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.
Parts Ordering
Whenever ordering parts for older products, always specify the serial number of the product and provide all other
pertinent information that you can, such as product size, part material, age of the product, and general service
conditions. If you have modified the product since it was originally purchased, include that information with your
request.
WARNING
Use only genuine Fisher replacement parts. Components that are not supplied by Emerson Automation Solutions should
not, under any circumstances, be used in any Fisher product. Use of components not supplied by Emerson Automation
Solutions may void your warranty, might adversely affect the performance of the product and could result in personal
injury and property damage.

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
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.
Instruction Manual
D103189X012
Special Instructions for Safe Use and Installations in Hazardous Locations

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.

DVC6000f Digital Valve Controllers
Scope of Manual
This instruction manual includes specifications,
installation, operating, and maintenance information
for FIELDVUE DVC6000f digital valve controllers.
This manual describes device setup using the 475 or
1
375 Field Communicator. For information on using
Fisher ValveLink software with the instrument, refer to
the appropriate user guide or help.
Do not install, operate, or maintain a DVC6000f digital
valve controller without being fully trained and qualified
in valve, actuator, and accessory installation,
operation, and maintenance. To avoid personal
injury or property damage, it is important to
carefully read, understand, and follow all of the
contents of this manual, including all safety
cautions and warnings. If you have any questions
about these instructions, contact your Emerson
Process Management sales office before proceeding.
Instrument Description
DVC6000f digital valve controllers for FOUNDATION
fieldbus are interoperable, communicating,
microprocessor-based, digital-to-pneumatic
instruments. In addition to the primary function of
converting a digital input signal to a pneumatic output,
the DVC6000f, using FOUNDATION fieldbus
communications protocol, gives easy access to
information critical to process operation as well as
process control. This can be done using a DeltaV
console, another FOUNDATION fieldbus system console,
or with ValveLink software.
W9132-1
Figure 1-1. FIELDVUE DVC6010f Digital Valve
Controller Mounted on Fisher 585C Piston Actuator
Standard Control (SC)— Digital valve
controllers with Standard Control have the AO, PID,
ISEL, OS, AI, MAI, DO, and four DI function blocks in
addition to the resource and transducer blocks.
Fieldbus Control (FC)—Digital valve controllers
with Fieldbus Control have the AO function block in
addition to the resource and transducer blocks.
Fieldbus Logic (FL)—Digital valve controllers
with Fieldbus Logic have the DO, and four DI function
blocks, in addition to the resource and transducer
block.
DVC6000f digital valve controllers can be mounted on
single or double-acting sliding-stem actuators, as
shown in figure 1-1, or on rotary actuators, as shown
in figure 1-2. The DVC6000f mounts on most Fisher
and other manufacturers’ rotary and sliding-stem
actuators.
DVC6000f digital valve controllers are available with
several selections of control and diagnostic capability.
Control selections include:
1-2
The diagnostic capabilities include:
Performance Diagnostics (PD)
Advanced Diagnostics (AD)
Fieldbus Diagnostics (FD)
Performance and Advanced Diagnostics are available
with ValveLink software. They provide visibility to
instrument alerts. Fieldbus Diagnostics can be viewed
with any host system.

Introduction and Specifications
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.

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.
All DVC6000f digital valve controllers include 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.
Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID)
Function Block—The PID function block performs
proportional-plus-integral-plus-derivative control.
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
DVC6000f 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 DVC6000f
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.

Function Blocks
In addition to the resource and transducer block, the
digital valve controller may contain the following
function blocks. For additional information on function
blocks, refer to Appendix D, FOUNDATION fieldbus
Communication.
September 2013
Discrete Input (DI) Function Block—The
discrete input function block processes a single
discrete input from a DVC6000f 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.

referred to by their common name or label, followed by
the parameter name and index number; for example,
Write Priority (WRITE_PRI [39]). However, not all
interface systems support the use of the parameter
label and instead use only the Parameter Name,
followed by the index number, when referring to the
block parameters.

Installation
The DVC6000f 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 DVC6000f 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 to prevent
personal injury and property damage.
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
plastic 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.

Mounting Guidelines
DVC6010f 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 DVC6010f 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 DVC6020f digital valve controller.
Note
Do not use the stainless steel
DVC6010fS 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 8-2.
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 actuator,
releasing all pressure from the actuator. Use lock-out
procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in
effect while you work on the equipment.
2. Attach the connector arm to the valve stem
connector.
3. Attach the mounting bracket to the digital valve
controller housing.

stem retracts into the actuator casing or cylinder as air
pressure to the casing or lower cylinder increases),
insert the alignment pin into the hole marked ‘‘A’’. For
this style actuator, the feedback arm rotates
counterclockwise, from A to B, as air pressure to the
casing or lower cylinder increases.
For air-to-close actuators (i.e., the actuator
stem extends from the actuator casing or cylinder as
air pressure to the casing or upper cylinder increases),
insert the alignment pin into the hole marked ‘‘B’’. For
this style actuator, the feedback arm rotates

(zero pressure from Port A with Relay A) by inserting
the alignment pin (key 46) through the hole on the
feedback arm as follows:
For air-to-open actuators (i.e., the actuator
stem retracts into the actuator casing or cylinder as air
pressure to the casing or lower cylinder increases),
insert the alignment pin into the hole marked ‘‘A’’. For
this style actuator, the feedback arm rotates
counterclockwise, from A to B, as air pressure to the
casing or lower cylinder increases.
For air-to-close actuators (i.e., the actuator
stem extends from the actuator casing or cylinder as
air pressure to the casing or upper cylinder increases),
insert the alignment pin into the hole marked ‘‘B’’. For
this style actuator, the feedback arm rotates
clockwise, from B to A, as air pressure to the casing or
upper cylinder increases.
Note
When performing the following steps,
ensure there is enough clearance
between the adjustment arm and the
feedback arm to prevent interference
with the bias spring.
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 8-7.

Note
While the housing differs on the
DVC6025 and the DVC6020f, feedback
parts are the same.
As shown in figure 2-5, two feedback arms are
available for the remote feedback unit. 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 remote
feedback unit 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
8-8. 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
If required, a mounting adaptor is included in the
mounting kit. Attach the adaptor to the actuator as
shown in figure 2-5. Then attach the remote feedback
unit assembly to the adaptor. The roller on the remote
feedback unit feedback arm will contact the actuator
cam as it is being attached.
If no mounting adaptor is required, attach the
remote feedback unit assembly to the actuator or
mounting plate. The roller on the remote feedback unit
feedback arm will contact the actuator cam as it is
being attached.
8. For long-stroke sliding-stem actuators, after the
mounting is complete, check to be sure the roller
aligns with the position mark on the cam (see
figure 2-4). If necessary, reposition the cam to attain
alignment.
DVC6035 on Quarter-Turn Actuators
If ordered as part of a control valve assembly, the
factory mounts the remote feedback unit on the

Vent Connection
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
2
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
insider 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.
WARNING
The relay output constantly bleeds supply medium 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 DVC6010f and
DVC6030f digital valve controllers—remove the
plastic vent (key 52, figures 8-2 and 8-4). The vent
connection is 3/8 NPT internal. Typically, 12.7 mm
(0.5 inch) tubing is used to provide a remote vent.
To connect a remote vent to a DVC6020f digital
valve controller—replace the standard mounting
bracket (key 74, figure 8-3) 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.
Typically, 12.7 mm (0.5 inch) tubing is used to provide
a remote vent.
Use 10 mm (0.275 inch) outside diameter tubing to
connect the 1/4 NPT digital valve controller output
connection to the pneumatic actuator input connection.
If a volume tank is used to attenuate flow instabilities,
the volume needs to be at least 1.64 liters (100 cubic
inch) but not greater than 4.1 liters (250 cubic inch).
To tune the digital valve controller for an assembly
equipped with a volume tank, select a tuning set for an
actuator with roughly the same volume. Do not use
tuning set B when a volume tank is present.
Alternatively, flow fluctuations may be attenuated by
placing a 0.9 mm (0.035 inch) fixed restriction between
the regulator and the output. A list of fixed restriction
orifice specifications is presented in table 2-2.
WARNING
Personal injury or property damage
can occur from cover failure due to
overpressure. Ensure that the
housing vent opening is open and
free of debris to prevent pressure
buildup under the cover.

Mounting
Personal injury or property damage,
The DVC6005f base unit is designed to receive travel
information via a remote sensor. The remote can be
any of the following:
Emerson Process Management supplied
DVC6015, DVC6025 or DVC6035 feedback unit
An under-traveled 10 kOhm potentiometer used
in conjunction with onboard 30 kOhm resistor
(potentiometer travel is greater than actuator travel)
A potentiometer used in conjunction with two
fixed resistors (potentiometer travel is the same as

Using an External 10 kOhm Potentiometer
as a Remote Travel Sensor
Note
Potentiometer travel must be between
1.3 and 1.6 times greater than the
actuator travel. For example: if an
actuator has a travel of 9 inches, then
a linear potentiometer must be
selected with a rated travel between
11.7 and 14.4 inches. The resistive
element must be tapered from 0 kOhm
to 10 kOhm over rated travel of the
potentiometer. The actuator will only
use 63 to 76% of the potentiometer’s
rated travel.

Note
Do not connect the shield or drain wire
to any terminal on the feedback unit or
to the earth ground or any other
alternative grounds.
8. Replace and hand tighten all covers.
September 2013
Note
The digital valve controller must be
configured using the SStem/Roller
selection on the menu of the
appropriate setup device.
The base unit (DVC6005f) 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 connections terminal box on
the DVC6005f 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.
2-27
DVC6000f Digital Valve Controllers
1. Stroke the actuator with the 10 kOhm
potentiometer to the mid-travel position, which
corresponds to the potentiometer value of 5 kOhm.
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 (refer to figure 2-16).
3. If necessary, install conduit between the
2
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 2-23).
4. Connect one wire of the 3-conductor shielded cable
between the Terminal labeled “30k Ω” on the base unit
and one end lead of the potentiometer.
5. Connect the second wire of the 3-conductor
shielded cable between the middle lead (wiper) of the
10 kOhm potentiometer and Terminal 2 on the base
unit.
6. Connect the third wire of the 3-conductor shielded
cable between Terminal 3 on the base unit and the
other end-lead of the 10 kOhm potentiometer.
7. Connect the cable shield or drain wire to the
ground screw in the feedback connections terminal

This procedure uses three resistors connected in
series; two fixed resistors and one potentiometer.
Three conditions must be met for the resistor
combination to correctly operate the digital valve
controller (refer to figure 2-24):
The maximum resistance of the potentiometer
(R
pot(max)
) must be between 3.9 kOhm and 10 kOhm.
The resistance of R1 is 4.25 times greater than
R

Communication Connections
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.
A FOUNDATION fieldbus communicating device, such
as a Field Communicator or a personal computer
running ValveLink software, interfaces with the
DVC6000f digital valve controller from any wiring
termination point in the segment. If you choose to
connect the fieldbus communicating device directly to
the instrument, attach the device to the LOCAL
connections inside the terminal box to provide local
communications with the instrument.

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

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 2-20). 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 / Blocks section of
this manual, the FOUNDATION 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.
Commissioning T a g
The DVC6000f digital valve controller is supplied with
a removable paper commissioning tag, shown in figure
2-25. This tag contains both the device ID and a space
to record the device’s tag number. The device ID is a
unique code that identifies a particular device in the
absence of a device tag. The device tag is used as an
18B9406-G
Figure 2-25. Paper Commissioning Tag
operational identification for the device and is usually
defined by the piping and instrumentation diagram
(P&ID).
When commissioning more than one device on a
fieldbus segment, identifying which device is at a
particular location can be tedious without tags. The
removable tag provided with the digital valve controller
can be used to link the device ID and the physical
installation location. The installer should note the
physical location in both places on the removable
commissioning tag and tear off the bottom portion.
This should be done for each device on the segment.
The bottom portion of the tags can be used for
commissioning the segment in the control system.
Prior to commissioning, the device ID is displayed by
the host system if no device tag is configured in the
digital valve controller electronics. Typically the
placeholder displays the device tag. The information
on the paper tag enables the engineer to match the
device ID to the correct placeholder.
As an ordering option, the factory can enter a device
tag into the digital valve controller electronics during
the manufacturing process. If this option is specified,
the device tag is displayed at the host system prior to
commissioning rather than the device ID. This makes
the job of commissioning the device easier.

Valve Style—Select the valve style, rotary or
sliding-stem.
Zero Power Condition—Identifies whether the
valve is fully open or fully closed when the instrument
is outputing the smallest signal to the I/P module.
Typically, this setting matches the valve position when
the instrument is not powered. For instruments with
relay A or C, if increasing air pressure at output A
causes the valve to open, the Zero Power Condition is
Closed. If the valve closes under these conditions, the
Zero Power Condition is Open. For instruments with
relay B, if decreasing air pressure at output B causes
the valve to open, the Zero Power Condition is Closed.
If the valve closes under these conditions, the Zero
Power Condition is Open.

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, provide some
temporary means of control for the
process.
For instruments with relay B If decreasing air
pressure at output B causes the shaft to turn
clockwise, enter Clockwise. If it causes the shaft to
turn counterclockwise, enter Counterclockwise.
Table 3-2 lists the required Travel Sensor Motion
selections for Fisher and Baumann actuators.
Tuning Set—There are twelve tuning sets to
choose from. Each tuning set provides a preselected
value for the digital valve controller gain settings.
Tuning set C typically provides the slowest response
and M provides the fastest response. For smaller
actuators, use lower tuning sets (such as C or D). For
larger actuators, use higher tuning sets (such as F or
G). Table 3-3 lists the values for preselected tuning
sets.
Note
Tuning Set B is only available in
Pressure Control Mode.
In addition, you can select Expert, which allows you to
modify tuning of the digital valve controller by
specifying the gain values.
For instruments with relay A or C If increasing air
pressure at output A causes the shaft to turn
clockwise, enter Clockwise. If it causes the shaft to
turn counterclockwise, enter Counterclockwise.
September 2013
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 the
performance tuner to adjust the tuning set to get the
desired response.

DVC6000f Digital Valve Controllers
Note
When selecting a tuning set for a
DVC6015, DVC6025 or DVC6035 remote
mount unit, it may be necessary to
reduce the tuning set, due to the
effects of the long tubing between the
digital valve controller and the
actuator.

For an actuator not listed in the table, you can
estimate a starting tuning set by calculating the casing
or cylinder volume. Then, in the table, find an actuator
with the closest equivalent volume and use the tuning
set suggested for that actuator.
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.
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 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 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
5-4 for relay adjustment instructions.
If after completing auto setup and auto calibration the
valve seems slightly unstable or unresponsive, you
can improve operation by selecting Performance
Tuner from the Basic Setup menu.
Performance Tuner
Performance Tuner is used to optimize 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. Access Performance Tuner by
selecting Performance Tuner from the Basic Setup
menu.

Resource Block Overview
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
4
resource block parameters; however, all resource
block parameters are listed in table 4-3.
Configure/Setup
Write Lock
(RB > Configure/Setup > Write Lock)
Write Lock
Write Lock (WRITE_LOCK [34]) determines if writes
are permissible to other device parameters. The
Firmware Write Lock feature must be selected to be
able to use Write Lock (see Features). 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 Priority (WRITE_PRI [39]) sets the priority for
Write Alarm. The lowest priority is 0. The highest is
15.
Communication Time Out
(RB > Configure/Setup > Communication Time Out)
Shed Remote Cascade
Setup
Resource Block Mode
(RB > Configure/Setup > Setup > Resource Block
Mode)
Modes
The resource block can be in one of two modes
(MODE_BLK [5]):
Automatic (Auto)—This 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.
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 DVC6000f
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 =
20 secs).
4-4
September 2013
Resource Block
Shed Remote Out
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 DVC6000f 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
(RB > Configure/Setup > Options)
descriptions for Set Fault State (SET_FSTATE
[29]) and Clear Fault State (CLR_FSTATE [30]) in
table 4-3 and “Action on Fault Detection”.
Soft Write Lock—Soft 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 4-4.
Multi-bit Alarm (Bit-Alarm) Support— Multi-bit
Alarm (Bit-Alarm) Support permits the instrument to
treat each PlantWeb alert separately when
broadcast to the Host.Without Multi-Bit Alarm
Support, an individual PlantWeb alert must be
acknowledged before another PlantWeb alert can
be broadcast to the Host
Features Selected

Description
Data Type: Unsigned32
Manufacturer identification number, used by an
interface device or host to locate the DD file for
the resource. All manufacturer identification
numbers are maintained by the Fieldbus
Foundation. A host usually will have a base
directory for DD files. In this directory is a
subdirectory for each manufacturer id. In each
manufacturer id subdirectory is a directory for
each device type made by that manufacturer.
The device type directories contain files named
by combining the device revision for the
particular device type with the revision of the
device description. The manufacturer id for
Fisher is 0x005100.
Data Type: Unsigned16
Manufacturer’s model number associated with
the resource, used by an interface device to
locate the DD file for the resource.
Data Type: Unsigned8
Manufacturer’s revision number associated
with the resource, used by an interface device
to locate the DD file for the resource.
Data Type: Unsigned8
The minimum revision of the device description
(DD) than can be used with the device revision
of the instrument. Used by the interface device
to prevent the use of DDs that are incompatible
with the firmware in the instrument.
Data Type: DS-70
Options for controlling access of a host
computer and to block parameters. Parameter
contains two attributes Grant and Deny each
with program, tune, alarm and local
permissions. Clearing a grant permission sets
the corresponding deny permission, 0 = N/A, 1

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 3200 (100 milliseconds).
Date Type: Unsigned16
Memory, in kilobytes, available for additional
function blocks. Because no additional function
blocks may be added to DVC6000f
instruments, this parameter value is fixed at 45.
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
DVC6000f 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).
Because no additional function blocks may be
added to DVC6000f instruments, this
parameter value is fixed at 0.
Data Type: Float
Percent of block processing time that is free to
process additional blocks. Because no
additional function blocks may be added to
DVC6000f instruments, this parameter value is
fixed at 0.
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.

Description
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 4-72 and 4-153 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
4-5).
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 4-5.
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. For DVC6000f instruments, this value is
fixed at 3.
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 priority of 2. For a BLOCK_ALM to be
broadcast to the host the following conditions
must be met:
The feature Reports must be selected
Alert communication with the host must be
setup
In the ALARM_SUM parameter, the disable
bit for Block Alarm must be clear.
Data Type: DS-74
0=clear, acknowledged, reported, enabled
Current alert status, unacknowledged states,
unreported states, and disabled states of the
alarms associated with the function block. The
Resource block only has two alarms: Write
Alarm and Block Alarm.
Data Type: Bit String
0=Disable
1=Enable
Selection of whether alarms associated with
the block will be automatically acknowledged.
Data Type: Unsigned8
Priority of the alarm generated by setting
WRITE_LOCK to Unlocked.
Data Type: DS-72
This alarm is generated when Unlocked in the
WRITE_LOCK parameter is set. This alarm
has a priority of WRITE_PRI. For a
WRITE_ALM to be broadcast to the host the
following conditions must be met:
The feature Reports must be selected
Alert communication with the host must be
setup
In the ALARM_SUM parameter, the disable
bit for Write Alarm must be clear.
WRITE_PRI must be greater than 1.

Transducer Block
Transducer Block Overview
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 4-13.
Detailed Setup
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.
Protection
(TB > Configure/Setup > Detailed Setup > Protection)
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
4-4). In addition, protection is provided for various
transducer block parameters, as indicated in the
Protect Category column of table 4-13, to prevent
inadvertently overwriting key data by the host system
or user.
All— will protect all transducer block Parameters.
4
Note
To setup and calibrate the
instrument, the transducer block
Mode must be Manual and the
Protection must be None.
Transducer Block Mode
(TB > Configure/Setup > Detailed Setup > Transducer
Block Mode)
Modes
The transducer block can be in one of three 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.
Setup and Calibration— will protect only Setup
and Calibration transducer block parameters.
Calibration— will protect only Calibration
transducer block parameters.
None— will not protect any transducer block
parameters.
Note
The Device Setup Auto Travel and
Manual Travel methods automatically
change transducer block protection for
the user.
See table 4-13 for individual parameter details.

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
There are eleven Travel Tuning Sets
(TVL_TUNING_SET [42.10]) 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 4-8 lists the
proportional gain, velocity gain and minor loop
feedback gain values for preselected tuning sets.

Note
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 Expert tuning.
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.
Note
When selecting a tuning set for a
DVC6015, DVC6025 or DVC6035 remote
mount unit, it may be necessary to
reduce the tuning set, due to the
effects of the long tubing between the
digital valve controller and the
actuator.
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 will automatically
change the tuning set to X (expert).
4-22
Travel Proportional Gain
Travel Proportional Gain (SERVO_GAIN [18]) is the
proportional gain for the travel control tuning set.
Changing this parameter will also change the tuning
set to Expert.
Travel Velocity Gain
Travel Velocity Gain (SERVO_RATE [20]) is the
velocity gain for the travel control tuning set. Changing
this parameter will also change the tuning set to
Expert.
Travel MLFB Gain
Travel MLFB Gain (TVL_MLFB_GAIN [44.5]) is the
minor loop feedback gain for the travel control tuning
set. Changing this parameter will also change the
tuning set to Expert.
September 2013
Transducer Block
Travel Integral Enable
Travel Integral Enable (TVL_INTEG_ENABLE [44.1])
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
Travel Integral Gain (SERVO_RESET [19]) (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
Travel Integral Dead Zone (TVL_INTEG_DEADZ
[44.4]) is a window around the Primary Setpoint in
which the integral action is disabled. The dead band is
configurable from 0 to 2%.
Travel Integral Limit Hi
Travel Integral Limit Hi (TVL_INTEG_LIM_HI [44.2])
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
The Travel Integral Limit Lo (TVL_INTEG_LIM_LO
[44.3]) 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 the performance tuning the
valve may 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.
Performance Tuner is used to optimize 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. 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.
If after completing initial setup and calibration the
valve cycles or overshoots, or is sluggish, you can
improve operation 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.

CAUTION
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.
Travel Deviation Pressure Fallback
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.
Travel Cutoff Hi
Travel Cutoff Hi (FINAL_VALUE_CUTOFF_HI [15])
defines the high cutoff point for the travel in percent
(%) of pre-characterized setpoint. Above this cutoff,
the travel target is set to 123.0% of the ranged travel.
Travel Cutoff Hi is deactivated by setting it to 125.0%.
Travel Cutoff Lo
Travel Cutoff Lo (FINAL_VALUE_CUTOFF_LO [16])
defines the low cutoff point for the travel in percent (%)
of pre-characterized setpoint. Below this cutoff, the
travel target is set to −23%. A Travel Cutoff Lo of 0.5%
is recommended to help ensure maximum shutoff seat
loading. Travel Cutoff Lo is deactivated by setting it to
−25.0%
Pressure Cutoff Open
Pressure Cutoff Open (PRESS_CUTOFF_HI [47.1])
defines the high cutoff point for the pressure in percent
(%) of pre-characterized setpoint. Above this cutoff,

PlantWeb Alerts
Some instrument alert conditions can also be used to
trigger PlantWeb alerts that will be reported in Failed,
Maintenance or Advisory categories, as configured by
the user. PlantWeb alerts, when enabled, can
participate in the DeltaV alarm interface tools such as
the alarm banner, alarm list and alarm summary.
When a PlantWeb alert occurs, the DVC6000f 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 getting lost.
PlantWeb alerts are mode-based. Refer to table C-1
for details.
Note
Additional details on setting up and
using PlantWeb Alerts can be found in
Appendix C of this manual.
