Partial Stroke Test using ValveLink™ Software
A partial stroke test allows the Fisher™ FIELDVUE™ DVC6200 SIS digital valve controllers to perform a diagnostic test
while the instrument is in service and operational. In a safety application, it is important to be able to exercise and test
the valve to verify that it will open or close when commanded. If a safety demand arises, the partial stroke test will
abort and the valve will move to its commanded position.
The test procedure contained in this Instruction Manual Supplement is to be considered as a guideline only and should
be modified to address site‐specific requirements. Use this procedure in conjunction with the Safety Manual
(D103601X012
by specific plant safety guidelines for safe operation.
