The ValVue software package provides a powerful interface to Masoneilan Smart Valve Interfaces, the 12400 Digital Level Transmitter (HDLT), and other HART instruments. This manual describes the functionality of ValVue software and contains information needed to install and use ValVue with the SVI II AP, SVi1000, DLT 12400 positioners and the VECTOR WirelessHART adapter.
ValVue has a 60-day free trial period before a license is required. After the 60-day trial period, ValVue will not execute. The trial period allows you to evaluate advanced functions such as:
ValVue Lite is offered without registration. It provides sufficient functions to fully commission, configure, and start up a positioner on a control valve.
ValVue can be accessed as a standalone application or it can be accessed as a SNAP-ON to the Emerson Process Management AMS, or a Plug In Application to Yokogawa system. Procedures for finding and selecting devices are different in the two contexts. ValVue standalone offers login, user administration, and device selection. For AMS SNAP-ON users, the AMS login, user administration, and device selection, methods are used. The SNAP-ON application requires a license. Contact the factory for licensing information.

The SVI II AP and SVi1000 can be configured, calibrated, and operated locally or remotely using ValVue software on a Windows based computer with a HART modem. Normal control signaling is with 4 to 20 mA DC current (ANSI/ISA-50.1-1982 - (R1992)). For more information on the individual devices, refer to SVI II AP Instruction Manual (GEA19681) or the SVi1000 Instruction Manual (GEA19363), Model V1100 Wireless Adapter Instruction Manual (GEA19362) or 12400 Series Level Transmitter Instruction Manual an Safety Guide (GEA19367).
By using ValVue software it is possible to monitor, configure, calibrate, control and perform valve diagnostics, remotely. ValVue can also provide a basic interface to other HART instruments.
This manual is intended to assist you in easily installing, administrating, and using ValVue to set up, configure, calibrate, monitor operation, and troubleshoot the ValVue family of positioners. This manual contains subsections for each device.

Administration |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Using the ValVue installation procedures detailed in this chapter requires basic knowledge of Microsoft Windows operating systems and Masoneilan positioners.
NOTE |
For installation and administration of AMS, see instructions provided with |
|
AMS. |
ValVue is distributed on a CD-ROM and runs on a standard IBM-compatible computer. To successfully install and run ValVue, your computer system must meet or exceed the following minimum hardware and software requirements.
Windows Pentium or compatible microprocessor; 64 Mb RAM CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive
An available serial communication port or USB port A HART modem
Before installing ValVue, determine which port the computer uses for serial (RS-232 or USB) communication. The HART modem and RS232/485 or USB converter for ValVue multiplexor configuration both use this port for communication with the positioner.

|
The positioner requires a HART compliant communications loop. The HART protocol specifies the noise level, impedance requirements, and configuration of the loop. Conventional communications loops consisting of the following components meet requirements for HART compliance.
When a safe barrier separates the communicating devices, a HART compliant barrier must be used.
NOTE |
You cannot connect or use ValVue and another HART master |
|
terminal device (at the same time), for example a handheld device. |
If the PC (using a modem) fails to communicate with the HART positioner the message No Devices Found appears in the Connected Devices page. The message HART I/O Failed appears if the device communications fails during the session. Communication failure prevents the PC from establishing a link. Possible causes of communications failure related to installation include:
If HART compliance problems are suspected prepare a detailed description of the loop, including all devices on the loop, type of wiring used, loop length, and presence of any possible interference sources before contacting the factory for assistance.

An administrative program, ValVue 2 Administration, is installed along with ValVue. After successful installation, the ValVue system administrator should change the default login and password using the administrative program. There are two default login names installed and they are both case sensitive (Table 1).

Store the ValVue setup CD-ROM in a secure location to provide system security.
In a system having many users with various levels of training and responsibility it is recommended to restrict certain user’s access to a limited range of functions. Starting the ValVue program requires a valid account with a user name and a password for each user. The privilege level associated with a ValVue account determines which functions of the program the user is allowed to access.
The ValVue Administration program, ValVue2Admin.exe, allows the administrator to perform all user account administrative functions, run ValVue and control access to the functionality of HART positioner. AMS handles security with passwords differently from ValVue. See the AMS documentation.
The administrative functions include:

|
positioner to be disconnected from the process control system. |
|
The administration program, when first installed, contains two |
|
accounts. One account is the administrator account that you are |
|
using. The other account has User Name of masoneilan in lower |
|
case and password of new also in lower case. The masoneilan |
|
account is assigned privilege level 8 that allows use of the process |
|
control simulator for training purposes. The process control |
|
simulator duplicates, in software, a process with a dead time of |
|
one second and a lag of five seconds. Never assign permission |
|
level 8 to basic users. |
CAUTION |
The administrator should change the login names and passwords. |
|
Continued use of the login account names and passwords renders |
|
the system insecure. |
ValVue Lite does not require the administration program, and does not require passwords. If restricted access is required, distribution of the ValVue Lite program software must be limited.

Privilege Level
Each user is assigned an account with an associated privilege level associated. You provide ValVue users an appropriate privilege level so you can keep field devices secure from the actions of unknowledgeable or unauthorized users.
Privilege level ranges from 0 (lowest) to 9 (highest). Table 2 defines several privilege levels that control access to specific functions of the ValVue program.
It is recommended that the administrator be assigned a second login name and password with lower privilege, such as level 4, for routine use.

|
|
Security Level |
Description |
|
|
|
|
Level 0 |
Allows you to login to ValVue only if the connected positioner is in normal operating |
|
mode. You can send commands that replies with configuration, calibration, and |
|
status information, but you cannot change any information. Level 0 users cannot |
|
go to manual mode. |
|
|
Level 1 |
Allows you access to either normal operating mode or manual mode. You can |
|
transfer from one to another mode (i.e. you can take the positioner out of normal |
|
mode and put it in manual mode). However, you cannot change the calibration or |
|
configuration. |
|
|
Level 3 |
Allows you to change the configuration or calibration values, but does not allow |
|
you to perform operations that stroke the valve (Find Stops and diagnostics). |
|
|
Level 4 |
Allows you to perform all operations except Save Factory standard valve signature |
|
and Restore SVI Memory. |
|
|
Level 8 |
This level is intended for training and should be used cautiously. It grants all of the |
|
privileges of level 4 plus allows access to the simulation mode of the optional pro- |
|
cess controller. The process controller is an available option. The simulation mode |
|
of the controller allows you to run the process controller without connecting a pro- |
|
cess variable input to the positioner and is useful for learning how to operate the |
|
process controller. Never assign level 8 to ordinary users! |
|
|
Level 9 |
Allows access to all positioner functions. In addition, it is the only level allowed to |
|
login to the administration program. The administrator has an account of privilege |
|
level 9. There must be at least one user of privilege level 9. |

The ValVue program provides a Windows based interface that can operate, configure, calibrate, and diagnose positioners and controllers. ValVue can also communicate with other HART devices at a basic level (using HART Universal Commands) as well. To communicate with a positioner, you need to connect the device to the computer RS-232 serial port through a HART modem, or through an MTL multiplexor and an RS232-485 converter. When there is no connected HART device, ValVue allows you to run offline with a simulated positioner.
ValVue provides an on-line help utility that provides information on how to use functions of the positioner with ValVue. To access the help utility, select the appropriate Help from the Help menu in various ValVue screens. After completing the hardware connections, communication with a positioner can begin.
Always return control of the device to the control system before ending a ValVue communications session. If communications to the positioner are interrupted by a computer system failure, if Windows stops responding, always reboot the computer and return control to the control system before ending the ValVue communication session
To start ValVue
or
When you start ValVue for the first time the registration window launches. ValVue software must be registered to activate the permanent installation. ValVue can be used without registration for 60 days. Registration allows the factory to keep track of all of ValVue users so that we can notify you of any changes or important information about new software features and updates. A registration card is included with the installation CD.
The software package contains a serial number. Keep a record of the serial number in a secure location. Do not discard the registration card. To register your software, you must launch ValVue to obtain an installation ID number, then contact the factory by mail, telephone, email or Fax, and provide your name, company’s name, contact information, the CD-ROM serial number, and the installation ID number from the ValVue login display. Contact information is provided on the registration card that is part of the software package.
Your serial number is located on the ValVue package and on the enclosed sticker. Place the serial number sticker on the detachable card included with the Registration Instruction card and store the card in a secure location. You need the serial number to move ValVue to a different computer.
