Description
DVC6200 digital valve controllers (figures 1‐1 and 1‐2) are communicating, microprocessor‐based
current‐to‐pneumatic instruments. In addition to the normal function of converting an input current signal to a
pneumatic output pressure, the DVC6200 digital valve controller, using the HARTrcommunications protocol, gives
easy access to information critical to process operation. You can gain information from the principal component of the
process, the control valve itself, using the Field Communicator at the valve, or at a field junction box, or by using a
personal computer or operator's console within the control room.

Section 2 Wiring Practices22
Control System Requirements
There are several parameters that should be checked to ensure the control system is compatible with the DVC6200
digital valve controller.
HART Filter
Depending on the control system you are using, a HART filter may be needed to allow HART communication. The
HART filter is a passive device that is inserted in field wiring from the HART loop. The filter is normally installed near the
field wiring terminals of the control system I/O (see figure 2‐1). Its purpose is to effectively isolate the control system
output from modulated HART communication signals and raise the impedance of the control system to allow HART
communication. For more information on the description and use of the HART filter, refer to the appropriate HART
filter instruction manual.
To determine if your system requires a filter contact your Emerson Automation Solutions sales office.
Note
A HART filter is typically NOT required for any of the Emerson Automation Solutions control systems, including PROVOXt, RS3t,
and DeltaVtsystems.

Voltage Available
The voltage available at the DVC6200 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.

Instruction Manual
D103605X012
Wiring Practices
February 2017

As shown in figure 2‐2, the voltage available at the instrument depends upon:
D the control system compliance voltage
D if a filter, wireless THUM adapter, or intrinsic safety barrier is used, and
D the wire type and length.
The control system compliance voltage is the maximum voltage at the control system output terminals at which the
control system can produce maximum loop current.
The voltage available at the instrument may be calculated from the following equation:
Voltage Available = [Control System Compliance Voltage (at maximum current)] - [filter voltage drop (if a HART filter is
used)] - [total cable resistance maximum current] - [barrier resistance x maximum current].
The calculated voltage available should be greater than or equal to 10 volts DC.
Table 2‐1 lists the resistance of some typical cables.
The following example shows how to calculate the voltage available for a HoneywelltTDC2000 control system with a
HF340 HART filter, and 1000 feet of Beldent9501 cable:
Voltage available = [18.5 volts (at 21.05 mA)] - [2.3 volts] - [48 ohms 0.02105 amps]
Voltage available = [18.5] - [2.3] - [1.01]
Voltage available = 15.19 volts
Figure 2‐2. 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 3.

Auxiliary Terminal Wiring Length Guidelines
The Auxiliary Input Terminals of a DVC6200 with instrument level ODV can be used with a locally‐mounted switch for
initiating a partial stroke test. Some applications require that the switch be installed remotely from the DVC6200.
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 5V, 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.
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)

Instruction Manual
D103605X012
Wiring Practices
February 2017
13
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 Automation Solutions sales office for specific
information relating to your control system.

Commissioning the Digital Valve Controller for use with the HART
Tri‐Loop Signal Converter
To prepare the digital valve controller for use with a 333 HART Tri‐Loop, you must configure the digital valve controller
to burst mode, and select Burst Command 3. In burst mode, the digital valve controller provides digital information to
the HART Tri‐Loop HART‐to‐Analog Signal Converter. The HART Tri‐Loop converts the digital information to a 4 to 20
mA analog signal. Each burst message contains the latest value of the primary (analog input), secondary (travel
target), tertiary (configured output pressure), and quaternary (travel) variables.
To commission a DVC6200 for use with a HART Tri‐Loop, perform the following procedures.
Note
The DVC6200 must be in HART 5 compatibility mode to use burst communications.

Mode and Protection
Field Communicator Configure > Manual Setup > Mode and Protection (2‐2‐1)
Instrument Mode
There are two instrument modes for the DVC6200; In Service or Out of Service. In Service is the normal operating
mode such that the instrument follows the 420 mA 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: 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.

Instruction Manual
D103605X012
Configuration
February 2017
17
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.
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, 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.
Note
Auxiliary Terminal Action is only available for instrument level ODV.
Analog Input Range
D Input Range Hi—Permits setting the Input Range High value. Input Range High should correspond to Travel Range
High, if the Zero Power Condition is configured as closed. If the Zero Power Condition is configured as open, Input
Range High corresponds to Travel Range Low. See figure 3‐1.

Instruction Manual
D103605X012
Configuration

Travel/Pressure Select
This defines the operating mode of the instrument as well as the behavior of the instrument should the travel sensor
fail. There are four choices.
D Travel Control—The instrument is controlling to a target travel. Fallback is not enabled.
D Pressure Control—The instrument is controlling to a target pressure. Fallback is not enabled.
D Fallback-Sensor Failure—The instrument will fallback to pressure control if a travel sensor failure is detected.

Instruction Manual
D103605X012
Configuration
February 2017

D Fallback-Sensor/Tvl Deviation—The instrument will fallback to pressure control if a travel sensor failure is detected,
or if the Tvl Dev Press Fallback setting is exceeded for more than the Tvl Dev Press Fallback Time.
Note
Travel / Pressure Select must be set to Travel for double‐acting actuators
Cutoffs and Limits
D Hi Limit/Cutoff Select—When the Hi Cutoff/Limit Select is configured for Cutoff, the Travel Target is set to 123%
when the Travel exceeds the Hi Cutoff Point. When the Hi Cutoff/Limit Select is configured for Limit, the Travel
Target will not exceed the Hi Limit Point.
D Hi Limit/Cutoff Point—This is the point within the calibrated travel range above which the Limit or Cutoff is in effect.
When using cutoffs, a Cutoff Hi of 99.5% is recommended to ensure valve goes fully open. The Hi Cutoff/Limit is
deactivated by setting it to 125%.
D Lo Limit/Cutoff Select—When the Lo Cutoff/Limit Select is configured for Cutoff, the Travel Target is set to 23%
when the Travel is below the Lo Cutoff Point. When the Hi Cutoff/Limit Select is configured for Limit, the Travel
Target will not fall below the Lo Limit Point.
D Lo Limit/Cutoff Point—This is the point within the calibrated travel range below which the Limit or Cutoff is in effect.
When using cutoffs, a Cutoff Lo of 0.5% is recommended to help ensure maximum shutoff seat loading. The Lo
Limit/Cutoff is deactivated by setting it to 25%.
End Point Pressure Control (EPPC)
Note
End Point Pressure Control is available for instrument level ODV.
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.

Instruction Manual
D103605X012
Configuration
February 2017
20
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.
Pressure Control
D Pressure Range High—The high end of output pressure range. Enter the pressure that corresponds with 100% valve
travel when Zero Power Condition is closed, or 0% valve travel when Zero Power Condition is open. This pressure
must be greater than the Pressure Range Lo.
D Pressure Range Lo—The low end of the output pressure range. Enter the pressure that corresponds to 0% valve
travel when Zero Power Condition is closed, or 100% valve travel when Zero Power Condition is open. This pressure
must be less than the Pressure Range Hi.
Pressure Fallback
Note
Pressure Fallback is available for instrument level AD, PD, ODV.
D Tvl Dev Press Fallback—When the difference between the travel target and the actual travel exceeds this value for
more than the Tvl Dev Press Fallback Time, the instrument will disregard the travel feedback and control based on
output pressure.
D Tvl Dev Press Fallback Time—This is the time, in seconds, that the travel target and the actual travel must be
exceeded before the instrument falls back into pressure control.
D Fallback Recovery—If the instrument has fallen into pressure control and the feedback problem is resolved, recovery
to travel control can occur automatically or with manual intervention. To return to travel control when Manual
Recovery is selected, change the Fallback Recovery to Auto Recovery, and then back to Manual Recovery (if
desired).
