Instrument Description
DVC6000f digital valve controllers for FOUNDATION
fieldbus are interoperable, communicating,
microprocessor-based, digital-to-pneumatic
instruments. In addition to the primary function of
converting a digital input signal to a pneumatic output,
the DVC6000f, 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.
DVC6000f digital valve controllers can be mounted on
single or double-acting sliding-stem actuators, as
shown in figure 1-1, or on rotary actuators, as shown
in figure 1-2. The DVC6000f mounts on most Fisher
and other manufacturers’ rotary and sliding-stem
actuators.
DVC6000f 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:
Performance Diagnostics (PD)
Advanced Diagnostics (AD)
Fieldbus Diagnostics (FD)
Performance and Advanced Diagnostics are available
with ValveLink software. They provide visibility to
instrument alerts. Fieldbus Diagnostics can be viewed
with any host system.
Instrument Blocks
The digital valve controller is a block-based device.

Introduction and Specifications
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.
W8115-FF
Figure 1-2. Fisher Rotary Control Valve with FIELDVUE
DVC6020f Digital Valve Controller
valve controller, see the Detailed Setup section of this
manual.
All DVC6000f digital valve controllers include 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.
Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID)
Function Block—The PID function block performs
proportional-plus-integral-plus-derivative control.
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
DVC6000f sensor or internal measurement and
provides it to another block.
Multiple Analog Input (MAI) Function
Block—The Multiple Analog Input (MAI) function block
has the ability to process up to eight DVC6000f
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.

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.
December 2009
Discrete Input (DI) Function Block—The
discrete input function block processes a single
discrete input from a DVC6000f 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.

Also included is the path required to accomplish
various tasks; the sequence of steps through the Field
Communicator menus. For example, the path to
Resource Block Mode is RB > Configure/Setup >
Setup > Resource Block Mode.
An overview of the Field Communicator resource block
and transducer block menu structures are shown at
the beginning of this manual. Menu structures for the
function blocks are included with each function block
section in Detailed Setup / Blocks.
Throughout this document, parameters are typically
referred to by their common name or label, followed by
the parameter name and index number; for example,
Write Priority (WRITE_PRI [39]). However, not all
interface systems support the use of the parameter
label and instead use only the Parameter Name,
followed by the index number, when referring to the
block parameters.

1. 3-conductor shielded cable, 22 AWG minimum wire size, is required for connection between base unit and feedback unit. Pneumatic tubing between base unit output connection and actuator
has been tested to 15 meters (50 feet) maximum without performance degradation.
2. The pressure/temperature limits in this manual and any applicable code or standard should not be exceeded.
3. Gas Certified DVC6000f digital valve controllers are FM and CSA Single Seal approved for use with natural gas as the supply medium.
4. Normal m3/hour − Normal cubic meters per hour at 0C and 1.01325 bar, absolute. Scfh − Standard cubic feet per hour at 60F and 14.7 psia.
5. Values at 1.4 bar (20 psig) based on a single-acting direct relay; values at 5.5 bar (80 psig) based on double-acting relay.
6. Typical value. Not applicable for travels less than 19 mm (0.75 inch) or for shaft rotation less than 60 degrees. Also, not applicable to DVC6020f digital valve controllers in long-stroke
applications.
7 . Do not use the DVC6010fS or DVC6020fS in high vibration service where the mounting bracket uses standoffs (spacers) to mount to the actuator. Due to NAMUR mounting limitations,
do not use the DVC6030fS in high vibration service.

Installation
The DVC6000f can be used with either air or 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 DVC6000f to
any connected equipment. In normal operation the unit
will vent the supply medium into the surrounding
atmosphere unless it is remotely vented. When using
natural gas as the supply medium, in a non-hazardous
location in a confined area, remote venting of the unit
is required. Failure to do so could result in personal
injury, property damage, and area re-classification. For
hazardous locations remote venting of the unit may be
required, depending upon the area classification, and
as specified by the requirements of local, regional, and
federal codes, rules and regulations. Failure to do so
when necessary could result in personal injury,
property damage, and area re-classification.
Note
Gas Certified DVC6000f digital valve
controllers are FM and CSA Single
Seal approved for use with natural gas
as the supply medium.
If installing this into an existing
application, also refer to the WARNING
at the beginning of the Maintenance
section of this instruction manual.
Check with your process or safety
engineer for any additional measures
that must be taken to protect against
process media.

WARNING
To avoid static discharge from the
plastic cover, do not rub or clean the
cover with solvents. To do so could
result in an explosion. Clean with a
mild detergent and water only.
WARNING
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property
damage from sudden release of
process pressure or bursting of parts.
Before proceeding with any
Installation procedures:
Always wear protective clothing,
gloves, and eyewear to prevent
personal injury and property damage.
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 2-21.
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
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 and should
be as short as possible with adequate
inside diameter and few bends to
reduce case pressure buildup.

Mounting Guidelines
DVC6010f on Sliding-Stem Actuators Up to 102 mm (4 Inches) of Travel
If ordered as part of a control valve assembly, the
factory mounts the digital valve controller on the
actuator, makes pneumatic connections to the
actuator, sets up, and calibrates the instrument. If you
purchased the digital valve controller separately, you
will need a mounting kit to mount the digital valve
controller on the actuator. See the instructions that
come with the mounting kit for detailed information on
mounting the digital valve controller to a specific
actuator model.
The DVC6010f digital valve controller mounts on
sliding-stem actuators with up to 102 mm (4 inch)
travel. Figure 2-1 shows a typical mounting on an
actuator with up to 51 mm (2 inch) travel. Figure 2-2
shows a typical mounting on actuators with 51 to 102
mm (2 to 4 inch) travel. For actuators with greater than
102 mm (4 inch) travel, see the guidelines for
mounting a DVC6020f digital valve controller.
Note
Do not use the stainless steel
DVC6010fS in high vibration service
where the mounting bracket uses
standoffs (spacers) to mount to the
actuator.
Refer to the following guidelines when mounting on
sliding-stem actuators with up to 4 inches of travel.
Where a key number is referenced, refer to
figure 8-2.
1. Isolate the control valve from the process line
pressure and release pressure from both sides of the
valve body. Shut off all pressure lines to the actuator,
releasing all pressure from the actuator. Use lock-out
procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in
effect while you work on the equipment.
2. Attach the connector arm to the valve stem
connector.
3. Attach the mounting bracket to the digital valve
controller housing.

6. Set the position of the feedback arm (key 79) on
the digital valve controller to the zero drive position
(zero pressure from Port A with Relay A) by inserting
the alignment pin (key 46) through the hole on the
feedback arm as follows:
For air-to-open actuators (i.e., the actuator
stem retracts into the actuator casing or cylinder as air
pressure to the casing or lower cylinder increases),
insert the alignment pin into the hole marked ‘‘A’’. For
this style actuator, the feedback arm rotates
counterclockwise, from A to B, as air pressure to the
casing or lower cylinder increases.
For air-to-close actuators (i.e., the actuator
stem extends from the actuator casing or cylinder as
air pressure to the casing or upper cylinder increases),
insert the alignment pin into the hole marked ‘‘B’’. For
this style actuator, the feedback arm rotates
clockwise, from B to A, as air pressure to the casing or
upper cylinder increases.

guidelines on page 2-14 when
installing a DVC6015 remote feedback
unit.
The DVC6015 remote feedback unit mounts on
sliding-stem actuators with up to 102 mm (4 inch)
travel. Figure 2-1 shows a typical mounting on an
actuator with up to 51 mm (2 inch) travel. Figure 2-2
shows a typical mounting on actuators with 51 to 102
mm (2 to 4 inch) travel. For actuators with greater than
102 mm (4 inch) travel, see the guidelines for
mounting a DVC6025 remote feedback unit.
6. Set the position of the feedback arm (key 79) on
the digital valve controller to the zero drive position
(zero pressure from Port A with Relay A) by inserting
the alignment pin (key 46) through the hole on the
feedback arm as follows:
For air-to-open actuators (i.e., the actuator
stem retracts into the actuator casing or cylinder as air
pressure to the casing or lower cylinder increases),
insert the alignment pin into the hole marked ‘‘A’’. For
this style actuator, the feedback arm rotates
counterclockwise, from A to B, as air pressure to the
casing or lower cylinder increases.
For air-to-close actuators (i.e., the actuator
stem extends from the actuator casing or cylinder as
air pressure to the casing or upper cylinder increases),
insert the alignment pin into the hole marked ‘‘B’’. For
this style actuator, the feedback arm rotates
clockwise, from B to A, as air pressure to the casing or
upper cylinder increases.

Note
Refer to DVC6005f Base Unit mounting
guidelines on page 2-14 when
installing a DVC6025 remote feedback
unit.
DVC6025 remote feedback units use a cam and roller
as the feedback mechanism. Figure 2-4 shows an
example of mounting on sliding-stem actuators with
travels from 4 inches to 24 inches. Some long-stroke
applications will require an actuator with a tapped
lower yoke boss. Figures 2-5 and 2-6 show an
example of mounting on rotary actuators.
Note
While the housing differs on the
DVC6025 and the DVC6020f, feedback
parts are the same.
As shown in figure 2-5, two feedback arms are
available for the digital valve controller. Most
long-stroke sliding-stem and rotary actuator
installations use the long feedback arm [62 mm (2.45
inches) from roller to pivot point]. Installations on
Fisher 1051 size 33 and 1052 size 20 and 33
actuators use the short feedback arm [54 mm (2.13
inches) from roller to pivot point]. Make sure the
correct feedback arm is installed on the digital valve
controller before beginning the mounting procedure.
Refer to figures 2-4, 2-5, and 2-6 for parts locations.
Also, where a key number is referenced, refer to figure
8-8. Refer to the following guidelines when mounting
on sliding-stem actuators with 4 to 24 inches of travel
or on rotary actuators:
1. Isolate the control valve from the process line
pressure and release pressure from both sides of the
valve body. Shut off all pressure lines to the
pneumatic actuator, releasing all pressure from the
actuator. Use lock-out procedures to be sure that the
above measures stay in effect while working on the
equipment.
2. If a cam is not already installed on the actuator,
install the cam as described in the instructions
included with the mounting kit. For sliding-stem
actuators, the cam is installed on the stem connector.
3. If a mounting plate is required, fasten the mounting
plate to the actuator.
4. For applications that require remote venting, a
pipe-away bracket kit is available. Follow the
instructions included with the kit to replace the existing
mounting bracket on the digital valve controller with
the pipe-away bracket and to transfer the feedback
parts from the existing mounting bracket to the
pipe-away bracket.
5. Larger size actuators may require a follower arm
extension, as shown in figure 2-6. If required, the
follower arm extension is included in the mounting kit.
Follow the instructions included with the mounting kit
to install the follower arm extension.
6. Apply anti-seize (key 64) to the arm assembly pin
as shown in figure 2-8.
7. Mount the DVC6025 on the actuator as follows:
If required, a mounting adaptor is included in the
mounting kit. Attach the adaptor to the actuator as
shown in figure 2-5. Then attach the digital valve
controller assembly to the adaptor. The roller on the
digital valve controller feedback arm will contact the
actuator cam as it is being attached.
If no mounting adaptor is required, attach the
digital valve controller assembly to the actuator or
mounting plate. The roller on the digital valve
controller feedback arm will contact the actuator cam
as it is being attached.
8. For long-stroke sliding-stem actuators, after the
mounting is complete, check to be sure the roller
aligns with the position mark on the cam (see
figure 2-4). If necessary, reposition the cam to attain
alignment.

Pressure Control
Mounting the digital valve controller for pressure
control does not require connecting the feedback
linkage. However, if the feedback linkage is not
connected, the feedback arm should be locked in
place. Insert the special stainless steel alignment pin
into either hole A or hole B of the feedback arm as
shown in table 2-1. To lock the feedback arm, insert
the alignment pin through hole A or B then screw the
alignment pin into the threaded hole in the side of the
housing.
The digital valve controller can be yoke-mounted or
casing-mounted on an actuator. DVC6000f digital
valve controllers set up for pressure control also can
be wall or pipestand mounted.
Actuator Mounting
1. Isolate the control valve from the process line
pressure and release pressure from both sides of the
valve body. Shut off all pressure lines to the
pneumatic actuator, releasing all pressure from the
actuator. Use lock-out procedures to be sure that the
above measures stay in effect while working on the
equipment.
2. For yoke-mounting on rotary actuators only:
a. If a mounting plate is required, fasten the
mounting plate to the actuator.
b. If required, a mounting adaptor is included in the
mounting kit. Attach the adaptor to the actuator as
shown in figure 2-5.
c. For applications that require remote venting, a
pipe-away bracket kit is available. Follow the
instructions included with the kit to replace the
existing mounting bracket on the digital valve
controller with the pipe-away bracket.
3. Mount the digital valve controller on the actuator as
described in the mounting kit instructions.
67CFR Filter Regulator
A 67CFR filter regulator, when used with the
DVC6000f digital valve controller, can be mounted
three ways.
Integral-Mounted Regulator
Refer to figure 2-15. Lubricate an O-ring and insert it
in the recess around the SUPPLY connection on the
digital valve controller. Attach the 67CFR filter
regulator to the side of the digital valve controller.
Thread a 1/4-inch socket-head pipe plug into the
unused outlet on the filter regulator. This is the
standard method of mounting the filter regulator.
Yoke-Mounted Regulator
Mount the filter regulator with 2 cap screws to the
pre-drilled and tapped holes in the actuator yoke.
Thread a 1/4-inch socket-head pipe plug into the
unused outlet on the filter regulator. The O-ring is not
required.
2-18
December 2009
Page 43
Installation
Casing-Mounted Regulator
Use the separate 67CFR filter regulator casing
mounting bracket provided with the filter regulator.
Attach the mounting bracket to the 67CFR and then
attach this assembly to the actuator casing. Thread a
1/4-inch socket-head pipe plug into the unused outlet
on the filter regulator. The O-ring is not required.
Pressure Connections
Pressure connections are shown in figure 2-16. All
pressure connections on the digital valve controller are
1/4 NPT internal connections. Use 10 mm (0.375 inch)
tubing for all pneumatic connections. If remote venting
is required, refer to the vent subsection.
Note
Make pressure connections to the
digital valve controller using tubing
with at least 10 mm (0.375-inch)
diameter.
WARNING
Severe personal injury or property
damage may occur from process
instability 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 that 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 proper
amount or method 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.
Alternatively, natural gas may be used as the supply
pressure medium. Gas must be clean, dry, oil-free,
and noncorrosive. H2S content should not exceed 20
ppm.
A 67CFR filter regulator with 5 micrometer filter, or
equivalent, may be used to filter and regulate supply
air. A filter regulator can be integrally mounted onto
the side of the digital valve controller, casing mounted
separate from the digital valve controller, or mounted
on the actuator mounting boss. Supply and output
pressure gauges may be supplied on the digital valve
controller. The output pressure gauges can be used as
an aid for calibration.

Supply Connections
WARNING
To avoid personal injury and property
damage resulting from bursting of
parts, do not exceed maximum supply
pressure.
December 2009
Connect the nearest suitable supply source to the
1/4 NPT IN connection on the filter regulator (if
furnished) or to the 1/4 NPT SUPPLY connection on
the digital valve controller housing (if a 67CFR filter
regulator is not attached).
Output Connections
A factory mounted digital valve controller has its
output piped to the pneumatic input connection on the
actuator. If mounting the digital valve controller in the
field, or installing the remote-mounted DVC6005f base
unit, connect the 1/4 NPT digital valve controller
output connections to the pneumatic actuator input
connections.

This configuration is not possible with
a double-acting actuator or when
using relay A in single-acting mode.
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
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 and should
be as short as possible with adequate
insider diameter and few bends to
reduce case pressure buildup.
In addition to remote venting of the
unit, ensure that all caps and covers are

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.
The relay output constantly bleeds supply medium into
the area under the cover. The vent opening at the
back of the housing should be left open to prevent
pressure buildup under the cover. If a remote vent is
required, the vent line must be as short as possible
with a minimum number of bends and elbows.
To connect a remote vent to DVC6010f and
DVC6030f digital valve controllers—remove the
plastic vent (key 52, figures 8-2 and 8-4). The vent
connection is 3/8 NPT internal. Typically, 12.7 mm
(0.5 inch) tubing is used to provide a remote vent.
To connect a remote vent to a DVC6020f digital
valve controller—replace the standard mounting
bracket (key 74, figure 8-3) with the vent-away bracket
(key 74). Install a pipe plug in the vent-away mounting
bracket (key 74). Mount the digital valve controller on
the actuator as described in the Installation section of
this manual. The vent connection is 3/8 NPT internal.
Typically, 12.7 mm (0.5 inch) tubing is used to provide
a remote vent.
Use 10 mm (0.275 inch) outside diameter tubing to
connect the 1/4 NPT digital valve controller output
connection to the pneumatic actuator input connection.
If a volume tank is used to attenuate flow instabilities,
the volume needs to be at least 1.64 liters (100 cubic
inch) but not greater than 4.1 liters (250 cubic inch).
To tune the digital valve controller for an assembly
equipped with a volume tank, select a tuning set for an
actuator with roughly the same volume. Do not use
tuning set B when a volume tank is present.

Note
Potentiometer travel must be between
1.3 and 1.6 times greater than the
actuator travel. For example: if an
actuator has a travel of 9 inches, then
a linear potentiometer must be
selected with a rated travel between
11.7 and 14.4 inches. The resistive
element must be tapered from 0 kOhm
to 10 kOhm over rated travel of the
potentiometer. The actuator will only
use 63 to 76% of the potentiometer’s
rated travel.

1. Stroke the actuator with the 10 kOhm
potentiometer to the mid-travel position, which
corresponds to the potentiometer value of 5 kOhm.
This will leave an equal amount of unused resistive
element on both ends of the travel, which is required
by the digital valve controller to function properly.
2. On the base unit, remove the feedback
connections terminal box cap (refer to figure 2-16).
3. If necessary, install conduit between the
potentiometer and the base unit following applicable
local and national electrical codes. Route the

(refer to figure 2-22).
4. Connect one wire of the 3-conductor shielded cable
between the Terminal labeled “30k Ω” on the base unit
and one end lead of the potentiometer.
5. Connect the second wire of the 3-conductor
shielded cable between the middle lead (wiper) of the
10 kOhm potentiometer and Terminal 2 on the base
unit.
Note
The digital valve controller must be
configured using the SStem/Roller
selection on the menu of the

The base unit (DVC6005f) was designed to work with
a 40 kOhm potentiometer for travel feedback.
However, there are linear potentiometers that are
readily available with a rated resistance of 10 kOhm.
Therefore, the feedback connections terminal box on
the DVC6005f contains an additional 30 kOhm fixed
resistor that may be added to the circuit. This brings
the total resistance up to the required 40 kOhm.

Commissioning Tag
The DVC6000f digital valve controller is supplied with
a removable paper commissioning tag, shown in figure
2-24. 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
December 2009

Installation
defined by the piping and instrumentation diagram
(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 manufacturing process. If this option is specified,
the device tag is displayed at the host system prior to
commissioning rather than the device ID. This makes
the job of commissioning the device easier.

Actuator Style—Select spring & diaphragm,
piston double-acting without spring, piston
single-acting with spring, piston double-acting with
spring.
Valve Style—Select the valve style, rotary or
sliding-stem.
Zero Power Condition—Identifies whether the
valve is fully open or fully closed when the instrument
is outputing the smallest signal to the I/P module.
Typically, this setting matches the valve position when
the instrument is not powered. For instruments with
relay A or C, if increasing air pressure at output A
causes the valve to open, the Zero Power Condition is
Closed. If the valve closes under these conditions, the
Zero Power Condition is Open. For instruments with
relay B, if decreasing air pressure at output B causes
the valve to open, the Zero Power Condition is Closed.
If the valve closes under these conditions, the Zero
Power Condition is Open.

Feedback Connection—Select RShaft Pot,
SStem Roller Pot, or SStem Pot. For rotary valves,
enter RShaft Pot. For sliding-stem valves, if the
feedback linkage consists of a connector arm,
adjustment arm, and feedback arm, similar to the
linkage shown in figure 3-1, enter SStem Pot. If the
feedback linkage consists of a roller that follows a
cam, similar to the linkage shown in figure 3-2, enter
SStem Roller Pot.
Travel Sensor Motion—Select Clockwise or
Counterclockwise. Travel Sensor Motion establishes
the proper valve travel sensor (feedback) rotation.
Determine the rotation by viewing the end of the travel
sensor shaft.
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, provide some
temporary means of control for the
process.
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. Table 3-3 lists the
values for preselected tuning sets.
In addition, you can select Expert, which allows you to
modify tuning of the digital valve controller by
specifying the gain values.
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 the
performance tuner to adjust the tuning set to get the
desired response.
Note
For instruments with relay A or C If increasing air
pressure at output A causes the shaft to turn
clockwise, enter Clockwise. If it causes the shaft to
turn counterclockwise, enter Counterclockwise.
For instruments with relay B If decreasing air
pressure at output B causes the shaft to turn
clockwise, enter Clockwise. If it causes the shaft to
turn counterclockwise, enter Counterclockwise.
December 2009
When selecting a tuning set for a
DVC6015, DVC6025 or DVC6035 remote
mount unit, it may be necessary to
reduce the tuning set, due to the
effects of the long tubing between the
digital valve controller and the
actuator.
3-5
Page 60
DVC6000f Digital Valve Controllers
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.
WARNING
3
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.
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.
If after completing auto setup and auto calibration the
valve seems slightly unstable or unresponsive, you
can improve operation by selecting Performance
Tuner from the Basic Setup menu.
Performance Tuner
Performance Tuner is used to optimize 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. Access Performance Tuner by
selecting Performance Tuner from the Basic Setup
menu.
Note
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
5-4 for relay adjustment instructions.

Resource Block Overview
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
(RB > 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
15.
Communication Time Out
(RB > Configure/Setup > Communication Time Out)
Shed Remote Cascade
Setup
Resource Block Mode
(RB > Configure/Setup > Setup > Resource Block
Mode)
Modes
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 DVC6000f
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
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 Shed Remote Out is
20 seconds.
Shed Remote Out (SHED_ROUT [27]) determine how
long function blocks in the DVC6000f 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
Remote Out field. Time duration is in 1/32 milliseconds
(640000 = 20 secs).
Options
(RB > Configure/Setup > Options)
descriptions for Set Fault State (SET_FSTATE
[29]) and Clear Fault State (CLR_FSTATE [30]) in

Soft Write Lock—Soft Write lock permits using
Write Lock (WRITE_LOCK [34]) to prevent any
external change to parameter values. Block
connections and calculation results will proceed
normally, but the configuration is locked. Also see
Write Lock, on page 4-4.
Multi-bit Alarm (Bit-Alarm) Support— Multi-bit
Alarm (Bit-Alarm) Support permits the instrument to
treat each PlantWeb alert separately when
broadcast to the Host.Without Multi-Bit Alarm
Support, an individual PlantWeb alert must be
acknowledged before another PlantWeb alert can
be broadcast to the Host

If Confirm Time is 0, the instrument does not retry to
send the report. Enter 0 or a value between 320000
(10 secs) and 640000 (20 secs).
Limit Notify
Limit Notify (LIM_NOTIFY [32]) is the number of alert
reports that the device can send without getting a
confirmation up to the maximum permitted in
Maximum Notify (MAX_NOTIFY [31]). If Limit Notify is
set to zero, no alerts are reported. Enter a value
between 0 and 3.
To have the instrument report alerts without having the
host poll the alerts parameters, select the Reports
feature (see Feature Select).
Maximum Notify
Maximum Notify (MAX_NOTIFY [31]) indicates the
maximum number of alert reports that the device can
send without getting a confirmation. This limit is
determined by the amount of memory available for

Resource Block
Description
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: Unsigned16
Manufacturer’s model number associated with
the resource, used by an interface device to
locate the DD file for the resource.
Data Type: Unsigned8
Manufacturer’s revision number associated
with the resource, used by an interface device
to locate the DD file for the resource.
Data Type: Unsigned8
The minimum revision of the device description
(DD) than can be used with the device revision
of the instrument. Used by the interface device
to prevent the use of DDs that are incompatible
with the firmware in the instrument.
Data Type: DS-70
Options for controlling access of a host
computer and to block parameters. Parameter
contains two attributes Grant and Deny each
with program, tune, alarm and local
permissions. Clearing a grant permission sets
the corresponding deny permission, 0 = N/A, 1
= granted.
Deny permissions may be cleared through the
Deny attribute but not set, 0 = N/A, 1 = denied.
Data Type: Bit String
0 = Inactive

for this resource.
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 DVC6000f
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
DVC6000f 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 DVC6000f 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
DVC6000f 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.

Description
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 4-72 and 4-152 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
4-5).
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 4-5.
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 DVC6000f 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
in this section).

Description
Data Type: DS-73
This alert is generated by any change to the
static data. To support tracking changes in
static parameter values, the blocks static
revision parameter will be incremented each
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
parameter will be sent to the host system
providing the host has set up alert
communications. Changes to static data while
the block is Out of Service will be reported
when the block transitions to another mode.
Data Type: DS-72
This alarm is generated by a nonzero value in
the Block Error. parameter. This alarm has a
fixed priority of 2. For a BLOCK_ALM to be
broadcast to the host the following conditions
must be met:
The feature Reports must be selected
Alert communication with the host must be
setup
In the ALARM_SUM parameter, the disable
bit for Block Alarm must be clear.
Data Type: DS-74
0=clear, acknowledged, reported, enabled
Current alert status, unacknowledged states,
unreported states, and disabled states of the
alarms associated with the function block. The
Resource block only has two alarms: Write
Alarm and Block Alarm.
Data Type: Bit String
0=Disable
1=Enable
Selection of whether alarms associated with
the block will be automatically acknowledged.
Data Type: Unsigned8
Priority of the alarm generated by setting
WRITE_LOCK to Unlocked.
Data Type: DS-72
This alarm is generated when Unlocked in the
WRITE_LOCK parameter is set. This alarm
has a priority of WRITE_PRI. For a
WRITE_ALM to be broadcast to the host the
following conditions must be met:
The feature Reports must be selected
Alert communication with the host must be
setup
In the ALARM_SUM parameter, the disable
bit for Write Alarm must be clear.
WRITE_PRI must be greater than 1.

Transducer Block
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
block parameters are listed in table 4-13.
Detailed Setup
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.
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
(TB > Configure/Setup > Detailed Setup > Protection)
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
4-4). In addition, protection is provided for various
transducer block parameters, as indicated in the
Protect Category column of table 4-13, to prevent
inadvertently overwriting key data by the host system
or user.
4
Note
To setup and calibrate the
instrument, the transducer block
Mode must be Manual and the
Protection must be None.
Transducer Block Mode
(TB > Configure/Setup > Detailed Setup > Transducer
Block Mode)
Modes
The transducer block can be in one of three modes
(MODE_BLK [5]):
All— will protect all transducer block Parameters.
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.

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.
There are twelve 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 B 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
When selecting a tuning set for a
DVC6015, DVC6025 or DVC6035 remote
mount unit, it may be necessary to
reduce the tuning set, due to the
effects of the long tubing between the
digital valve controller and the
actuator.
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).
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.
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.

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
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.
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 the performance tuning the
valve may move. To avoid personal
injury and property damage caused
by the release of pressure or process
fluid, provide some temporary means
of control for the process.
Performance Tuner is used to optimize 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
WARNING
During Stabilize/Optimize the valve
may move. To avoid personal injury
and property damage caused by the
release of pressure or process fluid,
provide some temporary means of
control for the process.
If after completing initial setup and calibration the
valve cycles or overshoots, or is sluggish, you can
improve operation running Stabilize/Optimize.
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.

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
Use Expert tuning only if standard
tuning has not achieved the desired
results.
Stabilize/Optimize may be used to
achieve the desired results more
rapidly than Expert tuning.
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.
Note
When selecting a tuning set for a
DVC6015, DVC6025 or DVC6035 remote
mount unit, it may be necessary to
reduce the tuning set, due to the
effects of the long tubing between the
digital valve controller and the
actuator.
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).
4-24
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
(PRESS_INTEG_DEADZ [47.6]) is a window around
the Primary Setpoint in which the integral action is
disabled. The dead band is configurable from 0 to 2%.
December 2009

Pressure Integral Limit Hi
Pressure Integral Limit Hi (PRESS_INTEG_HI_LIM
[47.7]) provides an upper limit to the integrator output.
The high limit is configurable from 0 to 100% of the I/P
drive signal.
Pressure Integral Limit Lo
Pressure Integral Limit Lo (PRESS_INTEG_LO_LIM
[47.8]) provides a lower limit to the integrator output.
The low limit is configurable from −100 to 0% of the I/P
drive signal.
Travel Pressure Control
(TB > Configure/Setup > Detailed Setup > Response
Control > Travel Pressure Control)
Travel/Pressure State
Travel/Pressure State (TVL_PRESS.STATE [41.2])
indicates if the instrument is being used for travel
control (position control) or as an I/P (pressure control)
Travel/Pressure Select
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
Travel for double acting actuators.
Travel / Pressure Select (TVL_PRESS_SELECT
[41.1]) determines if the instrument is setup for
position or pressure control. Select Travel, Pressure,
Travel with Pressure Fallback/Auto recovery or Travel
with Pressure Fallback/Manual Recovery. If the travel
sensor fails, and Travel with Pressure Fallback/Auto
Recovery is selected, it will return to travel control
when the travel sensor starts working again. Travel
with Pressure Fallback/Manual recovery will stay in
pressure control until Travel Pressure Select is
changed to Travel or Travel with Pressure
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 be
greater than the Pressure Range Lo.

Custom Characterization Table
(TB > Configure/Setup > Detailed Setup > Response
Control > Custom Characterization Table)
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

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 DVC6000f 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.
