Device Alerts

The DVC6200p digital valve controller provides a

comprehensive library of device alerts and fully

supports NAMUR NE 107. Using Emerson’s Human

Centered Design concept of the Device Dashboard

graphical user interface, device alerts are easily

accessed via a PROFIBUS configuration tool such as

Siemens PDM. When installed as part of a PROFIBUS

communicating system, the DVC6200p delivers

prompt notification of current issues directly on

the Overview Page and Alerts Summary Page (see

figure 2 and 3).

Alerts assist in identification and notifications, along

with recommended actions to resolve situations such

as the following:

• Valve travel deviation due to excessive valve friction

or galling

• High cycle due to dither or improper tuning
