Basic Dashboard

The Basic Dashboard is a high level view of the status of the positioner. It is the main view of the ValveSight® DTM.

Status Area

The Active Indicator area shows the status of the most relevant active indicator. The color of the "LED light" corresponds to the Active Indicator and the first color of the blink code sequence on the positioner. Generally green indicates no immediate issues. Yellow indicates a developing issue. Red indicates the ability to control may be compromised. A detailed list of the indicators is given in the Alarm Congfiguraion - Alarm Annunicator page. The Command Source field indicates weather the positioner is being controlled by digital or an analog (4-20 mA) command source.

Command and Position

This area contains a graphical representations of the valve command and position. The blue bar tracks the final command value (after adjustments for characterization curves). The green position bar indicates the current measured position of the valve. The smaller pointers show the settings of the travel alert settings (these can be changed on the Travel Alerts page located under Alarms/Alerts). Grayed out zones at the top or bottom of the graphs indicate the settings of soft travel limits.

18

ValveSight™ Diagnostics DTM Manual for Logix MD+ Positioner with HART®

FCD- LGENSF0014-00

Input Source

Select the analog or digital control mode. In analog mode, the positioner will position the valve according to the 4-20 mA supplied current. In digital mode, the positioner will position according to the value entered in the Digital Input field.

Pressure

Supply, port A and port B pressures are seen in this box. If the Supply Pressure field is yellow or red, there is a problem with the supply pressure to the positioner. The fields in the Pressure box are only active if the positioner is upgraded to have Advanced or Pro diagnostics.

19

ValveSight™ Diagnostics DTM Manual for Logix MD+ Positioner with HART®

FCD- LGENSF0014-00

Ambient Temperature

The temperature and relative humidity inside the positioner are shown here. The units for temperature can be changed in the Positioner Configuration - Units page.

Dip Switch Configuration

The box shows the current configuration of the DIP switches on the front of the positioner. These switches should be set on the positioner before calibration. The configuration that is set by the DIP switches can be overridden in the software using the DTM. (See the Basic/Local Interface page of the DTM). If this is the case, an X will be shown in the box to the right of the item. Be careful when changing the configuration in software because performing a position calibration (Quick-Cal) will reset the configuration according to the physical DIP switch settings. See you instructions for the positioner for a detailed explanation of the switches.

HART Status

Communication with the DTM is displayed here. The Transmit field displays a data packet transmitted to the positioner. The Receive field shows data packets received from the positioner. These are constantly updating. If they appear static, there may be a problem with communications.

20

ValveSight™ Diagnostics DTM Manual for Logix MD+ Positioner with HART®

FCD- LGENSF0014-00

Advanced Dashboard

The Dashboard view is the main diagnostic view of the ValveSight® DTM. Generally, the color green signifies a healthy condition, yellow signifies some degradation has taken place, and red signifies a problem that needs to be addressed right away. You can identify problems right away by observing any red areas on this page.

Status Area

The Active Indicator area shows the status of the most relevant active indicator. The color of the "LED light" corresponds to the Active Indicator and the first color of the blink code sequence on the positioner. Generally green indicates no immediate issues. Yellow indicates a developing issue. Red indicates the ability to control may be compromised. A detailed list of the indicators is given in the Alarm Congfiguraion - Alarm Annunicator page. The Command Source field indicates weather the positioner is being controlled by digital or an analog (4-20 mA) command source.

Command and Position

This area contains a graphical representations of the valve command and position. The blue pointer tracks the final command value after adjustments for characterization curves, Soft Limits, and Tight Shut Off. The green position bar indicates the current measured position of the valve. The smaller pointers show the settings of the travel alert settings (these can be changed on the Travel Alerts page located under Alarms/Alerts). Grayed out

21

ValveSight™ Diagnostics DTM Manual for Logix MD+ Positioner with HART®

FCD- LGENSF0014-00

zones at the top or bottom of the graphs indicate the settings of Soft Limits. The command chart also displays the settings for travel limits and position Tight Shut Off (Minimum Position Cut Off (MPC)) limits. If the positioner has been configured for Tight Shut Off this will show up in the field below the position bar. The Pressure Lock field indicates if the positioner is locked on a steady command by controlling the pressures, or tracking a moving command signal.

Input Source

The command source can be changed to analog or digital mode. In analog mode, the positioner will position the valve according to the 4-20 mA supplied current. In digital mode, the positioner will position the valve according to the value entered in the Digital Input field.

HART Status

The status of HART communication with the DTM is displayed here. The Transmit field displays a data packet transmitted to the positioner. The Receive field shows data packets received from the positioner. These are constantly updating. If they appear static, there may be a problem with communications.

22

FCD- LGENSF0014-00

Health Status

The Health Status box has health indication bars for Valve, Position, Actuator, and Control which are displayed in 4 bar graphs in the center of the dashboard. These are powerful, visual diagnostic tools. Information from all of the diagnostic indications are rolled up into these health bars. As the graphs turn color (from green to yellow to red) they indicate developing issues. The health of the four key components of a control valve can be identified quickly by looking at the color of the bar. If the bars only show green then everything is operating within normal limits and no further action is required. If the bar is partially yellow it is pointing out a degraded condition. The further the bar goes to the right the more serious the degradation. If the bar is red then action should be taken immediately because the ability to control may be compromised. To learn more about any of the 4

health areas, click the double arrows ( ) button at the end of the bar. This leads to the detailed health status page for that particular item.

NOTE: Health Status bars are only available with the Advanced ValveSight® license viewing positioners with Advanced or Pro diagnostics. See the licensing and upgrade pages under Positioner Configuration in the DTM for more information.

Dip Switch Configuration

The box shows the current configuration of the DIP switches on the front of the positioner. These switches should be set on the positioner before calibration. The configuration that is set by the DIP switches can be overridden in the software using the DTM. (See the Basic/Local Interface page of the DTM). If this is the case, an X will be shown in the box to the right of the item. Be careful when changing the configuration in software because performing a position calibration (Quick-Cal) will reset the configuration according to the physical DIP switch settings. See you instructions for the positioner for a detailed explanation of the switches.

23

ValveSight™ Diagnostics DTM Manual for Logix MD+ Positioner with HART®

FCD- LGENSF0014-00

Pressure

Pressure values are shown here. The units for pressure can be changed in the Positioner Configuration - Units page. The pressure gages for Port 1 and Port 2 read directly from the pressure sensors in the positioner. For single acting configurations, the Port 2 gage is not be active. Should the DTM view a device with no pressure sensors, all 3 gauges will be inactive. Pressure sensors are calibrated in the factory. A pressure calibration is not required unless there has been sever pressure or thermal stress on the positioner. See the Calibration - Sensor Calibration page.

NOTE: Pressure gauges are only available while viewing positioners with Advanced or Pro diagnostics. See the Positioner Upgrade page under Positioner Configuration in the DTM for more information.

Temperature

This gage shows the temperature on the circuit board in the positioner. The units for temperature can be changed in the Positioner Configuration - Units page.

24

ValveSight™ Diagnostics DTM Manual for Logix MD+ Positioner with HART®

FCD- LGENSF0014-00

Humidity

This gage shows the Humidity on the circuit board inside the positioner. Since the positioner should be run with a dry air supply, this value should be near zero most of the time. Elevated humidity inside the positioner may significantly shorten the life of the positioner. Sensor accuracy is +/-10% RH. The sensors are calibrated in the factory. No other calibration is required.

25

FCD- LGENSF0014-00

Alarms Annunciator

The Alarm Annunciator page displays the status of all

diagnostic indicators. The status is shown in by the indicator "light". The checkboxes allow masking of indicators.

Status Area

The Active Indicator area shows the status of the most relevant active indicator. The color of the "LED light" corresponds to the Active Indicator and the first color of the blink code sequence on the positioner. Generally green indicates no immediate issues. Yellow indicates a developing issue. Red indicates the ability to control may be compromised. A detailed list of the indicators is given below. The Command Source field indicates weather the positioner is being controlled by digital or an analog (4-20 mA) command source.

27

ValveSight™ Diagnostics DTM Manual for Logix MD+ Positioner with HART®

Legend

Each indicator group box may contain the following components:

• An "LED light" indicates health status. Warning and alarm limits (set by the user in many cases) determine the conditions when the color will turn from green to yellow to red. The most sever of the indicators on this page will be shown in the health bar on the Dashboard.

• Dark Green circle indicates a healthy condition where no attention is needed.

• Light Green indicates an occurrence of a normal activity that does

not affect the health of the valve system.

• Yellow circle indicates that an active warning, alert or mode is present.

• Red circle indicates that an active alarm or state is present that could seriously limit the operation of the valve.

• Gray circle indicates that the feature or condition is not available because the configuration of the hardware or software does not support it.

• A checkbox indicates the masked status. Check to mask. If a particular indicator is masked, it will not be shown in the active indicator field at the top of each screen, affect the status of the health bars on the main dashboard, be sent in command 48, or be seen on the blinking LEDs on the positioner. It will however continue to show on this page.
