapters:
Rising stem valves differ of
course, so a range of adapters for
many valve types, for example
Alfa Laval, Südmo, GEMÜ and
Georg Fischer, are available.
Requirement:
Everywhere in the
food industry
valves are used for
shutting off, moni-
toring and control-
ling. They are deci-
sive components for
the safety, accuracy
and reliabil-
ity of plants.
Implementation:
Conventionally, ma-
gnetic or induc- tive
proximity
switches assume this
task. They
signal end stops
such as ”open” or
”closed” to the con-
troller by means of a
switch-ed signal.
Feedback system
efector valvis IX type
Easy position setup due to freely
programmable switching outputs.
They transmit the actual limits of
travel to the controller.

However, the detec-
tion of intermediate
positions is of in-
creasing inter- est. It
allows the detection
of cleaning cycles
for rising stem val-
ves as well as the
visualisation of unin-
tended operat-
ing states by means
of contin-
uous valve detec-
tion. This is the only
way to meet the
growing
requirements of mo-
dern process
visualisation.
Product information efector valvis
www.ifm.com/gb/valvis
Continuous position feedback on single,
double seat and diaphragm valves.
With thanks to different adapters,
efector valvis can be mounted on
various valve types. In this case it is
installed on an ON-OFF diaphragm
valve. I.e. two switching points have
to be set up. By missing the “Seat”
position out, the sensor realises that
only two switching points are needed.
efector valvis was designed for
feedback of the valve positions on
rising stem valves with a stroke of up
to 80 mm. The sensor is fitted over
the valve spindle and continuously
measures the stroke. This shows an
installation on double seat valves, all
three switching points are used.

9. Robust:
Tried and tested for extreme
requirements in hygienic and
wet areas such as permanently
high temperatures, temperature
shocks or aggressive cleaning
agents.
Food-grade:
Housing materials such as
stainless steel in combination
with PEEK or pure stainless
steel sensors.
Flexible:
Common housing types and
lengths for installation in differ-
ent applications. Increased
sensing ranges ensure flexible
installation for mechanical
tolerances.
Ingress-resistant:
The ingress resistance to
protection rating IP 69K prevents
moisture penetration.
Safe connection:
ecolink EVT – the ideal connector
for hygienic and wet areas:
PVC cables and housings plus
stainless steel coupling nuts
provide protection to IP 69K.
Inductive sensors
IF, IG, II and IS type
Position feedback on
rising stem valves or
inside switchboxes.
The sensors undergo a hard test pro-
gram of temperature cycle, steam
boiler, vibration, shock and temperature
This procedure guarantees the highest
operational reliability for any
conditons in the food industry.
The common valve boxes can be used
with the square-shaped sensors of
type IS.
Customer-specific versions such
as platinum connectors facilitate
installation.
