Registering ValVue ESD
When you start ValVue ESD for the first time the registration window launches. ValVue ESD
software must be registered to activate the permanent installation. ValVue ESD can be used
without registration for 60 days. Registration allows the factory to keep track of all of ValVue
ESD 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 the 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 ESD 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 ESD 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 ESD
to a different computer.
The Software Registration Center provides you with software keys that you enter the next
time you run the program. Contact the factory for a new software key if you are moving
ValVue ESD to a different computer or, if you do not have a serial number.
To register ValVue ESD:
1. Start ValVue ESD either by clicking on the desktop icon or using the Start programs selection. When you start ValVue ESD, the registration window appears (Figure 29).

Using a Device List File The device list can be saved in a file to eliminate rescanning each
time Connect is selected. This is useful only with multiplexors. Unless
Load Device List from Database on Startup is selected as an option,
the device addresses file used is temporary and is rescanned each
time the program is restarted. If selected, you can select a file to
save the device list. This file is read when the program is started and
the list displayed. Select New File to change the file or create a new
one.
Com Port Selection Select the COM Port on your PC that is connected to the HART
modem. If you’re not sure about the COM port the modem is connected to, go to the Windows Device Manager to locate the Com
Port number assigned to the PC.
Multidrop When more than one device is connected to a loop or if polling
addresses other than 0 have been assigned to devices, select Allow
Multidrop. ValVue ESD supports HART devices, including SVI and SVI
II, SVI II ESDs, and HDLTs with non-zero polling addresses and supports multiple SVI and SVI II and SVI II ESDs on the same loop for split
ranging, for example. If the box is unchecked, ValVue ESD looks for
devices only at polling address 0. When in multidrop mode, even if a
device is found at polling address 0, ValVue ESD polls addresses up to
15.
Master Mode ValVue ESD can send commands to a HART device as a primary mas-
ter or as a secondary master. HART is a Master-Slave communication
protocol, where the slave (field device) replies to commands sent by
the master. The HART protocol allows for a device to communicate
simultaneously with two masters, as long as they are different Masters. One being a Primary Master and the other being a Secondary
Master. A Primary Master is defined as a host (or interface) which is
connected permanently with a slave, such as a control system. A
Secondary Master is a host (or interface) connected temporarily to
the slave (like a handheld or laptop computer) and that is not part of
the control system.
When used with a multiplexor, operation is allowed when a second
HART master, such as a DCS system, is communicating. The ValVue
ESD program must be configured to match the configuration of the
multiplexor. If the multiplexor is a primary master, ValVue ESD must
also be configured to be a primary master.

Mux Option The Use Multiplexor option allows you to select multiplexor opera-
tion. If the Use Multiplexor control is checked then the MUX Setup,
and MUX reset controls are added to the Connected Devices page
context (right click) menu.
Check Use Multiplexor and set a baud rate that is equal to
the baud rate set on the multiplexor hardware with DIP

NOTE Settings in the Options page for ValVue ESD must agree with the
MUX configuration settings that are also shown. The Mux
configuration can have originated in other applications.
NOTE Do not check Use Multiplexor unless ValVue ESD is connected to
Multiplexor hardware.
The MTL multiplexor supports baud rates of 9600, 19200, and
38400. You must set a baud rate that matches the
configuration of the hardware.
After the options are selected, select OK to accept the
changes and exit to Connected Devices page or select

Multiplexor Setup and Operation
ValVue ESD supports the MTL HART multiplexor allows you to monitor and operate many SVI II
ESD PST controllers from a single computer.
The MTL 4840 HART maintenance system is a widely used multiplexor for communicating with
HART instruments. Connected to a computer serial port with an RS232/RS485 converter, the
multiplexor is capable of supporting up to 31 nodes, each with the capability of supporting up
to 16 sub nodes. Each sub node can control 16 loops. Therefore, the multiplexor provides the
potential to communicate with a maximum of 7936 HART loops, i.e., 31 (nodes) x 16 (sub
nodes) x 16 (loops) using one computer interface. Additionally, the multiplexor supports the
multidrop connection of HART devices on a single loop. Therefore, using the multidrop feature
it is possible to expended capacity of a system beyond 7936 HART devices.
For more information regarding the MTL multiplexor, refer to the manufacturer’s documents.
Using the multiplexor capability of ValVue ESD and the MTL multiplexor, monitoring and
communicating with many SVI’s and other HART devices is possible. After start-up and login to
the ValVue ESD program, the Connected Devices screen appears and provides options to
setup the multiplexor.
Use of the optional multiplexor ValVue ESD software requires an additional license and
registration. Contact your local representative for licensing assistance. A 60 day trial of the
multiplexor option is provided without licensing.
Selecting Mux Setup
To select the Mux Setup function:
1. Check Use Multiplexor and select the baud rate and node in the ValVue ESD Set Options (see “Mux Option” on page 61) return to the Connected Devices page.
2. Right-click on the Connected Devices page and select Mux Setup (Figure 58).

the multiplexor. Use both the Options setup and Mux setup
screens to check and compare the selection. Both can be primary
or both can be secondary.
2. Check the Use Multiplexor box on the Options page.
3. Select which communication serial port the computer uses for the HART communication channel. Once selected in the Options dialog, this selection overrides any selection on the command line that starts the program.
4. Select the baud rate to match that set with dip switches on the multiplexor hardware.
The device list is automatically saved to the device database. This file is read whenever the
program is started and the saved device list appears. This is particularly useful for a
multiplexor connected to many devices and saves the time required to re-scan.
Tag This is a user-entered value of up to 7 characters, used to identify the
MTL multiplexor node in the system. The tag appears in Device List
box in Connected Devices page.
Descriptor A description with up to 15 characters for the MTL multiplexor node.
Retry Count The number of times the multiplexor retries sending a command to a
Hart device before returning with an error. The valid range for this
number is 0 to 5. The recommended number is ‘3’.
64 | =GE Oil & Gas
© 2014 General Electric Company. All rights reserved.
Preamble Count A device using the HART protocol sends a short string of characters
at the beginning of each communication to wake up the other
device. This string is called a preamble. The number of preambles
prefixed to each Hart command sent to a device varies from device
to device. The valid range is 2 to 20. Recommended values for this
parameter are 3 to 5 when using the Mux. ValVue ESD allows for a
user-configured Mux preamble count.
Scan Age Time The length of time in seconds that scan data remains valid. An error
is returned when the scan data requested is older than the time
when the data was last updated. This parameter set s this time for
other applications that use the multiplexor. ValVue ESD does not
support the scanning feature.
Multiplexor Master Mode ValVue ESD Options must be set to use the same mode as the multi-
plexor. Other applications that use the multiplexor or other HART
masters can require a special selection. See the multiplexor documentation for further information.
Search Method When building a device list, the multiplexor can use one of three
methods:
Polling Address 0 only - This method looks only at polling
address 0 for each loop. Any devices on a loop with a
non-zero polling address are not found.
Mux Reset
One Device - For each loop, all polling addresses are searched
until a device is found. The multiplexor does not continue the
search on a loop after the first device is found.
Multidrop - For each loop, polling address 0 is checked. If a
device is found, no further search is performed on that loop. If
no device is found at polling address 0, polling addresses 1 15 are searched and any devices found are added to the
device list.
Select Mux Reset to issue a reset command to a node of the multiplexor. This function is
enabled and used only in the multiplexor configuration of the program. You are prompted for
the node that is to be reset. When reset, the multiplexor node re-scans all of the devices
connected to it and depending on the multiplexor options set for the multiplexor, can take
some time to complete. If hardware has been added to the Mux or connected to different Mux
channels a rescan must be performed before the ValVue ESD re-scan can be used.
The Mux Reset is necessary when adding or removing HART devices on a Mux network. This
function updates the Mux’s Look Up Table utilized by ValVue ESD to map devices.

Masoneilan Valves ValVue ESD Instruction Manual =| 65
Scan Option
The MTL multiplexor has the capability to continually scan the connected Hart devices to
report the results. ValVue ESD does not use this feature, but the option is provided to configure
the multiplexor as needed by other applications.
The multiplexor can be used to request information about HART devices. Select the MUX Reset
popup menu function to issue a reset command to a node of the multiplexor. You are
prompted for the node that is to be reset. When it is reset, the multiplexor node re-scans all of
the devices connected to the node (this hardware rescan is different from the re-scan done by
ValVue ESD from the Re-scan popup menu function). Depending upon the options set for the
multiplexor, this can take a while to complete. No communication can be done with devices on
the selected node until the reset is completed. After the reset is finished, select Re-scan popup
menu function to build a device list.
A device list is arranged in the order found on the multiplexor’s channels. This list can be very
long if there are many connected devices. To find a device by its tag, select the Find by Tag
button to open a text entry dialog. Enter a tag name to allow ValVue ESD to search the device
list for a device with a matching tag. If found, the device is selected and the window scrolled
so that its line is visible.
NOTE The Mux hardware re-scan is different from the re-scan performed
by ValVue ESD from the Re-scan button. No communication
between ValVue ESD and any device takes place on the node until
the reset is completed. This can take several minutes, depending
on MUX loading.
Selecting the Re-scan popup menu function causes ValVue ESD to build a new device list. All
nodes are checked. If there are a large number of devices connected to the multiplexor, this
function can take some time to complete. When the re-scan is completed, you can optionally
save the device list to a file so that rescanning is not necessary every time ValVue ESD is
started.

Configuring Burst Mode
The Burst Mode is a mode where the HART device continuously sends out data without being
polled for such data, by a Master. This mode is useful only for devices that are passive (i.e. not
a HART master), such as a HART to Analog converter (SPA from Moore Industries, Tri-Loop by
Rosemount). It is not necessary to set the burst mode to allow communications with a control
system since the control system is a master capable of polling the device. Turning on Burst
mode in cases where it is not required will affect the communication bandwidth.
Table 4 provides a summary of the data returned from the Burst mode (HART Command #3
equivalent to Process-Vars-Current).

ESDVue's Work Environment
NOTE
Overview
After you have selected the connected device ValVue ESD launches and the device appears in
the first ESDVue Monitor screen (Figure 71). ESDVue is a series of tabs, with each tab named
according to their function.
ValVue ESD is the main interface for connected devices. Once a connected
device is selected and launched the software tool for a device is called ESDVue.

Working in ESDVue
ESDVue is set up as a typical Windows program, with tabs, menus, dialogs, windows and
toolbars. After logging into ValVue ESD the currently selected device appears in ESDVue’s
Monitor screen. You can either perform operations on the Monitor screen or select another tab
to display another ESDVue screen.
Toolbar
The toolbar at the top of every ESDVue screen has two menu items: Tools and Help.
Modes of Operation
The SVI II ESD has three modes of operation:
“Normal Operation”
“Manual Operation ”
“Setup”
Normal Operation
In Normal mode, the SVI II ESD responds to the input signal and positions the ESD valve
accordingly.
In configurations where the safety function is triggered by current, when the input signal
current:
Falls below 5.6mA, the SVI II ESD de-energizes the ESD valve.
Rises above 14mA, the SVI II ESD energizes the ESD valve.
In configurations where the safety function is triggered by a discrete 0 - 24Vdc signal, when
the input signal voltage falls:
Falls below 3V, the SVI II ESD de-energizes the ESD valve.
Rises above 18V, the SVI II ESD energizes the ESD valve.
Manual Operation
In Manual mode, the valve does not respond to the input signal. Instead it remains stable in
one position, which is the position that the valve was in when manual mode was entered or a
new position selected using the HART or pushbutton interface. However, the Shutdown
function is activated if the signal is less than 5.6 mA (ASD) or 3 Vdc (A/DSD and DSD).
Setup
In the Setup mode, you can set calibration and configuration parameters. Additionally, you
can run response time tests, step response tests, and valve signatures.

Device Trip
However, if a process was running at the onset of the trip condition, the valve may also go to
where it was before the process started, or stay at the de-energized stop. This is not true for
Normal mode.
In failsafe and low power the valve must stay at the de-energized stop.
Change Mode
Use the Change Mode button on all ESDVue screens to change the operating SVI II ESD mode.
When selected, you can change the SVI II ESD mode to any of three operating modes:
NOTE If the device is tripped, in Normal, Manual and Setup modes the
setpoint and the control mode are not affected by a device trip,
and as soon as the trip condition is removed (which includes Latch
if configured) the valve goes back to the state prior to the trip.
Normal - In this mode the SVI II ESD responds to the input signal and positions the
valve accordingly (indicator green).
Manual - in this mode the valve does not respond to the input signal. Instead it remains
stable in one position which is the position that the valve was in when manual mode
was entered or a new position selected by you (by changing the setpoint in the Monitor
screen).
Setup - In this mode you can set calibration and configuration parameters.
Additionally, you can run response time tests, step response tests, and PST controller
signatures (indicator yellow).
Whenever you leave the Normal mode, a warning appears (Figure 72).
1. Click OK to continue the mode change.
Figure 72 Leaving Normal Mode Warning
Whenever you return to Normal mode, a warning appears (Figure 73).
2. Click OK to continue the mode change.

PST Controller Characteristics
The PST controller Characteristics displayed on the Monitor screen consist of:
Signal (mA) - Indicates the input analog signal expressed in mA.
Position (%) - Indicates the actual valve position in % of valve opening. 0% is always
closed and 100% is open.
Pressure (pressure units) - The SVI II ESD continuously monitors the actuator pressure.
It is displayed according to the configured units (psi, bar, or kpa).
I/P Current - the current in mA generated by the I/P.
Pressure1 (pressure units) - Actuator pressure when Single Acting.
Pressure2 (pressure units) - Has no value when Single Acting.
Supply (pressure units) - Pressure generated by the air supply.
Pilot Pres (pressure units) - pressure generated by the I/P.
Pressure, Pressure1 and Pressure2
If your unit is single acting, Pressure and Pressure1 both have the same value, the actuator
pressure.
Position Indicator
The Position Indicator shows the valve position graphically. The indicator consists of three
parts:
The upper part contains an indicator showing the value of the input signal. In Normal
The center green bar shows the valve position where % = Valve Open. The numerical
The lower part contains an indicator (thumb) showing the valve setpoint. In operating

Position
Setpoint
Indicates the actual valve position in % of valve opening. 0% is always closed and 100% is
open. Because the travel of a valve may exceed its nominal travel, positions greater than
100% are possible.
In NORMAL mode, the setpoint is the target position based on the characterized input. In
MANUAL mode, it is the target position to which the SVI II ESD is controlling the valve. Change
the manual setpoint by dragging the lower thumb on the position indicator.
