DVC6200f Digital Valve Controller
Instruction Manual
D103412X012
Introduction and Specifications
May 2022
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 DVC6200f digital valve controller includes the resource and transducer block:
Resource Block—The resource block contains the hardware specific characteristics associated with a device; it has
no input or output parameters. The resource block monitors and controls the general operation of other blocks
within the device. For example, when the mode of the resource block is Out of Service, it impacts all function
blocks.
Transducer Block—The transducer block connects the analog output function block to the I/P converter, relay, and
travel sensor hardware within the digital valve controller.
Function Blocks
In addition to the resource and transducer block, the digital valve controller may contain the following function blocks,
Refer to Appendix E, Function Blocks ,for block specific information. For additional information on function blocks,
refer to Appendix D, F
OUNDATION fieldbus Communication.
Analog Output (AO) Function Block—The analog output function block accepts the output from another function
block (such as a PID block) and transfers it as an actuator control signal to the transducer block. If the DO block is
selected, the AO block is not functional.
Proportional‐Integral‐Derivative (PID) Function Block—The PID function block performs
Control Select (CSEL) Function Block— The control select function block selects from two or three control signals in
a manner determined by the SEL_TYPE when the block is in Auto mode.
Input Selector (ISEL) Function Block—The input selector function block selects from up to four inputs and may
provide the selected signal as input to the PID block. The input selection can be configured to select the first good
input signal; a maximum, minimum or average value; or a hot spare.
Output Splitter (OS) Function Block—The output splitter function block accepts the output from another function
block (such as a PID block) and creates two outputs that are scaled or split, according to the user configuration. This
block is typically used for split ranging of two control valves.
Analog Input (AI) Function Block—The analog input function block monitors the signal from a DVC6200f sensor or
internal measurement and provides it to another block.
Multiple Analog Input (MAI) Function Block—The Multiple Analog Input (MAI) function block has the ability to
process up to eight DVC6200f measurements and make them available to other function blocks.
Discrete Output (DO) Function Block—The discrete output function block processes a discrete set point and sends it
to a specified output channel, which can be transferred to the transducer block for actuator control. In the digital
valve controller, the discrete output block provides both normal open/closed control and the ability to position the
valve in 5% increments for course throttling applications. If the AO block is selected, the DO block is not functional.
Discrete Input (DI) Function Block—The discrete input function block processes a single discrete input from a
DVC6200f 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.

WARNING
Personal injury or property damage caused by fire or explosion may occur if this connection is attempted in a potentially
explosive atmosphere or in an area that has been classified as hazardous. Confirm that area classification and atmosphere
conditions permit the safe removal of the terminal box cap before proceeding.
Install a jumper across the SIMULATE ENABLE terminals to enable the instrument to accept a simulate command.
(These terminals are marked AUX on the terminal board, see figure 2‐2). With the jumper in place and the simulate
parameter in the AO or DO block set to enabled, the transducer block ignores the output of the AO or DO block. The
simulate value and status become the readback value and status to the AO or DO block and the transducer block is
ignored. For more information on running simulations, see the Detailed Setup section of this manual, the
Fieldbus specifications, and the host documentation.
WARNING
Removing the jumper will disable the simulate, which may cause the valve to move. To avoid personal injury and property
damage caused by the release of pressure or process fluid, provide some temporary means of control for the process.

DVC6200f Digital Valve Controller
Installation Information
Changes to the instrument setup may cause changes in the output pressure or valve travel. Depending on the application,
these changes may upset process control, which may result in personal injury or property damage.
When the DVC6200f digital valve controller is ordered as part of a control valve assembly, the factory mounts the
digital valve controller and sets up the instrument as specified on the order. When mounting to a valve in the field, the
instrument needs to be setup to match the instrument to the valve and actuator.
Before beginning basic setup, be sure the instrument is correctly mounted as described in the Installation section.
Basic Setup includes the following procedures:
Device Setup
Performance Tuner (Optional)
Note
The DVC6200f may keep the Transducer Block Mode Out‐of‐Service if the instrument is not properly mounted.
To setup and calibrate the instrument, the Transducer Block Mode must be Manual, and the Protection must be None.
When using DD methods the method will request that you change the mode, but make changes in Protection automatically. If you

DVC6200f Digital Valve Controller
Basic Setup
May 2022
Instruction Manual
D103412X012
Typically Device Setup determines the required setup information based upon the actuator manufacturer and model
specified. However, if you enter OTHER for the actuator manufacturer or the actuator model, then you will be
prompted for setup parameters such as:
Actuator Style—Select spring & diaphragm, piston double‐acting without spring, piston single‐acting with spring,
piston double‐acting with spring.
Valve Style—Select the valve style, rotary or sliding‐stem.
Zero Power Condition—this identifies whether the valve is fully open or fully closed when the input is 0%. If you are
unsure how to set this parameter, disconnect the instrument from the segment. (With double‐acting and
single‐acting direct digital valve controllers, disconnecting the instrument from the segment is the same as setting
the output A pressure to zero. For single‐acting reverse digital valve controllers, disconnecting the instrument from
the segment is the same as setting the output B pressure to supply.)
WARNING
If you answer YES to the prompt for permission to move the valve when setting the Travel Sensor Motion, the instrument
will move the valve through its full travel range. To avoid personal injury and property damage caused by the release of
pressure or process fluid, isolate the valve from the process and equalize pressure on both sides of the valve or bleed off the
process fluid.
Travel Sensor Motion—Device Setup asks if it can move the valve to determine travel sensor motion. If you answer
Yes, the instrument will stroke the valve the full travel span to determine travel sensor motion. If you answer No,
then you must specify the direction of travel movement. 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.
For instruments with relay A or C If increasing air pressure at output A causes the magnet assembly to move up, or
the actuator shaft to rotate counterclockwise, enter “Towards Top of Instrument/CCW.” If it causes the magnet
assembly to move down, or the actuator shaft to rotate clockwise, enter “Away From Top of Instrument/CW.” For
instruments with relay B.
For instruments with relay B If decreasing air pressure at output B causes the magnet assembly to move up, or the
actuator shaft to rotate counterclockwise, enter “Towards Top of Instrument/CCW.” If it causes the magnet
assembly to move down, or the actuator shaft to rotate clockwise, enter “Away From Top of Instrument/CW.”
Note
Relay A adjustment may be required before Device Setup can determine travel sensor motion. Follow the prompts on the Device
Communicator display if relay adjustment is necessary.
Table 3‐2 lists the required Travel Sensor Motion selections for Fisher and Baumann actuators.

WARNING
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.
In addition, you can select Expert, which allows you to individually set the proportional gain, velocity gain, and minor
loop feedback gain for travel tuning and pressure proportional gain, pressure integrator gain, and pressure minor loop
feedback gain for pressure tuning. Refer to page 48 for additional information on travel tuning and page 50 for
pressure tuning.
Note
Use Expert tuning only if standard tuning has not achieved the desired results.
Stabilize/Optimize or Performance Tuner may be used to achieve the desired results more rapidly than expert tuning.
Table 3‐2 provides tuning set selection guidelines for Fisher and Baumann actuators. These tuning sets are only
recommended starting points. After you finish setting up and calibrating the instrument, use Stabilize/Optimize to
adjust the tuning set to get the desired response.

Instruction Manual
D103412X012
When Device Setup is complete you are asked if you wish to run Auto Calibration now. Select yes to automatically
calibrate instrument travel at this time. Follow the prompts on the Device Communicator display. The calibration
procedure uses the valve and actuator stops as the 0% and 100% calibration points. For additional information, refer to
Auto Calibration in the Calibration section.
Note
Single‐acting relay B and C are not user‐adjustable. However, it is recommended that you check the relay adjustment for
double‐acting relay A in new installations before proceeding with travel calibration.
Refer to page 121 for relay adjustment instructions.
If after completing setup and calibration the valve cycles or overshoots (unstable), or is unresponsive (sluggish), you
can improve operation by running Performance Tuner or Stabilize/Optimize.
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.
The 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. Typically, the Performance Tuner takes 3 to 5 minutes to tune an instrument,
although tuning instruments mounted on larger actuators may take longer.

Section 4 Detailed Setup4-4-
Resource Block
The resource block contains the hardware specific characteristics associated with a device; it has no input or output
parameters. The resource block monitors and controls the general operation of other blocks within the device. Most of
the resource block parameters are operational parameters that provide information about the instrument such as
identification, hardware information, available options, etc. and are read only. Configuration of the resource block
involves selecting features from those that are available, setting the mode, setting write lock, and setting up alert
reporting details.
The following procedures address only the key resource block parameters; however, all resource block parameters are
listed in table 4‐2.
Configure/Setup
Device CommunicatorRB > Configure/Setup
Resource Block Mode
Modes
The resource block can be in one of two modes (MODE_BLK [5]):
Automatic (Auto) is the operational mode for this block. When the resource block is in the Auto mode, all other
function blocks are allowed to function normally.
Out of Service (OOS)—Placing the resource block in Out of Service mode stops all function block execution, by
setting their modes to Out of Service as well. The actual mode of the function blocks is changed to Out of Service, but
the function block target modes are retained. Placing the resource block in the Out of Service mode does not affect
the mode of the transducer block.
Write Lock
Write Lock (WRITE_LOCK [34]) determines if writes are permissible to other device parameters. The write lock feature
must be selected to be able to use Write Lock (see Features Available). When Write Lock is set to Locked, no writes are
permitted to any parameters within the device except to set Write Lock to Not Locked. When locked, the device
functions normally, updating inputs and outputs and executing algorithms. When Write Lock is set to Not Locked, the
Write Alarm (WRITE_ALM [40]) alert is active.
Write Priority (WRITE_PRI [39]) sets the priority for Write Alarm. The lowest priority is 0. The highest is 15.

Note
Typically this parameter does not need to be changed. The unit will be operational using the default values assigned by the factory.
Perform this procedure only if a remote computer is sending setpoints from your “advanced” control.
Default value for RCas Timeout is 20 seconds.
Shed Remote Cascade (SHED_RCAS [26]) determines how long function blocks in the DVC6200f should wait before
giving up on remote computer writes to RCas parameters. When the timeout is exceeded, the block sheds to the next
mode as defined by the block shed options. If Shed Remote Cascade is set to 0, the block will not shed from RCas.
Enter a positive value in the Shed Remote Cascade field. Time duration is in 1/32 milliseconds (640000
Shed Remote Out
= 20 secs).
Note
Typically this parameter does not need to be changed. The unit will be operational using the default values assigned by the factory.
Perform this procedure only if a remote computer is sending setpoints from your “advanced” control.
Default value for Shed Remote Out is 20 seconds.
Shed Remote Out (SHED_ROUT [27]) determine how long function blocks in the DVC6200f should wait before giving
up on computer writes to ROut parameters. When the timeout is exceeded, the block sheds to the next mode as
defined by the block shed options. If Shed Remote Out is set to 0, the block will not shed from ROut. Enter a positive
value in the Shed Remote Out field. Time duration is in 1/32 milliseconds (640000
= 20 secs).
Options
Diagnostic Tier (DIAG_OPTIONS [103]) show which diagnostic options are available in the instrument.
Function Block Options (FB_OPTIONS [102]) show which function blocks are available in the instrument.
Miscellaneous Options (MISC_OPTIONS [104]) indicate which miscellaneous licensing options are enabled.
Features Available (FEATURES [17]) indicates which feature options are available in the resource block.

parameter descriptions for Set Fault State (SET_FSTATE [29]) and Clear Fault State (CLR_FSTATE [30]) in table 4‐2
and “Action on Fault Detection”.
Write Lock permits using Write Lock (WRITE_LOCK [34]) to prevent any external change to parameter values. Block
connections and calculation results will proceed normally, but the configuration is locked. Also see Write Lock, on
page 23.

Alarm Handling
Alert Key (ALERT_KEY [4]) is a number that permits grouping alerts. This number may be used to indicate to the
operator the source of the alert, such as the instrument, plant unit, etc. Enter a value between 1 and 255.
Confirm Time (CONFIRM_TIME [33]) determines the time, in 1/32 of a millisecond, the instrument waits for
confirmation of receipt of a report before trying again. If Confirm Time is 0, the instrument does not retry to send the
report. Enter 0 or a value between 320000 (10 secs) and 640000 (20 secs).
Limit Notify (LIM_NOTIFY [32]) is the number of alert reports that the device can send without getting a confirmation
up to the maximum permitted in Maximum Notify (MAX_NOTIFY [31]). If Limit Notify is set to zero, no alerts are
reported. Enter a value between 0 and 4.
To have the instrument report alerts without having the host poll the alerts parameters, select the Reports feature (see
Feature Select).
Maximum Notify (MAX_NOTIFY [31]) indicates the maximum number of alert reports that the device can send without
getting a confirmation. This limit is determined by the amount of memory available for alert messages. The number
can be set lower, to control alert flooding, by adjusting Maximum Alerts Allowed (LIM_NOTIFY [32]).
Block Alarm Disabled The Block Alarm (BLOCK_ALM [36]) is used for all configuration, hardware, connection failure or
system problems in the block. Alarm Summary (ALARM_SUM [37]) determines if the Write Alarm (WRITE_ALM [40])
and Block Alarm [BLOCK_ALM [36]) are disabled.

for this resource.
Data Type: Unsigned32
Time duration of the shortest cycle interval (in
1/32 millisecond) of which the resource is
capable. In the digital valve controller this value
is fixed at 1760 (55 milliseconds).
Date Type: Unsigned16
Memory, in kilobytes, available for additional
function blocks. Because no additional function
blocks may be added to DVC6200f instruments,
this parameter value is fixed at 32.
Date Type: Unsigned32
This parameter identifies the minimum time
interval (in 1/32 milliseconds) between copies of
NV class data to NV memory. NV memory is
updated only if there has been a change in the
dynamic value. The last value saved in NV
memory will be available for the restart
procedure or a power cycle. A non‐zero value
regulates the frequency of writes, thus
protecting the life span of the device. If the value
is zero, data will never be automatically copied.
Changes made by other than publishing to NV
parameters will be copied to non‐volatile
memory immediately. For DVC6200f
instruments, this parameter value is fixed at
576,000 (18 seconds).
Data Type: Float
Percent of memory available for additional
function blocks (see also MEMORY_SIZE).
Data Type: Float
Percent of block processing time that is free to
process additional blocks.

Date Type: Unsigned32
Time duration (in 1/32 millisecond) at which to
give up on computer writes to function block
RCAS parameters. If this time is exceeded then
the function block will change to a mode other
than RCAS based on the SHED_OPT parameter
setting. Shed from RCAS mode never happens
when SHED_RCAS is set to zero.
Data Type: Unsigned32
Time duration (in 1/32 millisecond) at which to
give up on computer writes to function block
ROUT parameters. If this time is exceeded then
the function block will change to a mode other
than ROUT based on the SHED_OPT parameter
setting. Shed from ROUT mode never happens
when SHED_ROUT is set to zero.
Data Type: Unsigned8
Forces output function blocks that are not Out
of Service to the fault state condition. While this
parameter is active the output function blocks
will go to an actual mode of Local Override (LO)
and will perform their fault state actions (see
Action On Fault Detection for the output blocks
on pages 214 and 306 of this section). This
parameter is used to test the fault state behavior
that normally occurs when there is a
communication problem between devices. This
parameter is changed by the SET_FSTATE and
CLR_FSTATE parameters so long as the feature
Fault State is selected (see Feature Selection
[index number 18] in this table).
Data Type: Unsigned8
Selecting Set changes the parameter
FAULT_STATE to Active. This is essentially a
“write only” parameter as it will always read OFF
because it is defined as momentary. Writing a
value of OFF has no affect. To use this parameter
the feature Fault State must be selected (see
Features Selected on page 25).
Data Type: Unsigned8
Selecting Clear changes the parameter
FAULT_STATE to Clear and clears the output
function blocks of the FAULT_STATE if the field
condition, if any, has cleared. This is essentially a
“write only” parameter as it will always read OFF
because it is defined as momentary. Writing a
value of OFF has no affect. To use this parameter
the feature Fault State must be selected (see
Features Selected on page 25.
Data Type: Unsigned8
The maximum number of alert reports that this
device can send without getting a confirmation.
To control alert flooding, the number can be set
lower by adjusting the LIM_NOTIFY parameter
value.
Data Type: Unsigned8
The number of alert reports that this device can
send without getting a confirmation up to the
maximum permitted in the parameter
MAX_NOTIFY. If set to zero, then no alerts are
reported.
Data Type: Unsigned32
The time (in 1/32 millisecond) the device waits
for confirmation of receipt of an alert report
before trying again.
Data Type: Unsigned8
If set to Locked, no writes from anywhere are
allowed except to clear WRITE_LOCK by entering
Unlocked. Block inputs will continue to be
updated if they are subscribers. The feature Soft
Write Lock must be selected to enable writing to
this parameter (see Device Features in this
section).
Data Type: DS‐73
This alert is generated by any change to the
static data. To support tracking changes in static
parameter values, the blocks static revision
parameter will be incremented each time a
static parameter value is changed. Also, the
blocks static revision parameter may be
incremented if a static parameter is written but
the value is not changed. If the Actual Mode is
not Out of Service and Reports is selected in the
Feature Select parameter, then this parameter
will be sent to the host system providing the
host has set up alert communications. Changes
to static data while the block is Out of Service
will be reported when the block transitions to
another mode.
Data Type: DS‐72
This alarm is generated by a nonzero value in the
Block Error. parameter. This alarm has a fixed

Detailed Setup - Transducer Block
May 2022
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.
The following procedures address only the key transducer block parameters; however, all transducer block parameters
are listed in table 4‐11.
Detailed Setup
Note
To setup and calibrate the instrument, the transducer block Mode must be Manual and the Protection must be None.
The transducer block can be in one of four modes (MODE_BLK [5]):
Automatic (Auto)— This is the normal mode for this block. When the transducer block is in the auto mode, it accepts
the output from the AO or DO block as a set point and outputs a drive signal to the I/P converter based upon this set
point.
Out of Service (OOS)— Placing the transducer block in Out of Service mode changes the output to the zero power (no
I/P drive) condition.
Manual (MAN)— Placing the transducer block in Manual will hold the value at the current setpoint (FINAL_VALUE [13]).
The transducer block will not accept changes from the AO or DO blocks. This mode is required to change some
parameters and to run some diagnostics.
Local Override (LO)— The instrument will take the transducer block to a local override mode when a latch is active.
To configure any parameters in the digital valve controller Write Lock (WRITE_LOCK [34]), in the resource block, must
be set to Unlocked (refer to page 23). In addition, protection is provided for various transducer block parameters, as
indicated in the Protect Category column of table 4‐11, to prevent inadvertently overwriting key data by the host
system or user.
None will not protect any transducer block parameters.

Travel Tuning
WARNING
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.
Travel Tuning Set (TVL_TUNING_SET [67.10])
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 4‐4 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
feedback gain. Individually setting or changing any tuning parameter or running the Performance Tuner or
Stabilize/Optimize will automatically change the tuning set to X (expert).

Use Expert tuning if standard tuning has not achieved the desired results.
Stabilize/Optimize may be used to achieve the desired results more rapidly than manually editing the Expert tuning.
Detailed Setup - Transducer Block
May 2022
Table 3‐2 provides tuning set selection guidelines for Fisher and Baumann actuators. These tuning sets are
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.
For an actuator not listed in table 3‐2, you can estimate a starting tuning set by calculating the casing or cylinder
volume. Then, find an actuator in table 3‐2 with the closest equivalent volume and use the tuning set suggested for
that actuator.
Travel Proportional Gain (TVL_PROP_GAIN [72.6]) is the proportional gain for the travel control tuning set. Changing
this parameter will also change the tuning set to Expert.
Travel Velocity Gain (TVL_RATE [72.7]) is the velocity gain for the travel control tuning set. Changing this parameter
will also change the tuning set to Expert.
Travel MLFB Gain (TVL_MLFB_GAIN [72.5]) is the minor loop feedback gain for the travel control tuning set. Changing
this parameter will also change the tuning set to Expert.
Travel Integral Enable (TVL_INTEG_ENABLE [72.1]) is used to enable the integral setting to improve static performance
by correcting for error that exists between the travel target and actual travel.
Travel Integral Gain (TVL_RESET [72.8]) (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.
Travel Integral Dead Zone (TVL_INTEG_DEADZ [72.4]) is a window around the Primary Setpoint in which the 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. 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%.
Travel Integral Limit Hi (TVL_INTEG_LIM_HI [72.2]) provides an upper limit to the integrator output. The high limit is
configurable from 0 to 100% of the I/P drive signal.
Travel Integral Limit Lo (TVL_INTEG_LIM_LO [72.3]) provides a lower limit to the integrator output. The low limit is
configurable from -100 to 0% of the I/P drive signal.
Performance Tuner
WARNING
During performance tuning the valve will move,which may cause 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.

Stabilize/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.
If after completing initial setup and calibration the valve cycles or overshoots, or is sluggish, you can improve
operation by running Stabilize/Optimize.
Stabilize/Optimize is included with the device description (DD) firmware. Stabilize/Optimize is accessible from the
transducer block and permits changing the transducer block set point a small amount to see if the valve is unstable or
unresponsive. If valve response is unsatisfactory, the method permits adjusting the digital valve controller tuning to
improve response.
If the valve is unstable, select Decrease Response to stabilize valve operation. This selects the next lower tuning set
(e.g., F to E). If the valve response is sluggish, select Increase Response to make the valve more responsive. This selects
the next higher tuning set (e.g., F to G).
If after selecting Decrease Response or Increase Response the valve travel overshoot is excessive, Increase Damping or
Decrease Damping can be used to select a damping value not represented in a predefined tuning set. Select Decrease
Damping to select a damping value that allows more overshoot. Select Increase Damping to select a damping value that
will decrease the overshoot.
When valve operation is satisfactory, select Exit. Before exiting, you are asked if you want to return the transducer
block mode to Auto. Select Yes to change the transducer block mode to Auto. Select No to leave the transducer block
in its current mode.
Pressure Tuning
WARNING
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.
Pressure Tuning Set (PRESS_TUNING_SET [67.11])
There are twelve pressure 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. Tuning set B is appropriate for
controlling a pneumatic positioner. Table 4‐5 lists the proportional gain, pressure integrator gain and minor loop
feedback gain values for preselected tuning sets.
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).

Pressure Proportional Gain (PRESS_PROP_GAIN [74.3]) is the proportional gain for the pressure control tuning set.
Changing this parameter will also change the tuning set to Expert.
Pressure MLFB Gain (PRESS_MLFB_GAIN [74.11]) is the minor loop feedback gain for the pressure control tuning set.
Changing this parameter will also change the tuning set to Expert.
Pressure Integral Gain (PRESS_INTEG_GAIN [74.4]) (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.
Pressure Integral Dead Zone (PRESS_INTEG_DEADZ [74.6]) is a window around the Primary Setpoint in which the
integral action is disabled. The dead band is configurable from 0 to 2%.
Pressure Integral Limit Hi (PRESS_INTEG_HI_LIM [74.7]) provides an upper limit to the integrator output. The high
limit is configurable from 0 to 100% of the I/P drive signal.
Pressure Integral Limit Lo (PRESS_INTEG_LO_LIM [74.8]) provides a lower limit to the integrator output. The low limit
is configurable from -100 to 0% of the I/P drive signal.
Travel/Pressure Control
Travel/Pressure State (TVL_PRESS.STATE [65.2]) indicates if the instrument is being used for travel control (position
control) or as an I/P (pressure control)
Travel/Pressure Select (TVL_PRESS_SELECT [65.1])
Note
When using Pressure Fallback Manual Recovery or Pressure Fallback Auto Recovery, the valve travel has the potential of moving
rapidly causing potential process instability when returning to Travel Control.

Note
Travel / Pressure Select must be set to Travel for double acting actuators.
Instruction Manual
D103412X012
Travel / Pressure Select determines if the instrument is setup for position or pressure control. Select Travel, Pressure,
Travel with Pressure Fallback/Auto recovery or Travel with Pressure Fallback/Manual Recovery. If the travel sensor fails,
and Travel with Pressure Fallback/Auto Recovery is selected, it will return to travel control when the travel sensor starts
working again. Travel with Pressure Fallback/Manual recovery will stay in pressure control until Travel Pressure Select is
changed to Travel or Travel with Pressure Fallback/Auto recovery. It is not necessary to enable the Travel Sensor Alert
for Pressure Fallback to occur.
Travel Deviation Pressure Fallback occurs when the instrument detects that the travel sensor is outside of its normal
range of operation or that a gross deviation exists between set point and actual travel. It switches to Pressure Control
and no longer uses the travel sensor to position the valve.
Pressure Range Hi (PRESS_RANGE_HI [67.7]) is 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

Characterization
Characterization (INPUT_CHAR [76]) defines the relationship between the travel target and the setpoint received from
the output block. Travel target is the output from the characterization function.
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 travel set point for the fixed input characteristics.
Custom Characterization Table
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

Alerts
The DVC6200f provides two levels of alerts; Instrument alerts and Field Diagnostic alerts or PlantWeb alerts. PlantWeb
alerts will be presented to hosts that do not support Field Diagnostic alerts.
Instrument Alert Conditions
Instrument Alert Conditions, when enabled, detect many operational and performance issues that may be of interest.
To view these alerts, open the appropriate status screen on a host such as DeltaV or ValveLink software.
Field Diagnostic Alerts
Some instrument alert conditions can also be used to trigger Field Diagnostic alerts. Field Diagnostic alerts will be
reported in Failed, Function Check, Out of Specification, or Maintenance Required categories, as configured by the
user. When a Field Diagnostic alert occurs, the DVC6200f sends an event notification and waits a specified period of
time for an acknowledgment to be received. This occurs even if the condition that caused the alert no longer exists. If
the acknowledgment is not received within the pre‐specified time‐out period, the event notification is retransmitted.
This reduces the possibility of alert messages being lost.
Field Diagnostic alerts will be mapped to PlantWeb alerts (PWA) as shown below for older DeltaV systems that do not
support Field Diagnostics.

Field Diagnostic (FD) Alert Category
Select either Enable or Suppress in the desired category for each of the alerts in Electronic, Configuration, Sensor,
Environment, Travel, Proximity, Travel History, Test Overdue, Performance, and Valve Stroke:
Fail Enable (FD_FAIL_MAP_2 [86]) enables or disables conditions that can cause a failed alert. A failed alert indicates a
failure within the device that will make the device or some part of the device non‐operational. Table C‐2 lists the
available Field Diagnostic alerts.
Fail Suppress (FD_FAIL_MASK_2 [90]) determines which of the failed alert conditions are suppressed so that they are
not reported. Even if reporting is suppressed, the bit in Fail Active (FD_FAIL_ACTIVE [RB 53]) is still set in the Resource
Block.
Check Function Enable (FD_CHECK_MAP_2 [89]) enables or disables conditions that can cause a check function alert.
A check function alert indicates that the output signal is temporarily invalid (e.g. frozen) due to ongoing work on the
device.
Check Function Suppress (FD_CHECK_MASK_2 [93]) determines which of the check function alert conditions are
suppressed. Even if the reporting is suppressed, the bit in Check Function Active (FD_CHECK_ACTIVE [RB 56]) is still set
in the Resource Block.
Off Specification Enable (FD_OFFSPEC_MAP_2 [87]) enables or disables conditions that can cause an off specification
alert. An off specification alert indicates that the device is operating outside its specified range or internal diagnostics
indicate deviations from set values. Table C‐2 lists the available Field Diagnostic alerts.
Off Specification Suppress (FD_OFFSPEC_MASK_2 [91]) determines which of the off specification alert conditions are
suppressed so that they are not reported. Even if reporting is suppressed, the bit in Off Specification Active
(FD_OFFSPEC_ACTIVE [RB 54]) is still set in the Resource Block.
Maintenance Enable (FD_MAINT_MAP_2 [88]) enables or disables conditions that can cause a maintenance alert. A
maintenance alert indicates the device or some part of the device needs maintenance soon. Table C‐2 lists the
available Field Diagnostic alerts.
Maintenance Suppress (FD_MAINT_MASK_2 [92]) determines which of the maintenance alert conditions are
suppressed so that they are not reported. Even if reporting is suppressed, the bit in Maintenance Active
(FD_MAINT_ACTIVE [RB 55]) is still set in the Resource Block.
The following alerts can be enabled/disabled per plant requirements. Select enable within the specific alert menu to
enable any of the following alerts, or disable to turn off any enabled alert.

Feedback Connection—Refer to table 4‐9 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 DVC6200f housing) has to remain within this range throughout the entire valve travel. The linear magnet
assemblies are symmetrical. Either end may be up.
Setting the Travel Sensor Motion incorrectly may cause the valve to move. 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.
Travel Sensor Motion establishes the proper valve travel sensor (feedback) rotation/movement. 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.
For instruments with relay A or C If increasing air pressure at output A causes the magnet assembly to move up, or the
actuator shaft to rotate counterclockwise, enter “Towards Top of Instrument/CCW.” If it causes the magnet assembly
to move down, or the actuator shaft to rotate clockwise, enter “Away From Top of Instrument/CW.” For instruments
with relay B.

Allows the user to specify which transducer block parameter is available through each of the MAI Block channels
(MAI_CHANNEL_1 through MAI_CHANNEL_8 [111.1 through 111.8]). Transducer block parameters available to each
channel:
A valve stroke test is the process of taking the valve from the normal end to another target position at a preconfigured
ramp rate before returning to the normal end while gathering data. The data is analyzed to evaluate the condition of
the valve assembly against a set of user defined thresholds. A valve stroke test is only run if everything is normal in the
instrument. A safety demand signal will always take precedence over a valve stroke test.
Valve Stroke Test, select Partial Stroke Test, Full Stroke Test, or Disable to select the test to run when the test is
initiated using the VST_COMMAND parameter.
Partial StrokeStart Point defines the normal end of the valve. The valve needs to be at this end for a PST to be
initiated. When a FST is initiated the valve will be moved by the test to this end before being ramped to the opposite
end and ramped back. Setting this value to Not Configured will disable partial stroke tests.
Travel Open End defines, in percent (%) of calibrated travel, the point above which the valve is considered to have
reached the high end.
Travel Closed End defines, in percent (%) of calibrated travel, the point below which the valve is considered to have
reached the low end.

Test Pause Time (VST_PAUSE [120]) is the time between the outgoing and incoming strokes of the test. The default
value is 5 seconds. The outgoing stroke is from the normal end to the PST target and the incoming stroke is the
return stroke to normal. See figure 4‐6.
High Friction Breakout Pressure (HI_FRIC_BRKOUT_PRESS [129.3]) indicates that the breakout required a higher
force than configured by the user. Refer to figure 4‐6.
Low Friction Breakout Pressure (LO_FRIC_BRKOUT_PRESS [129.4]) indicates that the breakout required a lower
force than configured by the user. Refer to figure 4‐6.
Action On a Failed Test defines if the valve should step or ramp back on a failed stroke test.
A partial stroke test is marked as abnormal if it fails one of the following criteria.
The device always evaluates a PST on the following criteria:
1. Target Travel achieved
2. Return to the normal end.
In addition to the above, any of the following can be selected to evaluate a Partial Stroke Test.
1. Breakout Time
2. Outgoing Pressure Threshold

VST Abort Criteria (VST_ABORT_CRITERIA [129.2])
The PST is terminated and the valve is returned to the normal end. The return to the normal end will be per the user
configuration for an aborted test. The abort criteria will only be active if it is added as a criteria to be evaluated during
PST by adding it to the PST Abnormal Criteria.
The device always aborts a PST if the Max Travel displacement is exceeded.
In addition to the above, any of the following can be selected to abort a Partial Stroke Test:
1. Breakout Time
2. Incoming Pressure Threshold
3. High Friction Breakout Pressure
Partial & Full Stroke
Partial Stroke
PST Max Travel (PST_MAX_TRAVEL [145])defines how much travel displacement is allowed before the PST aborts (see
figure 4‐7).
PST Minimum Travel is the percentage of total span that the valve moves away from its normal operating end of travel
towards its tripped end of travel during the test. The default value is 10%.
Set Point Overdrive (PST_OVERDRIVE_AMT [144]) defines the extent of the set point overdrive over the Minimum
Travel Movement when the early turn around is enabled. When the early turn around is not enabled it defines the
travel target.
Freeze Analog / Discrete Feedback (PST_OPTIONS [139]) when enabled, freezes the corresponding feedback during a
partial stroke test.
Short Duration PST, when enabled, the incoming stroke is initiated as soon as the travel reaches the minimum travel
movement. Refer to figure 4‐7 for a time series representation of this parameter.
Randomized PST, when enabled the instrument randomizes the target travel, for each PST.
PST Randomization is defined in percent (%) of calibrated travel span, it defines the extent of randomization from the
minimum travel movement towards the normal end. If the user defined randomization is too large the instrument will
cap the max randomization to ensure that there will be at least 1% travel movement away from the defined normal
end. Refer to figure 4‐6.
Outgoing Ramp Rate is the rate at which the valve will move during the Outgoing stroke of the Partial Stroke test. The
default value is 0.25%/second.
Incoming Ramp Rate is the rate at which the valve will move during the Incoming stroke of the Partial Stroke test. The
default value is 0.25%/second.
PST Return Lead (PST_RETURN_LEAD [149]) defines the percent (%) change in setpoint to overcome the hysteresis in
the valve assembly. The error between setpoint and actual error is added to this percent change. For example, if the
Return Lead is set at 0.5% and there is a 1% error this will be set at 1.5%
PST Breakout Timeout is the user configured amount of time before which the valve must leave the normal end during
a PST.

VST Outgoing Pressure Threshold defines the actuator pressure at which a partial stroke test will abort during the
outgoing stroke (see figure 4‐6). This prevents the DVC6200f from exhausting (or building) excessive pressure from/to
the actuator in an attempt to move a stuck valve. During PST Calibration, the Partial Stroke Outgoing Pressure
Threshold will be set automatically as follows:
Single Acting Actuators - For those actuators that exhaust pressure from the partial test start point, the Outgoing
Pressure Threshold will be a minimum value. For those actuators that build pressure from the partial test start point,
the Outgoing Pressure Threshold will be a maximum value.
Double Acting Actuators - The Outgoing Pressure Threshold 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.
The pressure signal used to determine this parameter depends on relay type and is summarized below.

1. Connect the DVC6200f to a system running ValveLink software.
2. Disable Partial Stroke Outgoing Pressure Limit by ensuring it is not selected as an evaluation criteria for PST
Abnormal.
3. Run a partial stroke test.
4. Select the Press/Time radio button on the partial stroke graph (refer to the example in figure 4‐8). If the actuator
pressure starts high and moves low, find the minimum actuator pressure (Pmin). If the actuator pressure starts low
and moves high, find the maximum actuator pressure (Pmax). Doubleacting actuators will display differential
pressure. Use table 4‐10 to estimate the Outgoing Pressure Threshold.
