The FIELDVUE DVC6200 SIS Digital Valve Controller is a core component of the PlantWeb™ digital
plant architecture. The digital valve controller powers PlantWeb by capturing and delivering valve
diagnostic data. Coupled with ValveLink™ software, the DVC6200 SIS 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.

DVC6200 SIS digital valve controllers (figure 1‐1) are HART communicating, microprocessorbased
currenttopneumatic instruments. The DVC6200 SIS digital valve controller has three fundamental functions.
1. Modulate a pneumatic output to a valve actuator in response to a demand signal from a logic solver to move the
valve to a safe state.
2. Perform periodic tests on a valve assembly to exercise the mechanical components that are prone to sticking.
3. Continuously monitor the health of the valve and report alerts.

Logic Solver or Control System Requirements
There are several parameters that should be checked to ensure the logic solver or control system is compatible with
the DVC6200 SIS digital valve controller.
HART Filter / Line Conditioner
Depending on the logic solver or control system and operational mode of the DVC6200 SIS digital valve controller, a
line conditioner or HART filter may be required.

The HF340 HART filter and LC340 Line Conditioner are passive devices that are inserted in the field wiring of the HART
loop. A filter or line conditioner is normally installed near the field wiring terminals of the system I/O (see figure 2‐1).
Its purpose is to effectively isolate the system output from modulated HART communication signals and raise the
impedance of the system to allow HART communication. For more information, refer to the HF340 HART filter
(D102796X012) or LC340 Line Conditioner (D102797X012) instruction manual.
Voltage Available
The voltage available at the DVC6200 SIS digital valve controller must be at least 10 VDC. The voltage available at the
instrument is not the actual voltage measured at the instrument when the instrument is connected. The voltage
measured at the instrument is limited by the instrument and is typically less than the voltage available.
As shown in figure 2‐1, the voltage available at the instrument depends upon:
D The logic solver or control system compliance voltage
D if a line conditioner filter or intrinsic safety barrier is used, and
D the wire type and length.
The compliance voltage is the maximum voltage at the logic solver or control system output terminals at which the
system can produce maximum loop current.
The voltage available at the instrument may be calculated from the following equation:
Voltage Available = [Compliance Voltage (at maximum current)] - [line conditioner/filter voltage drop] - [total cable
resistance maximum current] - [barrier resistance x maximum current].
The calculated voltage available should be greater than or equal to 10 volts DC.

Figure 2‐1. Determining Voltage Available at the Instrument
The voltage available at the instrument is not the voltage measured at the instrument terminals. Once the instrument is
connected, the instrument limits the measured voltage to approximately 8.0 to 9.5 volts.
Obtain filter voltage drop. The measured drop will be different than this value. The measured filter voltage drop
depends upon control system output voltage, the intrinsic safety barrier (if used), and the instrument. See note 2.

Calculate Voltage Available at the Instrument as follows:
Compliance Voltage
If the compliance voltage of the logic solver or control system is not known, perform the following compliance voltage
test.

2. Set the system to provide maximum output current.
3. Increase the resistance of the 1 kWpotentiometer, shown in figure 2‐2, until the current observed on the
milliammeter begins to drop quickly.
4. Record the voltage shown on the voltmeter. This is the compliance voltage.
For specific parameter information relating to your control system, contact your Emerson Process Management sales
office.
Maximum Cable Capacitance
The maximum cable length for HART communication is limited by the characteristic capacitance of the cable.
Maximum length due to capacitance can be calculated using the following formulas:
Length(ft) = [160,000 - Cmaster(pF)] [Ccable(pF/ft)]
Length(m) = [160,000 - Cmaster(pF)] [Ccable(pF/m)]
where:
160,000 = a constant derived for FIELDVUE instruments to ensure that the HART network RC time constant will be no
greater than 65 μs (per the HART specification).
Cmaster = the capacitance of the control system or HART filter
Ccable = the capacitance of the cable used (see table 2‐1)
The following example shows how to calculate the cable length for a FoxborotI/A control system (1988) with a Cmaster
of 50, 000 pF and a Belden 9501 cable with characteristic capacitance of 50pF/ft.
Length(ft) = [160,000 - 50,000pF] [50pF/ft]
Length = 2200 ft.
The HART communication cable length is limited by the cable characteristic capacitance. To increase cable length,
select a wire with lower capacitance per foot. Contact your Emerson Process Management sales office for specific
information relating to your control system.

Auxiliary Terminal Wiring Length Guidelines
The Auxiliary Input Terminals of a DVC6200 SIS can be used with an LCP100 local control panel or a locally‐mounted
switch for initiating a partial stroke test. Some applications require that the switch or local control panel be installed
remotely from the DVC6200 SIS.
The length for wiring connected to the Auxiliary Input Terminals is limited by capacitance. For proper operation of the
Auxiliary Input Terminals capacitance should not exceed 100,000 pF. As with all control signal wiring, good wiring
practices should be observed to minimize adverse effect of electrical noise on the Aux Switch function.
Example Calculation: Capacitance per foot or per meter is required to calculate the length of wire that may be
connected to the Aux switch input. The wire should not exceed the capacitance limit of 100,000 pF. Typically the wire
manufacturer supplies a data sheet which provides all of the electrical properties of the wire. The pertinent parameter
is the highest possible capacitance. If shielded wire is used, the appropriate number is the “Conductor to Other
Conductor & Shield” value.
Example — 18AWG Unshielded Audio, Control and Instrumentation Cable
Manufacturer's specifications include:
Nom. Capacitance Conductor to Conductor @ 1 KHz: 26 pF/ft
Nom. Conductor DC Resistance @ 20 Deg. C: 5.96 Ohms/1000 ft
Max. Operating Voltage - UL 200 V RMS (PLTC, CMG),150 V RMS (ITC)
Allowable Length with this cable = 100,000pF /(26pF/ft) =3846 ft
Example — 18AWG Shielded Audio, Control and Instrumentation Cable
Manufacturer's specifications include:
Nom. Characteristic Impedance: 29 Ohms
Nom. Inductance: .15 μH/ft
Nom. Capacitance Conductor to Conductor @ 1 KHz: 51 pF/ft
Nom. Cap. Cond. to other Cond. & Shield @ 1 KHz 97 pF/ft
Allowable Length with this cable = 100,000pF /(97pF/ft) = 1030 ft
The AUX switch input passes less than 1 mA through the switch contacts, and uses less than 5 V, therefore, neither the
resistance nor the voltage rating of the cable are critical. Ensure that switch contact corrosion is prevented. It is
generally advisable that the switch have gold‐plated or sealed contacts.

Guided Setup
Field Communicator Configure > Guided Setup (2‐1)
To quickly setup the instrument, the following procedures will guide you through the process.
D Device Setup—This procedure is used to configure actuator and valve information, calibrate the valve assembly, and
assign the tuning set for the valve assembly.
D Performance Tuner—This procedure executes a simple step response test and then calculates a recommended set of
gain values based on the response of the control valve. See page 22 for additional information.
Manual Setup33
Manual Setup allows you to configure the digital valve controller to your application. Table 3‐1 lists the default settings
for a standard factory configuration. You can adjust actuator response, set the various modes, alerts, ranges, travel
cutoffs and limits. You can also restart the instrument and set the protection.
Refer to table 3‐2 for possible configurations for a digital valve controller operated by a 4‐20 mA input current

Mode and Protection
Field Communicator Configure > Manual Setup > Mode and Protection (2‐2‐1)
Instrument Mode
There are two instrument modes for the DVC6200 SIS; In Service or Out of Service. In Service is the normal operating
mode such that the instrument follows the 420 mA or 24 VDC control signal. Out of Service is required in some cases
to modify configuration parameters or to run diagnostics.
Note
Some changes that require the instrument to be taken Out Of Service will not take effect until the instrument is placed back In
Service or the instrument is restarted.
Write Protection
There are two Write Protection modes for the DVC6200 SIS: Not Protected or Protected. Protected prevents
configuration and calibration changes to the instrument. The default setting is Not Protected. Write Protection can be
changed to Protected remotely. However, to change Write Protection to Not Protected, you must have physical access
to the instrument. The procedure will require you to press a button ( ) on the terminal box as a security measure.
Instrument
Field Communicator Configure > Manual Setup > Instrument (2‐2‐2)
Follow the prompts on the Field Communicator display to configure the following Instrument parameters:
Identification
D HART Tag—A tag name up to 8 characters is available for the instrument. The HART tag is the easiest way to
distinguish between instruments in a multi‐instrument environment. Use the HART tag to label instruments
electronically according to the requirements of your application. The tag you assign is automatically displayed
when the Field Communicator establishes contact with the digital valve controller at power‐up.
D HART Long Tag (HART Universal Revision 7 only)—A tag name up to 32 characters is available for the instrument.
D Description—Enter a description for the application with up to 16 characters. The description provides a longer
user‐defined electronic label to assist with more specific instrument identification than is available with the HART
tag.
D Message—Enter any message with up to 32 characters. Message provides the most specific user‐defined means for
identifying individual instruments in multi‐instrument environments.
D Polling Address—If the digital valve controller is used in point‐to‐point operation, the Polling Address is 0. When
several devices are connected in the same loop, such as for split ranging, each device must be assigned a unique
polling address. The Polling Address is set to a value between 0 and 63 for HART 7 and 0 and 15 for HART 5. To
change the polling address the instrument must be Out Of Service.

Instruction Manual
D103557X012
Configuration
April 2016
18
For the Field Communicator to be able to communicate with a device whose polling address is not 0, it must be
configured to automatically search for all or specific connected devices.
Serial Numbers
D Instrument Serial Number—Enter the serial number on the instrument nameplate, up to 12 characters.
D Valve Serial Number—Enter the serial number for the valve in the application with up to 12 characters.
Units
D Pressure Units—Defines the output and supply pressure units in either psi, bar, kPa, or kg/cm2.
D Temperature Units—Degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. The temperature measured is from a sensor mounted on the
digital valve controller's printed wiring board.
D Analog Input Units—Permits defining the Analog Input Units in mA or percent of 4-20 mA range.
Terminal Box
D Calibration (CAL) Button—This button is near the wiring terminals in the terminal box and provides a quick means to
autocalibrate the instrument. The button must be pressed for 3 to 10 seconds. Autocalibration will move the valve
through the full range of travel whether the Instrument Mode is In Service or Out of Service. However, if the Write
Protection is Protected, this button will not be active. To abort, press the button again for 1 second. The calibration
button is disabled by default.
D Auxiliary Terminal Action—These wire terminals can be configured to initiate a partial stroke test upon detection of
a short across the (+) and (-) terminals. The terminals must be shorted for 3 to 10 seconds. Alternatively, the
auxiliary terminals can be configured to support the local control panel.
Spec Sheet
The Spec Sheet provides a means to store the entire control valve specifications on board the DVC6200 SIS.
Edit Instrument Time
Permits setting the instrument clock. When alerts are stored in the alert record, the record includes the time and date.
The instrument clock uses a 24‐hour format.

Travel/Pressure Control
Field Communicator Configure > Manual Setup > Travel/Pressure Control (2‐2-3)
End Point Pressure Control (EPPC)
D EPPC Enable—Select Yes or No. End Point Pressure Control allows the digital valve controller to pull back from
saturation of the pneumatic output after reaching the travel extreme. Rather than having the instrument provide
full supply pressure (saturation) continuously at the travel extreme, the digital valve controller switches to an End
Point Pressure Control where the output pressure (pressure controller set point) to the actuator is maintained at a
certain value. This value is configured through the Upper Operating Pressure feature. Because the digital valve
controller is constantly in control and not allowed to reach a dormant or saturated state, it is constantly testing its
own pneumatic system. If there is an output pressure deviation, for example, the instrument will issue an alert. To
ensure there is an alert when an output pressure deviation occurs, setup the alert as described under Pressure
Deviation Alert.
D EPPC Set Point—Used in conjunction with End Point Pressure Control, End Point Pressure Control Set Point allows
the user to select a pressure to be delivered by the instrument at the travel extreme. For a fail‐closed valve, this
pressure must be sufficient to maintain the fully open position. For a fail‐open valve, this pressure (which is
automatically set to supply pressure) must be sufficient to fully close the valve and maintain its rated shutoff
classification. For double‐acting spring return actuators, this is the differential pressure required to either maintain
the fully open or fully closed position, depending on the valve and actuator configuration. For a double‐acting
actuator without springs with a fail‐close valve, this is 95% of the supply pressure. If the valve is fail‐open, the upper
operating pressure for all actuator is set to the supply pressure.
D EPPC Saturation Time—End Point Pressure Control Saturation Time is the time the digital valve controller stays in
hard cutoff before switching to pressure control. Default is 45 seconds.
Characterization
D Input Characterization
Input Characterization defines the relationship between the travel target and ranged set point. Ranged set point is the
input to the characterization function. If the zero power condition equals closed, then a set point of 0% corresponds to
a ranged input of 0%. If the zero power condition equals open, a set point of 0% corresponds to a ranged input of 100%.
Travel target is the output from the characterization function.
To select an input characterization, select Input Characterization from the Characterization menu. You can select from
the three fixed input characteristics shown in figure 3‐1 or you can select a custom characteristic. Figure 3‐1 shows the
relationship between the travel target and ranged set point for the fixed input characteristics, assuming the Zero
Power Condition is configured as closed.
You can specify 21 points on a custom characteristic curve. Each point defines a travel target, in % of ranged travel, for
a corresponding set point, in % of ranged set point. Set point values range from -6.25% to 106.25%. Before
modification, the custom characteristic is linear.
D Custom Characterization
To define a custom input character, from the Characterization menu select Custom Characterization. Select the point
you wish to define (1 to 21), then enter the desired set point value. Press Enter then enter the desired travel target for
the corresponding set point. When finished, select point 0 to return to the Characterization menu.
With input characterization you can modify the overall characteristic of the valve and instrument combination.
Selecting an equal percentage, quick opening, or custom (other than the default of linear) input characteristic

modifies the overall valve and instrument characteristic. However, if you select the linear input characteristic, the
overall valve and instrument characteristic is the characteristic of the valve, which is determined by the valve trim (i.e.,
the plug or cage).
