Description
DVC6200 digital valve controllers (figures 1‐1 and 1‐2) are communicating, microprocessor‐based
current‐to‐pneumatic instruments. In addition to the traditional function of converting an input current signal to a
pneumatic output pressure, the DVC6200 digital valve controller, using the HARTr communications protocol, gives
easy access to information critical to process operation. You can gain information from the principal component of the
process, the control valve itself, using the Device Communicator at the valve, or at a field junction box, or by using a

Educational Services
For information on available courses for the DVC6200 digital valve controller, as well as a variety of other products,
contact:
There are several parameters that should be checked to ensure the control system is compatible with the DVC6200
digital valve controller.
HART Filter
Depending on the control system you are using, a HART filter may be needed to allow HART communication. The
HART filter is a passive device that is inserted in field wiring from the HART loop. The filter is normally installed near the
field wiring terminals of the control system I/O (see figure 2‐1). Its purpose is to effectively isolate the control system
output from modulated HART communication signals and raise the impedance of the control system to allow HART
communication. For more information on the description and use of the HART filter, refer to the appropriate HART
filter instruction manual.
To determine if your system requires a filter contact your Emerson sales office
Note
A HART filter is typically NOT required for any of the Emerson control systems, including PROVOXt, RS3t, and DeltaVt systems.

Voltage Available
The voltage available at the DVC6200 digital valve controller must be at least 10 VDC. The voltage available at the
instrument is not the actual voltage measured at the instrument when the instrument is connected. The voltage
measured at the instrument is limited by the instrument and is typically less than the voltage available.

Wiring Practices
April 2021
Instruction Manual
D103605X012
As shown in figure 2‐2, the voltage available at the instrument depends upon:
D the control system compliance voltage
D if a filter, wireless THUM adapter, or intrinsic safety barrier is used, and
D the wire type and length.
The control system compliance voltage is the maximum voltage at the control system output terminals at which the
control system can produce maximum loop current.
The voltage available at the instrument may be calculated from the following equation:
Voltage Available = [Control System Compliance Voltage (at maximum current)] - [filter voltage drop (if a HART filter is
used)] - [total cable resistance maximum current] - [barrier resistance x maximum current].
The calculated voltage available should be greater than or equal to 10 volts DC.
Table 2‐1 lists the resistance of some typical cables.
The following example shows how to calculate the voltage available for a Honeywellt TDC2000 control system with a
HF340 HART filter, and 1000 feet of Beldent 9501 cable:
Voltage available = [18.5 volts (at 21.05 mA)] - [2.3 volts] - [48 ohms 0.02105 amps]
Voltage available = [18.5] - [2.3] - [1.01]
Voltage available = 15.19 volts

NOTES:
Obtain filter voltage drop. The measured drop will be different than this value. The measured filter voltage drop

depends upon control system output voltage, the intrinsic safety barrier (if used), and the instrument. See note 3.
The voltage drop of the THUM adapter is linear from 2.25 volts at 3.5 mA to 1.2 volts at 25 mA.

The voltage available at the instrument is not the voltage measured at the instrument terminals. Once the instrument is

Auxiliary Terminal Wiring Length Guidelines
The Auxiliary Input Terminals of a DVC6200 with instrument level ODV can be used with a locally‐mounted switch for
initiating a partial stroke test. Some applications require that the switch be installed remotely from the DVC6200.
The length for wiring connected to the Auxiliary Input Terminals is limited by capacitance. For proper operation of the
Auxiliary Input Terminals capacitance should not exceed 100,000 pF. As with all control signal wiring, good wiring
practices should be observed to minimize adverse effect of electrical noise on the Aux Switch function.
Example Calculation: Capacitance per foot or per meter is required to calculate the length of wire that may be
connected to the Aux switch input. The wire should not exceed the capacitance limit of 100,000 pF. Typically the wire
manufacturer supplies a data sheet which provides all of the electrical properties of the wire. The pertinent parameter
is the highest possible capacitance. If shielded wire is used, the appropriate number is the “Conductor to Other
Conductor & Shield” value.
Example — 18AWG Unshielded Audio, Control and Instrumentation Cable
Manufacturer's specifications include:
Nom. Capacitance Conductor to Conductor @ 1 KHz: 26 pF/ft
Nom. Conductor DC Resistance @ 20 Deg. C: 5.96 Ohms/1000 ft
Max. Operating Voltage - UL 200 V RMS (PLTC, CMG),150 V RMS (ITC)
Allowable Length with this cable = 100,000pF /(26pF/ft) = 3846 ft
Example — 18AWG Shielded Audio, Control and Instrumentation Cable
Manufacturer's specifications include:
Nom. Characteristic Impedance: 29 Ohms
Nom. Inductance: .15 μH/ft
Nom. Capacitance Conductor to Conductor @ 1 KHz: 51 pF/ft
Nom. Cap. Cond. to other Cond. & Shield @ 1 KHz 97 pF/ft
Allowable Length with this cable = 100,000pF /(97pF/ft) = 1030 ft
The AUX switch input passes less than 1 mA through the switch contacts, and uses less than 5V, therefore, neither the
resistance nor the voltage rating of the cable are critical. Ensure that switch contact corrosion is prevented. It is

The maximum cable length for HART communication is limited by the characteristic capacitance of the cable.
Maximum length due to capacitance can be calculated using the following formulas:
Length(ft) = [160,000 - C
Length(m) = [160,000 - C

The following example shows how to calculate the cable length for a Foxborot I/A control system (1988) with a C
master
of 50, 000 pF and a Belden 9501 cable with characteristic capacitance of 50pF/ft.
Length(ft) = [160,000 - 50,000pF] [50pF/ft]
Length = 2200 ft.
The HART communication cable length is limited by the cable characteristic capacitance. To increase cable length,
select a wire with lower capacitance per foot. Contact your Emerson sales office

Commissioning the Digital Valve Controller for use with the HART
Tri‐Loop Signal Converter
To prepare the digital valve controller for use with a 333 HART Tri‐Loop, you must configure the digital valve controller
to burst mode, and select Burst Command 3. In burst mode, the digital valve controller provides digital information to
the HART Tri‐Loop HART‐to‐Analog Signal Converter. The HART Tri‐Loop converts the digital information to a 4 to 20
mA analog signal. Each burst message contains the latest value of the primary (analog input), secondary (travel
target), tertiary (configured output pressure), and quaternary (travel) variables.
To commission a DVC6200 for use with a HART Tri‐Loop, perform the following procedures.
Note
Fast-key sequences are only applicable to the 475 Field Communicator. They do not apply to the Trex Device Communicator.
Select Burst Enable and follow the prompts to enable burst mode. Then select Burst Command and follow the prompts
to configure Loop Current/PV/SV/TV/QV.
Select the HART Variable Assignments
With I/O Package
Device Communicator
Configure the HART Variable Assignments. The Primary Variable (PV) is always Analog Input. The Secondary Variable
(SV), Tertiary Variable (TV) and Quaternary Variable (QV) can be configured to any of the following variables. The
variable assignments in the DVC6200 must correspond to the variable assignments in the Tri-Loop.

If the instrument is configured to operate in pressure control mode, or detects an invalid travel sensor reading, the Travel variable
will report pressure in percent of bench set range.
Fast-key sequences are only applicable to the 475 Field Communicator. They do not apply to the Trex Device Communicator.
Guided Setup
Device CommunicatorConfigure > Guided Setup (2‐1)
To quickly setup the instrument, the following procedures will guide you through the process.
Device Setup is used to configure the unique parameters for the valve, actuator, instrument and accessory
construction. After Device Setup is complete, proceed with Auto Calibration.
Auto Calibration is used to establish the limits of physical travel. During this process, the valve will fully stroke from
one travel extreme to the other. There are three calibration options to choose from:
d Autocalibrate – Standard runs the full calibration process (recommended).
d Autocalibrate – Without Biases establishes the travel end points, but does not adjust the Minor Loop Feedback
bias. This is for advanced use when manually setting the biases for large actuators.
dAdvanced Settings allows additional custom configuration of calibration parameters. This is for advanced use
when calibrating large actuators.
Manual Setup33
Manual Setup allows you to configure the digital valve controller to your application. Table 3‐1 lists the default settings
for a standard factory configuration. You can adjust actuator response, set the various modes, alerts, ranges, travel
cutoffs and limits. You can also restart the instrument and set the protection.

Instrument Mode
There are two instrument modes for the DVC6200; In Service or Out of Service. In Service is the normal operating
mode such that the instrument follows the 420 mA control signal. Out of Service is required in some cases to modify
configuration parameters or to run diagnostics.
Note
Some changes that require the instrument to be taken Out Of Service will not take effect until the instrument is placed back In
Service or the instrument is restarted.
Write Protection
There are two Write Protection modes for the DVC6200: Not Protected or Protected. Protected prevents configuration
and calibration changes to the instrument. The default setting is Not Protected. Write Protection can be changed to
Protected remotely. However, to change Write Protection to Not Protected, you must have physical access to the
instrument. The procedure will require you to press a button ( ) on the terminal box as a security measure.
Follow the prompts on the Device Communicator display to configure the following Instrument parameters:
Identification
D HART Tag—A tag name up to 8 characters is available for the instrument. The HART tag is the easiest way to
distinguish between instruments in a multi‐instrument environment. Use the HART tag to label instruments
electronically according to the requirements of your application. The tag you assign is automatically displayed
when the Device Communicator establishes contact with the digital valve controller at power‐up.
D HART Long Tag (HART Universal Revision 7 only)—A tag name up to 32 characters is available for the instrument.

Instruction Manual
D103605X012
DDescription—Enter a description for the application with up to 16 characters. The description provides a longer
user‐defined electronic label to assist with more specific instrument identification than is available with the HART
tag.
DMessage—Enter any message with up to 32 characters. Message provides the most specific user‐defined means for
identifying individual instruments in multi‐instrument environments.
DPolling Address—If the digital valve controller is used in point‐to‐point operation, the Polling Address is 0. When
several devices are connected in the same loop, such as for split ranging, each device must be assigned a unique
polling address. The Polling Address is set to a value between 0 and 63 for HART 7 and 0 and 15 for HART 5. To
change the polling address the instrument must be Out Of Service.
For the Device Communicator to be able to communicate with a device whose polling address is not 0, it must be
configured to automatically search for all or specific connected devices.

Serial Numbers
D Instrument Serial Number—Enter the serial number on the instrument nameplate, up to 12 characters.
D Valve Serial Number—Enter the serial number for the valve in the application, up to 12 characters.
Units
D Pressure Units—Defines the output and supply pressure units in either psi, bar, kPa, or kg/cm2.
D Temperature Units—Degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. The temperature measured is from a sensor mounted on the
digital valve controller's printed wiring board.
D Analog Input Units—Permits defining the Analog Input Units in mA or percent of 4-20 mA range.
Terminal Box
DCalibration (CAL) Button—This button is near the wiring terminals in the terminal box and provides a quick means to
autocalibrate the instrument. The button must be pressed for 3 to 10 seconds. Autocalibration will move the valve
through the full range of travel whether the Instrument Mode is In Service or Out of Service. However, if the Write
Protection is Protected, this button will not be active. To abort, press the button again for 1 second. The calibration
button is disabled by default.
DAuxiliary Terminal Action—These wire terminals can be configured to initiate a partial stroke test upon detection of
a short across the (+) and (-) terminals. The terminals must be shorted for 3 to 10 seconds.
Note
Auxiliary Terminal Action is only available for instrument level ODV.
Analog Input Range
DInput Range Hi—Permits setting the Input Range High value. Input Range High should correspond to Travel Range
High, if the Zero Power Condition is configured as closed. If the Zero Power Condition is configured as open, Input
Range High corresponds to Travel Range Low. See figure 3‐1.

or if the Tvl Dev Press Fallback setting is exceeded for more than the Tvl Dev Press Fallback Time.
Note
Travel / Pressure Select must be set to Travel for double‐acting actuators
Cutoffs and Limits
DHi Limit/Cutoff Select—When the Hi Cutoff/Limit Select is configured for Cutoff, the Travel Target is set to 123%
when the Travel exceeds the Hi Cutoff Point. When the Hi Cutoff/Limit Select is configured for Limit, the Travel
Target will not exceed the Hi Limit Point.
DHi Limit/Cutoff Point—This is the point within the calibrated travel range above which the Limit or Cutoff is in effect.
When using cutoffs, a Cutoff Hi of 99.5% is recommended to ensure valve goes fully open. The Hi Cutoff/Limit is
deactivated by setting it to 125%.
DHi Soft Cutoff Rate—This setting allows the valve to ramp to the high travel extreme when the Cutoff Point is
reached at the configured rate. This provides a controlled ramp into the seat in order to minimize seat damage.
When set to 0%/sec, the Soft Cutoff rate is disabled.
DLo Limit/Cutoff Select—When the Lo Cutoff/Limit Select is configured for Cutoff, the Travel Target is set to 23%
when the Travel is below the Lo Cutoff Point. When the Hi Cutoff/Limit Select is configured for Limit, the Travel
Target will not fall below the Lo Limit Point.
DLo Limit/Cutoff Point—This is the point within the calibrated travel range below which the Limit or Cutoff is in effect.
When using cutoffs, a Cutoff Lo of 0.5% is recommended to help ensure maximum shutoff seat loading. The Lo
Limit/Cutoff is deactivated by setting it to 25%.
DLo Soft Cutoff Rate—This setting allows the valve to ramp to the low travel extreme when the Cutoff Point is reached
at the configured rate. This provides a controlled ramp into the seat in order to minimize seat damage. When set to
0%/sec, the Soft Cutoff rate is disabled.
Pressure Control
DPressure Range High—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.
DPressure Range Lo—The low end of the output pressure range. Enter the pressure that corresponds to 0% valve
travel when Zero Power Condition is closed, or 100% valve travel when Zero Power Condition is open. This pressure
must be less than the Pressure Range Hi.

Pressure Fallback
Note
Pressure Fallback is available for instrument level AD, PD, ODV.
DTvl Dev Press Fallback—When the difference between the travel target and the actual travel exceeds this value for
more than the Tvl Dev Press Fallback Time, the instrument will disregard the travel feedback and control based on
output pressure.
DTvl Dev Press Fallback Time—This is the time, in seconds, that the travel target and the actual travel must be
exceeded before the instrument falls back into pressure control.
DFallback Recovery—If the instrument has fallen into pressure control and the feedback problem is resolved, recovery
to travel control can occur automatically or with manual intervention. To return to travel control when Manual
Recovery is selected, change the Fallback Recovery to Auto Recovery, and then back to Manual Recovery (if
desired).
Control Mode
DControl Mode—This displays the current control mode of the instrument. This will show Analog if the instrument is
in PointtoPoint mode and is using a 420 mA signal for its power and set point. This will show Digital if the
instrument is in Multidrop mode and is using 24 VDC for power and a digital set point for control.
Note
Another mode, Test, may be displayed. Normally the instrument should not be in the Test mode. The digital valve controller
automatically switches to this mode whenever it needs to stroke the valve during calibration or stroke valve, for example.
However, if you abort from a procedure where the instrument is in the test mode, it may remain in this mode. To take the
instrument out of the Test mode, select Change Control Mode and enter Analog or Digital.
D Change Control Mode—This allows the user to configure the control mode to Analog or Digital.
D Restart Control Mode—This defines the Control Mode of the instrument after a restart (e.g. power cycle). Available
choices are Resume Last, Analog and Digital.

Characterization
DInput Characterization
Input Characterization defines the relationship between the travel target and ranged set point. Ranged set point is the
input to the characterization function. If the zero power condition equals closed, then a set point of 0% corresponds to
a ranged input of 0%. If the zero power condition equals open, a set point of 0% corresponds to a ranged input of 100%.
Travel target is the output from the characterization function.
To select an input characterization, select Input Characterization from the Characterization menu. You can select from
the three fixed input characteristics shown in figure 3‐2 or you can select a custom characteristic. Figure 3‐2 shows the
relationship between the travel target and ranged set point for the fixed input characteristics, assuming the Zero
Power Condition is configured as closed.
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.
DCustom Characterization
To define a custom input character, select Custom Characterization from the Characterization menu. Select the point
you wish to define (1 to 21), then enter the desired set point value. Press Enter then enter the desired travel target for
the corresponding set point. When finished, select point 0 to return to the Characterization menu.
With input characterization you can modify the overall characteristic of the valve and instrument combination.
Selecting an equal percentage, quick opening, or custom (other than the default of linear) input characteristic
modifies the overall valve and instrument characteristic. However, if you select the linear input characteristic, the
overall valve and instrument characteristic is the characteristic of the valve, which is determined by the valve trim (i.e.,
the plug or cage).

Dynamic Response
DSP Rate Open—Maximum rate (% of valve travel per second) at which the digital valve controller will move to the
open position regardless of the rate of input current change. A value of 0 will deactivate this feature and allow the
valve to stroke open as fast as possible.
DSP Rate Close—Maximum rate (% of valve travel per second) at which the digital valve controller will move to the
close position regardless of the rate of input current change. A value of 0 will deactivate this feature and allow the
valve to stroke close as fast as possible.
DSet Point Filter Time (Lag Time)—The Set Point Filter Time (Lag Time) slows the response of the digital valve
controller. A value ranging from 0.2 to 10.0 can be used for noisy or fast processes to improve closed loop process
control. Entering a value of 0.0 will deactivate the lag filter.
Note
Set Point Filter Time (Lag Time) is available for instrument level HC, AD, and PD.
DLead/Lag Set Point Filter—ODV devices have access to a lead‐lag set point filter that can be used to improve a valve's
dynamic response. The lead‐lag filter is part of the set point processing routine that reshapes the input signal before
it becomes travel set point. Lead‐lag filters are characterized by lead and lag time constants.
Note
Lead/Lag is only available for instrument level ODV.
When the valve is in its active control region (off the seat), the lead‐lag filter improves small amplitude response by
momentarily overdriving the travel set point. This is useful when the actuator is large and equipped with accessories.
As a result, any volume boosters that are present will be activated. The longer the lag time, the more pronounced the
overdrive. Since the lead‐lag input filter is used to enhance the dynamic response of a control valve, filter parameters
should be set after the tuning parameters have been established.
When the valve is at its seat, the lead‐lag filter also has a boost function that sets the initial conditions of the filter
artificially low so that small amplitude signal changes appear to be large signal changes to the filter. The boost
function introduces a large spike that momentarily overdrives the instrument and activates any external volume
boosters that may be present. The lead‐lag boost function is normally disabled except for those cases where the valve
must respond to small command signals off the seat. By setting the lead/lag ratio in the opening and closing directions
to 1.0, the boost function can be enabled without introducing lead‐lag dynamics in the active control region. See table
3‐2 for typical lead‐lag filter settings.

Changes to the tuning set may cause the valve/actuator assembly to stroke. To avoid personal injury and property damage
caused by moving parts, keep hands, tools, and other objects away from the valve/actuator assembly.
DTravel Tuning Set
There are eleven tuning sets to choose from. Each tuning set provides a preselected value for the digital valve
controller gain settings. Tuning set C provides the slowest response and M provides the fastest response.

DStabilize/Optimize
WARNING
During Stabilize/Optimize the valve may move, causing process fluid or pressure to be released. To avoid personal injury
and property damage caused by the release of process fluid or pressure, isolate the valve from the process and equalize
pressure on both sides of the valve or bleed off the process fluid.
Stabilize/Optimize permits you to adjust valve response by changing the digital valve controller tuning. During this
routine the instrument must be out of service, however, the instrument will respond to setpoint changes.
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, select DecreaseDamping to select a damping value that allows more overshoot. Select Increase Damping to select a damping value that
will decrease the overshoot. When finished, select done.

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).
Note
Use Expert tuning only if standard tuning has not achieved the desired results.
Stabilize/Optimize, or Performance Tuner in ValveLink software, may be used to achieve the desired results more rapidly than
Expert tuning.
DProportional Gain—the proportional gain for the pressure control tuning set. Changing this parameter will also
change the tuning set to Expert.
DMLFB Gain—the minor loop feedback gain for the pressure control tuning set. Changing this parameter will also
change the tuning set to Expert.
DIntegral Enable—Yes or No. Enable the pressure integral setting to improve static performance by correcting for
error that exists between the pressure target and actual pressure. Pressure Integral Control is enabled by default.
DIntegral Gain—Pressure Integral Gain (also called reset) is the gain factor applied to the time integral of the error
signal between desired and actual pressure.This feature is used during pressure control for greater accuracy during
pressure control/fallback. Changing this parameter will also change the tuning set to Expert.
Travel/Pressure Integral Settings
DIntegral Dead Zone—A window around the Primary Setpoint in which integral action is disabled. The Dead Zone is
configurable from 0% to 2%, corresponding to a symmetric window from 0% to +/-2% around the Primary Setpoint.

Instruction Manual
D103605X012
Integral Dead Zone is used to eliminate friction induced limit cycles around the Primary Setpoint when the
integrator is active. This dead zone value is used during the Auto Calibration of Travel procedure even if the travel
integral is disabled; in the case of Auto Calibration travel failures with piston actuators, this value should be set to
1%. Default value is 0.26%.
DIntegrator Limit—The Integrator Limit provides an upper limit to the integrator output. The high limit is configurable
from 0 to 100% of the I/P drive signal.
Valve and Actuator
Device CommunicatorConfigure > Manual Setup > Valve and Actuator (2‐2‐5)
Valve Style—Enter the valve style, rotary or sliding‐stem
Actuator Style—Enter the actuator style, spring and diaphragm, piston double‐acting without spring, piston
single‐acting with spring, or piston double‐acting with spring.
Feedback Connection—Refer to table 3‐6 for Feedback Connection options. Choose the assembly that matches the
actuator travel range.
Note
As a general rule, do not use less than 60% of the magnet assembly travel range for full travel measurement. Performance will
decrease as the assembly is increasingly subranged.
The linear magnet assemblies have a valid travel range indicated by arrows molded into the piece. This means that the hall sensor
(on the back of the DVC6200 housing) has to remain within this range throughout the entire valve travel. The linear magnet
assemblies are symmetrical. Either end may be up.

Relay Type—There are three categories of relays that result in combinations from which to select.
Relay Type: The relay type is printed on the label affixed to the relay body.
A = double‐acting or single‐acting
B = single‐acting, reverse
C= single‐acting, direct
Special App: This is used in single‐acting applications where the “unused” output port is configured to read the
pressure downstream of a solenoid valve.
Lo Bleed: The label affixed to the relay body indicates whether it is a low bleed version.

Travel Sensor Motion
WARNING
If you answer YES to the prompt for permission to move the valve when determining travel sensor motion, the instrument
will move the valve through a significant portion of its travel range. To avoid personal injury and property damage caused
by the release of process fluid or pressure, isolate the valve from the process and equalize pressure on both sides of the
valve or bleed off the process fluid.
Select Clockwise/Toward Bottom, or Counterclockwise/Toward Top. Travel Sensor Motion establishes the proper
travel sensor rotation. For quarter‐turn actuators determine rotation by viewing the rotation of the magnet assembly
from the back of the instrument.
Note
Travel Sensor Motion in this instance refers to the motion of the magnet assembly. Note that the magnet assembly may be
referred to as a magnetic array in user interface tools.
DFor instruments with Relay A and C: If increasing air pressure at output A causes the magnet assembly to move
down or the rotary shaft to turn clockwise, enter CW/To Bottom Inst. If it causes the magnet assembly to move up,
or the rotary shaft to turn counterclockwise, enter CCW/To Top Inst.
DFor instruments with Relay B: If decreasing air pressure at output B causes the magnet assembly to down, or the
rotary shaft to turn clockwise, enter CW/To Bottom Inst. If it causes the magnet assembly to move up, or the rotary
shaft to turn counterclockwise, enter CCW/To Top Inst.
Maximum Supply Pressure
Enter the maximum supply pressure that is required to fully stroke the valve.

Port A Pressure Limit
In single acting direct only applications, the instrument will limit the output pressure to the actuator from Port A.
When this pressure limit is exceeded the device will go to the no air state.
CAUTION
This is a firmware controlled feature that requires loop power to the instrument. If loop power is lost, or there is an
electronic or firmware failure, the protection feature will not remain in effect.
Output Pressure Limit Enable enables/disables the Port A Pressure Limit feature.
Note
There is an associated alert available with this feature. See the Port A Overpressurized alert in the Alert Setup section.
Partial Stroke is only available for instrument level ODV.
Partial Stroke Test Parameters
Test Start Point defines the normal (not tripped) end of valve travel. The valve must be at this end for a PST to be
initiated. Setting this value to Not Configured will disable partial stroke tests.
Travel Hi Hi defines, in percent (%) of calibrated travel, the point above which the valve is considered to have reached
the high end.
Travel Lo Lo defines, in percent (%) of calibrated travel, the point below which the valve is considered to have reached
the low end.
Pause Time is the time between the outgoing and incoming strokes of the test. The default value is 5 seconds. Pause
Time will not be used if Short Duration PST is enabled. The outgoing stroke is from the normal end to the PST target
and the incoming stroke is the return stroke to normal. See figure 3‐4.
