PC Configurator Stainless steel

PC Configurator
A PC configurator is available to connect your D3 with a PC. All you need is a HART® modem and a D3 with
HART® option. This PC configurator is available free of charge.

Communication
D3 is available with HART®, Profibus PA and Foundation Fieldbus protocol for bi-directional communication,
enabling remote configuration and installation from PC or a handheld communicator. Drivers are available
for AMS software.

ValveSight
PMV D3 digital positioner with optional on board pressure sensors and ValveSight software offers you a
powerfull tool for control valve diagnostics.
A glance at the dasboard provides you with full understanding of your asset health status and possible
upcomming issues.
It is based on open standards from the FDT group presents it data in a unique Graphical User Interface.
ValveSight Is Unique.
Open standards
ValveSight is based on open standards for integration and interoperability from the FDT Group, so you can
rest assured that it will work with any FDT/DTM-compliant host or asset management solution.
In addition, ValveSight has also been exhaustively tested with major host providers so you can be confident
that it will work for you.
Finally, ValveSight has been designed to work over a variety of protocols and has received independent
certification from the relative standards associations for each.

Retrofittable
Using the Flowserve D3 digital positioner and our enormous selection of mounting brackets and hardware,
the D3 with ValveSight can retrofit to almost any application you have.

Unique Graphical User Interface (GUI)

ValveSight allows users at all levels of experience or technical sophistication to be able to use the solution­
– no matter what kind of control valve is being used.
ValveSight uses a dashboard-like interface that does not require the user to navigate alarms to understand the
health of the device. It has been specially designed to communicate complex information simply and quickly.
Powerful, but Easy to Use.
ValveSight was designed with operators in mind. The graphical user interface offers these features:
• An intuitive navigation between functions
• Easily understandable names for views and parameters
• Online self-contained help functions and manuals to speed up the maintenance and repair process
• A common look and feel between different types of control valves and systems
Thanks to ValveSight’s color-coded health status, you can check the four key health parameters in one easy
glance at the main dashboard: Green = normal; Yellow = warning; Red = alarm. Plus, on the yellow bar,
you’ll find several stages, or degrees, upon which the warning and alarm reports are based.

ValveSight provides at-a-glance understanding

of asset health – not alarms.
 ValveSight Is Compatible with Most Hosts.
