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
0% of the I/P drive signal.
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.

Section 4 Calibration 4-4-
Calibration Overview
When a DVC6200p digital valve controller is ordered as part of a control valve assembly, the factory mounts the digital
valve controller on the actuator and connects the necessary tubing, then sets up and calibrates the controller.
For digital valve controllers that are ordered separately perform Device Setup to configure and calibrate the
instrument. Calibration of the pressure sensors generally is unnecessary; however if pressure sensor calibration is
required follow the appropriate procedure below.
For detailed calibration information, refer to the following calibration procedures.
Calibration
WARNING
During calibration the valve will move full stroke. To avoid personal injury and property damage caused by the release of
pressure or process fluid, isolate the valve from the process and equalize pressure on both sides of the valve or bleed off the
process fluid.
DAuto Calibration —This procedure automatically calibrates the travel. The calibration procedure uses the valve and
actuator stops as the 0% and 100% calibration points.
DManual Calibration —This procedure permits manual calibration of the travel. This calibration procedure allows you
to determine the 0% and 100% calibration points.
DRelay —This procedure permits adjustment of the pneumatic relay.
If a double‐acting relay is used, you will be prompted to run the relay adjustment when auto or manual calibration is
selected. Select Yes to adjust the relay, select No to proceed with calibration. For additional information, refer to Relay
Adjustment in this section.
Note
Relay Adjustment is only available for the double‐acting relay (Relay A).
DPressure A— This procedure permits calibrating the pressure A sensor. Normally the sensor is calibrated at the
factory and should not need calibration.
DPressure B —This procedure permits calibrating the pressure B sensor. Normally the sensor is calibrated at the
factory and should not need calibration.
DSupply Pressure —This procedure permits calibrating the supply pressure sensor. Normally the sensor is calibrated at
the factory and should not need calibration.
Auto Calibration

Performance Tuner
WARNING
During performance 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.
Performance 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 Performance Tuner can
detect internal instabilities before they become apparent in the travel response, it can generally optimize tuning more
effectively than manual tuning.

Restart Options
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, isolate the valve from the process and equalize pressure on both sides of the valve or
bleed off the process fluid.
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.
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, select No to select another action or exit. Restart informs you when
the restart is completed. You must acknowledge the message to continue.
Warm Start (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.
Cold Start (Restart with Defaults)— Performing a Restart with Defaults should be done with care. This restart resets
most of the static and non‐volatile parameters for all of the blocks in the instrument to their initial value. After a
Restart with Defaults, you should place the instrument in service (the transducer block mode to auto) and run Device
Setup 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.

To avoid personal injury or property damage caused by fire or explosion, remove power to the instrument before removing
the terminal box cover in an area which contains a potentially explosive atmosphere or has been classified as hazardous.
1. Loosen the set screw (key 58) in the cap (key 4) so that the cap can be unscrewed from the terminal box.
2. After removing the cap (key 4), note the location of field wiring connections and disconnect the field wiring from
the terminal box.
3. Separate the module base from the housing by performing the Removing the Module Base procedure.
4. Disconnect the terminal box wiring connector from the PWB assembly (key 50).
5. Remove the screw (key 72). Pull the terminal box assembly straight out of the housing.
Replacing the Terminal Box
Note
Inspect all O‐rings for wear and replace as necessary.
1. Apply lubricant, silicone sealant to the O‐ring (key 34) and install the O‐ring over the stem of the terminal box.
2. Insert the terminal box assembly stem into the housing until it bottoms out. Position the terminal box assembly so
that the hole for the screw (key 72) in the terminal box aligns with the threaded hole in the housing. Install the
screw (key 72).

3. Connect the terminal box wiring connector to the PWB assembly (key 50).
4. Reassemble the module base to the housing by performing the Replacing the Module Base procedure.
5. Reconnect the field wiring as noted in step 2 in the Removing the Terminal Box procedure.
6. Apply lubricant, silicone sealant to the O‐ring (key 36) and install the O‐ring over the 2‐5/8 inch threads of the
terminal box. Use of a tool is recommended to prevent cutting the O‐ring while installing it over the threads.
7. Apply lithium grease (key 63) to the 2‐5/8 inch threads on the terminal box to prevent seizing or galling when the
cap is installed.
8. Screw the cap (key 4) onto the terminal box until no gap remains.
9. Install the set screw (key 58) into the cap (key 4). Secure the cap by engaging the set screw.

The DVC6200p digital valve controller has a single module base that may be easily replaced in the field without
disconnecting field wiring or tubing. The master module contains the following submodules: current‐to‐pneumatic
(I/P) converter, printed wiring board assembly, and pneumatic relay. The relay position is detected by sensing the
magnet on the relay beam via a detector on the printed wiring board. This sensor is used for the minor loop feedback
(MLFB) reading. The master module can be rebuilt by replacing the submodules. See figures A‐1 and A‐2.

The DVC6200p digital valve controller is a bus‐powered instrument that provides a control valve position in response
to a digital setpoint from the control room. The following describes a direct acting DVC6200p digital valve controller
mounted on a sliding-stem piston actuator, where the valve is closed with zero power to the instrument.
The setpoint is routed into the terminal box through a single pair of wires and then to the printed wiring board
assembly submodule where it is read by the microprocessor, processed by a digital algorithm, and converted into an
analog I/P drive signal.
As the setpoint increases, the drive signal to the I/P converter increases, increasing the I/P output pressure. The I/P
output pressure is routed to the pneumatic relay submodule. The relay is also connected to supply pressure and
amplifies the small pneumatic signal from the I/P converter. The relay accepts the amplified pneumatic signal and
provides two output pressures. With relay A, an increasing setpoint will produce increasing pressure at output A and
decreasing pressure at output B. With relay B an increasing setpoint will produce decreasing pressure at output B

(output A is not available). With relay C an increasing setpoint will produce an increasing pressure on output A (output
B is not available). The output A pressure is used for double‐acting and single‐acting direct applications. The output B
pressure is used for double‐acting and single‐acting reverse applications.

As shown in figure A‐1, the increased output A pressure causes the actuator stem to move upward. The stem position
is sensed by the travel sensor. The stem continues to move upward until the correct stem position is attained. At this
point the printed wiring board assembly stabilizes the I/P drive signal. This prevents any further increase in the
pneumatic signal from the I/P converter.
As the digital setpoint decreases, the drive signal to the I/P converter submodule decreases, decreasing the I/P output
pressure. The pneumatic relay decreases the output A pressure and increases the output B pressure. The stem moves
downward until the correct position is attained. At this point the printed wiring board assembly stabilizes the I/P drive
signal. This prevents any decrease in the pneumatic signal from the I/P converter.

Transducer Block
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.

DVC6200p Digital Valve Controller
Blocks— Transducer Block
Data Type: ENUM
Write lock enable/disable
If setting is at or above a parameter's
protection level then that parameter
is read-only. Setup parameters are
any parameters that are meant to be
written by a user in order to change
its control behavior or how it reports
information. (Setup examples are:
Feedback Connection, Tuning
Constants, Cutoffs). Additional
parameters that do not effect
control are included when ALL
protection is invoked.
Allows a bumpless transition from
travel control mode to pressure
control mode in the event of control
feedback switch
Data Type: Float
Controls how quickly the new servo
transitions to the user-specified
setpoint
Data Type: Uint8
Enables the Output Synchronize
feature.
Feature to handle the case where
the linkage becomes detached, but
travel sensor reading still falls within
valid range, pressure control mode
should be enforced at this point.
Data Type: Enum
Enables the Deviation Fallback
feature.
Data Type: Float
Set deviation value, such that if
DEVIATION_FALLBACK.DEVIATION is
greater than or equal to this value,
then switch to pressure control
mode.
Data Type: Float
Time required to reach the
DEV_FALLBACK_POINT.
Data Type: Float
The deviation fallback deadband.
Data Type: Float
The minimum air supply pressure for
the pressure control mode to
activate during the DEVIATION
FALLBACK feature.
Data Type: ENUM
Controls which output block (AO or
DO) the transducer block will
respond to.
