The FIELDVUE DVC6200 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 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 digital valve controllers (figures 11 and 12) are communicating, microprocessorbased
currenttopneumatic instruments. In addition to the normal function of converting an input current signal to a
pneumatic output pressure, the DVC6200 digital valve controller, using the HARTr communications protocol, gives
easy access to information critical to process operation. You can gain information from the principal component of the
process, the control valve itself, using the Field Communicator at the valve, or at a field junction box, or by using a
personal computer or operator's console within the control room.
Using a personal computer and ValveLink software or AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager, or a Field Communicator,
you can perform several operations with the DVC6200 digital valve controller. You can obtain general information
concerning software revision level, messages, tag, descriptor, and date.

The feedback system for the DVC6200 digital valve controller utilizes a magnetic assembly for linkageless,
noncontacting position measurement. In order to prevent inadvertent stem movement while the instrument is in
operation, magnetic tools (such as a magnetictipped screwdriver) should not be used.
Note
The magnet assembly may be referred to as a magnetic array in user interface tools.
CAUTION
The magnet assembly material has been specifically chosen to provide a longterm stable magnetic field.
However, as with any magnet, care must be taken when handling the magnet assembly. Another high powered magnet
placed in close proximity (less than 25 mm) can cause permanent damage. Potential sources of damaging equipment
include, but are not limited to: transformers, DC motors, stacking magnet assemblies.
CAUTION
General Guidelines for use of High Power Magnets with Positioners
Use of high power magnets in close proximity to any positioner which is operating a process should be avoided. Regardless
of the positioner model, high power magnets can affect the positioners ability to control the valve. Technicians should
avoid the use of high power magnets in close proximity with any positioner.
Use of Magnetic Tools with the DVC6200

DMagnetic Tip Screw Drivers Magnetic tip screw drivers can be used to work on the DVC6200. However, they should
not be brought in close proximity to the magnet assembly (located at the back of the instrument) during process
operations.
DCalibrator Strap Magnets These are high power magnets used to hold 4-20 ma calibrators.
Normally, these calibrators would not be used while an instrument is controlling the process.
High power magnets should be kept at least 15 cm (6 inches) from the DVC6200.
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 housing) has to remain within this range throughout the entire valve travel. See figure 22. The linear
magnet assemblies are symmetrical. Either end may be up.

Mounting the DVC6215 Feedback Unit

If ordered as part of a control valve assembly, the factory mounts the feedback unit on the actuator, makes pneumatic
connections to the actuator, sets up, and calibrates the instrument. If you purchased the feedback unit separately, you
will need a mounting kit to mount the feedback unit on the actuator. See the instructions that come with the
mounting kit for detailed information on mounting the feedback unit to a specific actuator model.
The DVC6215 housing is available in two different configurations, depending on the actuator mounting method.
Figure 27 shows the available configurations. The feedback system for the DVC6215 feedback unit utilizes a magnetic
assembly for true linkageless, noncontacting position measurement. In order to prevent inadvertent stem
movement while the instrument is in operation, magnetic tools (such as a magnetictipped screwdriver) should not be
used.

There are a variety of mounting brackets and kits that are used to mount the DVC6215 to different actuators.
Note
The DVC6215 feedback unit uses the same mountings as the DVC6200 digital valve controller.
However, despite subtle differences in fasteners, brackets, and connecting linkages, the procedures for mounting can
be categorized as follows:
DSlidingstem linear actuators
DFisher rotary actuators
DGX actuator
DQuarterturn actuators
See figure 23 for examples of the different travel feedback magnet assemblies.
SlidingStem Linear Actuators up to 210 mm (8.25 Inches) of Travel

The DVC6215 feedback unit has linkageless, noncontact feedback on slidingstem actuators with up to 210 mm
(8.25 inches) travel. Figure 29 shows a typical mounting on a sliding stem actuator. For actuators with greater than
210 mm (8.25 inches) travel, see the guidelines on page 20.
1. Isolate the control valve from the process line pressure and release pressure from both sides of the valve body. Shut
off all pressure lines to the actuator, releasing all pressure from the actuator. Use lockout procedures to be sure
that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
2. Attach the mounting bracket to the actuator.
Figure 29. Mounting Parts for SlidingStem Actuator with up to 210 mm (8.25 Inches) Travel

CAUTION
Do not install a magnet assembly that is shorter than the physical travel of the actuator. Loss of control will result from the
magnet assembly moving outside the range of the index mark in the feedback slot of the DVC6215 housing.
4. Using the alignment template (supplied with the mounting kit), position the magnet assembly inside the retaining
slot.
5. Align the magnet assembly as follows:
For airtoopen actuators (e.g. Fisher 667) vertically align the magnet assembly so that the center line of the alignment
template is lined up as close as possible with the upper extreme of the valid travel range on the magnet assembly. The
magnet assembly should be positioned so that the index mark in the feedback slot of the DVC6215 housing is within
the valid range on the magnet assembly throughout the range of travel. See figure 210.
For airtoclose actuators (e.g. Fisher 657) vertically align the magnet assembly so that the center line of the alignment
template is lined up as close as possible with the lower extreme of the valid travel range on the magnet assembly. The
magnet assembly should be positioned so that the index mark in the feedback slot of the DVC6215 housing is within
the valid range on the magnet assembly throughout the range of travel. See figure 211.

Supply pressure must be clean, dry air that meets the requirements of ISA Standard 7.0.01.
Alternatively, natural gas must be clean, dry, oilfree, and noncorrosive. H2S content should not exceed 20 ppm.
A maximum 40 micrometer particle size in the air system is acceptable. Further filtration down to 5 micrometer
particle size is recommended. Lubricant content is not to exceed 1 ppm weight (w/w) or volume (v/v) basis.
Condensation in the air supply should be minimized.
If you are using a 67CFR filter regulator with standard 5 micrometer filter, connect the supply line to the 1/4 NPT IN
connection and attach tubing from the output connection on the filter regulator to the SUPPLY connection on the
instrument. If you are using an integral mounted 67CFR filter regulator, connect the supply to the IN connection on
the regulator.
Output Connection
A factory mounted digital valve controller has its output piped to the supply connection on the actuator. If mounting
the digital valve controller in the field, connect the 1/4 NPT digital valve controller output connection to the
pneumatic actuator input connection.
SingleActing Actuators
When using a singleacting direct digital valve controller (relay A or C) on a singleacting actuator, connect OUTPUT A
to the actuator pneumatic input. When using a singleacting reverse digital valve controller (relay B) on a singleacting
actuator, connect OUTPUT B to the actuator diaphragm casing.

DoubleActing Actuators
DVC6200 digital valve controllers on doubleacting actuators always use relay A. With no input current, OUTPUT A is at
0 pressure and OUTPUT B is at full supply pressure when the relay is properly adjusted. To have the actuator stem
extend from the cylinder with increasing input signal, connect OUTPUT A to the upper actuator cylinder connection.
Connect OUTPUT B to the lower cylinder connection. To have the actuator stem retract into the cylinder with
increasing input signal, connect OUTPUT A to the lower actuator cylinder connection. Connect OUTPUT B to the upper
cylinder connection.
Special Construction to Support Solenoid Valve Testing

Note
Solenoid valve testing is only available for instrument level ODV.
In singleacting actuator applications with a solenoid valve installed, the DVC6200 can be configured to test the
operation of the solenoid valve. This is accomplished by connecting the unused output port from the DVC6200 to
the pneumatic line between the solenoid valve and the actuator, as shown in figure 223. When singleacting, direct
relay C is installed, the unused output port is port B. When singleacting, reverse relay B is used, the unused port is
port A.

Vent
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
This unit vents the supply medium into the surrounding atmosphere. When installing this unit in a nonhazardous
(nonclassified) location in a confined area, with natural gas as the supply medium, you must remotely vent this unit to a
safe location. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion, and area
reclassification.
When installing this unit in a hazardous (classified) location remote venting of the unit may be required, depending upon
the area classification, and as specified by the requirements of local, regional, and federal codes, rules and regulations.
Failure to do so when necessary could result in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion, and area
reclassification.
Vent line piping should comply with local and regional codes, should be as short as possible with a minimum inside
diameter of 12.7 mm (1/2inch), and few bends to reduce case pressure buildup.
In addition to remote venting of the unit, ensure that all caps and covers are correctly installed. Failure to do so could result
in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion, and area reclassification.
The relay constantly bleeds a small amount of supply medium into the area under the cover. The vent opening, located
below the wiring terminal box on the side of the housing, should be left open to prevent pressure buildup under the
cover. If a remote vent is required, the vent lines must be as short as possible with a minimum number of bends and
elbows.
To connect a remote vent, remove the plastic vent. The vent connection is 3/8 NPT. At a minimum, 12.7 mm
(1/2inch) tubing should be used when installing a remote vent to prevent excessive pressure from building up under
the cover.
Wiring and Electrical Connections

WARNING
To avoid personal injury resulting from electrical shock, do not exceed maximum input voltage specified in table 12 of this
quick start guide, or on the product nameplate. If the input voltage specified differs, do not exceed the lowest specified

Wiring Practices
Control System Requirements
There are several parameters that should be checked to ensure the control system is compatible with the DVC6200
digital valve controller.
HART Filter
Depending on the control system you are using, a HART filter may be needed to allow HART communication. The
HART filter is a passive device that is inserted in field wiring from the HART loop. The filter is normally installed near the
field wiring terminals of the control system I/O (see figure 227). Its purpose is to effectively isolate the control system
output from modulated HART communication signals and raise the impedance of the control system to allow HART
communication. For more information on the description and use of the HART filter, refer to the appropriate HART
filter instruction manual.
To determine if your system requires a filter contact your Emerson Process Management sales office.
Note
A HART filter is typically NOT required for any of the Emerson Process Management control systems, including PROVOXt, RS3t,
and DeltaVt systems.

Voltage Available
The voltage available at the DVC6200 digital valve controller must be at least 11 volts DC. 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 228, the voltage available at the instrument depends upon:
Dthe control system compliance voltage
Dif a filter, wireless THUM adapter, or intrinsic safety barrier is used, and
Dthe wire type and length.
The control system compliance voltage is the maximum voltage at the control system output terminals at which the
control system can produce maximum loop current.
The voltage available at the instrument may be calculated from the following equation:
Voltage Available = [Control System Compliance Voltage (at maximum current)] - [filter voltage drop (if a HART filter is
used)] - [total cable resistance maximum current] - [barrier resistance x maximum current].
The calculated voltage available should be greater than or equal to 11 volts DC.
Table 22 lists the resistance of some typical cables.
The following example shows how to calculate the voltage available for a Honeywellt TDC2000 control system with a
HF340 HART filter, and 1000 feet of Beldent 9501 cable:
Voltage available = [18.5 volts (at 21.05 mA)] - [2.3 volts] - [48 ohms 0.02105 amps]
Voltage available = [18.5] - [2.3] - [1.01]
Voltage available = 15.19 volts

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 22)
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.

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.

Typically the Setup Wizard determines the required setup information based upon the actuator manufacturer and
model specified. However, if you enter other for the actuator manufacturer or the actuator model, then you will be
prompted for setup parameters such as:
Actuator style (spring & diaphragm, piston doubleacting without spring, piston singleacting with spring, piston
doubleacting with spring),
Valve style (rotary or slidingstem),
On Loss of Instrument Signal (valve opens or closes), see Zero Power Condition on page 70.
WARNING
If you answer YES to the prompt for permission to move the valve when the Setup Wizard is determining the travel sensor
motion, the instrument will move the valve through its full travel range. 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 process fluid.
Travel Sensor motion (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
sensor motion. If you answer Yes, the instrument will stroke the valve the full travel span to determine travel sensor
motion. If you answer No, then you must specify the direction of travel movement. For quarterturn actuators
determine rotation by viewing the rotation of the magnet assembly from the back of the instrument (see Travel
Sensor Motion on page 71).
Volume booster (indicate if volume booster or quick release valve is present)
Tuning set (see Tuning Set in the Detailed Setup section).
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.
After completing the setup information, you will be prompted to run auto calibration. Follow the prompts on the Field
Communicator display. The calibration procedure uses the valve and actuator stops as the 0% and 100% calibration
points. For additional information, refer to Auto Calibration on page 78.

If a doubleacting relay is used, you will be prompted to run the relay adjustment when auto calibration is selected.
Select Yes to adjust the relay. For additional information refer to Relay Adjustment on page 83.
If after completing the Setup Wizard the valve seems slightly unstable or unresponsive, you can improve operation by
selecting either Performance Tuner or Stabilize/Optimize.
Performance Tuner
Field Communicator
Configure > Guided Setup > Performance Tuner (112)
Note
The Performance Tuner is available for instrument level AD, PD, and ODV.
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
The Performance Tuner is used to optimize 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.
Access Performance Tuner by selecting Performance Tuner from the Guided Setup menu. Follow the prompts on the
Field Communicator display to optimize digital valve controller tuning.

Mode and Protection

Mode
Instrument Mode
Field Communicator
Instrument Mode allows you to either take the instrument Out Of Service or place it In Service. Taking the instrument
Out Of Service allows you to perform instrument calibration and also allows you to change setup variables that affect
control, provided the calibration/configuration protection is properly set. See Setting Protection.
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.
Control Mode
Field Communicator
Control Mode lets you define where the instrument reads its set point. Follow the prompts on the Field Communicator
display to choose one of the following control modes: Analog or Digital.
Choose Analog if the instrument is to receive its set point over the 420 mA loop. Normally the instrument control
mode is Analog.
Choose Digital if the instrument is to receive its set point digitally, via the HART communications link.
A third mode, Test, is also displayed. Normally the instrument should not be in the Test mode. The Field
Communicator automatically switches to this mode whenever it needs to stroke the valve during calibration or stroke
valve, for example. However, if you abort from a procedure where the instrument is in the Test mode, it may remain in
this mode. To take the instrument out of the Test mode, select Control Mode then select either Analog or Digital.
Field Communicator
Configure > Detailed Setup > Mode and Protection > Restart Control Mode (1213)
Restart Control Mode lets you choose which operating mode you want the instrument to be in after a restart. Follow
the prompts on the Field Communicator display to define the restart control mode as Resume Last, Analog, or Digital.
Burst Mode
Field Communicator
Configure > Detailed Setup > Mode and Protection > Burst Mode (1214)
Enabling burst mode provides continuous communication from the digital valve controller. Burst mode applies only to
the transmission of burst mode data (analog input, travel target, pressure, and travel) and does not affect the way
other data is accessed.
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.
DBurst EnableYes or no. Burst mode must be enabled before you can change the burst mode command.
DChange Burst Enable Turns Burst Mode on and off. Actual values are Burst Enable = Disabled(Polled), Enabled.
DBurst CommandThere are four burst mode commands. Command 3 is recommended for use with the 333 HART
TriLoop HARTtoanalog signal converter. The other three are not used at this time.

Hot Key > Protection (Hot Key3)
Field Communicator
Configure > Detailed Setup > Mode and Protection > Protection (1215)
Some setup parameters may require changing the protection with the Field Communicator. To remove protection
(change protection to None) requires placing a jumper across the auxiliary terminals in the terminal box in order to
change protection.
Note
If the Auxiliary Terminal Action is configured for Auto Calibration, be sure the jumper remains across the auxiliary terminals until
the Field Communicator prompts you to remove it. Removing the jumper too soon will cause the instrument to begin auto
calibration.
Auto calibration can be terminated by shorting the auxiliary terminals for one second.
WARNING
If the jumper is removed too soon, and auto calibration begins, 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

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 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 Expert tuning.
Table 44 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.
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.
DStabilize/OptimizeStabilize/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.

DPerformance Tuner
Note
The Performance Tuner is available for instrument level AD, PD, and ODV, and can only be run while in Travel control mode.
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.
Integral Settings
DIntegral Dead ZoneA window around the Primary Setpoint in which integral action is disabled. This feature is used
to eliminate friction induced limit cycles around the Primary Setpoint when the integrator is active. The Dead Zone
is configurable from 0% to 2%, corresponding to a symmetric window from 0% to +/-2% around the Primary
Setpoint. Default value is 0.25%.
DIntegral LimitThe Integral Limit provides an upper limit to the integrator output. The high limit is configurable
from 0 to 100% of the I/P drive signal.
Pressure 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.
DPressure Tuning SetThere are twelve Pressure 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.

Cutoffs and Limits

DCutoff Hi
Travel Cutoff High defines the high cutoff point for the travel in percent (%) of ranged input current. Above this
cutoff, the travel target is set to 123.0% of the ranged input current. When a Travel Cutoff High is set, the Travel
Limit High is deactivated, since only one of these parameters can be active. Travel Cutoff Hi is deactivated by setting
it to 125.0%.
Pressure Cutoff Hi defines the high cutoff point for the pressure in percent (%) of precharacterized setpoint. Above
this cutoff, the pressure target is set to 123.0%. A Pressure Cutoff Hi of 99.5% is recommended to ensure valve goes
fully open. Pressure Cutoff Hi is deactivated by setting it to 125%.
DCutoff Lo
Travel Cutoff Low defines the low cutoff point for the travel set point. Travel Cutoff Low can be used to ensure
proper seat load is applied to the valve. When below the travel cutoff low, the output is set to zero or to full supply

pressure, depending upon the zero power condition. A Travel Cutoff Low of 0.5% is recommended to help ensure
maximum shutoff seat loading. When a Travel Cutoff Low is set, the Travel Limit Low is deactivated, since only one
of these parameters can be active. Travel Cutoff Low is deactivated by setting it to -25%.
Pressure Cutoff Lo defines the low cutoff point for the pressure in percent (%) of precharacterized setpoint. Below
this cutoff, the pressure target is set to -23%. A Pressure Cutoff Lo of 0.5% is recommended to help ensure
maximum shutoff seat loading. Pressure Cutoff Lo is deactivated by setting it to -25.0%
DChange CutoffsAllows you to set hi and lo cutoffs. When a cutoff is set the corresponding travel or pressure limit
will be disabled.
DTravel Limit HiDefines the high limit for the travel in percent (%) of ranged travel. It is the maximum allowable
travel (in percent of ranged travel) for the valve. During operation, the travel target will not exceed this limit. When
a Travel Limit High is set, the Travel Cutoff High is deactivated, since only one of these parameters can be active.
Travel Limit High is deactivated by setting it to 125.0%
DTravel Limit LoDefines the low limit for the travel in percent (%) of ranged travel. It is the minimum allowable travel
(in percent of ranged travel) for the valve. During operation, the travel target will not exceed this limit. When a
Travel Limit Low is set, the Travel Cutoff Low is deactivated, since only one of these parameters can be active. Travel
Limit Low is deactivated by setting it to -25.0%.
DChange Travel LimitsAllows you to set hi and lo travel limits. Setting a travel limit will eliminate the corresponding
Tvl/Press Cutoff.
Pressure Control
DPressure Range HiThe high end of output pressure range. Enter the pressure that corresponds with 100% valve
travel when Zero Power Condition is closed, or 0% valve travel when Zero Power Condition is open. This pressure
must be greater than the Pressure Range Lo.
DPressure Range LoThe low end of the output pressure range. Enter the pressure that corresponds to 0% valve travel
when Zero Power Condition is closed, or 100% valve travel when Zero Power Condition is open. This pressure must
be less than the Pressure Range Hi.
End Point Pressure Control (Instrument Level ODV)
Note
End Point Pressure Control is available for instrument level ODV.
DEnd Pt Control Enab Select 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.
DPST Start PtDefines the travel stop the valve needs to be at before a partial stroke test can be initiated. Also defines
the travel stop for end point pressure control. Setting this value to Not Configured will disable partial stroke tests
and end point pressure control.

DPress Set PointUsed in conjunction with End Point Pressure Control, Pressure 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.
DPress Sat Time Pressure Saturation Time is the time the digital valve controller stays in hard cutoff before switching
to pressure control. Default is 45 seconds.
Field Communicator
Configure > Detailed Setup > Response Control > Input Characterization (1223)
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 Response Control menu. You can select from
the three fixed input characteristics shown in figure 41 or you can select a custom characteristic. Figure 41 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.
Custom Characterization Table

Field Communicator
Configure > Detailed Setup > Response Control > Custom Characterization Table (1224)
To define a custom input character select Custom Characterization Table from the Response Control menu. 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 Response Control 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).

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 9 and 10 this parameter should be set to 0.
Note
Set Point Filter Time (Lag Time) is available for instrument level HC, AD, and PD.
DLead/Lag Set Point FilterODV devices have access to a leadlag set point filter that can be used to improve a valve's
dynamic response. The leadlag filter is part of the set point processing routine that reshapes the input signal before
it becomes travel set point. Leadlag filters are characterized by lead and lag time constants.
Note
Lead/Lag is only available for instrument level ODV.
When the valve is in its active control region (off the seat), the leadlag filter improves small amplitude response by
momentarily overdriving the travel set point. This is useful when the actuator is large and equipped with accessories.
As a result, any volume boosters that are present will be activated. The longer the lag time, the more pronounced the
overdrive. Since the leadlag input filter is used to enhance the dynamic response of a control valve, filter parameters
should be set after the tuning parameters have been established.
When the valve is at its seat, the leadlag filter also has a boost function that sets the initial conditions of the filter
artificially low so that small amplitude signal changes appear to be large signal changes to the filter. The boost
function introduces a large spike that momentarily overdrives the instrument and activates any external volume
boosters that may be present. The leadlag boost function is normally disabled except for those cases where the valve
must respond to small command signals off the seat. By setting the lead/lag ratio in the opening and closing directions
to 1.0, the boost function can be enabled without introducing leadlag dynamics in the active control region. See table
46 for typical leadlag filter settings.

Section 5 Calibration 55
Calibration Overview
When a DVC6200 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 > Calibrate > Travel Calibration > Auto Calibration. For more detailed calibration information, refer to the
following calibration procedures.
Calibrate
Field Communicator
Configure > Calibrate (13)
Travel Calibration
DAuto Travel Calibration This procedure automatically calibrates the travel. The calibration procedure uses the
valve and actuator stops as the 0% and 100% calibration points.
DManual Travel Calibration This procedure permits manual calibration of the travel. This calibration procedure
allows you to determine the 0% and 100% calibration points.
Sensor Calibration
DPressure SensorsThis procedure permits calibrating the three pressure sensors. Normally the sensors are
calibrated at the factory and should not need calibration.
DAnalog In CalibrationThis procedure permits calibrating the analog input sensor. Normally the sensor is calibrated
at the factory and should not need calibration.
Relay AdjustmentThis procedure permits adjustment of the pneumatic relay.
Restore Factory SettingsThis procedure permits you to restore the calibration settings back to the factory settings.
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 process fluid.

Travel Calibration
Field Communicator
Configure > Calibrate > Travel Calibration (131)
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 in this section.
Note
Relay Adjustment is only available for the doubleacting relay (Relay A).
Auto Travel Calibration

1. The auto calibration procedure is automatic. It is completed when the Calibrate 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 51 for error messages and possible remedies.
Table 51. Auto Calibrate Travel Error Messages
Error Message
Power failure occurred during Auto Calib
Auto Calib did not complete within the time limit.
Insufficient travel
Possible Problem and Remedy

The analog input signal to the instrument must be greater than 3.8 mA. Adjust the current output
from the control system or the current source to provide at least 4.0 mA.
The problem may be one or the other of the following:
1.The tuning set selected is too low and the valve does not reach an end point in the allotted time.
Press the Hot Key, select Stabilize/Optimize then Increase Response (selects next higher tuning set).
2.The tuning set selected is too high, valve operation is unstable and does not stay at an end point
for the allotted time. Press the Hot Key, select Stabilize/Optimize then Decrease Response (selects next
lower tuning set).
Prior to receiving this message, did the instrument output go from zero to full supply? If not, verify
instrument supply pressure by referring to the specifications in the appropriate actuator instruction
manual. If supply pressure is correct, check instrument pneumatic components (I/P converter and
relay).
If the instrument output did go from zero to full supply prior to receiving this message, then verify
proper mounting by referring to the appropriate mounting procedure in the Installation section and
checking the magnet array for proper alighment.

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.
Calibration using the Aux Terminal Connections

Note
Pressure range is not captured during this procedure.
Travel calibration can also be accomplished by shorting the auxiliary terminal connections for 3 to 5 seconds. You can
abort the procedure by shorting the auxiliary terminals for 1 second.
To enable this calibration Auxiliary Terminal Action must be set to Auto Calibration. The instrument Operational Status
during calibration is Calibration in Progress.
Use this calibration procedure to calibrate the digital valve controller travel whenever the I/P converter or relay is
replaced. Do not use this calibration for initial calibration when mounting the instrument on an actuator, or if the
printed wiring board assembly was replaced.
You can use the auxiliary terminal connections to calibrate the digital valve controller if you suspect calibration has
changed due to drift. However, prior to initiating calibration for this reason, perform a Valve Signature diagnostic test,
using ValveLink software. This will capture the asfound data for future root cause analysis.

Partial Stroke Test (ODV only)

Field Communicator
Service Tools > Partial Stroke Test (25)
Note
Partial Stroke Test is only available for instrument level ODV.
The Partial Stroke Test allows DVC6200 digital valve controllers with instrument level ODV 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 at either 4 or 20 mA (pointtopoint mode). In
applications where a spurious trip is to be minimized, 4 mA is the normal operating position.
When enabled, a partial stroke test may be initiated by the device (as a scheduled, auto partial stroke test), a remote
push button located in the field or at the valve, a Field Communicator, or ValveLink software.
Device (Digital Valve Controller)

The Auto Partial Stroke Test allows the partial stroke test to be scheduled by the DVC6200. The test is scheduled in
number of hours between tests. Any power cycle will reset the test clock timer.
Auxiliary Terminal
The auxiliary terminal can be used for different applications. The default configuration is for a partial stroke test
initiated by shorting the contacts wired to the auxiliary +/- terminals of the DVC6200. Refer to Auxiliary Terminal
Wiring Length Guidelines below.
DLocal Push Button
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 5 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.
DLocal DI
When configured by the user interface, the Auxiliary Terminal can be used as a discrete input from a pressure switch,
temperature switch etc., to provide an alert.

Auxiliary Terminal Wiring Length Guidelines

The Auxiliary Input Terminals of a DVC6200 with instrument level ODV can be used with a locallymounted switch for
initiating a partial stroke test. Some applications require that the partial stroke test be initiated from a remote
location.
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 18000 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 18000 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 = 18000pF /(26pF/ft) = 692 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 = 18000pF /(97pF/ft) = 185 ft
The AUX switch input passes less than 1 mA through the switch contacts, and uses less than 5V, 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.
Field Communicator
1. Connect the Field Communicator to the LOOP terminals on the digital valve controller.
2. Turn on the Field Communicator.
3. From the Online menu, select Service Tools > Partial Stroke Test.
4. Select either Standard (10%) or Custom. With the Custom Stroke Test, the stroke may be entered up to 30% with
configurable stroking speed and pause time.
5. The currently configured Stroke, Stroking Speed, and Pause Time is displayed. Choose Yes to run the test using
these values. Choose No to modify the values. The default value for Stroke Speed is 0.25%/second.
6. The valve begins to move and the actual travel reported by the digital valve controller is displayed on the Field
Communicator.
7. Once the valve has reached the endpoint, check that the valve has reached the desired set point. The valve should
return to its original position.

Section 7 Maintenance and Troubleshooting77

The DVC6200 digital valve controller enclosure is rated Type 4X and IP66, therefore periodic cleaning of internal
components is not required. If the DVC6200 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
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 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

Principle of Operation

December 2013
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 72 for instructions on changing the printed wiring board DIP switch configuration to multidrop.

The DVC6200 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 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.

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.

December 2013
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
Pressure Sensor
A FIELDVUE instrument internal device that
senses pneumatic pressure. The DVC6200 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.
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
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.
138
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.
Instruction Manual
Glossary
D103409X012
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.

The time constant, in seconds, for the firstorder
input filter. The default of 0 seconds will bypass
the filter.
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.
December 2013
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.

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%.
Stroking Time
The time, in seconds, required to move the valve
from its fully open position to fully closed, or vice
versa.
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 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

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 Alert Low Low Point

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

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.
140

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%.

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.
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 is the Hall Effect sensor
that measures the position of the magnetic
assembly.

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.
Instruction Manual
Glossary
D103409X012
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.
December 2013

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.
