Features

Reliability

• Linkage‐Less Non‐Contact Position Feedback— The

high performance, linkage‐less feedback system

eliminates physical contact between the valve stem

and the DVC6200p. There are no wearing parts so

cycle life is maximized.

• Built to Survive—The field proven DVC6200p

instrument has fully encapsulated electronics that

resist the effects of vibration, temperature, and

corrosive atmospheres. A weather‐tight wiring

terminal box isolates field wiring connections from

other areas of the instrument.

Performance

• Accurate and Responsive— The two‐stage positioner

design provides quick response to large step

changes and precise control for small setpoint

changes.

• Travel Control/Pressure Fallback— Valve position

feedback is critical to the operation of the digital

valve controller. The DVC6200p can detect position

feedback problems and automatically revert to I/P

transducer mode to keep the valve operational.

Ease of Use

• Enhanced Safety— The DVC6200p is a PROFIBUS PA

communicating device, so information can be

accessed anywhere along the loop. This flexibility

can reduce exposure to hazardous environments

and make it easier to evaluate valves in hard to

reach locations.

• 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.

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.
