Bench Quick Start
The goal of this procedure is to perform a configuration of the SV FF up to running Find Stops
and Autotune on a bench. This procedure uses BHGE’s ValVue3 software and the SVI* FF DTM.
This procedure consists of the following major steps:
“1. Physical Setup” on page 4
“2. Software Install and Configuration” on page 5
“3. Performing Basic Configuration” on page 11
“4. Optional Find Stops and Open Stops Adjustments” on page 12
“5. Perform Autotune” on page 14
Changing the Application to Normal mode may switch the TB to
MAN or AUTO mode and move the valve. It may be dangerous if
someone is still working with the valve.
Do not use this procedure when connecting the SVI FF to a DCS
host.

1. Physical Setup
1. Buy the National Instruments®(NI) hardware/software. For suggested components as of
May 2014, see “Appendix A: Suggested NI Hardware” on page 15.
2. Install the NI software (NI-FBus Communication Manager minimum) that comes with the
NI hardware and restart the laptop/PC.
3. Prepare the NI hardware by:
a. Install two leads in any spare terminal on hub. Use these leads for connecting to the
SVI FF.
b. Plug the nine-pin, three lead cable into the USB-8486. Connect the leads to the power
hub, any terminal as follows: red lead to +; green to S; black lead to -.
c. Plugging the USB plug into USB-8486 into the laptop/PC.
Figure 1 Bench Setup Equipment
4. Mount the SVI FF on the actuator per instructions in the SVI FF Quick Start Guide.
5. Pipe the SVI FF to the actuator. Ensure:
The airset provides the SVI FF with at least 5 psig more supply pressure than required
by the actuator.
Any other pneumatic accessories are correctly piped without restricting the SVI FF
output(s) to the actuator.
6. Plugging in the hub power supply and ensure the hub LED is green.
You can use existing NI hardware, but Communication Manager
must be Version 4.1.1.49152 or higher.
NOTE

2. Software Install and Configuration
1. Start the NI the FBus Communication Manager.
2. Download the SVI FF DTM and ValVue3 and install. See “Appendix B: Download
Instructions” on page 16 for download site.
Masoneilan recommends using Version 4.1.1.49152 of NI FBus
Communication Manager or higher with ValVue3. If you have an
older version, upgrade via the NI website.
If NI FBus does not start, various tools exist including NI Interface
Configuration Utility and NI Dialog utility, which are useful in
analyzing communications issues. ValVue3 will not work if there is
no FF communication via NI hardware and software. The
following dialogs appear:
Figure 2 NI Communications Failure
Refer to GEA31031 SVI FF Digital Positioner Instruction Manual,
Troubleshooting appendix for basic NI hardware and software
troubleshooting instructions. See NI tools manuals for additional
help.
You must have Windows®administrator rights. Install the
software as an administrator.

3. Sign on to ValVue3 with default values (first time only):
User name admin.
Password ValVue3.
For security purposes, change your password during the first use.
The ValVue and SVI FF DTM license trial period works as follows:
1. Once you download and install the ValVue software, you are
granted a 30 day trial period. During the 30 days, you have access
to all the advanced features of ValVue and the SVI FF DTM.
2. Once the first 30 days expires, you lose the advanced features
of both ValVue and the SVI FF DTM. You then have an additional 30
day period with just standard features, after which you must
register to continue using the product.
We strongly encourage you to register your license with us as
soon as possible. Contact BHGE at [e-mail].
The evaluation periods for both are independent of each other and
commence with first use.
If you have updated ValVue, a dialog appears when you open ValVue3:
Click:
Yes and the library is updated.
No and you need to manually updated from the DTM Library Management dia-
log to access any new functionality.
ValVue version 3.30 or later. For earlier versions continue with manual DTM
Library update.

13. Locate Actual Devices, which shows the address for the SVI FF connected to the H1
network. In this example the SVI FF has 22 as Actual Address (inside red box). The SVI FF
DTM needs to connect to Address 22. Live List section Configured Devices shows the
address used by the SVI FF DTM. See blue box above: SVI FF DTM has Address 17.
14. Locate the Address field (blue box), click in it, change the address to match the LiveList
Address shown in Figure 7 marked by the red box and click Change Address (set this to
match the physical device address, presented in Actual Devices).

4. Optional Find Stops and Open Stops Adjustments
1. Click Calibration > Find Stops and the tab appears (Figure 10). Click Auto Stop Limit and
then Start. If the attempt is:
Successful, skip to “5. Perform Autotune” on page 14.
Not successful, read the Find Stops Log. Note the reasons for failure. If magnets are out
of range, then:
a. Click Find Stops tab.
b. Adjust the magnet noting Raw Sensor Value and picture of magnets.
Figure 10 Find Stops
2. For ATO actuator, perform an Open Stop Adjustment by:
Use mechanical means, if available on the valve, to restrict the
stops. If not available, use the Masoneilan software.
Red line indicates failure.
Yellow line indicates warning.
NOTE

a. Measuring and recording the full mechanical travel.
b. Checking Valspeq specs for required full travel.
c. Calculating the stop adjustment %:
Open Stops Adjustment (OSA) is defined as the ratio between required and full
travel:
OSA = (required travel)*100/(full mechanical travel).
For example: (3.8" required travel)*100/(4.8" full mechanical travel) = 79 % stop
adjustment.
A sample procedure is:
1. Click the Find Stops tab and entering 79% in Open Stop Adjustment field.
2. Click the Download Selected Tabs icon.
3. Note the change in Position %.
4. Click Trend menu and Position Setup, enter 100% in Manual Setpoint field and hit
the Tab key. Red box in Figure 11.
Figure 11 Trend
5. Check the travel scale on actuator to make sure 100% in DTM matches 100% on the
travel scale.
Once all procedures are complete, you must put the SVI FF into
Manual or Auto mode before returning to operations.

5. Perform Autotune
1. Select the Autotune tab.
Figure 12 Autotune Tab
CAUTION Procedures (e.g. Find Stops, Auto Tune, Step Test, Ramp Test,
Signature) should NOT be invoked if the ValVue sequencer is
running.
Do not Auto Tune if manual tuning has been used. Auto Tune
creates new parameters that override the manual tuning
parameters.
Control Tuning must be Custom in Quick Start Configuration Tab
for Autotune to run (Figure 12 on page 14).
For a successful Auto Tune process, the supply pressure must be
at least 5 psi (34.5 kPa) above the spring range.
WARNING This procedure moves the valve.
Before beginning the Auto or Manual range calibration, confirm
that the valve is isolated from the process. This procedure
exhausts and then fills the valve actuator to supply pressure and
therefore strokes the valve over its full range.
Supply pressure MUST NOT exceed the actuator pressure rating
marked on the actuator. Positioner supply pressure MUST BE at
least 5 psi higher than the upper spring range of the valve.

To run the autotune:
1. Ensure the Transducer Block is in manual, using the SVI FF DTM, as per Figure 13.
Figure 13 Transducer Block Mode
2. Select an Auto Tune Aggressiveness, if necessary.
3. Enter an Auto Tune Supply Pressure (standard unit only).
4. Click .
5. When finished, ensure the Transducer block is returned to Auto.
Appendix A: Suggested NI Hardware
Figure 14 Suggested NI Hardware
If the Transducer block is switched to Auto, it then follows the set-
point received from the AO block (if scheduled).
If you fail to switch the Transducer block to Auto, then the valve
will not be in control.
