DVC6200 Digital Valve Controllers

The Zero Point Calibration procedure allows you replace an existing DVC6200 digital valve controller without
performing a travel calibration. This procedure can be used when a situation occurs that requires the partial or
complete replacement of a digital valve controller when part of a valve assembly that does not have a process bypass
or the process cannot be shut down.

WARNING

Personal injury or property damage, caused by unexpected valve movement and an uncontrolled process, could result if
this procedure is attempted when the valve is not locked at its present position. If you cannot safely lock the valve in
position until this procedure is complete, do not proceed with this procedure.

Notes

This procedure should only used for the partial or complete replacement of a digital valve controller when the valve does not have
a bypass or the process cannot be shut down. Do not proceed with this procedure if the valve has a bypass or the process can be
shut down.

This procedure assumes the array was set up properly on the existing DVC6200 and has not been moved or adjusted since setup.

The valve will need to be locked at its present position. This can be accomplished by using a handwheel or other mechanism. If you

cannot safely lock the valve in position until this procedure is complete, do not proceed with this procedure.

™

This procedure requires the use of a 475 Field Communicator, AMS Trex

This procedure can be used to swap a DVC6200 with another DVC6200. You cannot swap a DVC6000 with a DVC6200 using this
procedure. The DVC6200 used to replace the existing digital valve controller must be a new, factory calibrated instrument. This
procedure will not work if a previously installed and calibrated digital valve controller is used.

Device Communicator, or ValveLink™ software.

The touch screen of the 475 Field Communicator or AMS Trex Device Communicator should only be contacted by blunt
items. The use of a sharp instrument can cause damage to the touch screen interface.

Alignment Verification

Note

The rotary end mount array is the only array that must be verified. If the array is not at mid-travel, remove and reposition prior to
mounting the DVC6200.

All other arrays can be mounting in any direction, as they are not affected by north south polarity.

Alignment of the rotary array can impact the ability of the DVC6200 digital valve controller to properly follow the
setpoint. To ensure proper operation, the array must be mounted to the actuator with the label facing the gauge side
of the positioner when the valve is at 50% (mid) travel, see figure 3 below. If the array position is different, the array
should be removed and reoriented prior to mounting the DVC6200.

WARNING

Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before proceeding
with any Installation procedures:

D Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear to prevent personal injury or property damage.

D Do not remove or uncouple the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.

D The valve will need to be locked at its present position. If you cannot safely lock the valve in position until this procedure

is complete, do not proceed with this procedure.

D After the valve has been safely locked in position, 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 lock‐out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.

D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process

media.

Note

The lack of a travel calibration can impact the accuracy of the position feedback. While this does not impact the positioner’s ability
to control the process, it can influence the results of specific diagnostic tests. These tests include: Valve Signature, Dynamic Error
Band, and Step Response.

Block the valve into position either with a handwheel, with a pneumatic bypass arrangement that includes a regulator
and pressure gauge, or by mechanicallylocking the valve. Remove the existing digital valve controller by disconnecting
mounting hardware, being careful NOT to loosen or move the magnetic array that is connected to the valve stem
block. The magnetic array will remain on the valve and its position must remain the same. Install the new DVC6200
over the existing array assembly.

WARNING

Personal injury or property damage, caused by unexpected valve movement, could result if the digital valve controller is
put in service with the connector arm or array moved from its original position.

If the connector arm or array is moved, the digital valve controller must be calibrated before putting it in service. Refer to
the appropriate instruction manual or quick start guide for calibration information.

Ensure that air and signal is supplied to the digital valve controller and remove mechanism for locking the valve in
place. Allow for a slow transition from manual to auto loop control.

Note

For a DVC6200 on a DeltaV system go to Detailed Setup to ensure the input units are set to 0 - 100%.

Note

To ensure greater accuracy, perform an auto travel calibration on the digital valve controller when conditions allow.
