Fisherr FIELDVUEt DVC2000 Digital Valve
Controller
The FIELDVUE DVC2000 digital valve controller is
simple to use, compact, and designed for easy
mounting. It converts a 4-20 mA input signal into a
pneumatic output signal, which feeds the control valve
actuator. Instrument setup is performed with a push
button and liquid crystal display (LCD) interface. This
interface is protected from the environment within a
sealed enclosure. The interface supports multiple
languages, available in two language pack options.
The DVC2000 uses a two-stage positioner design. The
pre-amplifier stage provides high static gain for
responsiveness to small changes in the input signal.
The power amplifier stage delivers the right volume of
air to the actuator, combining superior dynamic
performance with minimal steady-state air
consumption.
The high performance, linkage-less feedback system
eliminates physical contact between the valve stem
and the positioner. There is no wear of parts so cycle
life is maximized. Additionally, the elimination of
levers and linkages reduces the number of mounting
parts and the mounting complexity. Positioner
replacement and maintenance is simplified because
the feedback parts stay connected to the actuator
stem.
Designed to meet intrinsically safe and non-incendive
requirements, this instrument delivers scalable
functionality and high performance in a small package.

Features
n Simplicity—The DVC2000 is easy to use. If you are
mounting the instrument for the first time, the
linkage-less feedback system is easy to install. Once
a magnet array is assembled to the valve stem,
positioner replacement is simple since there are no
physically connected parts.
At its very basic functionality, the DVC2000 digital
valve controller has a local user interface that will
allow you to configure, calibrate, and tune the
instrument. If the I/O Options Package is installed,
you can calibrate the 4-20 mA transmitter and
configure the limit switch action. Running the Quick
Setup routine calibrates and tunes the instrument
specifically for that actuator.
The full text display in the local interface is easy to
navigate, in part due to the selection of languages.
Each unit can be configured to display English,
German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese or
Chinese. The standard language pack also includes
Portuguese, Russian, Polish, and Czech. An optional
language pack replaces these four languages with
Arabic.

n Reliability—The DVC2000 is based on the
field-proven FIELDVUE technology. Years of control
experience has brought this product line to a high
level of reliability and dependability.
n Performance—The two-stage positioner design
provides a mechanical platform that enables
responsiveness to small input changes and tighter
process control. The digital tuning algorithm allows
optimal response to get the valve to its desired
position quickly.
n Diagnostics—Local User Interface: DVC2000
instruments come standard with a liquid crystal
display. Predefined instrument and valve
diagnostics are built into the firmware to alert you if
there are any problems with the mounting,
electronics, hardware, or valve performance.
Handheld Field Communicator: DVC2000
instruments are packed with user-configurable
alerts and alarms. These flags provide notification of
current status and potential valve and instrument
problems through alerts such as travel deviation,
travel limit, cycle count, and travel accumulation.
ValveLinkt software: Tests can be performed to
identify problems with the entire control valve
assembly using ValveLink software. Using valve
stem travel feedback, actuator pressure sensor, and
other sensors on the instrument, the health of the
control valve can be evaluated while the valve is still
in service and fully operational. This helps to
pinpoint problems without disrupting the process before the equipment fails.
Integration
Traditional 4-20 mA Systems
Because the DVC2000 instrument operates with a
4-20 mA control signal, it directly replaces older
analog instruments. Microprocessor based electronics
provide improved control performance along with
repeatable and reliable configuration and calibration.
Modbus with ValveLink Software
and HART Multiplexers
HART communication allows you to extract more
value from the DVC2000 instrument beyond its
inherent improved performance. When integrated into
a multiplexer network and using ValveLink software,
the device and valve information is real-time. From the
safety of a control room, multiple instruments can be
monitored for alerts and alarms.
Additionally, tasks such as configuration, calibration,
and diagnostic testing do not require special trips to
the field. ValveLink software can communicate via
Modbus to the distributed control system (DCS) to
provide critical information such as valve travel alerts
and alarms.
n I/O Options Package— The DVC2000 is available
with an I/O Options Package which includes two (2)
integral limit switches and a stem position
transmitter. The limit switches are configurable for
open and closed valve indication at any point
throughout the calibrated travel range. The position
transmitter provides a 4-20 mA signal for valve
position feedback verification. As an integral
component to the instrument, this option module
avoids the need for difficult-to-mount external
switches and transmitters.
4
Integrated Control System
A control system with HART communication
capabilities has the ability to directly gather
information from DVC2000 digital valve controllers.
Information such as valve travel, alerts and alarms can
be seamlessly accessed to provide a view into the field
device from the safety of the control room.

Principle of Operation
The DVC2000 (figures 1 and 2) receives a 4-20 mA set
point and position the valve by increasing or
decreasing the air output to an actuator.
n The input signal provides electrical power and the
set point simultaneously. The 4-20 mA signal is
routed into the terminals through a twisted pair of
wires.
n The unit's mainboard contains a microprocessor
that continuously runs a digital control algorithm.
This algorithm produces a “drive signal” to the I/P
converter.
n The I/P converter assembly (or pre-amplifier) is
connected to supply pressure and converts the
electronic “drive signal” into a pneumatic “pressure
signal.” This pressure signal is the input to the
pneumatic relay assembly.
ENVIRONMENTAL
COVER WITH LENS
relay output pressure to the actuator causes the
valve to move.
There are two relay options. The low pressure relay
operates with actuators that require less than
3.5 bar (50 psi) of supply air. The high pressure relay
operates with actuators that require 3.5 to 7.0 bar
(50 to 100 psi) of supply air.
n Valve position is sensed through the linkage-less
feedback system. The travel sensor is electrically
connected to the printed wiring board to provide a
travel feedback signal used in the control algorithm.
The valve continues to move until the correct
position is attained.
Installation
n The relay (or power amplifier) is also connected to
supply pressure and amplifies the small pressure
signal from the I/P converter into a larger pressure
output signal used by the actuator. The change in
The DVC2000 is designed for mounting on any
single acting pneumatic actuator up to 606 mm
(23-7/8 inches) of travel. The envelope and travel
feedback system conforms to VDI/VDE 3845, IEC
60534-6-1, and IEC 60534-6-2 standards.

Furthermore, the DVC2000 instrument can be
integrally mounted to the GX actuator, avoiding the
need for complicated mounting brackets. The
positioner mounts directly to an interface pad on the
actuator yoke leg with a secure 3-point mounting.
Internal passages inside the actuator yoke legs route
the pneumatic output of the digital valve controller to
the actuator casing, eliminating the need for external
tubing (only for the air-to-open configuration).
Electrical connections are made on the termination
strip, which uses cage clamp style wiring connectors.
The electrical wiring entry point is available with either
M20 or 1/2 NPT internal connections. Pressure
connections are available with either G1/4 or 1/4 NPT
internal connections.
