Enhanced Valve Status Monitors

July 3, 2009
The Series 52 2N1 ProxSensor line of valve status monitors has been expanded to include AS-i, DeviceNet and Profibus DP bus network units with a solenoid drive, plus new features have been added to the entire line.
The 2N1 ProxSensors combine two proximity sensors in one compact, self-contained and fully sealed enclosure. These monitors are designed to deliver rapid, bounce-free electronic valve signaling required for PLC, computer and solid-state circuitry used in process control and information networks. In addition to factory pre-aligned Standard Targets, the line now offers Adjustable Targets. These allow customers to individually set both valve position signals at incremental angles before or on the fully open and fully closed positions. The local LED indicators on many units were also increased to not only verify that the sensors are electrically functioning and that the target position has been reached, but also to indicate power/network status. Another added feature is an optional Valve Position Display. Double the height of the standard position pointer, the high visibility display is prominently labeled and color coded: yellow for open, black for closed. Bray Controlswww.bray.com281.894.5454
