Standalone ValveLink software can use the Emerson USB Fieldbus Interface, as well as the National Instruments
(NI-Fbus) interface to connect to Fieldbus FIELDVUE instruments (DVC6200f and DVC6000f) to configure, calibrate,
and diagnose the device on a bench or in the field:

PD may be used to help detect problems with air leakage, valve assembly friction and deadband, instrument air
quality, loose connections, supply pressure restriction, and valve assembly calibration. When a problem is identified,
the diagnostic provides a description and severity of the problem, a probable cause, and recommended action.
In‐service diagnostics for troubleshooting allow custom diagnostics to be set up to collect data at a high‐frequency
collection rate and present the data in a graphical format.
Performance Diagnostics tests are available upon user request or a pre‐selected daily, weekly,
monthly, or yearly schedule without user intervention for HART instruments
Performance Diagnostics are continually running in FOUNDATION Fieldbus Instruments
and do not need to be initiated by ValveLink software

Performance Diagnostics monitor the digital valve controller set point and plot valve operation to provide insight into
the dynamic performance of the valve/actuator assembly. Out‐of‐service diagnostics such as valve signature, dynamic
error band, and step response assist in the identification of emerging valve problems quickly and accurately.

The Step Response diagnostic allows you to evaluate how well the valve tracks an input change. By minimizing dead
time, deadband, and overshoot, process control is greatly enhanced. With the Step Response test you can:
Validate tuning parameters.
Obtain a numerical analysis for overshoot,
hysteresis, dead time, t63, and t86.
Define up to 30 steps.

2. the follow up batch uploads the diagnostic results in ValveLink software either during current outage or once valves
are back “In-Service”.
Key benefits
Further increase process uptime and improve productivity with up
to 80% time saving when running Concurrent Batch over a Batch
Runner for similar tasks.
Run up to three tasks in Concurrent Batch for one tag with the
DVC6200 FW7 device only.
Diagnostics are stored in the instrument after the concurrent batch
is executed, allowing for data retrieval immediately after
completion of the test or at a later time when valve is In-Service.
Available with all configurations of the ValveLink software suite
(ValveLink SOLO, ValveLink SNAP-ON, ValveLink DTM and ValveLink
PLUG-IN for PRM).
Supported on DVC6200, DVC6200f, DVC6000, and DVC6000f
instruments.
Fits into the proactive maintenance strategy of monitoring and
diagnosing problems and correcting root cause sooner by
gathering maximum data in a minimum amount of time.

After the 60 days of full functionality temporary license available with each installation, the express license can be
enabled by running the ValveLink License Wizard and requesting a New License using software licensing (Express).
ValveLink Express is designed primarily to allow you to perform key tasks such as setup, calibration, and alert
configuration and to set the instrument In-Service.
The Express license can be upgraded to a full functionality license to add diagnostic capabilities at anytime. Contact
your Emerson sales office or Local Business Partner for further information.
