DVC6000f Series 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. DVC6000f Series
digital valve controllers mount on most Fisher and
other manufacturers’ rotary and sliding-stem
actuators.
DVC6000f Series 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.
Instrument Description
DVC6000f Series 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 Series digital valve
controller, using
communications protocol, gives easy access to
information critical to process operation as well as
process control. This can be done using a DeltaV
FOUNDATION fieldbus

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
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.
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.
Performance and Advanced Diagnostics are available
with AMS 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.
For detailed information on the blocks within the digital
valve controller, see the Detailed Setup / Blocks
section of this manual.
All DVC6000f Series 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.
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 (AI) 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 B,
Communication.
March 2006
FOUNDATION fieldbus
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.

Avoid personal injury or property
damage from sudden release of
process pressure or bursting of parts.
Before mounting the DVC6000f Series
digital valve controller:
Always wear protective clothing
and eyewear when performing any
installation procedures.
Disconnect any operating lines
providing air pressure, electric power,
or a control signal to the actuator. Be
sure the actuator cannot suddenly

Use bypass valves or completely
shut off the process to isolate the
valve from process pressure. Relieve
process pressure from both sides of
the valve.
Vent the pneumatic actuator
loading pressure and relieve any
actuator spring precompression.
Use lock-out procedures to be
sure that the above measures stay in
effect while you work on the
equipment.
Check with your process or
safety engineer for any additional
measures that must be taken to
protect against process media.

Mounting
Type DVC6010f on Sliding-Stem
Actuators Up to 102 mm (4 Inches) of
Travel
WARNING
Refer to the Installation WARNING at
the beginning of this section.
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 Type 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 Type DVC6020f digital valve controller.
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 11-2.
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.
4. If valve travel exceeds 2 inches, a feedback arm
extension is attached to the existing 2-inch feedback
arm. Remove the existing bias spring (key 78) from
the 2-inch feedback arm (key 79). Attach the feedback
arm extension to the feedback arm (key 79) as shown
in figure 2-2.
5. Mount the digital valve controller on the actuator as
described in the mounting kit instructions.
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 Type 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
2
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.
BIAS SPRING
SPRING RELAXED
FEEDBACK ARM
Note
When performing the following steps,
ensure there is enough clearance
between the adjustment arm and the
feedback arm to prevent interference
with the bias spring.
7. Apply lubricant to the pin of the adjustment arm. As
shown in figure 2-3, place the pin into the slot of the
feedback arm or feedback arm extension so that the
bias spring loads the pin against the side of the arm
with the valve travel markings.

come with the mounting kit for detailed information on
mounting the digital valve controller to a specific
actuator model.
Note
All cams supplied with FIELDVUE
mounting kits are characterized to
provide a linear response.
Type DVC6020f digital valve controllers use a cam
(designed for linear response) 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 2-7 show the Type DVC6020f
mounted on rotary actuators.
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 Type 1051 size 33 and Type 1052 size 20 and

Severe personal injury or property
damage may occur from process
instability if the instrument air supply
is not clean, dry and oil-free. While
use and regular maintenance of a
filter that removes particles larger that
40 microns in diameter will suffice in
most applications, check with a
Fisher 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 Fisher Type 67CFR filter regulator, 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.
Connect the nearest suitable supply source to the
2
1/4-inch NPT IN connection on the filter regulator (if
furnished) or to the 1/4-inch NPT SUPPLY connection
on the digital valve controller housing (if Type 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 Type DVC6005f
base unit, connect the 1/4-inch NPT digital valve
controller output connections to the pneumatic
actuator input connections.

Single-Acting Actuators
When connecting a single-acting direct digital valve
controller (relay type A) to a single-acting actuator, the
OUTPUT B connection must be plugged. Connect
OUTPUT A to the actuator diaphragm casing. The
gauge for OUTPUT B is not used. It should be
removed and replaced with a screened vent.
When connecting a single-acting reverse digital valve
controller (relay type B) to a single-acting actuator, the
OUTPUT A connection must be plugged. Connect
OUTPUT B to the actuator diaphragm casing. The
gauge for OUTPUT A is not used and should be
replaced with a pipe plug.
Double-Acting Actuators
DVC6000f Series digital valve controllers on
double-acting actuators always use relay type 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 retract into the cylinder with
Zero Power Condition, connect OUTPUT A to the
upper actuator cylinder connection. Connect OUTPUT
B to the lower cylinder connection. Figure 2-16 shows
the digital valve controller connected to a
double-acting piston actuator.
To have the actuator stem extend from the cylinder
with Zero Power Condition, connect OUTPUT A to the
lower actuator cylinder connection. Connect OUTPUT
B to the upper cylinder connection.
Vent Connection
WARNING
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 air 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 Type DVC6010f and
DVC6030f digital valve controllers and Type
DVC6015 and DVC6035 remote feedback units—
sliding-stem remove the plastic vent (key 52, figures
11-1, 11-2 and 11-6). The vent connection is 3/8-inch
NPT female. Typically, 12.7 mm (0.5 inch) tubing is
used to provide a remote vent.
To connect a remote vent to a Type DVC6020f
digital valve controller and a Type DVC6025
remote feedback unit—rotary replace the standard
mounting bracket (key 74, figures 11-1 and 11-4) with

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-inch NPT female. 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-inch 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.
Alternatively, flow fluctuations may be attenuated by
placing a 0.9 mm (0.035 inch) fixed restriction between
the regulator and the output. A list of fixed restriction
orifice specifications is presented in table 2-2.

3RD PARTY FEEDBACK ELEMENT
(WITH 10k W POTENTIOMETER)
Note
The digital valve controller must be
configured using the SStem/Roller
selection on the menu of the
appropriate setup device.
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 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.
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 2-15).
Using a Potentiometer with Two Fixed
Resistors as a Remote Travel Sensor
Perform the following procedures if a potentiometer is
used with the same, or slightly longer travel than the
actuator’s travel.
Note
The potentiometer must be capable of
resistance close to 0 Ohms.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the
potentiometer, ensure that it is free to
travel the entire length of the actuators
travel.
Note
The digital valve controller must be
configured using the SStem/Roller
selection on the menu of the
appropriate setup device.
3. If necessary, install conduit between the
potentiometer and the base unit following applicable
local and national electrical codes. Route the
3-conductor shielded cable between the two units
(refer to figure 2-20).
4. Connect one wire of the 3-conductor shielded cable

Commissioning Tag
The DVC6000f Series digital valve controller is
supplied with a removable paper commissioning tag,
shown in figure 2-22. 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 (P&ID).
2
18B9406-D
Figure 2-22. Paper Commissioning Tag
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 makesthe job of commissioning the device easier.

cause changes in the output pressure
or valve travel. Depending on the
application, these changes may upset
process control, which may result in
personal injury or propery damage.
When the DVC6000f Series digital valve controller is
ordered as part of a control valve assembly, the
factory mounts the digital valve controller and sets up
4
the instrument as specified on the order. When
mounting to a valve in the field, the instrument needs
to be setup to match the instrument to the valve and
actuator.
Before beginning basic setup, be sure the instrument
is correctly mounted as described in the Installation
section.
Basic Setup includes the following procedures:

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.
For instruments with Relay Type A 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 Type 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.
Table 4-2 lists the required Travel Sensor Motion
selections for Fisher, Baumann, and Gulde 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 4-3 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 4-2 provides tuning set selection guidelines for

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.
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.

There are two Auto Travel Calibration options
available; autocalibrate-standard or
autocalibrate−extended. Autocalibrate-extended is
used for very large, slow moving actuators or
actuators with accessories, and may also be needed
for remote mount calibration.
Auto Travel Calibration requires user interaction only
when the Feedback Connection is SStem - Standard.
If the Feedback Connection is Rotary - All, SStem Roller, no user interaction is required. For valves with
the SStem - Standard Feedback Connection,
interaction provides a more accurate crossover
adjustment.
1. Select the method of crossover adjustment:
manual, last value, or default. Manual adjustment is
recommended.
If you select Last Value, the crossover setting
currently stored in the instrument is used and there
are no further user interactions with the
auto-calibration routine (go to step 3). If you select
Default, an approximate value for the crossover is sent
to the instrument and there are no further user
interactions with the auto-calibration routine (go to
step 3). If you select Manual, the Field Communicator
prompts you to adjust the transducer block set point
until the feedback arm is 90° to the actuator stem, as
shown in figure 4-3. After you have made the

Tuning
Stabilize/Optimize
(TB > Basic Setup > Stabilize/Optimize)
If after completing initial setup and calibration the
valve cycles or overshoots, or is sluggish, you can
improve operation running 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.
Stabilize/Optimize is included with the device
description (DD) software. 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.
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
resource block parameters; however, all resource
block parameters are listed in table 5-5.

Setup
Write Lock
(RB > Setup > WriteLock)
Write Lock
Write Lock (WRITE_LOCK [34]) determines if writes
are permissible to other device parameters. The Soft
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.
Comm Time Out

Resource Block Mode
(RB > Setup > Res 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.
RCas Timeout (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 RCas Timeout is set to 0, the block will not
shed from RCas. Enter a positive value in the RCas
Timeout Timeout field. Time duration is in 1/32
milliseconds (640000
= 20 secs).

Master Reset
(RB > Master Reset)
You can restart the instrument to reset parameters,
links, etc. within the instrument. However, due to the
effect that a restart can have on the instrument, and
therefore the control loop, restarting the instrument
should be used cautiously and only as a last measure.
The following procedure describes how to use Master
Reset to restart the instrument with a Field
Communicator. You can also restart the instrument
using AMS ValveLink Software or from a host system
using the Restart method included with the device
description (DD) software.
You can restart the instrument any time it is connected
to an active segment.
WARNING
Restarting the instrument may cause
loss of process control. To avoid
personal injury and property damage
caused by the release of pressure of
process fluid, provide some
temporary means of control for the
process.
5
To restart the instrument, select Resource Block and
Master Restart on the Field Communicator.
1. Restart informs you about what can happen when
an instrument restart is performed. Select Yes to
continue, or No to abort without restarting.
2. Select the desired restart action or select EXIT to
exit Restart. Select Help (not the Help button) to get
information on restart actions.
There are two different restarts: Restart Processor,
and Restart with Defaults:
When selecting either of these options, Restart
informs you of the consequences of this action and
asks if you want to continue. Select Yes to perform the
restart action or select No to select another action or
exit. Restart informs you when the restart is
completed. You must acknowledge the message to
continue.
Restart Processor—Performing a Restart Processor
has the same effect as removing power from the
instrument and re-applying power. Configuration and
calibration do not change.
Restart with Defaults—Performing a Restart with
Defaults should be done with care. This restart resets
the static and non-volatile parameters for all of the
blocks in the instrument to their initial value, as listed
in table 5-4. After a Restart with Defaults, you should
run the Setup Wizard and download the instrument
configuration from the control system to properly setup
the instrument. You also may need to re-establish
communication links and trends.

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

Data Type: Unsigned32
Time duration of the shortest cycle interval (in
1/32 millisecond) of which the resource is
capable. In the DVC 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 Series
instruments, this parameter value is fixed at 0.
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 Series 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 Series 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 Series 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 5-70 and 5-149 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 Feature Selection on page 5-5).
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 Feature Selection
on page 5-5).
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 Series instruments, this
value is fixed at 3.
Data Type: Unsigned8

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

View Lists
View lists allow the values of a set of parameters to be
accessed at the same time. Views 1 and 2 contain
operating parameters and are defined by the Fieldbus
Foundation. View 3 contains dynamic parameters and
View 4 contains static parameters with configuration
and maintenance information. Views 3 and 4 are
defined by the manufacturer.
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 5-13.
Detailed Setup
Note
(FINAL_VALUE [13]. The tranducer 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 > 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
5-4). In addition, protection is provided for various
transducer block parameters, as indicated in the
Protect Category column of table 5-13, to prevent
inadvertently overwriting key data by the host system
or user.
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.
To setup and calibrate the
instrument, the transducer block
Mode must be Manual and the
Protection must be None.
Trans Block Mode
(TB > Detailed Setup > Transducer Block Mode)
Modes
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/O
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
Note
The Setup Wizard Auto Travel and
Manual Travel methods automatically
change transducer block protection for
the user.
See table 5-13 for individual parameter details.
Initial Setup
(TB > Detailed Setup > Initial Setup)
Tvl/Press Select

Alerts
The DVC6000f 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
DeltaV, AMS ValveLink Software or a 375 Field
Communicator.
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.
5
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 −6.25%
to 106.25%. Before modification, the custom
characteristic is linear.

Additional details on setting up and
using PlantWeb Alerts can be found in

Cycle Count
The Cycle Counter (CYCLE_COUNT [73]) records the
number of times the travel changes direction. The
change in direction must occur after the deadband has
been exceeded before it can be counted as a cycle.
See figure 5-6. You can reset the Cycle Counter by
configuring it as zero.
Cycle Count Alrt Pt
Cycle Counter Alert Point
(CYCLE_COUNT_ALRT_PT [77.6]) is the value of the
Cycle Counter, in cycles, which, when exceeded, sets
the Cycle Counter Alert.
Cycle Count DB
Cycle Counter Deadband (CYCLE_COUNT_DB
[77.7]) is the area around the travel reference point, in
percent (%) of ranged travel, that was established at
the last increment of the Cycle Counter. This area
must be exceeded before a change in travel direction
can be counted as a cycle. See figure 5-6.
Travel Accum
Tvl Closed Alrt Pt
The Travel Closed Alert is set when the value of the
travel, in percent (%) of ranged travel, goes below the
Travel Closed Alert Point (TVL_CLOSED_ALRT_PT
[77.10]).
Tvl Closed DB
Travel Closed Deadband (TVL_CLOSED_DB [77.11])
is the travel in percent (%) of ranged travel required to
clear a Travel Closed alert, once it has been set.

Travel Accumulator (TRAVEL_ACCUM [72]) records
the total change in travel, in percent (%) of ranged
travel, since the accumulator was last cleared. The
value of the Travel Accumulator increments when the
magnitude of the change exceeds the Travel
Accumulator Dead-band. See figure 5-7. You can
reset the Travel Accumulator by configuring it to zero.
Tvl Accum Alrt Pt
Travel Accumulator Alert Point
(TVL_ACCUM_ALRT_PT [77.4]) is the value of the
