for assistance. Provide the product serial number and all
Inspection and Maintenance Schedules
All products must be inspected periodically and maintained as needed. The schedule for inspection can only be
determined based on the severity of your service conditions. Your installation might also be subject to inspection
schedules set by applicable governmental codes and regulations, industry standards, company standards, or plant
standards.
In order to avoid increasing dust explosion risk, periodically clean dust deposits from all equipment.
When equipment is installed in a hazardous area location (potentially explosive atmosphere), prevent sparks by proper
tool selection and avoiding other types of impact energy. Control Valve surface temperature is dependent upon
process operating conditions.
WARNING
Control valve surface temperature is dependent upon process operating conditions. Personal injury or property damage,
caused by fire or explosion, can result if the valve body surface temperature exceeds the acceptable temperature for the
hazardous area classification. To avoid an increase of instrumentation and/or accessory surface temperature due to process
operating conditions, ensure adequate ventilation, shielding, or insulation of control valve components installed in a
potentially hazardous or explosive atmosphere.

Installation
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before mounting
the product:
D Do not install any system component where service conditions could exceed the limits given in this manual or the limits
on the appropriate nameplates. Use pressure‐relieving devices as required by government or accepted industry codes
and good engineering practices.
D Always wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation operations.
D Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
D Disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the
actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve.
D 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.
D Vent the pneumatic actuator loading pressure and relieve any actuator spring precompression so the actuator is not
applying force to the valve stem; this will allow for the safe removal of the stem connector.
D Use lock‐out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
D The valve packing box might contain process fluids that are pressurized, even when the valve has been removed from the
pipeline. Process fluids might spray out under pressure when removing the packing hardware or packing rings, or when
loosening the packing box pipe plug. Cautiously remove parts so that fluid escapes slowly and safely.
D The instrument is capable of supplying full supply pressure to connected equipment. To avoid personal injury and
equipment damage, caused by sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts, make sure the supply pressure
never exceeds the maximum safe working pressure of any connected equipment.
D Severe personal injury or property damage may occur from an uncontrolled process if the instrument air supply is not
clean, dry and oil‐free, or noncorrosive gas. While use and regular maintenance of a filter that removes particles larger
than 40 microns will suffice in most applications, check with an Emerson Automation Solutions field office and Industry
Instrument air quality standards for use with corrosive gas or if you are unsure about the proper amount or method of
air filtration or filter maintenance.
D For corrosive media, make sure the tubing and instrument components that contact the corrosive media are of suitable
corrosiion-resistant material. The use of unsuitable materials might result in personal injury or property damage due to
the uncontrolled release of the corrosive media.
D If natural gas or other flammable or hazardous gas is to be used as the supply pressure medium and preventive
measures are not taken, personal injury and property damage could result from fire or explosion of accumulated gas or
from contact with hazardous gas. Preventive measures may include, but are not limited to: Remote venting of the unit,
re‐evaluating the hazardous area classification, ensuring adequate ventilation, and the removal of any ignition sources.
D To avoid personal injury or property damage resulting from the sudden release of process pressure, use a high‐pressure
regulator system when operating the controller or transmitter from a high‐pressure source.
The instrument or instrument/actuator assembly does not form a gas‐tight seal, and when the assembly is in an
enclosed area, a remote vent line, adequate ventilation, and necessary safety measures should be used. Vent line piping
should comply with local and regional codes and should be as short as possible with adequate inside diameter and few
bends to reduce case pressure buildup. However, a remote vent pipe alone cannot be relied upon to remove all
hazardous gas, and leaks may still occur.
D Personal injury or property damage can result from the discharge of static electricity when flammable or hazardous
gases are present. Connect a 14 AWG (2.08 mm
2
) ground strap between the instrument and earth ground when
3
DVC6000 Digital Valve Controller
September 2018
flammable or hazardous gases are present. Refer to national and local codes and standards for grounding
requirements.
D Personal injury or property damage caused by fire or explosion may occur if electrical connections are attempted in an
area that contains a potentially explosive atmosphere or has been classified as hazardous. Confirm that area
classification and atmosphere conditions permit the safe removal of covers before proceeding.
D For instruments with a hollow liquid level displacer, the displacer might retain process fluid or pressure. Personal injury
or property damage due to sudden release of pressure, contact with hazardous fluid, fire, or explosion can be caused by
puncturing, heating, or repairing a displacer that is retaining process pressure or fluid. This danger may not be readily
apparent when disassembling the sensor or removing the displacer. Before disassembling the sensor or removing the
displacer, observe the appropriate warnings provided in the sensor instruction manual.
D Personal injury or property damage, caused by fire or explosion from the leakage of flammable or hazardous gas, can
result if a suitable conduit seal is not installed. For explosion‐proof applications, install the seal no more than 457 mm
(18 inches) from the instrument when required by the nameplate. For ATEX applications use the proper cable gland
certified to the required category. Equipment must be installed per local and national electric codes.
D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
D If installing into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING in the Maintenance section.

Instruments Mounted on Tank or Cage
WARNING
For instruments mounted on a tank or displacer cage, release trapped pressure from the tank and lower the liquid level to a
point below the connection. This precaution is necessary to avoid personal injury from contact with the process fluid.
Instruments With a Hollow Displacer or Float
WARNING
For instruments with a hollow liquid level displacer, the displacer might retain process fluid or pressure. Personal injury
and property might result from sudden release of this pressure or fluid. Contact with hazardous fluid, fire, or explosion can
be caused by puncturing, heating, or repairing a displacer that is retaining process pressure or fluid. This danger may not
be readily apparent when disassembling the sensor or removing the displacer. A displacer that has been penetrated by
process pressure or fluid might contain:
D pressure as a result of being in a pressurized vessel
D liquid that becomes pressurized due to a change in temperature
D liquid that is flammable, hazardous or corrosive.
Handle the displacer with care. Consider the characteristics of the specific process liquid in use.Before removing the
displacer, observe the appropriate warnings provided in the sensor instruction manual.

Description
DVC6000 SIS digital valve controllers (figure 1-1) are
communicating, microprocessor-based
current-to-pneumatic instruments. The DVC6000 SIS
digital valve controller for Safety Instrumented System
(SIS) Solutions monitors the health of final control
elements and solenoid valves; the primary function of
the DVC6000 SIS is to actuate its pneumatic outputs
in response to a demand signal from a logic solver,
which should move the valve to the configured safe
state.
Using HART communications protocol the digital
valve controller allows 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 Field Communicator at
the valve or at a field junction box, or by using a
personal computer or operator’s console within the
control room.
DVC6000 SIS instruments permits partial stroking of
the valve to minimize the chance of valve failure upon
a safety demand and, consequently, the possibility of
catastrophic situations. A partial stroke test verifies
valve movement with a small ramp to the input. This
ramp is small enough not to disrupt production, but is
large enough to confirm that the valve is working.
DVC6000 SIS instruments also provide state-of-the-art

testing methods, which reduce testing and
maintenance time, improve system performance, and
provide diagnostic capabilities.
Using a personal computer and ValveLink software,
AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager, or a Field
Communicator, you can perform several operations
with the DVC6000 SIS digital valve controller. You can

Diagnostic information is available to aid you when
troubleshooting. Input and output configuration
parameters can be set, and the digital valve controller
can be calibrated. Refer to table 1-1 for details on the
capabilities of the DVC6000 SIS.
Using the HART protocol, information from the field
can be integrated into control systems or be received
on a single loop basis.

The DVC6000 SIS can be used with either air or
natural gas as the supply medium. If using natural gas
as the pneumatic supply medium, natural gas will be
used in the pneumatic output connections of the
DVC6000 SIS to any connected equipment. In normal
operation the unit will vent the supply medium into the
surrounding atmosphere unless it is remotely vented.
When using natural gas as the supply medium, in a
non-hazardous location in a confined area, remote
venting of the unit is required. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury, property damage, and area
re-classification. For hazardous locations remote
venting of the unit may be required, depending upon
the area classification, and as specified by the
requirements of local, regional, and national codes,
rules and regulations. Failure to do so when necessary
could result in personal injury, property damage, and
area re-classification.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property
damage from sudden release of
process pressure or bursting of parts.
Before proceeding with any
Installation procedures:
Always wear protective clothing,
gloves, and eyewear.
Personal injury or property
damage may result from fire or
explosion if natural gas is used as the
supply medium and appropriate
preventive measures are not taken.
Preventive measures may include, but
are not limited to, one or more of the
following: Remote venting of the unit,
re-evaluating the hazardous area
classification, ensuring adequate
ventilation, and the removal of any
ignition sources. For information on
remote venting of this controller, refer
to page 2-22.
If installing this into an existing
application, also refer to the
WARNING at the beginning of the
Maintenance section of this
instruction manual.
Check with your process or
safety engineer for any additional
measures that must be taken to
protect against process media.
WARNING
To avoid static discharge from the
cover when flammable gases or dust
are present, do not rub or clean the
cover with solvents. To do so could
result in a spark that may cause the
flammable gases or dust to explode,
resulting in personal injury or
property damage. Clean with a mild
detergent and water only.
WARNING
This unit vents the supply medium
into the surrounding atmosphere.
When installing this unit in a
non-hazardous (non-classified)
location in a confined area, with
natural gas as the supply medium,
you must remotely vent this unit to a
safe location. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or property
damage from fire or explosion, and
area re-classification.
When installing this unit in a
hazardous (classified) location remote
venting of the unit may be required,
depending upon the area
classification, and as specified by the
requirements of local, regional, and
national codes, rules and regulations.
Failure to do so when necessary
could result in personal injury or
property damage from fire or
explosion, and area re-classification.
Vent line piping should comply with
local and regional codes and should
be as short as possible with adequate
inside diameter and few bends to
reduce case pressure buildup.

DVC6010 SIS on Sliding-Stem Actuators
Up to 102 mm (4 Inches) of Travel
If ordered as part of a control valve assembly, the
factory mounts the digital valve controller on the
actuator, makes pneumatic connections to the
actuator, sets up, and calibrates the instrument. If you
purchased the digital valve controller separately, you
will need a mounting kit to mount the digital valve
controller on the actuator. See the instructions that
come with the mounting kit for detailed information on
mounting the digital valve controller to a specific
actuator model.
The DVC6010 SIS 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 DVC6020 SIS digital valve controller.
Do not use the stainless steel
DVC6010S SIS in high vibration service
where the mounting bracket uses
standoffs (spacers) to mount to the
actuator.
Refer to the following guidelines when mounting on
sliding-stem actuators with up to 4 inches of travel.
Where a key number is referenced, refer to figure 8-1.
1. Isolate the control valve from the process line
pressure and release pressure from both sides of the

DVC6020 SIS on Long-Stroke (4 to 24
Inch Travel) Sliding-Stem Actuators and
Rotary Actuators
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.
DVC6020 SIS 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 2-6 show the DVC6020 SIS 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 1051 size 33 and 1052 size 20 and 33
actuators use the short feedback arm [54 mm (2.13
inches) from roller to pivot point]. Make sure the
correct feedback arm is installed on the digital valve
controller before beginning the mounting procedure.
Refer to figures 2-4, 2-5, and 2-6 for parts locations.
Also, where a key number is referenced, refer to figure
8-2. Refer to the following guidelines when mounting
on sliding-stem actuators with 4 to 24 inches of travel
or on rotary actuators:
1. Isolate the control valve from the process line
pressure and release pressure from both sides of the
valve body. Shut off all pressure lines to the
pneumatic actuator, releasing all pressure from the
actuator. Use lock-out procedures to be sure that the
above measures stay in effect while working on the
equipment.
Note
All cams supplied with FIELDVUE
mounting kits are characterized to
provide a linear response.
2-8
2. If a cam is not already installed on the actuator,
install the cam as described in the instructions
included with the mounting kit. For sliding-stem
actuators, the cam is installed on the stem connector.
3. If a mounting plate is required, fasten the mounting
plate to the actuator.

When disconnecting any of the
pneumatic connections or any
pressure retaining part, natural gas
will seep from the unit and any
connected equipment into the
surrounding atmosphere. Personal
injury or property damage may result
from fire or explosion if natural gas is
used as the supply medium and
appropriate preventive measures are
not taken. Preventive measures may
include, but are not limited to, one or
more of the following: Remote
venting of the unit, re-evaluating the
hazardous area classification,
ensuring adequate ventilation, and
the removal of any ignition sources.
For information on remote venting of

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, connect the 1/4 NPT digital valve controller
output connections to the pneumatic actuator input
connections.
Single- Acting Actuators
When using a single-acting direct digital valve
controller (relay A or C) on a single-acting actuator
always connect OUTPUT A to the actuator pneumatic
input. Only when using relay C in the special
application (i.e. solenoid health monitoring) do you
need to connect OUTPUT B to the monitoring line.
When using a single-acting reverse digital valve
controller (relay B) on a single-acting actuator always
connect OUTPUT B to the actuator pneumatic input.
Only when using relay type B in the special application
(i.e. solenoid health monitoring) do you need to
connect OUTPUT A to the monitoring line.
Double- Acting Actuators
DVC6000 SIS digital valve controllers on double-acting
actuators always use relay A. When the relay
adjustment disc is properly set, OUTPUT A will vent to
the atmosphere and OUTPUT B will fill to supply
pressure when power is removed from the positioner.

WARNING
Personal injury or property damage
can occur from cover failure due to
overpressure. Ensure that the
housing vent opening is open and
2
free of debris to prevent pressure
buildup under the cover.
WARNING
This unit vents the supply medium
into the surrounding atmosphere.
When installing this unit in a
non-hazardous (non-classified)
location in a confined area, with
natural gas as the supply medium,
you must remotely vent this unit to a
safe location. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or property
damage from fire or explosion, and
area re-classification.
When installing this unit in a
hazardous (classified) location remote
venting of the unit may be required,
depending upon the area
classification, and as specified by the
requirements of local, regional, and
national codes, rules and regulations.
Failure to do so when necessary
could result in personal injury or
property damage from fire or
explosion, and area re-classification.
Vent line piping should comply with
local and regional codes and should
be as short as possible with adequate
inside diameter and few bends to reduce case pressure buildup.
In addition to remote venting of the
unit, ensure that all caps and covers
are correctly installed. Failure to do
so could result in personal injury or
property damage from fire or explosion, and area re-classification.
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 DVC6010 SIS and
DVC6030 SIS digital valve controllers and
DVC6005 SIS base unit— remove the plastic vent
(key 52, figure 8-1). The vent connection is 3/8 NPT
internal. At a minimum, 12.7 mm (1/2-inch) tubing
should be used when installing a remote vent to
prevent excessive pressure from building up under the
cover.
To connect a remote vent to DVC6020 SIS digital
valve controllers— Replace the standard mounting
bracket (key 74, figure 8-2) with the vent-away bracket
(key 74). Install a pipe plug in the vent-away mounting
bracket (key 74). Mount the digital valve controller on
the actuator as described in the Installation section of
this manual. The vent connection is 3/8 NPT internal.
At a minimum, 12.7 mm (1/2-inch) tubing should be
used when installing a remote vent to prevent
excessive pressure from building up under the cover.

3RD PARTY FEEDBACK ELEMENT
(WITH 10k W POTENTIOMETER)
The base unit (DVC6005 SIS) 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 of the DVC6005
SIS 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. Mount the external 10 kOhm potentiometer to the
actuator such that the mid-travel position of the
potentiometer (5 kOhm) corresponds to the mid-travel
position of the actuator. 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 (see figure 2-16).
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 2-22).

The voltage available at the DVC6000 SIS digital valve
controller must be at least 11 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.
As shown in figure 2-24, the voltage available at the

Installation in a Safety Instrumented
System
A DVC6000 SIS instrument may be used in a Safety
Instrumented System (SIS) to control operation of a
safety block valve or vent valve. The actuator may be
either single-acting or double-acting with spring return.
DVC6000 SIS instruments will have the label shown in
figure 2-26 on the terminal box cover.
The digital valve controller may be installed with a
solenoid valve in either a 4-wire system, (figure 2-28),
in a 2-wire system (figure 2-29), or a 2-wire system
without a solenoid valve (figure 2-30). The digital valve
controller ships from the factory with the DIP switch on
the printed wiring board set to the correct position per
the ordered option.
When operating with a 4-20 mA current signal, the
digital valve controller must be setup for point-to-point
operation. When operating with a voltage signal, the
digital valve controller must be setup for multi-drop
operation. The operational mode is determined by a
DIP switch on the printed wiring board. As shown in
figure 2-27, the nameplate indicates the operational
mode set on the printed wiring board at the factory.
For information on verifying or changing the switch
position, refer to Replacing the PWB Assembly and
Setting the DIP Switch and table 7-2 in the
Maintenance section.
Installation in a 4-Wire System
Figure 2-28 is an example of the digital valve controller
installed in a 4-wire system. In this installation, two
separate signals are used: a 4-20 mA DC signal (from
the Logic Solver or DCS) for the digital valve controller
and a 24 VDC signal (from the Logic Solver) for the
solenoid valve.

Note
When a solenoid valve operated by an
independent power supply is used
pneumatically in series with a
DVC6000 SIS, the power source could
be 24/48 VDC, 110/220 VAC, etc. Power
supply is dependent on customer
specifications.
The digital valve controller control mode is set to
“analog”. When a shutdown condition exists, the logic
solver (or DCS) activates the solenoid valve and also
cuts the current to the digital valve controller to 0 or
4 mA, thus causing the valve to move to its zero travel

control mode is set to “digital”. When a shutdown
condition exists, the logic solver cuts power to both the
digital valve controller and the solenoid valve (if
connected), causing the valve to move to it’s zero
travel position. A Fisher LC340 line conditioner is
required to allow HART communications over the
segment. Alternatively, an impedance boosting
multiplexer (available from MTL, Pepperl+Fuchs/Elcon
and others) may be used, eliminating the need for a
line conditioner when installed as per figure 2-30.
Note
Use of a solenoid valve is optional,
and dependent on stroking speed and
other operating conditions.

The line conditioner introduces an approximate 2.0
volt drop in the SIS system wiring with a 50 mA load. If
used with a solenoid valve (such as the ASCO
EF8316G303, EF8316G304, EFX8553G305 103594,
or EFX8551G305 103594) the guaranteed
September 2013
engagement voltage at maximum temperature must
be ensured.
ASCO EF8316 or EF8553 solenoid valves (if
connected) require up to 42 mA to pull in. The digital
valve controller set for multi-drop operation draws
approximately 8 mA. Based on these conditions, table
2-2 lists the maximum loop wire resistance permitted
for various logic solver output voltages. The table also
lists maximum length of wire of various gauges that
may be used.
The line conditioner is intended for installation in a
control or marshalling cabinet near the logic solver
field wiring terminals. In some installations, such as
shown in figure 2-30, where no solenoid is used, an
impedance boosting multiplexer may be used in place
of a line conditioner. The LC340 line conditioner will be
needed when a low-power solenoid is connected to
the same 2-wire loop as the digital valve controller as
shown in figure 2-29.

Note
CAUTION
Do not overtighten the wiring
connection terminals or subject them
to heavy lateral (pushing) loads. This
could damage the line conditioner.
1. Be sure the digital valve controller DIP switch is set
for multi-drop operation.
2. Connect the digital valve controller LOOP +
terminal to the line conditioner FLD + terminal.
3. Connect the digital valve controller LOOP −
terminal to the line conditioner FLD − terminal.
4. Connect the solenoid valve field terminals to the
line conditioner FLD + and − terminals.
Using the digital valve controller in a
2-wire system (multi-drop operation)

valve EF8316G303, EF8316G304,
EFX8553G305 103594 or EFX8551G305
103594 (or an equivalent low-power
solenoid valve) requires a line
conditioner. Using a low-power piloted
solenoid valve requires a separate air
supply.
When using an EF8316G303 or
EF8316G304 ensure that the solenoid
valve’s “selection gasket” is in the
“External Position”. The use of
external piloting requires the pilot
pressure to be at least 15 psig higher
than the main line pressure.
5. Connect the logic solver output to the line

After choosing the appropriate tuning set, a message
appears on the display, asking if you would like to
download factory defaults for Setup. Yes is
recommended for Initial Setup. Refer to table 3-3 for
factory download defaults.
Follow the prompts on the Field Communicator
display. The calibration procedure uses the valve and
actuator stops as the 0% and 100% calibration points.
For additional information, refer to Auto Calibrate
Travel in the Calibration section.
Once Auto Calibration is complete, you will be asked
to enter the desired stroke test speed (default is
0.25%/sec). An additional automatic PST calibration is
run to determine the default value or the partial stroke
pressure limit for single acting actuators (this will be
differential pressure for double acting) and pressure
set point for End Point Pressure Control.
When calibration is complete, you are asked if you
wish to adjust the relay (double-acting only). Select
yes to adjust the relay. For additional information, refer
to Relay Adjustment in the Calibration section.
September 2013
Note
Relay Adjustment is only available for
the double-acting relay (Relay A).
After instrument setup is completed, and you have
placed the instrument in service, if End Point Pressure
Control not enabled, you will be prompted to enable it.
Select yes. Refer to Partial Stroke Variables in the
Detailed Setup section for more information.
If after completing auto setup and auto calibration the
valve seems slightly unstable or unresponsive, you
can improve operation by selecting PerformanceTuner from the Guided Setup menu. For additional
information on using the Performance Tuner to
optimize digital valve controller tuning, refer to the
Performance Tuner information below.
3-5
DVC6000 SIS
Performance Tuner (1-1-2)
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
3
both sides of the valve or bleed off
the process fluid.
The Performance Tuner is used to optimize digital
valve controller tuning. It can be used with digital valve
controllers mounted on most sliding-stem and rotary
actuators, including Fisher and other manufacturers’
products. Moreover, 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.
Typically, the Performance Tuner takes 3 to 5 minutes
to tune an instrument, although tuning instruments
mounted on larger actuators may take longer.
Access the Performance Tuner by selecting
Performance Tuner from the Guided Setup menu.
Follow the prompts on the Field Communicator display
to optimize digital valve controller tuning.

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.
Choose Digital control mode if the instrument is to
receive its set point digitally by a 0-24 VDC control
(1)
signal, via the HART communications link.
A third mode, Test, is also displayed. Normally the
instrument should not be in the Test mode. The Field
Communicator 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 ControlMode then select either Analog or Digital.
Restart Control Mode
Restart Control Mode lets you choose which operating
mode you want the instrument to be in after a restart.
4
Access Restart Control mode by selecting Restart
Control Mode from the Mode and Protection menu.
Follow the prompts on the Field Communicator display
to define the restart control mode as Resume Last,
Analog, or Digital.
Burst Mode
Enabling burst mode provides continuous
communication from the digital valve controller. Burst
mode applies only to the transmission of burst mode
data (analog input, travel target, pressure, and travel)
and does not affect the way other data is accessed.
Access to information in the instrument is normally
obtained through the poll/response of HART
communication. The Field Communicator or the
control system may request any of the information that
is normally available, even while the instrument is in
burst mode. Between each burst mode transmission
sent by the instrument, a short pause allows the Field
Communicator or control system to initiate a request.
The instrument receives the request, processes the
response message, and then continues “bursting” the
burst mode data.
Control Mode
You can change the control mode by selecting Control
Mode from the Mode and Protection menu, or press
the Hot Key and select Control Mode.
Control Mode lets you define where the instrument
reads its set point. Follow the prompts on the Field
Communicator display to choose one of the following
control modes: Analog or Digital.
Choose Analog control mode if the instrument is to
receive its set point over the 4-20 mA loop. Normally
the instrument control mode is Analog.

results.
Stabilize/Optimize or Performance
Tuner may be used to achieve the
desired results more rapidly than
Expert tuning.
Table 4-4 provides tuning set selection guidelines for
Fisher actuators. These tuning sets are only
recommended starting points. After you finish setting
up and calibrating the instrument, you may have to
select either a higher or lower tuning set to get the
desired response. You can use the Performance
Tuner to optimize tuning.
September 2013
Stabilize/Optimize—Stabilize/Optimize permits
you to adjust valve response by changing the digital
valve controller tuning.
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 IncreaseResponse the valve travel overshoot is excessive,
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 finished, select done.

Table 4-5. Travel Sensor Motion Selections for the
Performance Tuner—The Performance Tuner is
used to optimize digital valve controller tuning. It can
be used with digital valve controllers mounted on most
sliding-stem and rotary actuators, including Fisher and
other manufacturers’ products. Moreover, 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. Typically, the Performance Tuner
takes 3 to 5 minutes to tune an instrument, although
tuning instruments mounted on larger actuators may
take longer.
Integral Settings (1-2-2-1-2)
Integral Dead Zone—A window around the
Primary Setpoint in which integral action is disabled.
This feature is used to eliminate friction induced limit
cycles around the Primary Setpoint when the
integrator is active. The Dead Zone is configurable
from 0% to 2%, corresponding to a symmetric window
from 0% to +/−2% around the Primary Setpoint.
Default value is 0.25%.
Integral Limit—The Integral Limit provides an
upper limit to the integrator output. The high limit is
configurable from 0 to 100% of the I/P drive signal.

Integral 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 disabled by default.

Travel/Pressure Control
Tvl/Press Cutoffs (1-2-2-2-1)
Cutoff Hi—Defines the high cutoff point for the
travel in percent (%) of ranged input current.
Cutoff Lo—Defines the low cutoff point for the
travel set point.
Change Cutoffs—Allows you to set Cutoff Hi and
Cutoff Lo. When a cutoff is set the corresponding
travel or pressure limit is disabled.
Travel cutoffs are adjustable when the DVC6000 SIS
is operating with a 4-20 mA current input. The Setup
4
Wizard automatically sets travel cutoffs at 50%,
making the DVC6000 SIS work like an on-off device.
At current levels from 4.0 to 11.99 mA, the DVC6000
SIS will provide minimum output pressure, and at 12
to 20 mA, the DVC6000 SIS will provide full output
pressure.
You can customize valve response to the control
signal by changing the travel cutoffs. For example, it is
possible to have the valve throttle between 10 and
90% travel, but work as an on-off valve between 0% to
10% and 90% to 100% travel. The user now has a
standard throttling control valve between 10% and
90% travel. Outside of this range, the valve will move
to its travel extreme (0% or 100%).
WARNING
Using the auxiliary terminal (push
button) for partial stroke testing while
the DVC6000 SIS digital valve
controller is in point-to-point mode
may cause changes in output
pressure and travel, resulting in
process instability. Depending on the
application, these changes may upset
the process, which may result in
personal injury or property damage.
If the auxiliary terminal button is
pressed for more than 3 seconds, but
less than 5 seconds, the digital valve
controller will drive the valve from its
existing travel position to 100% travel
condition for a fail close valve (or 0%
travel for a fail open valve) and
perform the partial stroke test. Once
the partial stroke test is completed,
the digital valve controller will bring
the valve back to its original travel,
corresponding to the control set
point.
Note
If you run the Setup Wizard after
adjusting the Travel Cutoffs, they will
revert back to the default values. You
will need to reset the Travel Cutoffs to
the desired settings.
Note
The partial stroke test cannot be
conducted by the Field Communicator
or ValveLink software while the digital
valve controller is in its normal travel
control mode (with adjustable cutoffs
set to a different value than the
default).
Note
In a typical 0-24 VDC de-energizeto-trip operating system, a digital valve
controller with the single-acting direct
relay will provide full output pressure
to port A when 24 VDC is applied, and
minimum (near 0) output pressure to
port A when 0 VDC is applied. With the
single-acting direct relay, there would
be no output pressure from port B.
Other configurations of the relay are
available (see table 3-2). An example of
this flexibility is the use of a
single-acting reverse relay that will
supply full pressure output at 0 VDC
input. This configuration can be useful
to provide the benefits of Partial Valve
Stroke Diagnostics but minimize the
spurious trip rate (the power to the
digital valve controller can be lost
without tripping the valve), but would
only be recommended when a
solenoid is provided to take the valve
to the safe position

End Point Pressure Control (1-2-2-2-2)
End Pt Control Enab— Yes or No. End Point
Pressure Control allows the digital valve controller to
pull back from saturation of the pneumatic output after
reaching the travel extreme. Rather than having the
instrument provide full supply pressure (saturation)
continuously at the travel extreme, the digital valve
controller switches to an End Point Pressure Control
where the output pressure (pressure controller set
point) to the actuator is controlled at a certain value.
This value is configured through Pressure Set Point.
Because the digital valve controller is constantly in
control and not allowed to reach a dormant or
saturated state, it is constantly testing its own
pneumatic system. If there is an output pressure
deviation, for example, the instrument will issue an
alert. To assure there is an alert when an output
pressure deviation occurs, set up the alert as
described under Pressure Deviation Alert.
PST Start Pt—Defines the travel stop the valve
needs to be at before a partial stroke test can be
initiated. Also defines the travel stop for end point
pressure control. Setting this value to Not Configured
will disable partial stroke tests and end point pressure
control.

enough force to maintain its rated shutoff
classification. For double-acting spring return
actuators, this is the differential pressure required to
either maintain the fully open or fully closed position,
depending on the valve and actuator configuration. For
a double-acting actuator without springs with a
fail-close valve, this is 95% of the supply pressure. If
the valve is fail-open, the upper operating pressure for
all actuator is set to the supply pressure.
Note
End Point Pressure Control will be set
automatically during the Setup Wizard
or during the Auto Calibration Travel
procedure.
Refer to table 4-7 for guidelines for manually setting
Pressure Set Point.
EPPC Saturation Time—The amount of time
the digital valve controller stays in hard cutoff before
switching to pressure control. Default is 45 seconds.

EPPC Set Point— As part of End Point Pressure
Control, Pressure Set Point is the target pressure the
positioner controls to when the valve is at the travel
stop defined by PST Start Point. Default values for
Pressure Set Point are summarized in table 4-7. When
controlling pressure in the open position, Pressure Set
Point must be set at a value that ensures the valve will
remain open. When controlling pressure in the closed
position, Pressure Set Point must be set at a value
that ensures the valve will remain closed and has

Input Characterization (1-2-2-3)
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.
4-11
DVC6000 SIS
To select an input characterization, select InputCharacterization from the Response Control menu.
You can select from the three fixed input
characteristics shown in figure 4-1 or you can select a
custom characteristic. Figure 4-1 shows the
relationship between the travel target and 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.
4
Custom Characterization Table (1-2-2-4)
To define a custom input characteristic select Custom
Characterization Table from the Response Control
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 Response Control 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).

Note
The Alerts section covers alerts and
shutdowns. An alert, if enabled, can
provide information on operation and
performance issues. A shutdown, if
enabled, and upon the occurrence of
the associated failure alert, will cause
the instrument air output to go to the
Zero Power Condition as per figure
4-6. It will remain latched in that
condition until power to the
instrument is cycled and the failure
alert has cleared. While in shutdown
condition the instrument will remain
powered up and able to communicate
via HART.

PST Pressure Limit—Partial Stroke Pressure
Limit defines the output pressure that will cause the
partial stroke test to stop. For actuators that vent from
the test starting point, the pressure limit will be a
minimum value. For actuators that fill from the test
starting point, the pressure will be a maximum value.
Pressure Deviation Alert Enable—Yes or No.
This alert notifies a monitoring system when a
deviation in the actuator pressure has occurred. This
is used when the instrument is controlling via pressure
(Pressure Control Mode is enabled) to the actuator
(rather than valve position) to prevent saturation of the
pneumatic output. When enabled, this alert checks the
difference between the target pressure and the actual
pressure. If the difference exceeds the Pressure
Deviation Alert Point for more than the pressure
deviation time, the Pressure Deviation Alert is set. It
remains set until the difference between the target
pressure and the actual pressure is less than the
Pressure Deviation Alert Point. The pressure deviation
alert point and deviation alert time are configurable
and can be disabled altogether.
Pressure Deviation Alert Point—The alert point
for the difference between the pressure target and the
actual pressure. When the difference exceeds the
alert point for more than the Pressure Deviation Time,
the Pressure Deviation Alert is set. After completion of

PST Press Limit (double-acting actuators)— During
Setup Wizard or Auto Travel Calibration, the PST
Press Limit will be set to a negative value for actuators
where the Partial Stroke Start Point is opposite of the
Zero Power Condition (e.g., Partial Stroke Start Point
= Open and Zero Power Condition = Closed) and to a
positive valve for actuators where the Partial Stroke
Start Point is the same as the Zero Power Condition.
In order to manually set the partial
stroke pressure limit with the correct
value, you must be able to run a valve
signature test using ValveLink
software (see figure 4-9). It is then
possible to set the partial stroke
pressure limit with the Field
4
Communicator, using the information
generated by the valve signature test.
Thresholds for detecting a stuck valve are
automatically configured when Setup Wizard or Partial
Stroke Calibration routines are run. However
thresholds can also be configured manually. To
manually configure thresholds, disable the travel
deviation alert by setting Travel Dev Alert Pt to 125%
(1-2-3-4-4-2). Also disable end point pressure control
(1-2-2-2-2-1) and disable the partial stroke pressure
limit (1-2-7-2) by setting the values shown in table 4-9.
Run the partial stroke test using the Field
Communicator. Once the test is completed, download
the partial stroke test results using ValveLink software.
On the partial stroke graph page, select the
Tvl(%)/Time radio button to plot travel set point and
travel time series traces. The Travel Deviation Alert
Point should be set at least 1.5 times the maximum
deviation obtained from the time series plot. Maximum
Travel Movement should be set at least 5% above the
Travel Deviation Alert Point.

4-9, the maximum travel deviation between travel set
point and travel is approximately 4%. Travel Deviation
Alert Point should be set to 1.5 x 4% = 6%. Max
Travel Movement should be set at 6% + 5% = 11%.
In the bottom graph of figure 4-9, with a single-acting
piston actuator, fail closed, Relay A, and supply
pressure at 52 psig (read from instrument gauge),
Partial Stroke Pressure Limit is the minimum actuator
pressure attained during the test, i.e., 24 psig. Set the
Partial Stroke Pressure Limit to 0.5 * Pmin = 12 psig.
The default value is 0.
For double-acting valves, the differential pressure is
used.
View/Edit Auto Test Interval
An interval of time (in days) between partial stroke
tests that are automatically run by the digital valve
controller, subject to the device being powered up. A
value of 0 disables this feature.
Device Power Up
Defines the power up behavior of the DVC6000 SIS.
Auto Reset allows the valve to track the command
signal when power is applied to the device. Manual
Reset will lock the device in its safety position until the
digital valve controller is reset.
If Manual Reset is selected, its state can be
determined from the status monitor by monitoring the
Locked In Safety Position alert.
When Auxiliary Terminal Action is set to SIS Local
Control Panel (LP100), Device Power Up is set to
Manual Reset and cannot be changed to Auto Reset.
The reset signal depends on how the aux terminals
are configured. If configured for SIS Local Control
Panel, the digital valve controller can be reset by
pressing the button next to the green light on the
LCP100. If configured as Push Button Partial Stroke,
the digital valve controller can be reset by shorting the
aux terminals for more than 3 seconds but less than
10 seconds. The device cannot be reset from the aux
terminals if they are configured otherwise.

If the valve is stuck and only the Travel Deviation alert
is enabled (without specifying partial stroke pressure
limit) the Valve Stuck alert will still be generated and
the test will be aborted.
When a DVC6000 SIS 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, recalibration of the analog input or
pressure sensors generally is unnecessary. However,
after mounting on an actuator, perform the initial setup
(either auto or manual), then calibrate travel by
selecting Calibrate, Travel Calibration, and AutoCalibration from the Configure menu. For more
detailed calibration information, refer to the following
calibration procedures, available from the Calibrate
menu:
Travel Calibration
5
Auto Calibration —This procedure automatically
calibrates the travel. The calibration procedure uses
the valve and actuator stops as the 0% and 100%
calibration points.
Manual Calibration —This procedure permits
manual calibration of the travel. This calibration
procedure allows you to determine the 0% and 100%
calibration points and obtain the optimum linearity on a
sliding-stem valve.
Sensor Calibration
Pressure Sensors—This procedure permits
calibrating the three pressure sensors. Normally the
sensors are calibrated at the factory and should not
need calibration.
Travel Sensor—This procedure permits
calibrating the travel sensor. Normally the travel
sensor is calibrated at the factory. Calibrating the
travel sensor should only be necessary if the travel
sensor is replaced.
Analog Input—This procedure permits
calibrating the analog input sensor. Normally the
sensor is calibrated at the factory and should not need
calibration.
Relay Adjust—This procedure permits adjustment of
the pneumatic relay.
Restore Factory Settings—This procedure permits
you to restore the calibration settings back to the
factory settings.
PST Calibration—This procedure permits you to run
the PST calibration procedure.
To display the calibrate menu, from the Online menu,
select Configure and Calibrate.
Note
The Instrument Mode must be Out Of
Service and the Protection set to None
before the instrument can be calibrated.
If you are operating in burst mode, we
recommend that you disable burst before
continuing calibration. Once calibration is
complete, burst mode may then be turned
back on.
Note
In the event of a power failure the
DVC6000 SIS automatically restores
the device to In Service upon
restoration of power. This is to provide
greater availability of the safety
function.
If power is inadvertently interrupted
while performing set up or
maintenance, you may need to return
the DVC6000 SIS to out of service if
the interrupted task requires that mode
of operation.
Note
Analog Input is only available when
the DVC6000 SIS is operating in
Point-to-Point mode with 4-20 mA or
0-20 mA current.
5-2
WARNING
During calibration, the valve may
move. 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.
September 2013
Calibration
Travel Calibration
There are two procedures available for calibrating
travel:
Auto Calibration
Manual Calibration
Auto Calibration (1-3-1-1)
User interaction is only required with Auto Calibration
when the feedback connection is SStem - Standard
(Sliding Stem - Standard). A feedback connection of
Rotary - All, SStem - Roller (Sliding Stem - Roller)
requires no user interaction and you can start with
step 6.
For a SStem - Standard feedback connection,
interaction provides a more accurate crossover
adjustment. Setting crossover establishes the zero
degree point for the geometric correction used to
translate the rotary motion observed by the travel
sensor into the linear motion of the sliding-stem valve.
When a double-acting actuator is used, you will be
prompted to run the Relay Adjustment when Auto
Calibration is selected. Select Yes to adjust the relay.
Select No to proceed with Auto Calibration. For
additional information, refer to Relay Adjustment in this
section.
Select Auto Calibration from the Calibrate menu, then
follow the prompts on the Field Communicator display
to automatically calibrate travel.
1. Select the method of crossover adjustment:
manual, last value, or default. Manual is the
recommended choice. If you select Manual, the Field
Communicator will prompt you to adjust the crossover
in step 3.
ACTUATOR
STEM
90_
FEEDBACK ARM
A6536−3 / IL
Figure 5-1. Crossover Point
No user interaction is required in this step. For a
description of these actions see step 6.
3. If you select Manual in step 1, you are asked to
select an adjustment source, either analog or digital. If
you use a current source to adjust the crossover,
select Analog and go to step 4. If you wish to adjust
the current source digitally, select Digital and go to
step 5.
Note
5
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 6). Use this
selection if you cannot use manual, such as when you
cannot see the valve.
If you select Default, an approximate value for the
crossover is written to the instrument and there are no
further user interactions with the auto-calibration
routine (go to step 6). Use this selection only as a last
resort. Default assumes a midrange position on the
travel sensor as the crossover point, however, this
may not be an appropriate value to use for crossover
because of variations in mounting and travel sensor
calibration.
2. The instrument seeks the high and low drive points
and the minor loop feedback (MLFB) and output bias.
September 2013
The analog option is not available
when the DVC6000 SIS is operated by
0-24 VDC in multi-drop mode.
4. If you selected Analog as the crossover adjustment
source, the Field Communicator prompts you to adjust
the current source until the feedback arm is 90° to the
actuator stem, as shown in figure 5-1. After you have
made the adjustment, press OK and go to step 6.
5. If you selected Digital as the crossover adjustment
source, the Field Communicator displays a menu to
allow you to adjust the crossover.
Select the direction and size of change required to set
the feedback arm so it is 90° to the actuator stem, as
shown in figure 5-1. Selecting large, medium, and
small adjustments to the crossover causes changes of
5-3
DVC6000 SIS
approximately 10.0°, 1.0°, and 0.1°, respectively, to
the rotation of the feedback arm.
If another adjustment is required, repeat step 5.
Otherwise, select Done and go to step 6.
6. The remainder of the auto calibration procedure is
automatic.
During calibration, the instrument seeks the high and
low end points and the minor loop feedback (MLFB)
and output bias. By searching for the end points, the
instrument establishes the limits of physical travel, i.e.,
the actual travel 0 and 100% positions. This also
determines how far the relay beam swings to calibrate
the sensitivity of the beam position sensor.
Adjusting the minor loop feedback bias is done around
mid travel. The valve position is briefly moved back
and forth to determine the relay beam position at
5
quiescence. Essentially, it establishes the zero point
for the Minor Loop Feedback circuit. The back and
forth motion is performed to account for hysteresis.
Adjusting the output bias aligns the travel set point
with the actual travel by computing the drive signal
required to produce 0% error. This is done while the
valve is at 50% travel, making very small adjustments.
Calibration is complete when the “Auto Calibration has
completed” message appears.
7. Place the instrument In Service and verify that the
travel properly tracks the current source.
If the unit does not calibrate, refer to table 5-1 for error
messages and possible remedies.
Manual Calibration (1-3-1-2)
It is recommended that you adjust the relay before
manually calibrating travel. For additional information
refer to Relay Adjustment in this section.
