Instrument Description
DVC6200f digital valve controllers for FOUNDATION
fieldbus are communicating, microprocessor-based
instruments. In addition to the traditional function of
converting a digital signal to a pneumatic output
pressure, the DVC6200f digital valve controller, using
FOUNDATION fieldbus communications protocol, gives
easy access to information critical to process
operation as well as process control. This can be done
using a DeltaV console, another FOUNDATION fieldbus
system console, or with ValveLink software version
10.2 or later.
Using a compatible fieldbus configuration device, you
can obtain information about the health of the
instrument, the actuator, and the valve. You can also
obtain asset information about the actuator or valve
manufacturer, model, and serial number. You can set
input and output configuration parameters and
calibrate the instrument.
Figure 1-1 FIELDVUE DVC6200f Digital Valve Controller
Mounted on a Fisher Sliding-Stem Valve Actuator
Using the FOUNDATION fieldbus protocol, information
from the instrument can be integrated into control
systems.
DVC6200f digital valve controllers can be mounted on
single or double-acting sliding-stem actuators, as
shown in figure 1-1, or on rotary actuators. It can also
be integrally mounted to the Fisher GX control valve
and actuator system, as shown in figure 1-2. The
DVC6200f mounts on most Fisher and other
manufacturers’ rotary and sliding-stem actuators.
DVC62000f digital valve controllers are available with
several selections of control and diagnostic capability.
Control selections include:
Standard Control (SC)— Digital valve
controllers with Standard Control have the AO, PID,
ISEL, OS, AI, MAI, DO, and four DI function blocks in
addition to the resource and transducer blocks.
Fieldbus Control (FC)—Digital valve controllers
with Fieldbus Control have the AO function block in
addition to the resource and transducer blocks.
Fieldbus Logic (FL)—Digital valve controllers
with Fieldbus Logic have the DO, and four DI function
blocks, in addition to the resource and transducer
block.
The diagnostic capabilities include:

Introduction and Specifications
Function Blocks
In addition to the resource and transducer block, the
digital valve controller may contain the following
function blocks. For additional information on function
blocks, refer to Appendix D, FOUNDATION fieldbus
Communication.
Analog Output (AO) Function Block—The
analog output function block accepts the output from
another function block (such as a PID block) and
transfers it as an actuator control signal to the
transducer block. If the DO block is selected, the AO
block is not functional.
Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID)
Function Block—The PID function block performs
Input Selector (ISEL) Function Block—The
input selector function block selects from up to four
inputs and may provide the selected signal as input to
the PID block. The input selection can be configured
to select the first good input signal; a maximum,
minimum or average value; or a hot spare.
Output Splitter (OS) Function Block—The
output splitter function block accepts the output from
another function block (such as a PID block) and
creates two outputs that are scaled or split, according
to the user configuration. This block is typically used
for split ranging of two control valves.
Analog Input (AI) Function Block—The analog
input function block monitors the signal from a
DVC6200f sensor or internal measurement and
provides it to another block.
1
Instrument Blocks
The digital valve controller is a block-based device.
For detailed information on the blocks within the digital
valve controller, see the Detailed Setup section of this
manual.
The DVC6200f digital valve controller includes the
resource and transducer block:
Resource Block—The resource block contains
the hardware specific characteristics associated with a
device; it has no input or output parameters. The
resource block monitors and controls the general
operation of other blocks within the device. For
example, when the mode of the resource block is Out
of Service, it impacts all function blocks.
Transducer Block—The transducer block
connects the analog output function block to the I/P
converter, relay, and travel sensor hardware within the
digital valve controller.
November 2010
Multiple Analog Input (MAI) Function
Block—The Multiple Analog Input (MAI) function block
has the ability to process up to eight DVC6200f
measurements and make them available to other
function blocks.
Discrete Output (DO) Function Block—The
discrete output function block processes a discrete set
point and sends it to a specified output channel, which
can be transferred to the transducer block for actuator
control. In the digital valve controller, the discrete
output block provides both normal open/closed control
and the ability to position the valve in 5% increments
for course throttling applications. If the AO block is
selected, the DO block is not functional.
Discrete Input (DI) Function Block—The
discrete input function block processes a single
discrete input from a DVC6200f and makes it available
to other function blocks. In the digital valve controller,
the discrete input function block can provide limit
switch functionality and valve position proximity
detection.

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
DVC6200f housing) has to remain
within this range throughout the entire
valve travel. See figure 2-3. The linear
magnet assemblies are symmetrical.
Either end may be up.
The magnet assembly material has
been specifically chosen to provide a
long-term stable magnetic field.
However, as with any magnet, care
must be taken when handling the
magnet assembly. Another high
powered magnet placed in close
proximity (less than 25 mm) can cause
permanent damage. Potential sources
of damaging equipment include, but
are not limited to: transformers, DC
motors, stacking magnet assemblies.

Note
Mounting the instrument vertically,
with the vent at the bottom of the
assembly, or horizontally, with the
vent pointing down, is recommended
to allow drainage of moisture that may
be introduced via the instrument air
supply.

WARNING
Not all DVC6200f digital valve
controllers are suitable for use with
natural gas as the supply medium. If
using natural gas as the supply
medium, the DVC6200f must be Gas
Certified. Using natural gas as the
supply medium in a non-certified
instrument can result in personal
injury or property damage.
Gas Certified instruments can be
identified by the natural gas approval
label shown in figure 2-6. Contact
your Emerson Process Management
sales office for information on
obtaining a Gas Certified DVC6200f
digital valve controller.
Note
Make pressure connections to the
digital valve controller using tubing
with at least 10 mm (3/8-inch) diameter.
Supply
The DVC6200f can be used with air as the supply
medium. In addition, Gas Certified DVC6200f
constructions can be used with natural gas as the
supply medium. If using natural gas as the pneumatic
supply medium, natural gas will be used in the
pneumatic output connections of the DVC6200f to any
connected equipment. In normal operation the unit will
vent the supply medium into the surrounding
atmosphere unless it is remotely vented.
16
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or
property damage resulting from
bursting or parts, do not exceed
maximum supply pressure.
Personal injury or property
damage may result 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: Remote venting of the unit,
re-evaluating the hazardous area
classification, ensuring adequate
ventilation, and the removal of any
ignition sources. For information on
remote venting of this controller, refer
to page 18.
November 2010
Installation
Severe personal injury or property
damage may occur from an
uncontrolled process if the instrument
supply medium is not clean, dry,
oil-free, and noncorrosive. While use
and regular maintenance of a filter that
removes particles larger than 40
micrometers in diameter will suffice in
most applications, check with an
Emerson Process Management field
office and industry instrument air
quality standards for use with
corrosive air or if you are unsure about
the amount of air filtration or filter
maintenance.
Supply pressure must be clean, dry air that meets the
requirements of ISA Standard 7.0.01. A maximum 40
micrometer particle size in the air system is
acceptable. Further filtration down to 5 micrometer
particle size is recommended. Lubricant content is not
to exceed 1 ppm weight (w/w) or volume (v/v) basis.
Condensation in the air supply should be minimized.
controller (relay B) on a single-acting actuator, connect
OUTPUT B to the actuator diaphragm casing.
Double-Acting Actuators
DVC6200f digital valve controllers on double-acting
actuators always use relay A. With no instrument
Fieldbus power (Zero Power Condition) OUTPUT A is
at 0 pressure and OUTPUT B is at full supply pressure
when the relay is properly adjusted. To have the
actuator stem extend from the cylinder with increasing
input signal, connect OUTPUT A to the upper actuator
cylinder connection. Connect OUTPUT B to the lower
cylinder connection. To have the actuator stem retract
into the cylinder with increasing input signal, connect
OUTPUT A to the lower actuator cylinder connection.
Connect OUTPUT B to the upper cylinder connection.
Special Construction to Support Solenoid
Valve Testing

Alternatively, natural gas may be used as the supply
pressure medium in Gas Certified DVC6200f digital
valve controllers. Gas must be clean, dry, oil-free, and
noncorrosive. H2S content should not exceed 20 ppm.
If you are using a 67CFR filter regulator with standard
5 micrometer filter, connect the supply line to the 1/4
NPT IN connection and attach tubing from the output
connection on the filter regulator to the SUPPLY
connection on the instrument. If you are using an
integral mounted 67CFR filter regulator, connect the
supply to the IN connection on the regulator.
Output Connection
A factory mounted digital valve controller has its
output piped to the supply connection on the actuator.
If mounting the digital valve controller in the field,
connect the 1/4 NPT digital valve controller output
connection to the pneumatic actuator input connection.
Single-Acting Actuators
When using a single-acting direct digital valve
controller (relay A or C) on a single-acting actuator,
connect OUTPUT A to the actuator pneumatic input.
When using a single-acting reverse digital valve
Note
Solenoid valve testing is only available
for instrument level PD.
In single-acting actuator applications with a solenoid
valve installed, the DVC6200f can be configured to
monitor the health of the solenoid valve test, which is
initiated by the Logic Solver. This is accomplished by
connecting the unused output port B from the
DVC6200f to the pneumatic monitoring line between
the solenoid valve and the actuator, as shown in figure
2-7. When single-acting, direct relay C is installed, the
“unused” output port is port B. When single-acting,
reverse relay B is used, the unused port is port A.
Note
This application is called “special
application” in the Setup Wizard relay
selection.
This configuration is not possible with
a double-acting actuator or when
using relay A in single-acting mode.
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
This unit vents the supply medium
into the surrounding atmosphere.
When installing this unit in a
non-hazardous (non-classified)
location in a confined area, with
natural gas as the supply medium,
you must remotely vent this unit to a
safe location. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or property
damage from fire or explosion, and
area re-classification.
When installing this unit in a
hazardous (classified) location remote
venting of the unit may be required,
depending upon the area
classification, and as specified by the
requirements of local, regional, and
SPRING RETURN ACTUATOR
federal codes, rules and regulations.
Failure to do so when necessary could
result in personal injury or property
damage from fire or explosion, and
area re-classification.
Vent line piping should comply with
local and regional codes, should be as
short as possible with a minimum
inside diameter of 12.7 mm (1/2-inch),
and few bends to reduce case pressure
buildup.
In addition to remote venting of the
unit, ensure that all caps and covers
are correctly installed. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury or
property damage from fire or
explosion, and area re-classification.
The relay constantly bleeds a small amount of supply
medium into the area under the cover. The vent
opening, located below the wiring terminal box on the
side of the housing, should be left open to prevent
pressure buildup under the cover. If a remote vent is
required, the vent lines must be as short as possible
with a minimum number of bends and elbows.
To connect a remote vent, remove the plastic vent.
The vent connection is 3/8 NPT. At a minimum, 12.7
mm (1/2-inch) tubing should be used when installing a
remote vent to prevent excessive pressure from
building up under the cover.

DVC6200f Digital Valve Controller
Commissioning T ag
The DVC6200f digital valve controller is supplied with
a removable paper commissioning tag, shown in figure
2-10. This tag contains both the device ID and a space
to record the device’s tag number. The device ID is a
unique code that identifies a particular device in the
absence of a device tag. The device tag is used as an
operational identification for the device and is usually
defined by the piping and instrumentation diagram
2
(P&ID).
When commissioning more than one device on a
fieldbus segment, identifying which device is at a
particular location can be tedious without tags. The
removable tag provided with the digital valve controller
can be used to link the device ID and the physical
installation location. The installer should note the
physical location in both places on the removable
commissioning tag and tear off the bottom portion.
This should be done for each device on the segment.
The bottom portion of the tags can be used for
commissioning the segment in the control system.
Prior to commissioning, the device ID is displayed by
the host system if no device tag is configured in the
digital valve controller electronics. Typically the
placeholder displays the device tag. The information
on the paper tag enables the engineer to match the
device ID to the correct placeholder.
As an ordering option, the factory can enter a device
tag into the digital valve controller electronics during

the device tag is displayed at the host system prior to
commissioning rather than the device ID. This makesthe job of commissioning the device easier.

factory defaults, the setup parameters listed in the
table remain at their previous settings.
Typically Device Setup determines the required setup
information based upon the actuator manufacturer and
model specified. However, if you enter OTHER for the
actuator manufacturer or the actuator model, then you
will be prompted for setup parameters such as:
Actuator Style—Select spring & diaphragm,
piston double-acting without spring, piston
single-acting with spring, piston double-acting with
spring.
controllers, disconnecting the instrument from the
segment is the same as setting the output B pressure
to supply.)
WARNING
If you answer YES to the prompt for
permission to move the valve when
setting the Travel Sensor Motion, the
instrument will move the valve
through its full travel range. 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 Sensor Motion—Device Setup asks if it
can move the valve to determine travel sensor
assembly motion. If you answer Yes, the instrument
will stroke the valve the full travel span to determine
travel sensor motion. If you answer No, then you must
specify the direction of travel movement. For
quarter-turn actuators determine rotation by viewing
the end of the actuator shaft.
For instruments with relay A or C If increasing air
pressure at output A causes the magnet assembly to
move up, or the actuator shaft to rotate
counterclockwise, enter “Towards Top of
Instrument/CCW.” If it causes the magnet assembly to
move down, or the actuator shaft to rotate clockwise,
enter “Away From Top of Instrument/CW.” For
instruments with relay B.
For instruments with relay B If decreasing air
pressure at output B causes the magnet assembly to
move up, or the actuator shaft to rotate
counterclockwise, enter “Towards Top of
Instrument/CCW.” If it causes the magnet assembly to
move down, or the actuator shaft to rotate clockwise,
enter “Away From Top of Instrument/CW.”
Valve Style—Select the valve style, rotary or
sliding-stem.
Zero Power Condition—this identifies whether the
valve is fully open or fully closed when the input is 0%.
If you are unsure how to set this parameter,
disconnect the instrument from the segment. (With
double-acting and single-acting direct digital valve
controllers, disconnecting the instrument from the
segment is the same as setting the output A pressure
to zero. For single-acting reverse digital valve

Note
Relay A adjustment may be required
before Device Setup can determine
travel sensor motion. Follow the
prompts on the Field Communicator
display if relay adjustment is
necessary.

Table 3-2 lists the required Travel Sensor Motion
selections for Fisher and Baumann actuators.
Tuning Set—There are twelve tuning sets to
choose from. Each tuning set provides a preselected
value for the digital valve controller gain settings.
Tuning set B provides the slowest response and M
provides the fastest response. For smaller actuators
use tuning set C or D. For larger actuators using
tuning set F or G. Table 3-3 lists the values for
preselected tuning sets.
Note
Tuning set B is only available in
Pressure Control Mode.
WARNING
Changes to the tuning set may cause
the valve/actuator assembly to stroke.
To avoid personal injury or property
damage caused by moving parts,
keep hands, tools, and other objects
away from the valve/actuator
assembly.
In addition, you can select User Adjusted or Expert,
which allows you to modify tuning of the digital valve
controller. With User Adjusted you can specify the
proportional gain. An algorithm in the Field
Communicator calculates the other gains. With Expert
you can specify not only the proportional gain but the
velocity and minor loop feedback gain as well.
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
expert tuning.
Table 3-2 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, use
Stabilize/Optimize to adjust the tuning set to get the
desired response.
For an actuator not listed in the table, you can
estimate a starting tuning set by calculating the casing
or cylinder volume. Then, in the table, find an actuator
with the closest equivalent volume and use the tuning
set suggested for that actuator.

DVC6200f Digital Valve Controller
When Device Setup is complete you are asked if you
wish to run Auto Calibration now. Select yes to
automatically calibrate instrument travel at this time.
Follow the prompts on the Field Communicator
display. The calibration procedure uses the valve and
actuator stops as the 0% and 100% calibration points.
For additional information, refer to Auto Calibration in
the Calibration section.
3
Single-acting relay B and C are not
user-adjustable. However, it is
recommended that you check the relay
adjustment for double-acting relay A in
new installations before proceeding
with travel calibration.
Refer to page 201 for relay adjustment
instructions.
If after completing setup and calibration the valve
cycles or overshoots (unstable), or is unresponsive
(sluggish), you can improve operation by running
Performance Tuner or Stabilize/Optimize.
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 will move the valve slightly
and monitor the effects of small tuning changes until
an optimum control response is achieved. 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.
The resource block contains the hardware specific
characteristics associated with a device; it has no
input or output parameters. The resource block
monitors and controls the general operation of other
blocks within the device. Most of the resource block
parameters are operational parameters that provide
information about the instrument such as identification,
hardware information, available options, etc. and are
read only. Configuration of the resource block involves
selecting features from those that are available,
setting the mode, setting write lock, and setting up
alert reporting details.
The following procedures address only the key
4
resource block parameters; however, all resource
block parameters are listed in table 4-3.
Configure/Setup
Write Lock
Field CommunicatorRB > Configure/Setup > Write Lock
Write Lock
Write Lock (WRITE_LOCK [34]) determines if writes
are permissible to other device parameters. The
Firmware Write Lock feature must be selected to be
able to use Write Lock (see Features). When Write
Lock is set to Locked, no writes are permitted to any
parameters within the device except to set Write Lock
to Not Locked. When locked, the device functions
normally, updating inputs and outputs and executing
algorithms. When Write Lock is set to Not Locked, the
Write Alarm (WRITE_ALM [40]) alert is active.
Write Priority
Write Priority (WRITE_PRI [39]) sets the priority for
Write Alarm. The lowest priority is 0. The highest is
The resource block can be in one of two modes
(MODE_BLK [5]):
Automatic (Auto)—This is the operational mode for
this block. When the resource block is in the Auto
mode, all other function blocks are allowed to function
normally.
Out of Service (OOS)—Placing the resource block
in Out of Service mode stops all function block
execution, by setting their modes to Out of Service as
well. The actual mode of the function blocks is
changed to Out of Service, but the function block
target modes are retained. Placing the resource block
in the Out of Service mode does not affect the mode
of the transducer block.
Note
Typically this parameter does not need
to be changed. The unit will be
operational using the default values
assigned by the factory. Perform this
procedure only if a remote computer is
sending setpoints from your
“advanced” control.
Default value for RCas Timeout is 20
seconds.
Shed Remote Cascade (SHED_RCAS [26])
determines how long function blocks in the DVC6200f
should wait before giving up on remote computer
writes to RCas parameters. When the timeout is
exceeded, the block sheds to the next mode as
defined by the block shed options. If Shed Remote
Cascade is set to 0, the block will not shed from RCas.
Enter a positive value in the Shed Remote Cascade
field. Time duration is in 1/32 milliseconds (640000 =
20 secs).

Shed Remote Out (SHED_ROUT [27]) determine how
long function blocks in the DVC6200f should wait
before giving up on computer writes to ROut
parameters. When the timeout is exceeded, the block
sheds to the next mode as defined by the block shed
options. If Shed Remote Out is set to 0, the block will
not shed from ROut. Enter a positive value in the Shed

that contains the Device Description for this
resource.
Data Type: Unsigned32
Manufacturer identification number, used by an
interface device or host to locate the DD file for
the resource. All manufacturer identification
numbers are maintained by the Fieldbus
Foundation. A host usually will have a base
directory for DD files. In this directory is a
subdirectory for each manufacturer id. In each
manufacturer id subdirectory is a directory for
each device type made by that manufacturer.
The device type directories contain files named
by combining the device revision for the
particular device type with the revision of the
device description. The manufacturer id for
Fisher is 0x005100.

Data Type: Unsigned32
Time duration of the shortest cycle interval (in
1/32 millisecond) of which the resource is
capable. In the digital valve controller this value
is fixed at 3200 (100 milliseconds).
Date Type: Unsigned16
Memory, in kilobytes, available for additional
function blocks. Because no additional function
blocks may be added to DVC6200f
instruments, this parameter value is fixed at 45.
Date Type: Unsigned32
This parameter identifies the minimum time
interval (in 1/32 milliseconds) between copies
of NV class data to NV memory. NV memory is
updated only if there has been a change in the
dynamic value. The last value saved in NV
memory will be available for the restart
procedure or a power cycle. A non-zero value
regulates the frequency of writes, thus
protecting the life span of the device. If the
value is zero, data will never be automatically
copied. Changes made by other than
publishing to NV parameters will be copied to
non-volatile memory immediately. For
DVC6200f instruments, this parameter value is
fixed at 576,000 (18 seconds).
Data Type: Float
Percent of memory available for additional
function blocks (see also MEMORY_SIZE).
Because no additional function blocks may be
added to DVC6200f instruments, this
parameter value is fixed at 0.
Data Type: Float
Percent of block processing time that is free to
process additional blocks. Because no
additional function blocks may be added to
DVC6200f instruments, this parameter value is
fixed at 0.
Date Type: Unsigned32
Time duration (in 1/32 millisecond) at which to
give up on computer writes to function block
RCAS parameters. If this time is exceeded
then the function block will change to a mode
other than RCAS based on the SHED_OPT
parameter setting. Shed from RCAS mode
never happens when SHED_RCAS is set to
zero.
Data Type: Unsigned32
Time duration (in 1/32 millisecond) at which to
give up on computer writes to function block
ROUT parameters. If this time is exceeded
then the function block will change to a mode
other than ROUT based on the SHED_OPT
parameter setting. Shed from ROUT mode
never happens when SHED_ROUT is set to
zero.
Data Type: Unsigned8
Forces output function blocks that are not Out
of Service to the fault state condition. While this
parameter is active the output function blocks
will go to an actual mode of Local Override
(LO) and will perform their fault state actions
(see Action On Fault Detection for the output
blocks on pages 473 and 4153 of this section).
This parameter is used to test the fault state
behavior that normally occurs when there is a
communication problem between devices. This
parameter is changed by the SET_FSTATE
and CLR_FSTATE parameters so long as the
feature Fault State is selected (see Feature
Selection [index number 18] in this table).
Data Type: Unsigned8
Selecting Set changes the parameter
FAULT_STATE to Active. This is essentially a
“write only” parameter as it will always read
OFF because it is defined as momentary.
Writing a value of OFF has no affect. To use
this parameter the feature Fault State must be
selected (see Features Selected on page 33).
Data Type: Unsigned8
Selecting Clear changes the parameter
FAULT_STATE to Clear and clears the output
function blocks of the FAULT_STATE if the
field condition, if any, has cleared. This is
essentially a “write only” parameter as it will
always read OFF because it is defined as
momentary. Writing a value of OFF has no
affect. To use this parameter the feature Fault
State must be selected (see Features Selected
on page 33.
Data Type: Unsigned8
The maximum number of alert reports that this
device can send without getting a confirmation.
To control alert flooding, the number can be set
lower by adjusting the LIM_NOTIFY parameter
value. For DVC6200f instruments, this value is
fixed at 3.
Data Type: Unsigned8
The number of alert reports that this device
can send without getting a confirmation up to
the maximum permitted in the parameter
MAX_NOTIFY. If set to zero, then no alerts are
reported.
Data Type: Unsigned32
The time (in 1/32 millisecond) the device waits
for confirmation of receipt of an alert report
before trying again.
Data Type: Unsigned8
If set to Locked, no writes from anywhere are
allowed except to clear WRITE_LOCK by
entering Unlocked. Block inputs will continue to
be updated if they are subscribers. The feature
Soft Write Lock must be selected to enable
writing to this parameter (see Device Features

time a static parameter value is changed. Also,
the blocks static revision parameter may be
incremented if a static parameter is written but
the value is not changed. If the Actual Mode is
not Out of Service and Reports is selected in
the Feature Select parameter, then this

DVC6200f Digital Valve Controller
Transducer Block Overview
The transducer block accepts a signal from an output
block as a set point to position a valve using a
pneumatic actuator. Input to the transducer block is in
percent. Closed is 0%, and open is 100%. The
transducer block contains setup and calibration
information and can be tuned to closely match the
actuator. Input characterization permits modifying the
overall characteristic of the instrument-actuator-valve
combination in order to modify the installed gain
characteristic of the loop. The transducer block can
also be used to perform instrument and valve
diagnostics and trigger performance alerts.
The following procedures address only the key
transducer block parameters; however, all transducer
4
block parameters are listed in table 4-14.
Detailed Setup
Note
Out of Service (OOS)— Placing the transducer
block in Out of Service mode changes the output to
the zero power (no I/P drive) condition.
Manual (MAN)— Placing the transducer block in
Manual will hold the value at the current setpoint
(FINAL_VALUE [13]). The transducer block will not
accept changes from the AO or DO blocks. This mode
is required to change some parameters and to run
some diagnostics.
Protection
Field Communicator
To configure any parameters in the digital valve
controller Write Lock (WRITE_LOCK [34]), in the
resource block, must be set to Unlocked (refer to page
44). In addition, protection is provided for various
transducer block parameters, as indicated in the
Protect Category column of table 4-14, to prevent
inadvertently overwriting key data by the host system
or user.
The transducer block can be in one of three modes
(MODE_BLK [5]):
Automatic (Auto)— This is the normal mode for
this block. When the transducer block is in the auto
mode, it accepts the output from the AO or DO block
as a set point and outputs a drive signal to the I/P
converter based upon this set point.
Setup and Calibration— will protect only Setup
and Calibration transducer block parameters.
Calibration— will protect only Calibration
transducer block parameters.
None— will not protect any transducer block
parameters.
Note
The Device Setup Auto Travel and
Manual Travel methods automatically
change transducer block protection for
the user.
Changes to the tuning set may cause
the valve/actuator assembly to stroke.
To avoid personal injury or property
damage caused by moving parts,
keep hands, tools, and other objects
away from the valve/actuator
assembly.
Travel Tuning Set
There are eleven Travel Tuning Sets
(TVL_TUNING_SET [42.10]) 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 4-8 lists the
proportional gain, velocity gain and minor loop
feedback gain values for preselected tuning sets.

Note
Use Expert tuning if standard tuning
has not achieved the desired results.
Stabilize/Optimize may be used to
achieve the desired results more
rapidly than Expert tuning.
Table 3-2 provides tuning set selection guidelines for
Fisher and Baumann actuators. These tuning sets are
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.
For an actuator not listed in table 3-2, you can
estimate a starting tuning set by calculating the casing
or cylinder volume. Then, find an actuator in table 3-2
with the closest equivalent volume and use the tuning
set suggested for that actuator.
4
Note
Tuning set B is only available in
Pressure Control Mode.
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 will automatically
change the tuning set to X (expert).
November 2010
Travel Proportional Gain
Travel Proportional Gain (SERVO_GAIN [18]) is the
proportional gain for the travel control tuning set.
Changing this parameter will also change the tuning
set to Expert.
Travel Velocity Gain
Travel Velocity Gain (SERVO_RATE [20]) is the
velocity gain for the travel control tuning set. Changing
this parameter will also change the tuning set to
Expert.
Travel MLFB Gain
Travel MLFB Gain (TVL_MLFB_GAIN [44.5]) is the
minor loop feedback gain for the travel control tuning
set. Changing this parameter will also change the
tuning set to Expert.

DVC6200f Digital Valve Controller
Travel Integral Enable
Travel Integral Enable (TVL_INTEG_ENABLE [44.1])
is used to enable the integral setting to improve static
performance by correcting for error that exists
between the travel target and actual travel.
Travel Integral Gain
Travel Integral Gain (SERVO_RESET [19]) (also
called reset) 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.
Travel Integral Dead Zone
4
Travel Integral Dead Zone (TVL_INTEG_DEADZ
[44.4]) is a window around the Primary Setpoint in
which the integral action is disabled. The dead band is
configurable from 0 to 2%.
Travel Integral Limit Hi
Travel Integral Limit Hi (TVL_INTEG_LIM_HI [44.2])
provides an upper limit to the integrator output. The
high limit is configurable from 0 to 100% of the I/P
drive signal.
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.
If after completing initial setup and calibration the
valve cycles or overshoots, or is sluggish, you can
improve operation by running Stabilize/Optimize.
Travel Integral Limit Lo
The Travel Integral Limit Lo (TVL_INTEG_LIM_LO
[44.3]) provides a lower limit to the integrator output.
The low limit is configurable from −100 to 0% of the I/P
drive signal.
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.
Performance Tuner is used to determine digital valve
controller tuning. It will move the valve slightly and
monitor the effects of small tuning changes until an
optimum control response is achieved. 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.
Stabilize/Optimize is included with the device
description (DD) firmware. Stabilize/Optimize is
accessible from the transducer block and permits
changing the transducer block set point a small
amount to see if the valve is unstable or unresponsive.
If valve response is unsatisfactory, the method permits
adjusting the digital valve controller tuning to improve
response.
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,
Increase Damping or Decrease Damping can be used
to select a damping value not represented in a
predefined tuning set. 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 valve operation is satisfactory, select Exit.
Before exiting, you are asked if you want to return the
transducer block mode to Auto. Select Yes to change
the transducer block mode to Auto. Select No to leave
the transducer block in its current mode.
Changes to the tuning set may cause
the valve/actuator assembly to stroke.
To avoid personal injury or property
damage caused by moving parts,
keep hands, tools, and other objects
away from the valve/actuator
assembly.
Pressure Tuning Set
There are twelve Pressure Tuning Sets
(PRESS_TUNING_SET [42.11]) to choose from. Each
tuning set provides a preselected value for the digital
valve controller gain settings.

Tuning set B provides the slowest response and M
provides the fastest response. Tuning set B is
appropriate for controlling a pneumatic positioner.
Table 4-9 lists the proportional gain, pressure
integrator gain and minor loop feedback gain values
for preselected tuning sets.
Note
Tuning set B is only available in
Pressure Control Mode.
In addition, you can specify Expert tuning and
individually set the pressure proportional gain,
pressure integrator gain, and pressure minor loop
feedback gain. Individually setting or changing any
tuning parameter will automatically change the tuning
set to X (expert).
Pressure Proportional Gain
Pressure Proportional Gain (PRESS_PROP_GAIN
[47.3]) is the proportional gain for the pressure control
tuning set. Changing this parameter will also change
the tuning set to Expert.
Pressure MLFB Gain
Pressure MLFB Gain (PRESS_MLFB_GAIN [47.11])
is the minor loop feedback gain for the pressure
control tuning set. Changing this parameter will also
change the tuning set to Expert.
Pressure Integral Gain
Pressure Integral Gain (PRESS_INTEG_GAIN [47.4])
(also called reset) 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. Changing this parameter will also change
the tuning set to Expert.
Pressure Integral Dead Zone
Pressure Integral Dead Zone

Fallback/Auto recovery. It is not necessary to enable
the Travel Sensor Alert for Pressure Fallback to occur.
Travel Deviation Pressure Fallback
Travel Deviation Pressure Fallback occurs when the
instrument detects that the travel sensor is outside of
its normal range of operation or that a gross deviation
exists between set point and actual travel. It switches
to Pressure Control and no longer uses the travel
sensor to position the valve.
Travel Cutoff Hi
Travel Cutoff Hi (FINAL_VALUE_CUTOFF_HI [15])
defines the high cutoff point for the travel in percent
(%) of pre-characterized setpoint. Above this cutoff,
the travel target is set to 123.0% of the ranged travel.
Travel Cutoff Hi is deactivated by setting it to 125.0%.
Travel Cutoff Lo
Travel Cutoff Lo (FINAL_VALUE_CUTOFF_LO [16])
defines the low cutoff point for the travel in percent (%)
of pre-characterized setpoint. Below this cutoff, the
travel target is set to −23%. A Travel Cutoff Lo of 0.5%
is recommended to help ensure maximum shutoff seat
loading. Travel Cutoff Lo is deactivated by setting it to
−25.0%
CAUTION
When using Pressure Fallback Manual
Recovery or Pressure Fallback Auto
Recovery, the valve travel has the
potential of moving rapidly causing
potential process instability when
returning to Travel Control.
Note
Travel / Pressure Select must be set to

Pressure Cutoff Open
Pressure Cutoff Open (PRESS_CUTOFF_HI [47.1])
defines the high cutoff point for the pressure in percent
(%) of pre-characterized setpoint. Above this cutoff,
the pressure target is set to 123.0%. A Pressure
Cutoff Open of 99.5% is recommended to ensure
valve goes fully open. Pressure Cutoff Hi is
deactivated by setting it 125%.
Pressure Cutoff Closed
Pressure Cutoff Closed (PRESS_CUTOFF_LO [47.2])
defines the low cutoff point for the pressure in percent
(%) of pre-characterized setpoint. Below this cutoff,
the pressure target is set to −23%. A Pressure Cutoff
Closed of 0.5% is recommended to help ensure
maximum shutoff seat loading. Pressure Cutoff Closed
is deactivated by setting it to −25.0%
Pressure Range Hi
Pressure Range Hi (PRESS_RANGE_HI [42.7]) is the
high end of output pressure range. Enter the pressure
that corresponds with 100% valve travel when Zero
Power Condition is closed, or 0% valve travel when
Zero Power Condition is open. This pressure must begreater than the Pressure Range Lo.
Pressure Range Lo
Pressure Range Lo (PRESS_RANGE_LO [42.8]) is
the low end of the output pressure range. Enter the
54

Transducer Block
pressure that corresponds to 0% valve travel when
Zero Power Condition is closed, or 100% valve travel
when Zero Power Condition is open. The pressure
must be less than the Pressure Range Hi.
Input Characterization
Field Communicator
Input Characterization (INPUT_CHAR [50]) defines
the relationship between the travel target and the
setpoint received from the output block. Travel target
is the output from the characterization function.
You can select from the three fixed input
characteristics shown in figure 4-1 or you can select a
custom characteristic. Figure 4-1 shows the
relationship between the travel target and travel set
point for the fixed input characteristics.
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 −25.0%
to 125%. Before modification, the custom
characteristic is linear. You cannot modify the custom
points if the Input Characterization (INPUT_CHAR
[50]) is set to custom.
Outblock Selection (OUTBLOCK_SEL [96]) defines
which output function block will control the setpoint of
the valve. The output block that is not selected will
shed its mode to reflect that it does not have control of
the valve.
Alerts
The DVC6200f provides two levels of alerts;
Instrument alerts and PlantWeb alerts.
Instrument Alert Conditions
Instrument Alert Conditions, when enabled, detect
many operational and performance issues that may be
of interest. To view these alerts, the user must open
the appropriate status screen on a host such as

PlantWeb Alerts
Some instrument alert conditions can also be used to
trigger PlantWeb alerts that will be reported in Failed,
Maintenance or Advisory categories, as configured by
the user. PlantWeb alerts, when enabled, can
participate in the DeltaV alarm interface tools such as
the alarm banner, alarm list and alarm summary.
When a PlantWeb alert occurs, the DVC6200f sends
an event notification and waits a specified period of
time for an acknowledgment to be received. This
occurs even if the condition that caused the alert no
longer exists. If the acknowledgment is not received
within the pre-specified time-out period, the event
notification is retransmitted. This reduces the
possibility of alert messages getting lost.

PlantWeb alerts are mode-based. Refer to table C-1
for details.
Note
Additional details on setting up and
using PlantWeb Alerts can be found in
Appendix C of this manual.

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
DVC6200f housing) has to remain
within this range throughout the entire
