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

proportional‐plus‐integral‐plus‐derivative control.

 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.

Using This Manual

Navigation paths and fast‐key sequences are included for procedures and parameters that can be accessed using a
Device Communicator.

For example, to access Resource Block Mode:

Device Communicator RB > Configure/Setup > Setup > Resource Block Mode

An overview of the resource and transducer block menu structures are shown in Appendix B. Menu structures for the
function blocks are included with each function block section in Detailed Setup.

Throughout this document, parameters are typically 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.

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
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.

Performance Tuner

Device Communicator TB > Configure/Setup > Detailed Setup > Response Control > Travel Tuning > Performance Tuner

WARNING

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.

Detailed Setup - Resource Block

May 2022

Section 4 Detailed Setup 4-4-

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 Communicator RB > 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.

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.

Tag Description (TAG_DESC [2]) is used to assign a unique 32 character description to each block within the digital

valve controller to describe the intended application for the block.

Strategy (STRATEGY [3]) permits strategic grouping of blocks so the operator can identify where the block is located.
The blocks may be grouped by plant area, plant equipment, etc. Enter a value between 0 and 65535 in the Strategy
field.

Manufacturer (MANUFAC_ID [10]) identifies the manufacturer of the instrument. It is used by the host system to
locate the DD file for the device. For Fisher the Manufacturer ID is 0x5100.

Device Type (DEV_TYPE [11]) identifies the type of device. It is used by the host system to locate the DD file for the
device. For a DVC6200f digital valve controller the device type is 0x4602.

Version

Device Revision (DEV_REV [12]) is the manufacturer's revision number associated with the resource, used by an
interface device to locate the DD file for the resource.

Firmware Revision (FIRMWARE_REVISION [105]) identifies the revision of the firmware that is currently in use.

Standby Firmware Revision (STBY_FIRMWARE_REVISION [111]) identifies the revision of the alternative firmware.

Hardware Revision (HARDWARE_REVISION [83]) identifies the revision of the electronic hardware.

ITK Version (ITK_VER [41]) identifies the major version of the Interoperability Tester used by the Fieldbus Foundation

in certifying the device as interoperable. This device revision meets the requirements of version 6.

Alert Handling

Simulate Enabled/Disabled (FD_SIMULATE [73]), when enabled, allows the user to write to the following Field
Diagnostic and Instrument alert parameters; Failed Active, Maintenance Active, Offspec Active, and Check Active. This
provides a way to simulate these alerts for testing. In order to enable Field Diagnostic Alerts Simulate, the Aux
Terminal must be jumpered.

Simulate Active Alerts is cleared on a power cycle. It can also be cleared manually, or by removing the Aux terminal
jumper.

Refer to Alerts on page 54 for additional information setting Field Diagnostic and Instrument alerts.
