The FIELDVUE DVC6200 SIS Digital Valve Controller is a core component of the PlantWeb digital
plant architecture. The digital valve controller powers PlantWeb by capturing and delivering valve
diagnostic data. Coupled with ValveLink software, the DVC6200 SIS provides users with an accurate
picture of valve performance, including actual stem position, instrument input signal, and pneumatic
pressure to the actuator. Using this information, the digital valve controller diagnoses not only itself,
but also the valve and actuator to which it is mounted.

Description
DVC6200 SIS digital valve controllers (figure 11) are HART communicating, microprocessorbased
currenttopneumatic instruments. The DVC6200 SIS digital valve controller has three fundamental functions.
1. Modulate a pneumatic output to a valve actuator in response to a demand signal from a logic solver to move the
valve to a safe state.
2. Perform periodic tests on a valve assembly to exercise the mechanical components that are prone to sticking.
3. Continuously monitor the health of the valve and report alerts.

Logic Solver or Control System Requirements
There are several parameters that should be checked to ensure the logic solver or control system is compatible with
the DVC6200 SIS digital valve controller.
HART Filter / Line Conditioner

Depending on the logic solver or control system and operational mode of the DVC6200 SIS digital valve controller, a
line conditioner or HART filter may be required.

Multi-Drop Loop
The HF340 HART filter and LC340 Line Conditioner are passive devices that are inserted in the field wiring of the HART
loop. A filter or line conditioner is normally installed near the field wiring terminals of the system I/O (see figure 21).
Its purpose is to effectively isolate the system output from modulated HART communication signals and raise the
impedance of the system to allow HART communication. For more information, refer to the HF340 HART filter
(D102796X012) or LC340 Line Conditioner (D102797X012) instruction manual.
Voltage Available
The voltage available at the DVC6200 SIS digital valve controller must be at least 10 VDC. The voltage available at the
instrument is not the actual voltage measured at the instrument when the instrument is connected. The voltage
measured at the instrument is limited by the instrument and is typically less than the voltage available.
As shown in figure 21, the voltage available at the instrument depends upon:
DThe logic solver or control system compliance voltage
Dif a line conditioner filter or intrinsic safety barrier is used, and
Dthe wire type and length.
The compliance voltage is the maximum voltage at the logic solver or control system output terminals at which the
system can produce maximum loop current.
The voltage available at the instrument may be calculated from the following equation:
Voltage Available = [Compliance Voltage (at maximum current)] - [line conditioner/filter voltage drop] - [total cable
resistance maximum current] - [barrier resistance x maximum current].
The calculated voltage available should be greater than or equal to 10 volts DC.

The voltage available at the instrument is not the voltage measured at the instrument terminals. Once the instrument is
connected, the instrument limits the measured voltage to approximately 8.0 to 9.5 volts.
Compliance Voltage
If the compliance voltage of the logic solver or control system is not known, perform the following compliance voltage
test.
1. Disconnect the field wiring from the system and connect equipment as shown in figure 22 to the system terminals.

2. Set the system to provide maximum output current.

3. Increase the resistance of the 1 kW potentiometer, shown in figure 22, until the current observed on the
milliammeter begins to drop quickly.
4. Record the voltage shown on the voltmeter. This is the compliance voltage.
For specific parameter information relating to your control system, contact your Emerson Process Management sales
office.
Maximum Cable Capacitance

The maximum cable length for HART communication is limited by the characteristic capacitance of the cable.
Maximum length due to capacitance can be calculated using the following formulas:
Length(ft) = [160,000 - Cmaster(pF)] [Ccable(pF/ft)]
Length(m) = [160,000 - Cmaster(pF)] [Ccable(pF/m)]
where:
160,000 = a constant derived for FIELDVUE instruments to ensure that the HART network RC time constant will be no
greater than 65 s (per the HART specification).
Cmaster = the capacitance of the control system or HART filter
Ccable = the capacitance of the cable used (see table 21)
The following example shows how to calculate the cable length for a Foxborot I/A control system (1988) with a Cmaster
of 50, 000 pF and a Belden 9501 cable with characteristic capacitance of 50pF/ft.
Length(ft) = [160,000 - 50,000pF] [50pF/ft]
Length = 2200 ft.
The HART communication cable length is limited by the cable characteristic capacitance. To increase cable length,
select a wire with lower capacitance per foot. Contact your Emerson Process Management sales office for specific
information relating to your control system.

Auxiliary Terminal Wiring Length Guidelines

The Auxiliary Input Terminals of a DVC6200 SIS can be used with an LCP100 local control panel or a locallymounted
switch for initiating a partial stroke test. Some applications require that the switch or local control panel be installed
remotely from the DVC6200 SIS.
The length for wiring connected to the Auxiliary Input Terminals is limited by capacitance. For proper operation of the
Auxiliary Input Terminals capacitance should not exceed 100,000 pF. As with all control signal wiring, good wiring
practices should be observed to minimize adverse effect of electrical noise on the Aux Switch function.
Example Calculation: Capacitance per foot or per meter is required to calculate the length of wire that may be
connected to the Aux switch input. The wire should not exceed the capacitance limit of 100,000 pF. Typically the wire
manufacturer supplies a data sheet which provides all of the electrical properties of the wire. The pertinent parameter
is the highest possible capacitance. If shielded wire is used, the appropriate number is the Conductor to Other
Conductor & Shield value.
Example 18AWG Unshielded Audio, Control and Instrumentation Cable
Manufacturer's specifications include:
Nom. Capacitance Conductor to Conductor @ 1 KHz: 26 pF/ft
Nom. Conductor DC Resistance @ 20 Deg. C: 5.96 Ohms/1000 ft
Max. Operating Voltage - UL 200 V RMS (PLTC, CMG),150 V RMS (ITC)
Allowable Length with this cable = 100,000pF /(26pF/ft) =3846 ft
Example 18AWG Shielded Audio, Control and Instrumentation Cable
Manufacturer's specifications include:
Nom. Characteristic Impedance: 29 Ohms
Nom. Inductance: .15 H/ft
Nom. Capacitance Conductor to Conductor @ 1 KHz: 51 pF/ft
Nom. Cap. Cond. to other Cond. & Shield @ 1 KHz 97 pF/ft
Allowable Length with this cable = 100,000pF /(97pF/ft) = 1030 ft
The AUX switch input passes less than 1 mA through the switch contacts, and uses less than 5 V, therefore, neither the
resistance nor the voltage rating of the cable are critical. Ensure that switch contact corrosion is prevented. It is
generally advisable that the switch have goldplated or sealed contacts.

LCP100 Local Control Panel

Installation
The Fisher LCP100 Local Control Panel has four (4) mounting holes for onsite mounting of the device. The LCP100
must be installed so that the wiring connections are on the bottom to prevent accumulation of moisture inside the
box.
Electrical Connections
WARNING
Select wiring and/or cable glands that are rated for the environment of use (such as hazardous location, ingress protection,
and temperature). Failure to use properly rated wiring and/or cable glands can result in personal injury or property damage
from fire or explosion.
Wiring connections must be in accordance with local, regional, and national codes for any given hazardous area approval.
Failure to follow the local, regional, and national codes could result in personal injury or property damage from fire or
explosion.
Electrical connections are shown in figures 23, 24, and 25. There are two different methods to power the LCP100.
Method one requires an external 24 VDC source to power the LCP100. Method two uses loop power wiring in series.
In method one, shown in figure 23, signal wiring is brought to the enclosure through a 3/4 NPT or M20 housing
conduit connection (connection type is identified on nameplate.
Method two can be accomplished in two ways; with the wiring going first to the LCP100, then to the DVC6200 SIS, as
shown in in figure 24, or with the wiring going first to the DVC6200 SIS, then to the LCP100, as shown in figure 25.
However, because the LCP100 does consume energy to drive the push buttons and lights, the minimum current signal
from the logic solver must be 8 mA. If the logic solver cannot provide an output range of 820 mA, then method one
must be used.
When connections are complete move the DIP switch to the appropriate power setting. If external 24 VDC is used to
power the LCP100, make sure the switch is on the side that says 24VDC. If loop power is used, slide the switch to the
side that says LOOP.
Note
Factory default for the DIP switch power selector is 24VDC.
When installing the cover tighten the screws evenly in a crisscross pattern to help ensure the cover is properly
installed.

Mode and Protection

Field Communicator
Configure > Manual Setup > Mode and Protection (221)
Instrument Mode
There are two instrument modes for the DVC6200 SIS; In Service or Out of Service. In Service is the normal operating
mode such that the instrument follows the 420 mA or 24 VDC control signal. Out of Service is required in some cases
to modify configuration parameters or to run diagnostics.
Note
Some changes that require the instrument to be taken Out Of Service will not take effect until the instrument is placed back In
Service or the instrument is restarted.
Write Protection
There are two Write Protection modes for the DVC6200 SIS: Not Protected or Protected. Protected prevents
configuration and calibration changes to the instrument. The default setting is Not Protected. Write Protection can be
changed to Protected remotely. However, to change Write Protection to Not Protected, you must have physical access
to the instrument. The procedure will require you to press a button ( ) on the terminal box as a security measure.
Instrument
Field Communicator
Configure > Manual Setup > Instrument (222)
Follow the prompts on the Field Communicator display to configure the following Instrument parameters:
Identification
DHART TagA tag name up to 8 characters is available for the instrument. The HART tag is the easiest way to
distinguish between instruments in a multiinstrument environment. Use the HART tag to label instruments
electronically according to the requirements of your application. The tag you assign is automatically displayed
when the Field Communicator establishes contact with the digital valve controller at powerup.
DHART Long Tag (HART Universal Revision 7 only)A tag name up to 32 characters is available for the instrument.
DDescriptionEnter a description for the application with up to 16 characters. The description provides a longer
userdefined electronic label to assist with more specific instrument identification than is available with the HART
tag.
DMessageEnter any message with up to 32 characters. Message provides the most specific userdefined means for
identifying individual instruments in multiinstrument environments.
DPolling AddressIf the digital valve controller is used in pointtopoint operation, the Polling Address is 0. When
several devices are connected in the same loop, such as for split ranging, each device must be assigned a unique
polling address. The Polling Address is set to a value between 0 and 63 for HART 7 and 0 and 15 for HART 5. To
change the polling address the instrument must be Out Of Service.
19
Configuration
Instruction Manual
January 2014
D103557X012
For the Field Communicator to be able to communicate with a device whose polling address is not 0, it must be
configured to automatically search for all or specific connected devices.
Serial Numbers
DInstrument Serial NumberEnter the serial number on the instrument nameplate, up to 12 characters.
DValve Serial NumberEnter the serial number for the valve in the application with up to 12 characters.
Units
DPressure UnitsDefines the output and supply pressure units in either psi, bar, kPa, or kg/cm2.
DTemperature UnitsDegrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. The temperature measured is from a sensor mounted on the
digital valve controller's printed wiring board.
DAnalog Input UnitsPermits defining the Analog Input Units in mA or percent of 4-20 mA range.
Terminal Box
DCalibration (CAL) ButtonThis button is near the wiring terminals in the terminal box and provides a quick means to
autocalibrate the instrument. The button must be pressed for 3 to 10 seconds. Autocalibration will move the valve
through the full range of travel whether the Instrument Mode is In Service or Out of Service. However, if the Write
Protection is Protected, this button will not be active. To abort, press the button again for 1 second. The calibration
button is disabled by default.
DAuxiliary Terminal ActionThese wire terminals can be configured to initiate a partial stroke test upon detection of
a short across the (+) and (-) terminals. The terminals must be shorted for 3 to 10 seconds. Alternatively, the
auxiliary terminals can be configured to support the local control panel.

Travel/Pressure Control
Field Communicator
Configure > Manual Setup > Travel/Pressure Control (22-3)
End Point Pressure Control (EPPC)

DEPPC EnableSelect Yes or No. End Point Pressure Control allows the digital valve controller to pull back from
saturation of the pneumatic output after reaching the travel extreme. Rather than having the instrument provide
full supply pressure (saturation) continuously at the travel extreme, the digital valve controller switches to an End
Point Pressure Control where the output pressure (pressure controller set point) to the actuator is maintained at a
certain value. This value is configured through the Upper Operating Pressure feature. Because the digital valve
controller is constantly in control and not allowed to reach a dormant or saturated state, it is constantly testing its
own pneumatic system. If there is an output pressure deviation, for example, the instrument will issue an alert. To
ensure there is an alert when an output pressure deviation occurs, setup the alert as described under Pressure
Deviation Alert.
DEPPC Set PointUsed in conjunction with End Point Pressure Control, End Point Pressure Control Set Point allows
the user to select a pressure to be delivered by the instrument at the travel extreme. For a failclosed valve, this
pressure must be sufficient to maintain the fully open position. For a failopen valve, this pressure (which is
automatically set to supply pressure) must be sufficient to fully close the valve and maintain its rated shutoff
classification. For doubleacting spring return actuators, this is the differential pressure required to either maintain
the fully open or fully closed position, depending on the valve and actuator configuration. For a doubleacting
actuator without springs with a failclose valve, this is 95% of the supply pressure. If the valve is failopen, the upper
operating pressure for all actuator is set to the supply pressure.
DEPPC Saturation TimeEnd Point Pressure Control Saturation Time is the time the digital valve controller stays in
hard cutoff before switching to pressure control. Default is 45 seconds.
Characterization
DInput Characterization
Input Characterization defines the relationship between the travel target and ranged set point. Ranged set point is the
input to the characterization function. If the zero power condition equals closed, then a set point of 0% corresponds to
a ranged input of 0%. If the zero power condition equals open, a set point of 0% corresponds to a ranged input of 100%.
Travel target is the output from the characterization function.
To select an input characterization, select Input Characterization from the Characterization menu. You can select from
the three fixed input characteristics shown in figure 31 or you can select a custom characteristic. Figure 31 shows the
relationship between the travel target and ranged set point for the fixed input characteristics, assuming the Zero
Power Condition is configured as closed.
You can specify 21 points on a custom characteristic curve. Each point defines a travel target, in % of ranged travel, for
a corresponding set point, in % of ranged set point. Set point values range from -6.25% to 106.25%. Before
modification, the custom characteristic is linear.
DCustom Characterization
To define a custom input character, from the Characterization menu select Custom Characterization. Select the point
you wish to define (1 to 21), then enter the desired set point value. Press Enter then enter the desired travel target for
the corresponding set point. When finished, select point 0 to return to the Characterization menu.
With input characterization you can modify the overall characteristic of the valve and instrument combination.
Selecting an equal percentage, quick opening, or custom (other than the default of linear) input characteristic

modifies the overall valve and instrument characteristic. However, if you select the linear input characteristic, the
overall valve and instrument characteristic is the characteristic of the valve, which is determined by the valve trim (i.e.,
the plug or cage).

Dynamic Response
DSP Rate OpenMaximum rate (% of valve travel per second) at which the digital valve controller will move to the
open position regardless of the rate of input current change. A value of 0 will deactivate this feature and allow the
valve to stroke open as fast as possible. In firmware 4 this parameter should be set to 0.
DSP Rate CloseMaximum rate (% of valve travel per second) at which the digital valve controller will move to the
close position regardless of the rate of input current change. A value of 0 will deactivate this feature and allow the
valve to stroke close as fast as possible. In firmware 4 this parameter should be set to 0.
DSet Point Filter Time (Lag Time)The Set Point Filter Time (Lag Time) slows the response of the digital valve
controller. A value ranging from 0.2 to 10.0 can be used for noisy or fast processes to improve closed loop process
control. Entering a value of 0.0 will deactivate the lag filter. In firmware 4 this parameter should be set to 0.
Travel Cutoffs
DHi Cutoff PointThis is the point within the calibrated travel range above which the cutoff is in effect. When using
cutoffs, a Cutoff Hi of 50% is recommended to ensure valve goes fully open.
DLo Cutoff PointThis is the point within the calibrated travel range below which the cutoff is in effect. When using
cutoffs, a Cutoff Lo of 50% is recommended to help ensure maximum shutoff seat loading.

Travel Tuning
WARNING
Changes to the tuning set may cause the valve/actuator assembly to stroke. To avoid personal injury and property damage
caused by moving parts, keep hands, tools, and other objects away from the valve/actuator assembly.
DTravel Tuning Set

There are eleven tuning sets to choose from. Each tuning set provides a preselected value for the digital valve
controller gain settings. Tuning set C provides the slowest response and M provides the fastest response.
Table 34 lists the proportional gain, velocity gain and minor loop feedback gain values for preselected tuning sets.

In addition, you can specify Expert tuning and individually set the proportional gain, velocity gain, and minor loop
feedback gain. Individually setting or changing any tuning parameter or running the Performance Tuner or
Stabilize/Optimize routine will automatically change the tuning set to X (expert).
Note
Use Expert tuning only if standard tuning has not achieved the desired results.
Stabilize/Optimize or Performance Tuner may be used to achieve the desired results more rapidly than manual Expert tuning.
Table 35 provides tuning set selection guidelines for Fisher and Baumann actuators. These tuning sets are only
recommended starting points. After you finish setting up and calibrating the instrument, you may have to select either
a higher or lower tuning set to get the desired response. You can use the Performance Tuner to optimize tuning.
DProportional Gainthe proportional gain for the travel control tuning set. Changing this parameter will also change
the tuning set to Expert.
DVelocity Gainthe velocity gain for the travel control tuning set. Changing this parameter will also change the
tuning set to Expert.
DMLFB Gainthe minor loop feedback gain for the travel control tuning set. Changing this parameter will also change
the tuning set to Expert.
DIntegral EnableYes or No. Enable the integral setting to improve static performance by correcting for error that
exists between the travel target and actual travel. Travel Integral Control is enabled by default.
DIntegral GainTravel Integral Gain is the ratio of the change in output to the change in input, based on the control
action in which the output is proportional to the time integral of the input.
DPerformance Tuner
WARNING
During performance tuning the valve may move, causing process fluid or pressure to be released. To avoid personal injury
and property damage caused by the release of process fluid or pressure, isolate the valve from the process and equalize
pressure on both sides of the valve or bleed off the process fluid.
The Performance Tuner is used to determine digital valve controller tuning. It can be used with digital valve controllers
mounted on most slidingstem and rotary actuators, including Fisher and other manufacturers' products. Moreover,
because the performance tuner can detect internal instabilities before they become apparent in the travel response, it
can generally optimize tuning more effectively than manual tuning. Typically, the performance tuner takes 3 to 5
minutes to tune an instrument, although tuning instruments mounted on larger actuators may take longer.

DStabilize/Optimize
WARNING
During Stabilize/Optimize the valve may move, causing process fluid or pressure to be released. To avoid personal injury
and property damage caused by the release of process fluid or pressure, isolate the valve from the process and equalize
pressure on both sides of the valve or bleed off the process fluid.
Stabilize/Optimize permits you to adjust valve response by changing the digital valve controller tuning. During this
routine, the instrument must be out of service; however, the instrument will respond to setpoint changes.
If the valve is unstable, select Decrease Response to stabilize valve operation. This selects the next lower tuning set
(e.g., F to E). If the valve response is sluggish, select Increase Response to make the valve more responsive. This selects
the next higher tuning set (e.g., F to G).
If after selecting Decrease Response or Increase Response the valve travel overshoot is excessive, select Decrease
Damping to select a damping value that allows more overshoot. Select Increase Damping to select a damping value that
will decrease the overshoot. When finished, select done.

Note
As a general rule, do not use less than 60% of the magnet assembly travel range for full travel measurement. Performance will
decrease as the assembly is increasingly subranged.
The linear magnet assemblies have a valid travel range indicated by arrows molded into the piece. This means that the hall sensor
(on the back of the DVC6200 SIS housing) has to remain within this range throughout the entire valve travel. The linear magnet
assemblies are symmetrical. Either end may be up.

Note
Travel Sensor Motion in this instance refers to the motion of the magnet assembly. Note that the magnet assembly may be
referred to as a magnetic array in user interface tools.
DFor instruments with Relay A and C: If increasing air pressure at output A causes the magnet assembly to move
down or the rotary shaft to turn clockwise, enter CW/To Bottom Inst. If it causes the magnet assembly to move up,
or the rotary shaft to turn counterclockwise, enter CCW/To Top Inst.
DFor instruments with Relay B: If decreasing air pressure at output B causes the magnet assembly to down, or the
rotary shaft to turn clockwise, enter CW/To Bottom Inst. If it causes the magnet assembly to move up, or the rotary

Partial Stroke Test (PST)

DPST Pressure Limit This defines the actuator pressure at which a partial stroke test will abort. This prevents the
DVC6200 SIS from exhausting (or building) excessive pressure to the actuator in an attempt to move a stuck valve.
During Device Setup or Auto Travel Calibration, the Partial Stroke Pressure Limit will be set automatically as follows:
Single Acting Actuators - For those actuators that exhaust pressure from the partial test start point, the Pressure
Limit will be a minimum value. For those actuators that build pressure from the partial test start point, the Pressure
Limit will be a maximum value.
Double Acting Actuators - The Pressure Limit will be set to a negative value for actuators where the partial stroke
start point is opposite of the Zero Power Condition (e.g., Partial Stroke Start Point = Open and Zero Power
Condition = Closed) and to a positive valve for actuators where the partial stroke start point is the same as the Zero
Power Condition.
The pressure signal used to determine this parameter depends on relay type and is summarized below.

DAuto Test IntervalThis is the interval of time (in days) between partial stroke tests that are automatically run by the
digital valve controller, subject to the device being powered up. A value of 0 disables this feature.
DLoopInitiated PSTWhen this feature is enabled, the digital valve controller will run a partial stroke test if the loop
current is set to within +/0.5% of the PST trip point. The loop current must remain at that point for the duration of
the test. To abort the test, the loop current must be returned to the normal or tripped current. This feature is
disabled by default. This feature is not available when a looppowered local control panel is installed.
PST Trip Point (ETT) - This is the point at which the loop current must be set to run a partial stroke test for
energizetotrip applications. This value is not configurable.
PST Trip Point (DETT) - This is the point at which the loop current must be set to run a partial stroke test for
deenergizetotrip applications. This value is not configurable.
DDevice Power Up ResetThis defines the power up behavior of the DVC6200 SIS. Auto Reset allows the valve to
track the command signal when power is applied to the device. Manual Reset will lock the device in its safety
position until the digital valve controller is reset.
If Manual Reset is selected, its state can be determined from the status monitor by monitoring the Locked In Safety
Position alert.
When Auxiliary Terminal Action is set to SIS Local Control Panel, Device Power Up is set to Manual Reset and cannot
be changed to Auto Reset.
The reset signal depends on how the AUX terminals are configured. If configured for SIS Local Control Panel, the
digital valve controller can be reset by pressing the button next to the green light on the LCP100. If configured as
Push Button Partial Stroke, the digital valve controller can be reset by shorting the AUX terminals for more than 3
seconds but less than 10 seconds. The device cannot be reset from the AUX terminals if they are configured
otherwise.

Burst Mode
Burst mode provides continuous communication from the digital valve controller. Burst mode applies only to the
transmission of burst mode data (HART Variable Assignments) and does not affect the way other data is accessed.
Burst mode is only available in devices configured as HART Universal Revision 5.
DBurst EnableThis turns on or off the burst mode.

Note
Access to information in the instrument is normally obtained through the poll/response of HART communication. The Field
Communicator or the control system may request any of the information that is normally available, even while the instrument is in
burst mode. Between each burst mode transmission sent by the instrument, a short pause allows the Field Communicator or
control system to initiate a request. The instrument receives the request, processes the response message, and then continues
bursting the burst mode data.
Burst mode will be automatically disabled during diagnostics tests such as Valve Signature.
Alert Setup
Field Communicator
Configure > Alert Setup (23)
An alert is a notification that the instrument has detected a problem. A shutdown is an action that the instrument
takes to drive the air output to the Zero Power Condition as per figure 32. Some alerts can be configured to shutdown
the instrument. Refer to table 39 for default alert and shutdown settings.
Alerts may be enabled or disabled with the instrument In Service, Out of Service, Protected, or Not Protected.
However, the instrument must be Not Protected to enable or disable a shutdown. Alerts are not processed when a
diagnostic is in progress.
If shutdown is enabled, and the alert is active, the instrument will latch in the shutdown state until power to the
instrument is cycled and the alert has cleared. While in the shutdown condition, HART communication will continue if
the instrument remains powered.

Section 4 Calibration 44
Calibration Overview
When a DVC6200 SIS digital valve controller is ordered as part of a control valve assembly, the factory mounts the
digital valve controller on the actuator and connects the necessary tubing, then sets up and calibrates the controller.
For digital valve controllers that are ordered separately, recalibration of the analog input or pressure sensors generally
is unnecessary. However, after mounting on an actuator, perform the initial setup then calibrate travel by selecting
Configure > Calibration > Travel Calibration > Auto Calibration. For more detailed calibration information, refer to the
following calibration procedures.

Note
The Instrument Mode must be Out Of Service and the Protection set to None before the instrument can be calibrated.
If you are operating in burst mode, we recommend that you disable burst before continuing with calibration. Once calibration is
complete, burst mode may then be turned back on.
WARNING
During calibration the valve will move full stroke. To avoid personal injury and property damage caused by the release of
pressure or process fluid, isolate the valve from the process and equalize pressure on both sides of the valve or bleed off the

Travel Calibration
If a doubleacting relay is used, you will be prompted to run the relay adjustment when auto or manual calibration is
selected. Select Yes to adjust the relay, select No to proceed with calibration. For additional information, refer to Relay
Adjustment on page 43.
Auto Calibration
1. The auto calibration procedure is automatic. It is completed when the Calibration menu appears.
During calibration, the instrument seeks the high and low end points and the minor loop feedback (MLFB) and output
bias. By searching for the end points, the instrument establishes the limits of physical travel, i.e. the actual travel 0 and
100% positions. This also determines how far the relay beam swings to calibrate the sensitivity of the MLFB sensor.
2. Place the instrument In Service and verify that the travel properly tracks the current source.
If the unit does not calibrate, refer to table 41 for error messages and possible remedies.
Table 41. Auto Calibrate Travel Error Messages

2. From the adjustment menu, select the direction and size of change required to set the travel at 0%.
Selecting large, medium, and small adjustments causes changes of approximately 10.0%, 1.0%, and 0.1%, respectively.
If another adjustment is required, repeat step 2. Otherwise, select Done and go to step 3.
3. From the adjustment menu, select the direction and size of change required to set the travel to 100%.
4. From the adjustment menu, select the direction and size of change required to set the travel at 0%.
8. Place the instrument In Service and verify that the travel properly tracks the current source.
Pushbutton Calibration
A pushbutton near the wiring terminals in the terminal box provides a quick means to autocalibrate the instrument.
The button must be pressed for 3 to 10 seconds. Autocalibration will move the valve through the full range of travel
whether the Instrument Mode is In Service or Out of Service. However, if the Write Protection is Protected, this button
will not be active. To abort, press the button again for 1 second. The calibration button is disabled by default. To
enable it, go to Manual Setup > Instrument > Calibration Button.
Note
The autocal pushbutton will not be active if the instrument is Locked in Safety.
This calibration procedure is recommended whenever the I/P converter or pneumatic relay is replaced. Do not use the
pushbutton calibration for initial calibration when mounting the instrument on an actuator, or if the printed wiring
board assembly was replaced.
If you suspect calibration has changed due to drift, first perform a Valve Signature diagnostic test using ValveLink
software to capture the asfound data for future root cause analysis.

CAUTION
If a Valve Stuck alert is active, there may be potential energy stored in the valve and actuator assembly. Sudden release of
this energy may cause the valve to suddenly open or close, resulting in equipment damage.
DValve StuckA partial stroke test has failed.

If the valve sticks while performing the partial stroke test, the digital valve controller will not fully exhaust or fill the
actuator pressure in its attempt to complete the partial stroke. Rather, the instrument will abort the test and this alert
will be active. It is recommended that the Travel Deviation alert also be enabled and configured. The Valve Stuck alert
will be active if either the Travel Deviation alert is active or if the actuator pressure reaches the Partial Stroke Pressure
Limit.
Travel History
DCycle Count High AlertThis alert is active if the Cycle Counter exceeds the Cycle Count Alert Point. The Cycle Count
records the number of times the travel changes direction when it is outside of the deadband. To clear the alert, set
the Cycle Counter to a value less than the alert point.
DTravel Accumulator High AlertThis alert is active if the Travel Accumulator exceeds the Travel Accumulator Alert
Point. The Travel Accumulator totalizes the travel of the valve when the deadband is exceeded. To clear the alert,
set the Travel Accumulator to a value less than the alert point.
Note
The Cycle Count / Travel Accumulator Deadband applies to both the Cycle Count High Alert and the Travel Accumulator High
Alert.
The deadband is the percent (%) of ranged travel around a travel reference point. The travel reference point gets
reestablished to the point of travel reversal that occurs outside of the deadband. The deadband must be exceeded
before a change in travel direction will be counted as a cycle and the accumulated travel (up to the point of travel
reversal) is added to the total accumulation. See figure 52.

Partial Stroke Test

WARNING
During the partial stroke test the valve will move. To avoid personal injury and property damage caused by the release of
pressure or process fluid, when used in an application where the valve is normally closed, provide some temporary means
of control for the process.
The Partial Stroke Test allows DVC6200 SIS digital valve controllers to perform a Valve Signature type of test while the
instrument is in service and operational. In some applications, it is important to be able to exercise and test the valve
to verify that it will operate when commanded. This feature allows the user to partially stroke the valve while
continually monitoring the input signal. If a demand arises, the test is aborted and the valve moves to its commanded
position. The partial stroke valve travel is configurable between 1 and 30% maximum travel, in 0.1% increments. Data
from the last partial stroke test is stored in the instrument memory for retrieval by ValveLink software.
The Partial Stroke Test allows you to perform a partial, 10%, stroke test (standard) or a custom stroke test. With the
custom stroke test, the stroke may be extended up to 30%. Be sure to check plant guidelines before performing a
custom stroke test. The purpose of this test is to ensure that the valve assembly moves upon demand.
A partial stroke test can be initiated when the valve is operating in its normal (not tripped) state. For energizetotrip
(ETT) applications, the normal state is 4 mA. For deenergizetotrip (DETT) applications, the normal state is 20 mA
(pointtopoint mode) or 24 VDC (multidrop mode).
When enabled, a partial stroke test may be initiated by the device (as a scheduled, automatic partial stroke test), a
local pushbutton, the LCP100, a Field Communicator, or ValveLink software.
DAutomatic (Scheduled)
The Auto Partial Stroke Test allows the partial stroke test to be scheduled by the DVC6200 SIS. The test is scheduled in
number of hours between tests. Any power cycle will reset the test clock timer.
DLocal Pushbutton
A partial stroke test command may be sent to the digital valve controller using a set of contacts wired to the auxiliary
+/- terminals. To perform a test, the contacts must be closed for 3 to 10 seconds and then opened. To abort the test,
close the contacts for 1 second. The last set of diagnostic data is stored in the instrument memory for later retrieval via
ValveLink software.

Demand Mode Tests

The following steps assume the use of single acting spring and diaphragm actuators or doubleacting spring assist
piston actuators.
Perform the following steps to confirm valve operation:
DPointtoPoint Mode (DVC6200 SIS powered with 4-20 mA current source)
If the DVC6200 SIS is in series with a solenoid valve,
1. Disconnect the power from the solenoid valve, but maintain the 20 mA current to the digital valve controller.
The valve should move to its fail safe position.
2. Maintain power to the solenoid valve and adjust the current to the digital valve controller from
20 mA to 4 mA. The valve should move to its fail safe position.
3. Remove power from the solenoid valve and adjust the current to the digital valve controller from 20 mA to
4 mA. The valve should go to its fail safe position.
If a solenoid is not used with a DVC6200 SIS,
1. Adjust the current to the digital valve controller from 20 mA to 4 mA. The valve should move to its fail safe
position.
Note
The above tests are applicable for singleacting direct relay A and C. If singleacting reverse relay B is used adjust the current from 4

Solenoid Valve Health Monitoring

The following steps assume the use of a singleacting actuator with a solenoid valve installed. The DVC6200 SIS digital
valve controller, with singleacting, direct relay C, must be powered separately from the solenoid. The unused output
of the DVC6200 SIS must be connected between the solenoid and the actuator as described in the Installation section.
The relay configuration selection must be special application and ValveLink software must have the triggered profile
enabled.
1. When allowed by the Logic Solver, momentarily remove and then restore power to the solenoid (typically 100 to
200 milliseconds). This process should occur quickly enough that the valve assembly does not move when the
solenoid is deenergized.
2. With ValveLink software, upload the diagnostic data from the triggered profile menu.
3. Examine the graph and observe that there was a change in the pressure reading downstream of the solenoid.

January 2014
Section 6 Maintenance and Troubleshooting66

The DVC6200 SIS digital valve controller enclosure is rated Type 4X and IP66, therefore periodic cleaning of internal
components is not required. If the DVC6200 SIS is installed in an area where the exterior surfaces tend to get heavily
coated or layered with industrial or atmospheric contaminants, however, it is recommended that the vent (key 52) be
periodically inspected to ensure it is fully open. If the vent appears to be clogged, it can be removed, cleaned and
replaced. Lightly brush the exterior of the vent to remove contaminants and run a mild water/detergent solution
through the vent to ensure it is fully open. Allow the vent to dry before reinstalling.
WARNING
Personal injury or property damage can occur from cover failure due to overpressure. Ensure that the housing vent
opening is open and free of debris to prevent pressure buildup under the cover.
WARNING
To avoid static discharge from the plastic cover when flammable gases or dust are present, do not rub or clean the cover
with solvents. To do so could result in a spark that may cause the flammable gases or dust to explode, resulting in personal
injury or property damage. Clean with a mild detergent and water only.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before performing
any maintenance procedures on the DVC6200 SIS digital valve controller:
DAlways wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear.
DDo not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
DDisconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the
actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve.
DUse bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure. Relieve process pressure
from both sides of the valve.
DUse lockout procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
DCheck with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
DVent the pneumatic actuator loading pressure and relieve any actuator spring precompression so the actuator is not
applying force to the valve stem; this will allow for the safe removal of the stem connector.
WARNING
When using natural gas as the supply medium, or for explosion proof applications, the following warnings also apply:
DRemove electrical power before removing the housing cap. Personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion
may result if power is not disconnected before removing the cap.
DRemove electrical power before disconnecting any of the pneumatic connections.
DWhen disconnecting any of the pneumatic connections or any pressure retaining part, natural gas will seep from the
unit and any connected equipment into the surrounding atmosphere. Personal injury or property damage may result
59
Instruction Manual
D103557X012
January 2014
from fire or explosion if natural gas is used as the supply medium and appropriate preventive measures are not taken.
Preventive measures may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: ensuring adequate ventilation
and the removal of any ignition sources.
DEnsure that the cover is correctly installed before putting this unit back into service. Failure to do so could result in
personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion.
CAUTION
When replacing components, use only components specified by the factory. Always use proper component replacement
techniques, as presented in this manual. Improper techniques or component selection may invalidate the approvals and
the product specifications, as indicated in table 11, and may also impair operations and the intended function of the
device.
Because of the diagnostic capability of the DVC6200 SIS, predictive maintenance is available through the use of
ValveLink software. Using the digital valve controller, valve and instrument maintenance can be enhanced, thus
avoiding unnecessary maintenance. For information on using ValveLink software, refer to the ValveLink software

Principle of Operation

Appendix A Principle of OperationAAA

HART Communication
The HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) protocol gives field devices the capability of communicating
instrument and process data digitally. This digital communication occurs over the same twowire loop that provides
the 420 mA process control signal, without disrupting the process signal. In this way, the analog process signal, with
its faster update rate, can be used for control. At the same time, the HART protocol allows access to digital diagnostic,
maintenance, and additional process data. The protocol provides total system integration via a host device.
The HART protocol uses frequency shift keying (FSK). Two individual frequencies of 1200 and 2200 Hz are
superimposed over the 420 mA current signal. These frequencies represent the digits 1 and 0 (see figure A1). By
superimposing a frequency signal over the 4-20 mA current, digital communication is attained. The average value of
the HART signal is zero, therefore no DC value is added to the 420 mA signal. Thus, true simultaneous communication
is achieved without interrupting the process signal.

The HART protocol allows the capability of multidropping, i.e., networking several devices to a single communications
line. This process is well suited for monitoring remote applications such as pipelines, custody transfer sites, and tank
farms. See table 62 for instructions on changing the printed wiring board DIP switch configuration to multidrop.

The DVC6200 SIS digital valve controller housing contains the travel sensor, terminal box, pneumatic input and output
connections and a module base that may be easily replaced in the field without disconnecting field wiring or tubing.
The module base contains the following submodules: I/P converter, printed wiring board (pwb) assembly, and
pneumatic relay. The relay position is detected by sensing the magnet on the relay beam via a detector on the printed
wiring board. This sensor is used for the minor loop feedback (MLFB) reading. The module base can be rebuilt by
replacing the submodules. See figures A3 and A4.

E1362
DVC6200 SIS digital valve controllers are looppowered instruments that provide a control valve position proportional
to an input signal from the control room. The following describes a doubleacting digital valve controller mounted on a
piston actuator.
The input signal is routed into the terminal box through a single twisted pair of wires and then to the printed wiring
board assembly submodule where it is read by the microprocessor, processed by a digital algorithm, and converted
into an analog I/P drive signal.
As the input signal increases, the drive signal to the I/P converter increases, increasing the I/P output pressure. The I/P
output pressure is routed to the pneumatic relay submodule. The relay is also connected to supply pressure and
amplifies the small pneumatic signal from the I/P converter. The relay accepts the amplified pneumatic signal and
provides two output pressures. With increasing input (4 to 20 mA signal), the output A pressure always increases and
the output B pressure decreases. The output A pressure is used for doubleacting and singleacting direct applications.
The output B pressure is used for doubleacting and singleacting reverse applications. As shown in figure A3 the
increased output A pressure causes the actuator stem to move downward. Stem position is sensed by the noncontact
travel feedback sensor. The stem continues to move downward until the correct stem position is attained. At this point
the printed wiring board assembly stabilizes the I/P drive signal. This positions the flapper to prevent any further
increase in nozzle pressure.
As the input signal decreases, the drive signal to the I/P converter submodule decreases, decreasing the I/P output
pressure. The pneumatic relay decreases the output A pressure and increases the output B pressure. The stem moves
upward until the correct position is attained. At this point the printed wiring board assembly stabilizes the I/P drive
signal. This positions the flapper to prevent any further decrease in nozzle pressure.

activates an alert.
Algorithm
A set of logical steps to solve a problem or
accomplish a task. A computer program contains
one or more algorithms.
Control Loop
An arrangement of physical and electronic
components for process control. The electronic
components of the loop continuously measure
one or more aspects of the process, then alter
those aspects as necessary to achieve a desired
process condition. A simple control loop
measures only one variable. More sophisticated
control loops measure many variables and
maintain specified relationships among those
variables.
Alphanumeric
Consisting of letters and numbers.
Analog Input Units

Units in which the analog input is displayed and
maintained in the instrument.
ANSI (acronym)
The acronym ANSI stands for the American
National Standards Institute
Control Mode
Defines where the instrument reads its set point.
The following control modes are available for a
FIELDVUE Instrument:
Analog The instrument receives its travel set
point over the 420 mA loop.
Digital The instrument receives its set point
digitally, via the HART communications link.
Test This is not a userselectable mode. The Field
Communicator or ValveLink software places the
instrument in this mode whenever it needs to
move the valve, such as for calibration or
diagnostic tests.
ANSI Class
Valve pressure/temperature rating.
Bench Set
Pressure, supplied to an actuator, required to
drive the actuator through rated valve travel.
Expressed in pounds per square inch.

eight bits.
Calibration Location
Where the instrument was last calibrated; either
in the factory or in the field.
Configuration
Stored instructions and operating parameters for
a FIELDVUE Instrument.
Control Mode, Restart

Determines the instrument control mode after a
restart. See Control Mode for the available restart
control modes.
Controller
A device that operates automatically to regulate a
controlled variable.
CurrenttoPressure (I/P) Converter

An electronic component or device that converts
a milliamp signal to a proportional pneumatic
pressure output signal.
Cycle Counter
The capability of a FIELDVUE instrument to record
the number of times the travel changes direction.
The change in direction must occur after the
deadband has been exceeded before it can be
counted as a cycle.

Cycle Counter Alert

Checks the difference between the Cycle Counter
and the Cycle Counter Alert Point. Cycle Counter
Alert is active when the cycle counter value
exceeds the Cycle Counter Alert Point. It clears
after you reset the Cycle Counter to a value less
than the alert point.
Cycle Counter Alert Point

An adjustable value which, when exceeded,
activates the Cycle Counter Alert. Valid entries
are 0 to 4 billion cycles.
Drive Signal Alert

Checks the drive signal and calibrated travel. If
one of the following conditions exists for more
than 20 seconds, the Drive Signal Alert is active. If
none of the conditions exist, the alert is cleared.
If Zero Power Condition = Closed
The alert is active when:
drive signal <10% and calibrated travel >3%
drive signal >90% and calibrated travel <97%
If Zero Power Condition = Open
The alert is active when:
drive signal <10% and calibrated travel <97%
drive signal >90% and calibrated travel >3%
Equal Percentage
Cycle Counter Deadband
Region around the travel reference point, in
percent of ranged travel, established at the last
increment of the Cycle Counter. The deadband
must be exceeded before a change in travel can
be counted as a cycle. Valid entries are 0% to
100%. Typical value is between 2% and 5%.
Deviation
Usually, the difference between set point and
process variable. More generally, any departure
from a desired or expected value or pattern.
Device ID
Unique identifier embedded in the instrument at
the factory.
Device Revision
Revision number of the interface software that
permits communication between the Field
Communicator and the instrument.
A valve flow characteristic where equal

increments of valve stem travel produce equal
percentage changes in existing flow. One of the
input characteristics available for a FIELDVUE
Instrument. See also, Linear and Quick Opening.
Feedback Signal
Indicates to the instrument the actual position of
the valve. The travel sensor provides the feedback
signal to the instrument printed wiring board
assembly.
Firmware Revision
The revision number of the instrument firmware.
Firmware is a program that is entered into the
instrument at time of manufacture and cannot be
changed by the user.
Free Time
Percent of time that the microprocessor is idle. A
typical value is 25%. The actual value depends on
the number of functions in the instrument that
are enabled and on the amount of
communication currently in progress.
Full Ranged Travel

Current, in mA, that corresponds with the point
where ranged travel is maximum, i.e., limited by
the mechanical travel stops.
Gain
Drive Signal
The signal to the I/P converter from the printed
wiring board. It is the percentage of the total
microprocessor effort needed to drive the valve
fully open.
96

hardware. The physical components of the
instrument are defined as the hardware.
Instruction Manual
Glossary
D103557X012
HART (acronym)
The acronym HART stands for Highway
Addressable Remote Transducer.
HART Universal Revision

Revision number of the HART Universal
Commands which are the communications
protocol for the instrument.
Input Characteristic
The relationship between the ranged travel and
ranged input. Possible values include: linear,
equal percentage, and quick opening.
Input Current
The current signal from the control system that
serves as the analog input to the instrument. See
also Input Signal.
Input Range
The analog input signal range that corresponds to
the travel range.
Input Signal
The current signal from the control system. The
input signal can be displayed in milliamperes or in
percent of ranged input.
January 2014
Instrument Protection
Determines if commands from a HART device can
calibrate and/or configure certain parameters in
the instrument. There are two types of
instrument protection:
Configuration and Calibration: Prohibits changing
protected setup parameters; prohibits
calibration.
None: Permits both configuration and calibration.
The instrument is unprotected.
Instrument Serial Number

The serial number assigned to the printed wiring
board by the factory but can be changed during
setup. The instrument serial number should
match the serial number on the instrument
nameplate.
Leak Class
Defines the allowable leakage by a valve when it is
closed. Leak class numbers are listed in two
standards: ANSI/FCI 702 and IEC 5344.
Linear
A valve flow characteristic where changes in flow
rate are directly proportional to changes in valve
stem travel. One of the input characteristics
available for a FIELDVUE Instrument. See also,
Equal Percentage and Quick Opening.
Linearity, dynamic
Instrument Level
Determines the functions available for the
instrument.
Instrument Mode
Determines if the instrument responds to its
analog input signal. There are two instrument
modes:
In Service: For a fully functioning instrument, the
instrument output changes in response to analog
input changes. Typically changes to setup or
calibration cannot be made when the instrument
mode is In Service.
Out of Service: The instrument output does not
change in response to analog input changes
when the instrument mode is Out of Service.
Some setup parameters can be changed only
when the instrument mode is Out of Service.
Linearity (independent) is the maximum

deviation from a straight line best fit to the
opening and closing curves and a line
representing the average value of those curves.
Memory
A type of semiconductor used for storing
programs or data. FIELDVUE instruments use
three types of memory: Random Access Memory
(RAM), Read Only Memory (ROM), and
NonVolatile Memory (NVM). See also these
listings in this glossary.
Menu
A list of programs, commands, or other activities
that you select by using the arrow keys to
highlight the item then pressing ENTER, or by
entering the numeric value of the menu item.

Minimum Closing Time

Minimum time, in seconds, for the travel to
decrease through the entire ranged travel. This
rate is applied to any travel decrease. Valid entries
are 0 to 400 seconds. Deactivate by entering a
value of 0 seconds.
Minimum Opening Time

Minimum time, in seconds, for the travel to
increase through the entire ranged travel. This
rate is applied to any travel increase. Because of
friction, actual valve travel may not respond in
exactly the same time frame. Valid entries are 0
to 400 seconds. Deactivate by entering a value of
0 seconds.
NonVolatile Memory (NVM)

A type of semiconductor memory that retains its
contents even though power is disconnected.
NVM contents can be changed during
configuration unlike ROM which can be changed
only at time of instrument manufacture. NVM
stores configuration restart data.
Parallel
Simultaneous: said of data transmission on two or
more channels at the same time.
Polling Address
Address of the instrument. If the digital valve
controller is used in a pointtopoint
configuration, set the polling address to 0. If it is
used in a multidrop configuration, or split range
application, set the polling address to a value
from 0 to 15.
Pressure Sensor
A FIELDVUE instrument internal device that
senses pneumatic pressure. The DVC6200 SIS has
three pressure sensors: one to sense supply
pressure and two to sense the output pressures.
Primary Master
Masters are communicating devices. A primary
master is a communicating device permanently
wired to a field instrument. Typically, a
HARTcompatible control system or a computer
running ValveLink software is the primary master.
98
In contrast, a secondary master is not often

permanently wired to a field instrument. The
Field Communicator or a computer running
ValveLink software communicating through a
HART modem could be considered a secondary
master.
Note: If one type of master takes an instrument
Out Of Service, the same type must put it In
Service. For example, if a device set up as a
primary master takes an instrument Out Of
Service, a device set up as a primary master must
be used to place the instrument In Service.
Quick Opening
A valve flow characteristic where most of the
change in flow rate takes place for small amounts
of stem travel from the closed position. The flow
characteristic curve is basically linear through the
first 40 percent of stem travel. One of the input
characteristics available for a FIELDVUE
Instrument. See also, Equal Percentage and
Linear.
Random Access Memory (RAM)

A type of semiconductor memory that is normally
used by the microprocessor during normal
operation that permits rapid retrieval and storage
of programs and data. See also Read Only
Memory (ROM) and NonVolatile Memory (NVM).
Rate
Amount of change in output proportional to the
rate of change in input.
ReadOnly Memory (ROM)

A memory in which information is stored at the
time of instrument manufacture. You can
examine but not change ROM contents.
Seat Load
Force exerted on the valve seat, typically
expressed in pounds force per lineal inch of port
circumference. Seat load is determined by shutoff
requirements.
Set Point Filter Time (Lag Time)

The time constant, in seconds, for the firstorder
input filter. The default of 0 seconds will bypass
the filter.
Instruction Manual
Glossary
D103557X012
Software
Microprocessor or computer programs and
routines that reside in alterable memory (usually
RAM), as opposed to firmware, which consists of
programs and routines that are programmed into
memory (usually ROM) when the instrument is
manufactured. Software can be manipulated
during normal operation, firmware cannot.
Stroke Time
The DVC6200 SIS calculates the time it takes to
fully stroke in the event of a demand and stores
the last value. In order for the calculation to
occur, the Travel Hi Hi and Travel Lo Lo alert
points must be configured to 99% and 1%
respectively. Stroke time can be read from the
device with ValveLink software.
Stroking Time
The time, in seconds, required to move the valve
from its fully open position to fully closed, or vice
versa.
January 2014
Travel Accumulator Alert Point

An adjustable value which, when exceeded,
activates the Travel Accumulator Alert. Valid
entries are 0% to 4 billion %.
Travel Accumulator Deadband

Region around the travel reference point
established at the last increment of the
accumulator. This region must be exceeded
before a change in travel can be accumulated.
Valid entries are 0% to 100%.
Travel Alert
Checks the ranged travel against the travel high
and low alert points. The travel alert is active if
either the high or low point is exceeded. Once a
high or low point is exceeded, the ranged travel
must clear that point by the Travel Alert
Deadband before the alert clears. Four travel
alerts are available: Travel Alert Hi, Travel Alert Lo,
Travel Alert Hi Hi, and Travel Alert Lo Lo.
Travel Alert Deadband

Temperature Sensor
A device within the FIELDVUE instrument that
measures the instrument's internal temperature.
Travel
Movement of the valve stem or shaft which
changes the amount the valve is open or closed.
Travel Accumulator
The capability of a FIELDVUE instrument to record
total change in travel. The value of the Travel
Accumulator increments when the magnitude of
the change exceeds the Travel Accumulator
Deadband. To reset the Travel Accumulator, set it
to zero.
Travel Accumulator Alert

Checks the difference between the Travel
Accumulator value and the Travel Accumulator
Alert Point. The Travel Accumulator Alert is active
when the Travel Accumulator value exceeds the
Travel Accumulator Alert Point. It clears after you
reset the Travel Accumulator to a value less than
the alert point.
Travel, in percent of ranged travel, required to

clear a travel alert, once it is active. Valid entries
are -25% to 125%.
Travel Alert High Point

Value of the travel, in percent of ranged travel,
which, when exceeded, sets the Travel Alert Hi
alert. Valid entries are -25% to 125%.

Travel Cutoff
Defines the cutoff point for the travel, in percent
of ranged travel. There are two travel cutoffs:
high and low. Once travel exceeds the cutoff, the
drive signal is set to either maximum or
minimum, depending on the Zero Control Signal
and if the cutoff is high or low. Minimum opening
time or minimum closing time are not in effect
while the travel is beyond the cutoff. Use the
travel cutoff to obtain the desired seat load or to
be sure the valve is fully open.
Travel Range
Travel, in percent of calibrated travel, that
corresponds to the input range.
Travel Sensor
A device within the FIELDVUE instrument that
senses valve stem or shaft movement. The travel
sensor in the DVC6200 SIS is the Hall Effect
sensor that measures the position of the
magnetic assembly.

Travel Deviation
The difference between the analog input signal
(in percent of ranged input), the target travel,
and the actual ranged travel.
Travel Deviation Alert

Checks the difference between the target and the
ranged travel. If the difference exceeds the Travel
Deviation Alert Point for more than the Travel
Deviation Time, the Travel Deviation Alert is
active. It remains active until the difference is less
than the Travel Deviation Alert Point.
Travel Deviation Alert Point

An adjustable value for the target travel and the
ranged travel difference, expressed in percent,
When this value is exceeded by the travel
deviation for more than the Travel Deviation
Time, the Travel Deviation Alert is active. Valid
entries are 0% to 100%. Typically this is set to 5%.
Increasing or decreasing air pressure causes the

magnet assembly to move up or down or the
rotary shaft to turn clockwise or
counterclockwise. The Setup Wizard asks if it can
move the valve to determine travel.
Tuning
The adjustment of control terms or parameter
values to produce a desired control effect.
Tuning Set
Preset values that identify gain settings for a
FIELDVUE instrument. The tuning set and supply
pressure together determine an instrument's
response to input signal changes.
Watch Dog Timer

A timer that the microprocessor must rearm
periodically. If the microprocessor is unable to
rearm the timer, the instrument goes through
reset.

Travel Deviation Time
The time, in seconds. that the travel deviation
must exceed the Travel Deviation Alert Point
before the alert is active. Valid entries are 1 to 60
seconds.
Travel Limit
A setup parameter that defines the maximum
allowable travel (in percent of ranged travel) for
the valve. During operation, the travel target will
not exceed this limit. There are two travel limits:
high and low. Typically the travel limit low will be
used to keep the valve from going completely
closed.
100
The position of the valve (open or closed) when

the electrical power to the instrument is
removed. Zero Power Condition (ZPC) is
determined by relay and actuator action as
follows:
Single Acting Direct (Relay C) Upon loss of
electrical power instrument goes to zero air
output at port A.
Double Acting (Relay A) Upon loss of electrical
power instrument goes to full supply air output at
port B. A goes to zero air output.
Single Acting Reverse (Relay B) Upon loss of
electrical power instrument goes to full supply air
output at Port B.
