THE FIELDVUE DVC2000 DIGITAL VALVE CONTROLLER IS A CORE COMPONENT OF THE PLANTWEBt
DIGITAL PLANT ARCHITECTURE. THE DIGITAL VALVE CONTROLLER POWERS PLANTWEB BY
CAPTURING AND DELIVERING VALVE DIAGNOSTIC DATA. COUPLED WITH VALVELINKtSOFTWARE,
THE DVC2000 PROVIDES USERS WITH AN ACCURATE PICTURE OF VALVE PERFORMANCE, INCLUDING
ACTUAL STEM POSITION, INSTRUMENT INPUT SIGNAL AND PNEUMATIC PRESSURE TO THE
ACTUATOR. USING THIS INFORMATION, THE DIGITAL VALVE CONTROLLER DIAGNOSES NOT ONLY
ITSELF, BUT ALSO THE VALVE AND ACTUATOR TO WHICH IT IS MOUNTED.

The DVC2000 digital valve controller is a
communicating, microprocessor-based current-to-
pneumatic valve positioner (see figure 1-1). It is
designed to replace standard pneumatic and
electro-pneumatic valve positioners.
In addition to the traditional function of converting an
input current signal (4-20 mA) to a pneumatic output
pressure, the DVC2000 digital valve controller
communicates via a local display panel and/or via the
HARTprotocol. An option is available which
provides isolated circuitry for two (2) integrated limit
switches (for open/close valve indication) and a valve
position transmitter (for separate valve position
feedback).
Terminology
Instrument Level— There are four (4) levels of
functionality available: AC, HC, AD and PD.
AC—This level provides the capability to setup and
calibrate the positioner through the LCD or the 375
Field Communicator.
HC—This level provides additional capability for
advanced configuration of the positioner (such as
travel limits/cutoffs, custom characterization, and
minimum open/closing time). Also, information is
available through the HART protocol for diagnostic
alerts such as travel deviation, cycle count, and
travel accumulation.
AD—This level provides advanced diagnostic
capabilities for performance testing. When used with
ValveLink software, instrument health can be
evaluated with tests such as Valve Signature, step
response and dynamic error band. The software
program provides detailed analysis with graphics.
PD—This level provides automated, non-intrusive
testing of the operating performance of the control
valve assembly. When used with ValveLink
software, tests to isolate component degradation
can be run on the valve assembly without affecting
the process.
Local Interface— The DVC2000 comes standard with
a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and four (4)
pushbuttons. The local interface provides the
capability to setup and calibrate the positioner and
view basic diagnostic messages.
Figure1-1. FIELDVUE DVC2000 Digital Valve Controller
W8755
Magnet Assembly—This is the feedback component
that is mounted directly to the valve stem. It supplies a
magnetic field that is sensed by the digital valve
controller.
Option Boards—The DVC2000 digital valve controller
is available with two (2) limit switches and a valve
position transmitter. The option boards include the
additional circuitry and terminations that are required
to support these output signals.
Pole Piece—Inserted into the DVC2000 housing and
protruding through the back of the instrument is a
two-pronged fork that houses the magnetic sensor for
position feedback.
Scope of Manual
This instruction manual includes specifications,
installation, initial setup, configuration, operation,
troubleshooting, and maintenance information for the
DVC2000 digital valve controller.
This manual describes using the 375 Field
Communicator to setup and calibrate the instrument.
To accomplish these functions, as well as diagnostic

The DVC2000 housing is available in four different
configurations, depending on the actuator mounting
method and threaded connection style. Figure 2-1
shows the available configurations.
The feedback system for the DVC2000 digital valve
controller utilizes a magnetic field for true linkage-less,
non-contacting position measurement. In order to
prevent inadvertent stem movement while the
instrument is in operation, magnetic tools (such as a
magnetic-tipped screwdriver) should not be used.
CAUTION
The magnet material has been
specifically chosen to provide a
long-term stable magnetic field.
However, as with any magnet, care
must be taken when handling the
magnet assembly. Another high
powered magnet placed in close
proximity (less than 25 mm) can cause
permanent damage. Potential sources
of damaging equipment: transformers,
DC motors, stacking magnet arrays,
magnetic tipped screwdrivers.
Note
As a general rule, do not use less than
50% of the magnet array for full travel
measurement. Performance will
decrease gradually as the array is
increasingly subranged.
The linear magnet arrays have a valid
travel range indicated by arrows
molded into the piece. This means that
the hall sensor (on the back of the
DVC2000 housing) has to remain
within this range throughout the entire
valve travel. See figure 2-2.
The linear magnet arrays are
symmetrical. Either end may be up.
There are a variety of mounting brackets and kits that
are used to mount the DVC2000 to different actuators.
However, despite subtle differences in fasteners,
brackets, and connecting linkages, the procedures for

Sliding−Stem (Linear) Actuators
1. Isolate the control valve from the process line
pressure and release pressure from both sides of the
valve body. Shut off all pressure lines to the actuator,
releasing all pressure from the actuator. Use lock-out
procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in
effect while you work on the equipment.
2. Attach the mounting bracket to the actuator.
3. Loosely attach the feedback pieces and magnet
assembly to the valve stem connector. Do not tighten
the fasteners because fine adjustment is required.
CAUTION
Do not install a magnet array that is
shorter than the physical travel of the
actuator. Loss of control will result
from the magnet array moving outside
the range of the index mark in the
feedback slot of the DVC2000 housing.
4. Using the alignment template (supplied with the
mounting kit), position the feedback array inside the
retaining slot.
5. Align the magnet array as follows:

vertically align the magnet array so that the center line
of the alignment template is lined up as close as
possible with the upper extreme of the valid travel
range on the feedback array. See figure 2-4.

the center line of the alignment template is lined up as
close as possible with the upper extreme of the valid

6. Tighten the fasteners and remove the alignment
template.
7. Mount the digital valve controller to the mounting
bracket, using the mounting bolts. See figure 2-6.
8. Check for clearance between the magnet assembly
and the DVC2000 feedback slot. The magnet
assembly should be positioned so that the index mark

9. Install tubing between the actuator casing and the
pneumatic positioner output connection that has the
arrow pointing away from the opening. See figure 2-7.
Mounting on GX Actuators
The DVC2000 digital valve controller mounts directly
on the GX actuator without the need for a mounting
bracket.
However, in applications where the process
temperature exceeds 80C (176F), it may be
necessary to apply an insulating gasket between the

2-8, The heat conducted from the process line will
transmit through the valve body and actuator and
ultimately to the DVC2000. Temperature seen at the

well as the process temperature. Guidelines on when
to apply the high temperature gasket set are shown in
figure 2-9.
