Fisher™ FIELDVUE™ DVC6200p Digital Valve Controller

The FIELDVUE DVC6200p digital valve controller is a

PROFIBUS PA communicating instrument that

converts a digital control signal into a pneumatic

output to an actuator. It can easily be retrofitted in

place of existing analog positioners on most Fisher and

non‐Fisher pneumatic actuators.

• Fast Commissioning— PROFIBUS communication

allows you to quickly commission loops remotely

using the PROFIBUS configuration tool with the

DVC6200p Electronic Device Description (EDD).

The DVC6200p can also be locally

calibrated/commissioned by shorting the auxiliary

terminal located in the terminal box.

• Easy Maintenance— The DVC6200p digital valve

controller is modular in design. Critical working

components can be replaced without removing

field wiring or pneumatic tubing.

• Stroke Valve— The Stroke Valve Test is used to

confirm proper valve operation. It helps to validate

the auto‐calibration after guided setup is complete.

Self Test Failures for Instrument Shutdown

Upon shutdown, the instrument attempts to drive its output pressure to the zero current

condition and no longer executes its control function. In addition, the appropriate failure

statuses are set. Once the problem that caused the shutdown has been fixed, the instrument

can be restarted by cycling the power or selecting Restart from the Mode menu of the

handheld communicator. Also see the Viewing Instrument Status section on page 35 for

further details about failures.

Follow the prompts on the handheld communicator display to determine the self test

shutdown criteria from the following:

• Done – Select this if you are done modifying the self test shutdown criteria.

• Flash ROM Fail – When enabled, the instrument shuts down whenever there is a failure

associated with flash ROM (read only memory).

• Temp Comp Fail – When enabled, the instrument shuts down whenever this is a failure

associated with Temperature Compensation.

• Ref Voltage Fail – When enabled, the instrument shuts down whenever there is a failure

associated with the internal voltage reference.

• Drive Current Fail – When enabled, the instrument shuts down whenever the drive current

does not read as expected.

• NVM Fail – When enabled, the instrument shuts down whenever there is a failure

associated with NVM (non-volatile memory).

• Temp Sensor Fail – When enabled, the instrument shuts down whenever there is a failure

associated with the internal temperature sensor.

• Press Sensor Fail – When enabled, the instrument shuts down whenever there is a failure

associated with the pressure sensor.

• Travel Sensor Fail – When enabled, the instrument shuts down whenever there is a failure

associated with the travel sensor.

Measured Variable Units and Ranges

Follow the prompts on the handheld communicator to define the following measured variables

units and ranges:

• Analog In Units – Permits defining the Analog Input Units in mA or percent of

4 to 20 mA range.

• Input Range Hi – Permits setting the Input Range High value. Input Range High should

correspond to Travel Range High, if the Zero Control Signal is configured as closed. If the

Zero Control Signal is configured as open, Input Range High corresponds to Travel Range

Low. See Figure 1.

• Input Range Lo – Permits setting the Input Range Low value. Input Range Low should

correspond to Travel Range Low if the Zero Control Signal is configured as closed. If the

Zero Control Signal is configured as open Input Range Low corresponds to Travel Range

High. See Figure 1.

• Pressure Units – Defines the output and supply pressure units in either psi, bar or kPa.

• LUI Pressure Units – Enter the pressure units displayed on the local user interface; psi, bar

or kPa.

• Temp Units – Degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. The temperature measured is from a sensor

mounted on the digital valve controller’s printed wiring board.

Command 3 provides the following variables:

• Primary variable – analog input in % or mA

• Secondary variable – travel target (valve set point) in % of ranged travel

• Tertiary variable – output pressure in psig, bar or kPa

• Quaternary variable – travel in % of ranged travel

To enable burst mode, select Mode > Burst > Burst Enable. To send a burst mode command,

select Burst Command. Burst mode must be enabled before you can change the burst

mode command.

For the handheld 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.

• LUI Language – Select the language to be displayed on the local user interface; English,

French, German, Italian, Spanish, Chinese or Japanese.

General Information

Follow the prompts on the handheld communicator to enter or view information in the

following fields:

• HART Tag – Enter an up to 8 character HART tag 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.

• 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.

• Descriptor – Enter a descriptor for the application with up to 16 characters. The descriptor

provides a longer user-defined electronic label to assist with more specific instrument

identification than is available with the HART tag.

• Date – Enter a date with the format MM/DD/YY. Date is a user-defined variable that provides

a place to save the date of the last revision of configuration or calibration information.

• Valve Serial Num – Enter the serial number for the valve in the application with up to

12 characters.

• Inst Serial Num – Enter the serial number on the instrument nameplate, up to

12 characters.

• 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 15. To change the polling address, the instrument must be

Out Of Service.
