Introduction

Product Overview

The FIELDVUE DVC6000 HW2 digital valve controller is designed to control the pneumatic actuator of a process
control valve. It receives a current signal from a host and uses instrument air supply to create a metered pressure
output signal to the pneumatic actuator. Movement of the actuator as it positions the process control valve is
measured by the DVC6000 HW2 travel sensor as its primary feedback. The name plate is located on the bottom side of
the DVC6000 HW2 master module assembly and indicates the model name, individual product serial number, and any
applicable third party approvals.

Purpose of this document

This specification is designed to be a technical reference for HART capable host application developers, system
integrators and knowledgeable end-users. It also provides functional specifications (e.g., commands, enumerations
and performance requirements) used during field device development, maintenance and testing. This document
assumes the reader is familiar with HART Protocol requirements and terminology. Additional product information is
available in DVC6000 HW2 product literature, available from Emerson Automation Solutions.

codes, status, and range values.

Named Variable – a logical point inside the device, hardmapped to a given MV as the source

Product Interfaces

Control Valve Interface

The DVC6000 HW2 digital valve controller is mechanically attached to the valve’s actuator by means of a mounting
bracket. The control valve's position is conveyed to the travel sensor of the DVC6000 HW2 digital valve controller by
means of the feedback bracket attached to the actuator’s stem.

MOUNTING

W8373

Pneumatic tubing connected to the DVC6000 HW2 brings instrument supply air to the DVC6000 HW2 and takes
controlled output air from the DVC6000 HW2 to the actuator. Pressure sensors in the DVC6000 HW2 measure these
pressure signals and present them as device variables

Host interface

The input to the DVC6000 HW2 can either be twowire 4to20 mA current loop (in pointtopoint mode) or 24 VDC
(in multidrop mode). This input is connected in the DVC6000 HW2’s terminal box on two terminals marked “LOOP +”
and “LOOP ”. Refer to the DVC6000 HW2 quick start guide for connection details.

Pushbutton Calibration

A pushbutton near the wiring terminals in the terminal box provides a quick means to autocalibrate the travel of the
instrument. The button must be pressed for 3 to 10 seconds. Autocalibration will move the valve through the full
range of travel whether the Instrument Mode is In Service or Out of Service. However, if the Write Protection is
Protected, this button will not be active. To abort, press the button again for 1 second. The calibration button is
disabled by default.

Internal Jumpers And Switches (Optional)

The input to the DVC6000 HW2 is determined by the PtPt/MultiDrop switch on the printed wiring board.

The DVC6000 HW2 also has a pair of optional “Output” terminals that can either function as a position transmitter or a
discrete switch. Electrical configuration of the output circuit requires the proper setting of a DIP switch on the
DVC6000 HW2’s printed wiring board. Additionally, the functional operation of the output circuit must be configured
with the user interface.

Refer to the DVC6000 HW2 instruction manual for additional details on the settings of the selection switches.

Write Protection

There are two Write Protection states for the DVC6000 HW2: Not Protected or Protected. Protected prevents
configuration and calibration changes to the instrument. The default setting is Not Protected. Protection is controlled
under software control. Write Protection can be enabled remotely. However, to disable Write Protection to Not
Protected, you must have physical access to the instrument. The procedure will require you to press a button inside
the terminal box when directed by the software as a security measure.

Status Information

Device Status

The Field Device Status Byte is the only status byte defined in the HART protocol. The order and meaning of each of the
eight bits within the byte are fixed by the protocol. This byte is one of the status bytes included with each HART
response. It is not part of the Command 48 data.

Bit Name of Status Bit Meaning

7 Field Device Malfunction

6 Configuration Changed

5 Cold Start

4 More Status Active when any bit in command 48 is active.

3 Analog Input Fixed

2 Analog Input Saturated The loop current reading is beyond sensor limits.

1 Internal Sensor Out of Limits

0 Variable Out of Range Set when any variable 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 or 10, is saturated.

Set / cleared by the firmware based on self test results. This bit is set if the
pressure, position or temperature sensors provide invalid readings.

Two such bits exist internally, one for each HART master. Both copies are set
when any variable, HART message, tag, descriptor or date are changed from
HART. Cleared by command 38, separately for each master. This bit survives
loss of power.

Set by the firmware whenever a RESET sequence is executed or at initial
device power up. Cleared by the first HART command. Two such bits exist
internally, one for each HART master.

Active if the Instrument Mode of the DVC6000 HW2 is in the “Out Of
Service” condition or if the Control Mode of the DVC6000 HW2 is in one of
the digital set point modes.

(This bit is named “NonPrimary Variable Out Of Limits” in the HART
documentation for transmitters. It has been renamed to reflect the fact that
these variables are INTERNAL INPUTS to FIELDVUE products). The firmware
sets this bit when any sensor (pressure, position, temperature) exceeds its
operating limits.

Command 15: Read Primary Variable Output Information

This command returns the upper/lower range values for the primary variable which is defined to be the loop current
signal. These are the loop current values for the ends of physical travel, and are used to derive set point from the loop
current. It reports the range supplied in Command 35.

For example, the lower range, for an increase to open valve, will be the current which will produce a 0% set point.
However, for an increase to close valve, the lower range will be the loop current for a 100% set point.

The range values can be changed via Command 35.

The DVC6000 HW2 assumes 0% = 4mA and 100% = 20mA.
