GENERAL INFORMATION
Introduction
This document provides detailed information about the
function of the Logix 520MD+ Device Description (DD). The
DD follows the protocol provided by the HART
Communication Foundation. For more information about

Qualified Personnel
Qualified personnel are people who, on account of their
training, experience, instruction and their knowledge of
relevant standards, specifications, accident prevention
regulations and operating conditions, have been authorized
by those responsible for the safety of the plant to perform the
necessary work and who can recognize and avoid possible
dangers.
In using this software, the position and operation of the
related valves can be affected. Product users and
maintenance personnel should thoroughly review the effects
of any functions before applying those functions.
Using This Document
The features listed below are numbered to correspond to
their location in the DD menu tree. Some menu items may
not be available depending on positioner upgrade status and
the presence of auxiliary cards.
Terms Concerning Safety
The safety terms DANGER, CAUTION and NOTE are used
in these instructions to highlight particular dangers and/or to
provide additional information on aspects that may not be
readily apparent.
To avoid possible injury to personnel or damage to valve
parts, DANGER and CAUTION notes must be strictly
followed. Modifying this product, substituting non-factory
parts or using maintenance procedures other than outlined
could drastically affect performance and be hazardous to
personnel and equipment, and may void existing warranties.
NOTE: indicates and provides additional technical
information, which may not be very obvious even to qualified
personnel.
CAUTION: Indicates that minor personal injury and/or
property damage can occur if proper precautions are not
taken.
DANGER: Indicates that death, severe personal injury
and/or substantial property damage can occur if proper
precautions are not taken.
DD User Manual - Logix® 520MD+ Series Digital Positioner FCD-LGENSF0013-01
View the minimum temperature the positioner has seen since
the last factory reset was performed.
3.5.6 Max Power Up Temperature
View the maximum temperature the positioner has seen
since the last time the positioner was powered up.
3.5.7 Min Power Up Temperature
View the minimum temperature the positioner has seen since
the last time the positioner was powered up.
3.5.8 Humidity Percent
View the current relative humidity inside the positioner.
3.6 Health Data
View the warning level for each category. The 520MD+
positioner monitors the conditions that affect the ability of the
valve to respond. As these conditions worsen, a warning
level is shown. A low value such as 0% indicates no
warning. A high value such as 90% indicates the ability to
control may be impaired soon. A value of 100 indicates that
the valve may no longer be responsive.
3.6.1 Valve Health % Warning
The warning value from 0 to 100% based on warnings and
alarms related to valve health such as friction. A lower value
indicates less serious issues.
View the pneumatic leakage of the actuator. This value does
not include normal air consumption.
3.7.4 Valve Travel
View the amount the valve has traveled in percent of total
stroke length.
3.7.5 Valve Cycles
View the number of cycles the valve has travelled. This is
the number of times the valve has changed directions twice.
3.7.6 Piezo Volts
View the voltage supplied to the piezo element in the
positioner's pilot relay. This should typically be between 0
and 24 VDC.
3.6.2 Actuator Health % Warning
The warning value from 0 to 100% based on warnings and
alarms related to actuator health such as supply pressure. A
lower value indicates less serious issues.
3.6.3 Positioner Health % Warning
The warning value from 0 to 100% based on warnings and
alarms related to positioner health such as circuit board
malfunction. A lower value indicates less serious issues.
3.6.4 Control Health % Warning
The warning value from 0 to 100% based on warnings and
alarms related to control health such as deviation. A lower
value indicates less serious issues.
3.7 Diagnostic Values
View basic diagnostic information. Pro diagnostics are
required.
3.7.1 Friction
View the friction of the valve and actuator assembly.
3.7.2 Actuation Ratio
View the effort required to move the valve in the direction that
compresses the spring. The ratio is the force required to
overcome friction, spring, and process load forces over the
force available from the current supply pressure.
