What is ValveLink Software?
ValveLink software is a Windows software package that communicates with HART and FOUNDATION Fieldbus
FIELDVUE digital valve controllers. ValveLink software supports access to the information available from DVC6200,
DVC6200f, DVC2000, DVC6000, and DVC6000f digital valve controllers, and retired DVC5000 and DVC5000f
digital valve controllers.
ValveLink software:
Communicates with HART instruments (DVC6200, DVC2000, DVC6000, DVC5000) over the existing 4‐20
milliamp (mA) signal wiring via either HART modem or HART multiplexer.
Communicates with FOUNDATION Fieldbus instruments (DVC6200f, DVC6000f, and DVC5000f) over the fieldbus
H1 segment via the Emerson USB Fieldbus Interface, a National Instruments communications card, or National
Instruments USB fieldbus interface.
Batch Runner or Scheduler automate repetitive actions.
Accesses real‐time instrument status and diagnostic data.
Overlays current diagnostic test displays with Signature Series test data collected when the valve was new.
Monitors control performance during process operations using ValveLink software trending capabilities.
Has the ability to move data between installations using the Merge Database function.
Supports the automated adjustment of digital valve controller performance using the Performance Tuner.
Provides a detailed event log through AuditLog.
PD Performance Diagnostics provide in‐service diagnostics for monitoring the health of the valve assembly
without disturbing the process.
Solenoid Valve Test to test and monitor the health of the solenoid connected to the valve assembly (SIS Only).
Generates diagnostic, calibration, and configuration reports in Microsoft Word and PDF format.

Installing ValveLink Solo
Note
You cannot copy the installed program files to another computer or to another directory or hard disk. ValveLink Solo will not work if
the installed program files are copied to another computer, directory, or hard disk.
You cannot move installed programs to another computer; doing so will invalidate your ValveLink software license.
Note
To install ValveLink Solo on a personal computer you must log on as Administrator or as a user with Administrator privileges.
The initial installation of ValveLink software will default to read-only permissions. Assign permissions to appropriate Windows Users
following the process in section 8 of this document.
Step 1: Close all applications on your desktop.
Step 2: Insert the CD into the CD drive of your computer.
If the drive's auto run is enabled, the install wizard will start automatically. Follow the prompts on the screen to start
the installation process.
If auto run is disabled, start the install from the run window; Select Start > Run from the taskbar. In the text box, type
D:SETUP.EXE (where D is the CDROM drive letter). Click OK and follow the prompts.
Step 3: In the ValveLink software installation Welcome window displays as shown in figure 2‐1 select the desired
installation(s) and click Next to continue.
Step 4: Follow the prompts on screen to finish the installation.
Step 5: If you are installing ValveLink Solo for the first time, you will be prompted to run the License Wizard at
the end of the installation process, as shown in figure 3‐1. Select OK, and follow the prompts on the
screen, or select Cancel, and run the License Wizard later. Note that you are not able to run ValveLink
Solo without a valid license. See Section 7 for details on running the License Wizard.

Re‐installing the Software
If you are re‐installing ValveLink Solo, remember:
It is not necessary to uninstall a previous version of the program.
The version you are installing will overwrite an older version of the program and use the existing license.
Restart your computer before running the ValveLink software installation program so a complete, clean
installation is possible.
The ValveLink software installation process allows you to save an existing database.

ValveLink SNAP‐ON Installation Overview
ValveLink SNAP‐ON is a software application that is installed as an integral part of AMS Device Manager to extend its
functionality. ValveLink SNAP‐ON adds the diagnostic test capabilities of ValveLink software to AMS Device
Manager.
A USB hardware key is not used for installing ValveLink SNAP‐ON. However, AMS Device Manager must be
licensed for the ValveLink SNAP‐ON.
