Instruction Manual

D103189X012

Specifications

This product was intended for a specific range of service conditions‐‐pressure, pressure drop, process and ambient
temperature, temperature variations, process fluid, and possibly other specifications. Do not expose the product to
service conditions or variables other than those for which the product was intended. If you are not sure what these
conditions or variables are, contact your Emerson sales office
other pertinent information that you have available.

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

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.

DVC6020f Digital Valve Controller

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.

1

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.

An overview of the Field Communicator resource block
and transducer block menu structures are shown at
the beginning of this manual. Menu structures for the
function blocks are included with each function block
section in Detailed Setup / Blocks.

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.
