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 1‐1) 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.

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 2‐1).
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 2‐1, the voltage available at the instrument depends upon:

D The logic solver or control system compliance voltage

D if a line conditioner filter or intrinsic safety barrier is used, and
D the 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.

NOTES:
1 Obtain filter voltage drop. The measured drop will be different than this value. The measured filter voltage drop
depends upon control system output voltage, the intrinsic safety barrier (if used), and the instrument. See note 2.
2 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 2‐2 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 2‐2, until the current observed on the
milliammeter begins to drop quickly.
4. Record the voltage shown on the voltmeter. This is the compliance voltage.

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 μs (per the HART specification).
Cmaster = the capacitance of the control system or HART filter
Ccable = the capacitance of the cable used (see table 2‐1)
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 locally‐mounted
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 μH/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 gold‐plated or sealed contacts.

LCP100 Local Control Panel

Installation
The Fisher LCP100 Local Control Panel has four (4) mounting holes for on‐site 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.
When installing the cover tighten the screws evenly in a criss‐cross pattern to a torque of 2.8 N•m (25 lbf•in) to help
ensure the cover is properly installed.

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.

Mode and Protection

Field Communicator Configure > Manual Setup > Mode and Protection (2‐2‐1)

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 (2‐2‐2)

Follow the prompts on the Field Communicator display to configure the following Instrument parameters:

Identification
D HART Tag—A tag name up to 8 characters is available for the instrument. The HART tag is the easiest way to
distinguish between instruments in a multi‐instrument 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 power‐up.

D HART Long Tag (HART Universal Revision 7 only)—A tag name up to 32 characters is available for the instrument.

D Description—Enter a description for the application with up to 16 characters. The description provides a longer
user‐defined electronic label to assist with more specific instrument identification than is available with the HART
tag.

D Message—Enter any message with up to 32 characters. Message provides the most specific user‐defined means for
identifying individual instruments in multi‐instrument environments.

D Polling Address—If the digital valve controller is used in point‐to‐point 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.

17
Configuration Instruction Manual
April 2016 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
D Instrument Serial Number—Enter the serial number on the instrument nameplate, up to 12 characters.

D Valve Serial Number—Enter the serial number for the valve in the application with up to 12 characters.

Units
D Pressure Units—Defines the output and supply pressure units in either psi, bar, kPa, or kg/cm2.

D Temperature Units—Degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. The temperature measured is from a sensor mounted on the
digital valve controller's printed wiring board.

D Analog Input Units—Permits defining the Analog Input Units in mA or percent of 4-20 mA range.

Terminal Box
D Calibration (CAL) Button—This 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.

D Auxiliary Terminal Action—These 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.

Spec Sheet
The Spec Sheet provides a means to store the entire control valve specifications on board the DVC6200 SIS.

Edit Instrument Time

Permits setting the instrument clock. When alerts are stored in the alert record, the record includes the time and date.
The instrument clock uses a 24‐hour format.

Instruction Manual Configuration
D103557X012 April 2016

Travel/Pressure Control
Field Communicator Configure > Manual Setup > Travel/Pressure Control (2‐2-3)

End Point Pressure Control (EPPC)

D EPPC Enable—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.

D EPPC Set Point—Used 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 fail‐closed valve, this
pressure must be sufficient to maintain the fully open position. For a fail‐open 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 double‐acting 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 double‐acting
actuator without springs with a fail‐close valve, this is 95% of the supply pressure. If the valve is fail‐open, the upper
operating pressure for all actuator is set to the supply pressure.

D EPPC Saturation Time—End 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
D Input 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 3‐1 or you can select a custom characteristic. Figure 3‐1 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.
D Custom 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

19
Configuration Instruction Manual
April 2016 D103557X012

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
D SP Rate Open—Maximum 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.
D SP Rate Close—Maximum 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.
D Set 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
D Hi Cutoff Point—This 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.
D Lo Cutoff Point—This 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.

D Travel 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 3‐4 lists the proportional gain, velocity gain and minor loop feedback gain values for preselected tuning sets.

Configuration Instruction Manual
April 2016 D103557X012

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 3‐5 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.

D Proportional Gain—the proportional gain for the travel control tuning set. Changing this parameter will also change
the tuning set to Expert.

D Velocity Gain—the velocity gain for the travel control tuning set. Changing this parameter will also change the
tuning set to Expert.

D MLFB Gain—the minor loop feedback gain for the travel control tuning set. Changing this parameter will also change
the tuning set to Expert.

D Integral Enable—Yes 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.

D Integral Gain—Travel 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.

D Performance 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 sliding‐stem 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.

D Stabilize/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.

Integral Settings
D Integral Dead Zone—A 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%.

D Integrator Limit—The Integrator Limit provides an upper limit to the integrator output. The high limit is configurable
from 0 to 100% of the I/P drive signal.

Valve and Actuator

Field Communicator Configure > Manual Setup > Valve and Actuator (2‐2‐5)

Valve Style—Enter the valve style, rotary or sliding‐stem

Actuator Style—Enter the actuator style, spring and diaphragm, piston double‐acting without spring, piston
single‐acting with spring, or piston double‐acting with spring.

Feedback Connection—Refer to table 3‐6 for Feedback Connection options. Choose the assembly that matches the
actuator travel range.

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.

Special App: This is used in single‐acting applications where the “unused” output port is configured to read the
pressure downstream of a solenoid valve.
Lo Bleed: The label affixed to the relay body indicates whether it is a low bleed version.

Zero Power Condition—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 type, as shown in figure 3‐2.

Travel Sensor Motion

WARNING
If you answer YES to the prompt for permission to move the valve when determining travel sensor motion, the instrument
will move the valve through a significant portion of its travel range. 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.

Select Clockwise/Toward Bottom, or Counterclockwise/Toward Top. Travel Sensor Motion establishes the proper
travel sensor rotation. For quarter‐turn actuators determine rotation by viewing the rotation of the magnet assembly
from the back of the instrument.

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.

D For 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.

D For 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
shaft to turn counterclockwise, enter CCW/To Top Inst.

SIS/Partial Stroke Test

Field Communicator Configure > Manual Setup > SIS/Partial Stroke (2-2-6)

Partial Stroke Test (PST)

D PST 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.
Relay Type Pressure Signal
A or C Port A - Port B
B Port B - Port A
B Special App. Port B
C Special App. Port A
To manually set the partial stroke pressure limit, you must examine current partial stroke test results using ValveLink
software. The following steps will guide you through the process:
1. Connect the DVC6200 SIS to a system running ValveLink software.
2. Disable the following parameters:
D Travel Deviation Alert - set to 125%.
D End Point Pressure Control - disable
D Partial Stroke Pressure Limit - disable by setting the appropriate value shown in table 3‐7.

5. Enable the parameters that were previously disabled:

D Travel Deviation Alert - set to 1.5x the maximum travel deviation between travel set point and travel.
D End Point Pressure Control - enable
D Partial Stroke Pressure Limit - calculate the value using table 3‐8.

PST Enable—Yes or No. This enables or disables the Partial Stroke Test.

PST Start Point—Valve Open or Valve Closed. This defines the travel stop that the valve needs to be at before a partial
stroke test can be initiated. This 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.

PST Variables—Follow the prompts on the Field Communicator display to enter or view information for following PST
Variables:

D Max Travel Movement— This is the percentage of total span that the valve moves away from its normal operating
state towards its tripped state during the test. The default value is 10%.

D Test Speed—This is the rate at which the valve will move during the test. The default value is 0.25%/second.

D Pause Time—This is the pause time between the up and down strokes of the test. The default value is 5 seconds.

SIS Options
D Auto Test Interval—This 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.

D Loop­Initiated PST—When 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.

D Device Power Up Reset—This 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.

D Action on Failed Test—This displays the action taken by the instrument if a communication timeout occurs. Values
are Ramp Back or Step Back.

Outputs
Field Communicator Configure > Manual Setup > Outputs (2-2-6)

Output Terminal Configuration

D Output Terminal Enable—If using the output terminal for a Position Transmitter or Switch output, this must be
Enabled.

D Function—The output terminals can be configured as one of the following:

Transmitter - 4­20 mA output that represents 0­100% of the calibrated valve travel.
Limit Switch - Discrete switch (1A max) that trips at a configurable point within 0­100% of calibrated valve travel.
Alert Switch - Discrete switch (1A max) that trips based on a configurable device alert.
D Fail Signal—Should the output circuit fail to operate properly; the output will attempt to drive to a known state.
Depending on the nature of the failure, the circuit may or may not be able to achieve this fail state. When

30
Instruction Manual Configuration
D103557X012 April 2016

configured as a transmitter, the output can be configured to drive high (22.5 mA) or low (3.6 mA). When
configured as a switch, the output can be configured to drive Closed or Open.

Note
On loss of positioner power, the switch circuit will always go to the open state. However, on loss of positioner power, the
transmitter output will continue to operate as long as the transmitter circuit is still powered and functioning.

Switch Configuration
D Limit Switch Trip Point—When the function is configured as a Limit Switch, this defines the threshold for the limit
switch in percent of calibrated travel.

D Alert Switch Source—When the function is configured as a Alert Switch, this determines which alert will activate the
switch. The alert choices are: Travel Deviation, Valve Stuck, LCP Tripped, SIS Diagnostic Credit, or Diagnostic in
Progress.

D Switch Closed—This configures the action of the switch. The choices are: Below Trip Point / Alert Not Active or
Above Trip Point / Alert Active.

HART Variable Assignments

Instrument variables can be reported via four different HART variable assignments. The Primary Variable is always
configured as Analog Input. However, the remaining three variables have additional options as listed below.

Primary Variable (PV) Analog Input

Secondary Variable (SV) Travel, Travel Setpoint, Pressure A, Pressure B, Pressure A­B, Supply Pressure,
Drive Signal, or Analog Input
Tertiary Variable (TV) Travel, Travel Setpoint, Pressure A, Pressure B, Pressure A­B, Supply Pressure,
Drive Signal, or Analog Input
Quaternary Variable (QV) Travel, Travel Setpoint, Pressure A, Pressure B, Pressure A­B, Supply Pressure,
Drive Signal, or Analog Input

Transmitter Output
This configures the relationship between the valve travel and the position transmitter output signal. There are two
choices; 4mA = Valve Closed or 4mA = Valve Open.

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.

D Burst Enable—This turns on or off the burst mode.

31
Configuration Instruction Manual
April 2016 D103557X012

D Burst Command—This defines which HART command is configured for burst reporting. There are three options to
choose from. When using a Tri­Loop, select the third option.
- Analog Input (Command 1)
- Loop Current / Travel (Command 2)
- Loop Current / PV / SV / TV / QV (Command 3)

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 (2‐3)

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 3‐2. Some alerts can be configured to shutdown
the instrument. Refer to table 3‐9 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.

Field Communicator Configure > Calibration (2-4)

Auto Travel Calibration - see page 36

Manual Travel Calibration - see page 37

Pushbutton Calibration - see page 38

Pressure Sensor Calibration - see page 39

Analog Input Calibration - see page 40

Relay Adjustment - see page 41

PST Calibration - see page 43

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
If a double‐acting 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 41.

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 4‐1 for error messages and possible remedies.

Table 4‐1. Auto Calibrate Travel Error Messages

Error Message Possible Problem and Remedy

If another adjustment is required, repeat step 5. Otherwise, select Done and go to step 6.
6. From the adjustment menu, select the direction and size of change required to set the travel to 5%.
If another adjustment is required, repeat step 6. Otherwise, select Done and go to step 7.
7. From the adjustment menu, select the direction and size of change required to set the travel to 95%.
If another adjustment is required, repeat step 7. Otherwise, select Done and go to step 8.
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.

Relay Adjustment
Before beginning travel calibration, check the relay adjustment. Replace the digital valve controller cover when
finished.

Note
Relay B and C are not user‐adjustable.

Double‐Acting Relay
The double‐acting relay is designated by “Relay A” on a label affixed to the relay itself. For double‐acting actuators, the
valve must be near mid‐travel to properly adjust the relay. The Field Communicator will automatically position the
valve when Relay Adjust is selected.

Rotate the adjustment disc, shown in figure 4‐1, until the output pressure displayed on the Field Communicator is
between 50 and 70% of supply pressure. This adjustment is very sensitive. Be sure to allow the pressure reading to
stabilize before making another adjustment (stabilization may take up to 30 seconds or more for large actuators).

Low bleed relay stabilization may take approximately two minutes longer than the standard relay.

Instrument alerts, when enabled, detect many operational and performance issues that may be of interest. If there are
no alerts currently active, this display will be empty.

Alert Record
The DVC6200 SIS will store 20 alerts. Once the alert record is full, no additional alerts will be stored until the record is
cleared.

Below is a list of the alerts that can be detected by the instrument. To enable or disable the alerts, navigate to
Configure > Alert Setup.

D Offline/Failed Alert—This alert is active if a shutdown alert has put the device in a failed state and is therefore not
controlling the input. Press Enter to view the alert(s) that caused the shutdown.

Electronics
D Drive Current Failure—This alert is active when the drive current to the I/P converter is not flowing as expected. If
this alert occurs, check the connection between the I/P converter and the printed wiring board assembly. Try
removing the I/P converter and re­installing it. If the alert does not clear, replace the I/P converter or the printed
wiring board assembly.

D Drive Signal Alert—This alert monitors the drive signal and calibrated travel. If one of the following conditions exists
for more than 20 seconds, the alert is set.

For the case where Zero Power Condition is defined as closed:

Drive Signal < 10% and Calibrated Travel > 3%
Drive Signal > 90% and Calibrated Travel < 97%

For the case where Zero Power Condition is defined as open:

Drive Signal < 10% and Calibrated Travel < 97%
Drive Signal > 90% and Calibrated Travel > 3%

D Non­Critical NVM Alert—This alert is active if there is a failure associated with NVM (non­volatile memory) that is not
critical for instrument operation. If this alert is active, restart the instrument. If the alert persists, replace the printed
wiring board assembly.

D Critical NVM Failure—This alert is active if there is a failure associated with NVM that is critical for instrument
operation. If this alert is active, restart the instrument. If the alert persists, replace the printed wiring board
assembly.

D Flash Integrity Failure—This alert is active if there is a failure associated with flash ROM (read only memory). If this

Instruction Manual Device Information, Diagnostics, and Alerts
D103557X012 April 2016

D Variable Out of Range—This alert is active if one or more of the measured analog sensor readings (loop current,
pressure, temperature, or travel) is saturated or reading out of its configured range. The condition may be due to
improper configuration or physical setup and not be due to a sensor malfunction.

D Field Device Malfunction—This alert is active if the pressure, position, or temperature sensors are providing invalid
readings.

D Internal Sensor Out of Limits—This alert is active if there is a problem with either the pressure sensor or the printed
wiring board assembly.

D Travel Sensor Failure—This alert is active if the sensed travel is outside the range of ­25.0 to 125.0% of calibrated
travel. If this alert is active, check the instrument mounting. Also, check that the electrical connection from the
travel sensor is properly plugged into the printed wiring board assembly. After restarting the instrument, if the alert
persists, troubleshoot the printed wiring board assembly or travel sensor.

D Temperature Sensor Failure—This alert is active when the instrument temperature sensor fails, or the sensor reading
is outside of the range of ­60 to 100°C (­76 to 212°F). The temperature reading is used internally for temperature
compensation of inputs. If this alert is active, restart the instrument. If the alert persists, replace the printed wiring
board assembly.

D Pressure Sensor Failure—This alert is active if any of the 3 pressure sensor readings are outside the range of ­24.0 to
125.0% of the calibrated pressure for more than 60 seconds. If this alert is active, check the instrument supply
pressure, ensure the printed wiring board assembly is properly mounted onto the module base assembly, and
ensure the pressure sensor o­rings are properly installed. If the alert persists after restarting the instrument, replace
the printed wiring board assembly.

D Minor Loop Sensor Alert—This alert is active if the pneumatic relay position reading is outside the valid range. If the
alert persists, replace the printed wiring board.

D Loop Current Validation Alert—This alert is active if the loop current is significantly out of range, or if there is a
problem with the analog circuit electronics. If this alert is active, restart the instrument with the loop current
verified to be in the 4­20 mA range. If the alert persists, replace the printed wiring board.

Note
If the control system is known to output current 24 mA or above, Shutdown on Loop Current Validation should not be enabled.

D Output Circuit Communication Failure—This alert is active if the output circuit is not responding. If configured as a
position transmitter output, first make sure the transmitter circuit is powered. If the alert persists, make sure the
DIP switch on the main electronics matches the configuration of the OUT terminals. If the alert is still active, replace
the main electronics.

D Instrument Time is Approximate Alert—This alert is active if the instrument has been powered down since the last
time the instrument clock was set. To clear the alert, reset the instrument time.

D SIS Program Flow Failure—This alert is active if the firmware is not performing the expected series of calculations.

D SIS Hardware Failure—This alert is active if a demand has occurred, but the electronics hardware failed to take
control of the I/P drive.

D LCP Communication Failure—This alert is active if the AUX terminals are configured for use with the local control
panel, but communication between the DVC6200 SIS and LCP is not occurring.

Pressure
D Supply Pressure Alert—This alert is active if the supply pressure falls below the supply pressure alert point.

D End Point Pressure Deviation Alert—This alert is active if the instrument is in pressure control and the pressure is not
tracking the set point within the configured deviation allowance.

Travel

Note
The Travel Alert Deadband applies to the Travel Deviation Alert as well as the Travel Alert Hi, Lo, Hi Hi, and Lo Lo.

D Travel Deviation Alert—If the difference between the Travel Target and the Travel 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 between the travel target and the Travel is less than the Travel Deviation Alert Point minus the Travel
Alert Deadband.

D Travel Alert Hi—This alert is active when the Travel exceeds the Travel Alert Hi Point. Once the alert is active, the
alert will clear when the Travel falls below the Travel Alert Hi Point minus the Travel Alert Deadband. See figure 5‐1.

D Travel Alert Lo Lo—This alert is active when the Travel is below the Travel Alert Lo Lo Point. Once the alert is active,
the alert will clear when the Travel exceeds the Travel Alert Lo Lo Point plus the Travel Alert Deadband.

D Travel Cutoff Hi Alert—This alert is active when the Travel exceeds the Hi Cutoff Point.

D Travel Cutoff Lo Alert—This alert is active when the Travel falls below the Lo Cutoff Point.

D Integrator Saturated High Alert—This alert is active if the instrument integrator is saturated at the high extreme.

D Integrator Saturated Low Alert—This alert is active if the instrument integrator is saturated at the low extreme.

D Pressure Fallback Active Alert—This alert is active when the instrument has detected a problem with the travel
feedback and is now controlling the output like an I/P transducer.

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.

D Valve Stuck—A 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
D Cycle Count High Alert—This 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.

D Travel Accumulator High Alert—This 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 5‐2.

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.

D Automatic (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.

D Local 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 double‐acting spring assist
piston actuators.

Perform the following steps to confirm valve operation:

D Point‐to‐Point 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 single‐acting direct relay A and C. If single‐acting reverse relay B is used adjust the current from 4
mA (normal state) to 20 mA (trip state).

D Multi‐drop Mode (DVC6200 SIS is powered by a 24 VDC power source)

If the DVC6200 SIS is pneumatically in series with a solenoid valve, and shares a single power source,
1. Disconnect power to both devices. The valve should go to its “fail safe” position.
If the DVC6200 SIS is pneumatically in series with a solenoid valve, with independent power sources,
1. Connect a 24 VDC power supply to the solenoid valve and a second 24 VDC power supply to the DVC6200 SIS.
2. Disconnect the solenoid valve power supply, but maintain the power supply to the DVC6200 SIS. The valve
should go to its “fail safe” position quickly.
3. Maintain the power supply to the solenoid valve and disconnect the DVC6200 SIS power supply. The valve
should go to its “fail safe” position, although not as quickly as it does in the previous scenario.
If DVC6200 SIS is alone, without a solenoid valve,
1. Disconnect power to the digital valve controller. The valve should go to its “fail safe” position.

Note
The above tests are applicable for single‐acting direct relay A and C.

Solenoid Valve Health Monitoring

The following steps assume the use of a single‐acting actuator with a solenoid valve installed. The DVC6200 SIS digital
valve controller, with single‐acting, 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 de‐energized.
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.

D103557X012 April 2016

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:
D Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear.
D Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
D Disconnect 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.
D Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure. Relieve process pressure
from both sides of the valve.
D Use lock‐out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
D Vent 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:
D Remove 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.
D Remove electrical power before disconnecting any of the pneumatic connections.
D When 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

57
Maintenance and Troubleshooting Instruction Manual
April 2016 D103557X012

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.
D Ensure 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 1‐1, 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

D103557X012 April 2016

Appendix A Principle of OperationAA−A

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 two‐wire loop that provides
the 4‐20 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 4‐20 mA current signal. These frequencies represent the digits 1 and 0 (see figure A‐1). 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 4‐20 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 6‐2 for instructions on changing the printed wiring board DIP switch configuration to multidrop.

DVC6200 SIS Digital Valve Controller

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 A‐3 and A‐4.

FIELD TERM.

E1362

DVC6200 SIS digital valve controllers are loop‐powered instruments that provide a control valve position proportional
to an input signal from the control room. The following describes a double‐acting 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 double‐acting and single‐acting direct applications.
The output B pressure is used for double‐acting and single‐acting reverse applications. As shown in figure A‐3 the
increased output A pressure causes the actuator stem to move downward. Stem position is sensed by the non‐contact
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.
