Description
DVC6200p digital valve controllers are communicating, microprocessor‐based instruments. In addition to the
traditional function of converting a digital signal to a pneumatic output pressure, the DVC6200p digital valve
controller, using PROFIBUS PA communications protocol, gives easy access to information critical to process operation
as well as process control. It includes AO, AI, DO, and two DI function blocks in addition to the physical and transducer
blocks.
Using a compatible profibus configuration device, you can obtain information about the health of the instrument. You
can also obtain asset information about the actuator or valve manufacturer, model, and serial number. You can set
input and output configuration parameters and calibrate the instrument.
Using the PROFIBUS protocol, information from the instrument can be integrated into control systems.
The DVC6200p can be mounted on single or double‐acting sliding‐stem actuators, as shown in figure 1‐1, or on rotary
actuators. It can also be integrally mounted to the Fisher GX control valve and actuator system, as shown in figure 1‐2.
The DVC6200p mounts on most Fisher and other manufacturers' rotary and sliding‐stem actuators.

Instrument Blocks
The digital valve controller is a block‐based device. For detailed information on the blocks within the digital valve
controller, see the Detailed Setup section of this manual.
The DVC6200p digital valve controller includes the physical and transducer block:
DPhysical Block—The physical block contains the hardware specific characteristics associated with a device; it has no
input or output parameters. The physical block monitors and controls the general operation of other blocks within
the device. For example, when the mode of the physical block is Out of Service, it impacts all function blocks.
DTransducer 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.

Function Blocks
In addition to the physical and transducer block, the digital valve controller contains the following function blocks.
DAnalog 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.
DDiscrete 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 normally open or closed control and the ability to position
the valve in 5% increments for coarse throttling applications. If the AO block is selected, the DO block is not
functional.
DAnalog Input (AI) Function Block—The analog input function block monitors the signal from a DVC6200p sensor or
internal measurement and provides it to another block.
DDiscrete Input (DI) Function Block—The discrete input function block processes a single discrete input from a
DVC6200p 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.
DAlarm Transducer Block—The Alarm Transducer Block manages the device alarms. Active alarms are monitored and
displayed as active. Working with the Logbook Block those alarms active and configured are time/date stamped and
written to the Logbook block.
DLogbook Function Block—The Logbook Function Block will store any alarm that is active and configured to record an
occurrence of the alarm to the logbook. Logbook entries are written from active alarms in the Alarm Transducer
Block. Each Logbook entry is time/date stamped. A maximum of 260 log entries are allowed.

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.
There are eleven Travel 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. Table 3‐2 lists the proportional gain,
velocity gain and minor loop feedback gain values for preselected tuning sets.
In addition, you can specify Expert tuning and individually set the proportional gain, velocity gain, and minor loop

Change Tuning and Integral Settings
Travel Tuning
D Travel Tuning Set, there are eleven Travel Tuning Sets to choose from. Each tuning set provides a preselected value
for the digital valve controller gain settings.
DTravel Proportional Gain, for travel control tuning only. Changing this parameter will also change the tuning set to
Expert.
DTravel Velocity Gain, for travel control tuning only. Changing this parameter will also change the tuning set to
Expert.
DTravel MLFB Gain is the minor loop feedback gain for travel control only. Changing this parameter will also change
the tuning set to Expert.
DTravel Integral Gain (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.
DTravel Integral Dead Zone is a window around the Primary Setpoint in which the integral action is disabled. The dead
band is configurable from 0 to 2% corresponding to a symmetric window from 0% to +/-2% around the Primary
Setpoint. 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%.
DTravel Integral Limit Hi provides an upper limit to the integrator output. The high limit is configurable from 0 to
100% of the I/P drive signal.
DTravel Integral Limit Lo provides a lower limit to the integrator output. The low limit is configurable from -100 to 0%
of the I/P drive signal.
DTravel Integral Enable is used to enable the integral setting to improve static performance by correcting for error
that exists between the travel target and actual travel.
Pressure Tuning
DPressure Tuning Set, there are twelve Pressure Tuning Sets to choose from. Each tuning set provides a preselected
value for the digital valve controller gain settings.
DPressure Proportional Gain, for pressure control tuning only. Changing this parameter will also change the tuning
set to Expert.
DPressure Integral Gain (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. 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.
DPressure Integral Dead Zone is a window around the Primary Setpoint in which the integral action is disabled. The
dead band is configurable from 0 to 2%.
DPressure Integral Limit Hi provides an upper limit to the integrator output. The high limit is configurable from 0 to
100% of the I/P drive signal.

DPressure Integral Limit Lo provides a lower limit to the integrator output. The low limit is configurable from -100 to

DPressure MLFB Gain is the minor loop feedback gain for the pressure control tuning set. Changing this parameter
will also change the tuning set to Expert.
Tuner
WARNING
During tuning the valve may move, causing process fluid or pressure to be released. To avoid personal injury and property
damage caused by the release of process fluid or pressure, isolate the valve from the process and equalize pressure on both
sides of the valve or bleed off the process fluid.
Tuner is used to determine digital valve controller tuning. It will move the valve slightly and monitor the effects of
small tuning changes until an optimum control response is achieved. Because the tuner can detect internal instabilities
before they become apparent in the travel response, it can generally optimize tuning more effectively than manual
tuning.
Input Characterization
Input Characterization defines the relationship between the travel target and the setpoint received from the output
block. Travel target is the output from the characterization function.
Linearization Table
You can select from the three fixed input characteristics shown in figure 3‐3 or you can select a custom characteristic.
Figure 3‐3 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
Linearization Type
Select the linearization type:
No linearization (default is linear)
Linearization table
Equal percentage— a valve flow characteristic where equal increments of valve stem travel produce equal percentage
changes in existing flow, or
Quick opening— a valve flow characteristic where most of the change in flow rate takes place for small amounts of
stem travel from the closed position. The flow characteristic curve is basically linear through the first 40 percent of
stem travel.

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 DVC6200p housing) has to remain within this range throughout the entire valve travel. The linear magnet
assemblies are symmetrical. Either end may be up.
