Section 1 Introduction
Installation, Pneumatic and Electrical Connections, and Initial
Configuration
Refer to the DVC6005 Series Remote Mount quick start guide (D103784X012) for DVC6000 HW2 installation,
connection and initial configuration information. If a copy of this quick start guide is needed contact your Emerson
sales office or visit our website at Fisher.com.

Scope of Manual
This instruction manual is a supplement to the DVC6005 Series Remote Mount quick start guide (D103784X012) that
ships with every instrument. This instruction manual includes product specifications, reference materials, custom
setup information, maintenance procedures, and replacement part details.

This instruction manual describes using an Emerson handheld communicator to set up and calibrate the instrument.
You can also use Fisher ValveLink™ software or ValveLink Mobile software to setup, calibrate, and diagnose the valve
and instrument. For information on using ValveLink software with the instrument refer to ValveLink software help or
documentation.

Do not install, operate, or maintain a DVC6000 HW2 digital valve controller without being fully trained
and qualified in valve, actuator, and accessory installation, operation, and maintenance. To avoid
personal injury or property damage, it is important to carefully read, understand, and follow all of the
contents of this manual, including all safety cautions and warnings. If you have any questions about
these instructions, contact your Emerson sales office before proceeding.

Conventions Used in this Manual

Description
DVC6000 HW2 digital valve controllers (figures 1‐1) 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 DVC6000 HW2 digital valve controller, using the HARTr communications 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 a handheld communicator at the valve, or at a field junction box, or by using a personal
computer or operator's console within the control room.

Using a personal computer and ValveLink software or Figure 1‐1. DVC6000 HW2 Digital Valve Controller
AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager, or a handheld Mounted on Rotary Control Valve/Actuator
communicator, you can perform several operations with
the DVC6000 HW2 digital valve controller. You can
obtain general information concerning software revision
level, messages, tag, descriptor, and date.

Diagnostic information is available to aid you when

troubleshooting. Input and output configuration
parameters can be set, and the digital valve controller can
be calibrated. Refer to table 1‐1 for details on the
capabilities of each diagnostic tier.

Using the HART protocol, information from the field can

be integrated into control systems or be received on a
single loop basis.

The DVC6000 HW2 digital valve controller is designed to

directly replace standard pneumatic and W8373
electro‐pneumatic valve mounted positioners.

Section 2 Wiring Practices22

Control System Requirements
There are several parameters that should be checked to ensure the control system is compatible with the
DVC6000 HW2 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 sales office.

Note
A HART filter is typically NOT required for any of the Emerson control systems, including PROVOX™, RS3™, and DeltaV™ systems.

Voltage Available
The voltage available at the DVC6000 HW2 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.

Wiring Practices Instruction Manual
February 2023 D103785X012

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 Honeywell™ TDC2000 control system with a
HF340 HART filter, and 1000 feet of Belden™ 9501 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

Calculate Voltage Available at the Instrument as follows: Example Calculation

– Filter voltage drop (if used) 1 – 2.3 volts (for HF300 filter)

– Intrinsic safety barrier resistance (if used) x maximum loop current – 2.55 volts (121 ohms x 0.02105 amps)
– Smart Wireless THUM adapter voltage drop (if used) 2
– Total loop cable resistance x maximum loop current – 1.01 volts (48 ohms x 0.02105 amps for
1000 feet of Belden 9501 cable)

= Voltage available at the instrument 3 = 15.19 volts, available—if safety barrier (2.55 volts)
is not used
NOTES:
1Obtain 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.
2The voltage drop of the THUM adapter is linear from 2.25 volts at 3.5 mA to 1.2 volts at 25 mA.

3The 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.

Auxiliary Terminal Wiring Length Guidelines

The Auxiliary Input Terminals of a DVC6000 HW2 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
DVC6000 HW2.

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.

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)

12
Instruction Manual Wiring Practices
D103785X012 February 2023

The following example shows how to calculate the cable length for a Foxboro™ I/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 sales office for specific information relating to
your control system.

Remote Travel Sensor Connections

The DVC6005 HW2 base unit is designed to receive travel information via a remote sensor. The remote can be any of
the following:

D Emerson supplied DVC6015, DVC6025 or DVC6035 remote feedback unit; refer to the DVC6005 Series Remote
Mount Digital Valve Controller quick start guide (D103784X012) that ships with the product,

D An under‐traveled 10 kOhm potentiometer used in conjunction with onboard 30 kOhm resistor, or

D A potentiometer used in conjunction with two fixed resistors (potentiometer travel is the same as actuator travel).

WARNING
Personal injury or property damage, caused by wiring failure, can result if the feedback wiring connecting the base unit
with the remote feedback unit shares a conduit with any other power or signal wiring.
Do not place feedback wiring in the same conduit as other power or signal wiring.

Note
3‐conductor shielded cable, 22 AWG minimum wire size, is required for connection between base unit and feedback unit.
Pneumatic tubing between base unit output connection and actuator has been tested to 91 meters (300 feet) with minimal
pneumatic lag. At 30 meters (100 feet) there was no performance degradation.

Using an External 10 kOhm External Potentiometer as a Remote Travel Sensor

Note
Potentiometer travel must be between 1.3 and 1.6 times greater than the actuator travel. For example: if an actuator has a travel
of 9 inches, then a linear potentiometer must be selected with a rated travel between 11.7 and 14.4 inches. The resistive element
must be tapered from 0 kOhm to 10 kOhm over rated travel of the potentiometer. The actuator will only use 63 to 76 % of the
potentiometer rated travel.

13
Wiring Practices Instruction Manual
February 2023 D103785X012

Note
The digital valve controller must be configured using the SStem/Roller selection on the menu of the appropriate setup device.

The DVC6005 HW2 base unit was designed to work with a 40 kOhm potentiometer for travel feedback. However,
there are linear potentiometers that are readily available with a rated resistance of 10 kOhm. Therefore, the feedback
connections terminal box of the DVC6005 HW2 contains an additional 30 kOhm fixed resistor that may be added to
the circuit. This brings the total resistance up to the required 40 kOhm.
1. Mount the external 10 kOhm potentiometer to the actuator such that the mid‐travel position of the potentiometer
(5 kOhm) corresponds to the mid‐travel position of the actuator. This will leave an equal amount of unused resistive
element on both ends of the travel, which is required by the digital valve controller to function properly.
2. On the base unit, remove the feedback connections terminal box cap.
3. If necessary, install conduit between the potentiometer and the base unit following applicable local and national
electrical codes. Route the 3‐conductor shielded cable between the two units (refer to figure 2‐4).

4. Connect one wire of the 3‐conductor shielded cable between the terminal labeled “30kW” on the base unit and one
end lead of the potentiometer.
5. Connect the second wire of the 3‐conductor shielded cable between the middle lead (wiper) of the 10 kOhm
potentiometer to Terminal 2 on the base unit.
6. Connect the third wire of the 3‐conductor shielded cable between Terminal 3 on the base unit and the other
end‐lead of the 10 kOhm potentiometer.
7. Connect the cable shield or drain wire to the ground screw in the feedback connections terminal box of the base
unit. Do not connect the shield or drain wire to the external potentiometer.
8. Replace and tighten the base unit cover.

Using a Potentiometer with Two Fixed Resistors as a Remote Travel Sensor

Perform the following procedure if a potentiometer is used with the same, or slightly longer travel than the actuator's
travel.

Note
The potentiometer must be capable of resistance close to 0 Ohms.

NOTICE

To prevent damage to the potentiometer, ensure that it is free to travel the entire length of the actuator's travel.

Note
The digital valve controller must be configured using the SStem/Roller selection on the menu of the appropriate setup device.

This procedure uses three resistors connected in series, two fixed resistors and one potentiometer. Three conditions
must be met for the resistor combination to correctly operate the digital valve controller:
D The maximum resistance of the potentiometer [Rpot(max)] must be between 3.9 kOhm and 10 kOhm.
D The resistance of R1 is 4.25 times greater than Rpot(max).
D The resistance of R2 is 4 times less than Rpot(max).

WARNING
To avoid personal injury or property damage from an uncontrolled process ensure that the R1 resistor is properly insulated
before installing it in the terminal box.

1. On the base unit, remove the feedback connections terminal box cap.
2. If necessary, install conduit between the two‐resistor series and the base unit following applicable local and national
electrical codes. Route the 3‐conductor shielded cable between the two units (refer to figure 2‐5).

3. Install the fixed resistor (R1) across the unlabeled bottom Terminal and Terminal #1. The bottom terminal does not
have a screw. The screw on the 30 kOhm terminal can be used. R1 must be properly insulated when installed in the
terminal box to prevent personal injury or property damage.
4. Connect one wire of the 3‐conductor shielded cable between the unlabeled bottom Terminal on the base unit and
an end‐lead of the external potentiometer (Rpot).
5. Connect the second wire of the 3‐conductor shielded cable between the middle lead (wiper) of the external
potentiometer (Rpot) and Terminal 2 on the base unit.
6. Connect the third wire of the 3‐conductor shielded cable between between a lead on fixed resistor (R2) and
terminal #3 of the base unit.
7. Connect the available end‐lead on the potentiometer (Rpot) with the available lead on fixed resistor (R2).
8. Connect the cable shield or drain wire to the ground screw in the feedback connections terminal box of the base
unit. Do not connect the shield or drain wire to the two‐resistor series.
9. Replace and tighten the base unit cover.
Example: Using a linear potentiometer rated at 400 Ohms/inch on an actuator with 16” of travel.
D Rpot(max) is 400 Ohms/in x 16” = 6.4 kOhm
D R1 = 6.4 kOhm x 4.25 = 27.2 kOhm
D R2 = 6.4 kOhm / 4 = 1.6 kOhm

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 DVC6000 HW2 for use with a HART Tri‐Loop, perform the following procedures.

Guided Setup
Handheld Communicator Configure > Guided Setup (2‐1)

The following procedures will guide you through the instrument setup process.
Device Setup is used to configure actuator and valve information, calibrate the valve assembly, and assign the tuning
set for the valve assembly.
Auto Calibration is used to establish the limits of physical travel. During this process, the valve will fully stroke from
one travel extreme to the other. There are three calibration options to choose from:
d Autocalibrate – Standard runs the full calibration process (recommended).
d Autocalibrate – Without Biases establishes the travel end points, but does not adjust the Minor Loop Feedback
bias. This is for advanced use when manually setting the biases for large actuators.
d Advanced Settings allows additional custom configuration of calibration parameters. This is for advanced use
when calibrating large actuators.

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

electronically according to the requirements of your application. The tag you assign is automatically displayed
when the handheld 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.

20
Instruction Manual Configuration
D103785X012 February 2023

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 a handheld 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.

Travel/Pressure Control
Handheld Communicator Configure > Manual Setup > Travel/Pressure Control (2‐2-3)

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.
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 Hi Soft Cutoff Rate—This setting allows the valve to ramp to the high travel extreme when the Cutoff Point is
reached at the configured rate. This provides a controlled ramp into the open travel stop. When set to 0%/sec, the
Hi Soft Cutoff rate is disabled.

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%.

D Lo Soft Cutoff Rate—This setting allows the valve to ramp to the low travel extreme when the Cutoff Point is reached
at the configured rate. This provides a controlled ramp into the seat in order to minimize seat damage. When set to
0%/sec, the Lo Soft Cutoff rate is disabled.

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—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).

Control Mode
D Control Mode—Displays the current control mode of the instrument. This will show Analog if the instrument is in
Point­to­Point mode and is using a 4­20 mA signal for its power and set point. This will show Digital if the
instrument is in Multidrop mode and is using 24 VDC for power and a digital set point for control.

Note
Another mode, Test, may be displayed. Normally the instrument should not be in the Test mode. The digital valve controller
automatically switches to this mode whenever it needs to stroke the valve during calibration or stroke valve, for example.
However, if you abort from a procedure where the instrument is in the test mode, it may remain in this mode. To take the
instrument out of the Test mode, select Change Control Mode and enter Analog or Digital.

D Change Control Mode—Allows you to configure the control mode to Analog or Digital.

D Restart Control Mode—Defines the Control Mode of the instrument after a restart (e.g. power cycle). Available
choices are Resume Last, Analog and Digital.

D103785X012 February 2023

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 3‐2 or you can select a custom characteristic. Figure 3‐2 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, select Custom Characterization from the Characterization menu. 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).

Dynamic Response
D SP Rate Open—Maximum rate (% of valve travel per second) at which the digital valve controller will move to the
open position regardless of the rate of input current change. A value of 0 will deactivate this feature and allow the
valve to stroke open as fast as possible.

D SP Rate Close—Maximum rate (% of valve travel per second) at which the digital valve controller will move to the
close position regardless of the rate of input current change. A value of 0 will deactivate this feature and allow the
valve to stroke close as fast as possible.

D Set Point Filter Time (Lag Time)—The Set Point Filter Time (Lag Time) slows the response of the digital valve
controller. A value ranging from 0.2 to 10.0 can be used for noisy or fast processes to improve closed loop process
control. Entering a value of 0.0 will deactivate the lag filter.

Note
Set Point Filter Time (Lag Time) is available for instrument level HC, AD, and PD.

D Lead/Lag Set Point Filter—ODV devices have access to a lead‐lag set point filter that can be used to improve a valve's
dynamic response. The lead‐lag filter is part of the set point processing routine that reshapes the input signal before
it becomes travel set point. Lead‐lag filters are characterized by lead and lag time constants.

Note
Lead/Lag is only available for instrument level ODV.

When the valve is in its active control region (off the seat), the lead‐lag filter improves small amplitude response by
momentarily overdriving the travel set point. This is useful when the actuator is large and equipped with accessories.
As a result, any volume boosters that are present will be activated. The longer the lag time, the more pronounced the
overdrive. Since the lead‐lag input filter is used to enhance the dynamic response of a control valve, filter parameters
should be set after the tuning parameters have been established.

When the valve is at its seat, the lead‐lag filter also has a boost function that sets the initial conditions of the filter
artificially low so that small amplitude signal changes appear to be large signal changes to the filter. The boost
function introduces a large spike that momentarily overdrives the instrument and activates any external volume
boosters that may be present. The lead‐lag boost function is normally disabled except for those cases where the valve
must respond to small command signals off the seat. By setting the lead/lag ratio in the opening and closing directions
to 1.0, the boost function can be enabled without introducing lead‐lag dynamics in the active control region. See table
3‐2 for typical lead‐lag filter settings.

Table 3‐2. Typical Lead/Lag Filter Settings for Instrument Level ODV
Parameter Description Typical Value
Lag Time First order time constant. A value of 0.0 will disable the lead‐lag filter. 0.2 sec

Changes to the tuning set may cause the valve/actuator assembly to stroke. To avoid personal injury and property damage
caused by moving parts, keep hands, tools, and other objects away from the valve/actuator assembly.

D Travel Tuning Set

There are eleven tuning sets to choose from. Each tuning set provides a preselected value for the digital valve
controller gain settings. Tuning set C provides the slowest response and M provides the fastest response.

Table 3‐3 lists the proportional gain, velocity gain and minor loop feedback gain values for preselected tuning sets.

In addition, you can specify Expert tuning and individually set the proportional gain, velocity gain, and minor loop
feedback gain. Individually setting or changing any tuning parameter or running Stabilize/Optimize will automatically
change the tuning set to X (expert).

Note
Use Expert tuning only if standard tuning has not achieved the desired results.
Stabilize/Optimize, or Performance Tuner in ValveLink software, may be used to achieve the desired results more rapidly than
manual Expert tuning.

WARNING
During Stabilize/Optimize the valve may move, causing process fluid or pressure to be released. To avoid personal injury
and property damage caused by the release of process fluid or pressure, isolate the valve from the process and equalize
pressure on both sides of the valve or bleed off the process fluid.

Stabilize/Optimize permits you to adjust valve response by changing the digital valve controller tuning. During this
routine the instrument must be out of service, however, the instrument will respond to setpoint changes.

If the valve is unstable select decrease response for a more conservative setting. If the valve response is sluggish, select
increase response for a more aggressive saving. When finished select Done.

Partial Stroke Test (PST)

Handheld Communicator Configure > Manual Setup > Partial Stroke (2-2-6)

Note
Partial Stroke is only available for instrument level ODV.

Partial Stroke Test Parameters

Test Start Point defines the normal (not tripped) end of valve travel. The valve must be at this end for a PST to be
initiated. Setting this value to Not Configured will disable partial stroke tests.

Travel Hi Hi defines, in percent (%) of calibrated travel, the point above which the valve is considered to have reached
the high end.

Travel Lo Lo defines, in percent (%) of calibrated travel, the point below which the valve is considered to have reached
the low end.

Pause Time is the time between the outgoing and incoming strokes of the test. The default value is 5 seconds. Pause
Time will not be used if Short Duration PST is enabled. The outgoing stroke is from the normal end to the PST target
and the incoming stroke is the return stroke to normal. See figure 3‐6.

Action On a Failed Test defines if the valve should step or ramp back on a failed stroke test.

Auto Test Interval is the interval of time in days between valve stroke tests that are automatically executed by the
digital valve controller, subject to the device being powered up. A value of 0 disables this feature.

Partial Stroke Parameters

Minimum Travel Movement is the percentage of total span that the valve moves away from its normal operating end
of travel towards its tripped end of travel during the test. The default value is 10%.

Short Duration PST, when enabled the incoming stroke is initiated as soon as the travel reaches the minimum travel
movement. Refer to figure 3‐7 for a time series representation of this parameter.

Outgoing Ramp Rate is the rate at which the valve will move during the Outgoing stroke of the Partial Stroke test. The
default value is 0.25%/second.

Incoming Ramp Rate is the rate at which the valve will move during the Incoming stroke of the Partial Stroke test. The
default value is 0.25%/second.

Return Lead defines the percent (%) change in setpoint to overcome the hysteresis in the valve assembly. The error
between setpoint and actual error is added to this percent change. For example, if the Return Lead is set at 0.5% and
there is a 1% error this will be set at 1.5%

Breakout Timeout is the user configured amount of time before which the valve must leave the normal end during a
PST.

Outgoing Pressure Threshold defines the actuator pressure at which a partial stroke test will abort during the outgoing
stroke (see figure 3‐6). This prevents the DVC6200 from exhausting (or building) excessive pressure from/to the
actuator in an attempt to move a stuck valve. During PST Calibration, the Partial Stroke Outgoing Pressure Threshold
will be set automatically as follows:

d Single Acting Actuators - For those actuators that exhaust pressure from the partial test start point, the Outgoing
Pressure Threshold will be a minimum value. For those actuators that build pressure from the partial test start point,
the Outgoing Pressure Threshold will be a maximum value.

d Double Acting Actuators - The Outgoing Pressure Threshold will be set to a negative value for actuators where the
partial stroke start point is opposite of the Zero Power Condition (e.g., Partial Stroke Start Point = Open and Zero
Power Condition = Closed) and to a positive valve for actuators where the partial stroke start point is the same as the
Zero Power Condition.

2. Disable Partial Stroke Outgoing Pressure Limit by ensuring it is not selected as an evaluation criteria for PST
Abnormal.
3. Run a partial stroke test.
4. Select the Press/Time radio button on the partial stroke graph (refer to the example in figure 3‐8). If the actuator
pressure starts high and moves low, find the minimum actuator pressure (Pmin). If the actuator pressure starts low
and moves high, find the maximum actuator pressure (Pmax). Double­acting actuators will display differential
pressure. Use table 3‐6 to estimate the Outgoing Pressure Threshold.
5. Enable the previously disabled Outgoing Pressure Limit - calculate the value using table 3‐6.

Incoming Pressure Threshold defines the actuator pressure at which a partial stroke test will abort during the incoming
stroke (see figure 3‐6). This prevents the DVC6200 from exhausting (or building) excessive pressure from / to the
actuator in an attempt to move a stuck valve.

PST Abnormal Criteria

A partial stroke test is marked as abnormal if it fails any of the following user-selected criteria.
1. Stroking Pressure (includes outgoing and incoming)
2. Hi friction breakout pressure
3. Low friction breakout pressure
4. Max travel
5. Insufficient travel
6. Not seated (either at the start or end of the test)
7. SOV Test preceded PST and failed
8. Travel deviation

PST Abort Criteria

The PST is terminated and the valve is returned to the normal end. The return to the normal end will be per the user
configuration for an aborted test. The abort criteria will only be active if it is added as a criteria to be evaluated during
PST by adding it to the PST Abnormal Criteria.

The user can select any of the following to abort a Partial Stroke Test:
1. Stroking Pressure (includes outgoing and incoming)
2. Hi friction breakout pressure
3. Low friction breakout pressure
4. Max travel
5. Insufficient travel
6. Not seated (either at the start or end of the test)
7. SOV Test preceded PST and failed
8. Travel deviation

Output Terminal Configuration

Note
Output Terminal Configuration is only available on units that have the optional 4­20 mA position transmitter or switch hardware
installed. For information on position transmitter/discrete switch wiring and configuration refer to the DVC6005 Series Remote
Mount Digital Valve Controller Quick Start Guide (D103784X012).

D Output Terminal Enable—If using the optional output terminal for a Position Transmitter or Switch output, this must
be enabled with a user interface tool such as ValveLink software.

D Function—The output terminals can be configured as one of the following:

Transmitter - 4­20 mA output that represents 0­100% of the calibrated valve travel.
Limit Switch - Discrete switch (1 A max) that trips at a configurable point within 0­100% of calibrated valve travel.
Alert Switch - Discrete switch (1 A max) that trips based on a configurable device alert.
D Fail Signal—Should the output circuit fail to operate properly, the output will attempt to drive to a known state.
Depending on the nature of the failure, the circuit may or may not be able to achieve this fail state. When
configured as a position transmitter, the output can be configured to fail low (< 3.6 mA). The output can be
configured to fail high (> 22.5 mA) when the digital valve controller is powered. When configured as a switch, the
output can be configured to drive Closed or Open.

Note
On loss of digital valve controller power, the switch circuit will always go to the open state.

Switch Configuration

Note
Switch Configuration is only available on units that have the optional 4­20 mA position transmitter or switch hardware installed.

D Limit Switch Trip Point—When the function is configured as a Limit Switch, the Limit Switch Trip Point defines the
threshold for the limit switch in percent of calibrated travel.

D Alert Switch Source—When the function is configured as an Alert Switch, the Alert Switch Source determines which
alert will activate the switch. The alert choices are: Travel Deviation or Pressure Fallback.

40
Instruction Manual Configuration
D103785X012 February 2023

D Switch Closed—Configures the action of the switch. The choices are: Below Trip Point / Alert Not Active or Above
Trip Point / Alert Active.

HART Variable Assignments

Instrument variables can be reported via four different HART variable assignments. The Primary Variable is always
configured as Analog Input. However, the remaining three variables have additional options as listed below.
Primary Variable (PV) Analog Input
Secondary Variable (SV) Travel, Travel Setpoint, Pressure A, Pressure B, Pressure A­B, Supply Pressure,
Drive Signal, or Analog Input; default value is Travel Setpoint
Tertiary Variable (TV) Travel, Travel Setpoint, Pressure A, Pressure B, Pressure A­B, Supply Pressure,
Drive Signal, or Analog Input; default value is Pressure A.
Quaternary Variable (QV) Travel, Travel Setpoint, Pressure A, Pressure B, Pressure A­B, Supply Pressure,
Drive Signal, or Analog Input; default value is Travel.

Transmitter Output

Note
Transmitter Output is only available on units that have the optional 4­20 mA position transmitter or switch hardware installed.

This configures the relationship between the valve travel and the position transmitter output signal. There are two
choices; 4mA = Valve Closed or 4mA = Valve Open.

Burst Mode
Burst mode provides continuous communication from the digital valve controller. Burst mode applies only to the
transmission of burst mode data (HART Variable Assignments) and does not affect the way other data is accessed.

D Burst Enable—Turns on or off the burst mode.

D Burst Command—Defines which HART command is configured for burst reporting. When using a Tri­Loop, select
Command 3.

Configuration Instruction Manual
February 2023 D103785X012

Note
Access to information in the instrument is normally obtained through the poll/response of HART communication. A handheld
communicator or the control system may request any of the information that is normally available, even while the instrument is in
burst mode. Between each burst mode transmission sent by the instrument, a short pause allows the handheld communicator or
control system to initiate a request. The instrument receives the request, processes the response message, and then continues
“bursting” the burst mode data.
Burst mode will be disabled by ValveLink software during diagnostics tests such as Valve Signature.
HART 7 allows three burst commands to be reported. When using a Tri-Loop, do not enable the 2nd or 3rd burst commands. These
additional commands will result in missed messages, thus taking the Tri-Loop's output to the fault state.

Note
If the instrument is configured to operate in pressure control mode, or detects an invalid travel sensor reading, the Travel variable
will report pressure in percent of bench set range.

Alert Setup
Handheld Communicator Configure > Alert Setup (2‐3)

An alert is a notification that the instrument has detected a problem. Alerts that are enabled and active will be
recorded in the instrument memory within the Alert Record (see Section 5). Some alerts are also defined in the HART
Command 48 response structure which is can be read by any HART communicating host system (refer to the HART
Field Device Specification, D103782X012).

Certain critical alerts can be configured to shut down the device when active (i.e. latch in the Zero Power Condition).
This can be enabled or disabled for each applicable alert. The default shutdown setting is disabled. To clear the
shutdown, correct the problem and then cycle power to the instrument (or disable the alert).

Alerts may be enabled or disabled with the instrument In Service, Out of Service, Protection On, or Protection Off.
However, shutdown alerts can only be enabled or disabled while Protection is off.

For a detailed explanation of the alerts and the recommended actions, refer to Section 5.

Change to HART 5 / Change to HART 7

Handheld Communicator Service Tool > Maintenance > Change to HART 5 / Change to HART 7 (3-5-3) HC or (3-5-4) AD, PD or (3-5-5) ODV

Note
This procedure must never be done while the valve is in service and controlling the process. Depending on the control system or
asset management system attached, complete system reset may be required to reestablish HART communication. Consult the
system documentation for further information.

This procedure changes the instrument from HART Universal Revision 5 to HART Universal Revision 7 (or vice versa).
Before proceeding, verify that your systems are prepared to support HART Universal Revision 7 devices. Follow the
prompts on the handheld communicator display.

Calibration Overview
When a DVC6000 HW2 digital valve controller is ordered as part of a control valve assembly, the factory mounts the
remote feedback unit on the actuator and connects the necessary tubing, then sets up and calibrates the controller.

For digital valve controllers that are ordered separately, recalibration of the analog input or pressure sensors generally
is unnecessary. However, after mounting on an actuator, perform the initial setup then calibrate travel by selecting
Configure > Calibration > Travel Calibration > Auto Calibration. For more detailed calibration information, refer to the
following calibration procedures.

Handheld Communicator Configure > Calibration (2-4)

Auto Travel Calibration - see page 44

Manual Travel Calibration - see page 46

Pushbutton Calibration - see page 47

Pressure Sensor Calibration - see page 48

Travel Sensor Calibration - see page 49

Analog Input Calibration - see page 53

Relay Adjustment - see page 54

PST Calibration (ODV Instrument Level only) - see page 56

Note
The Instrument Mode must be Out Of Service and the Protection set to None before the instrument can be calibrated.
If you are operating in burst mode, we recommend that you disable burst before continuing with calibration. Once calibration is
complete, burst mode may then be turned back on.

WARNING
During calibration the valve will move full stroke. To avoid personal injury and property damage caused by the release of
pressure or process fluid, isolate the valve from the process and equalize pressure on both sides of the valve or bleed off the
process fluid.

Travel Calibration
If a double‐acting relay is used, you will be prompted to run the relay adjustment when auto or manual calibration is
selected. Select Yes to adjust the relay, select No to proceed with calibration. For additional information, refer to Relay
Adjustment on page 54.

Auto Calibration
User interaction is only required with Auto Calibrate Travel when the feedback connection is SStem ‐ Standard (Sliding
Stem ‐ Standard). A feedback connection of Rotary ‐ All, SStem ‐ Roller (Sliding Stem ‐ Roller) requires no user
interaction and you can start with step 6.

For a SStem ‐ Standard feedback connection, interaction provides a more accurate crossover adjustment. Setting
crossover establishes the zero degree point for the geometric correction used to translate the rotary motion observed
by the travel sensor into the linear motion of the sliding‐stem valve.

1. Select the method of crossover adjustment: manual, last value, or default. Manual is the recommended choice. If
you select Manual, the handheld communicator will prompt you to adjust the crossover in step 3.
If you select Last Value, the crossover setting currently stored in the instrument is used and there are no further user
interactions with the auto‐calibration routine (go to step 6). Use this selection if you cannot use manual, such as
when you cannot see the valve.
If you select Default, an approximate value for the crossover is written to the instrument and there are no further
user interactions with the auto‐calibration routine (go to step 6). Use this selection only as a last resort. Default
assumes a midrange position on the travel sensor as the crossover point, however, this may not be an appropriate
value to use for crossover because of variations in mounting and travel sensor calibration.
2. The instrument seeks the high and low drive points and the minor loop feedback (MLFB) and output bias. No user
interaction is required in this step. For a description of these actions see step 6.
3. If you select Manual in step 1, you are asked to select an adjustment source, either analog or digital. If you use a
current source to adjust the crossover, select Analog and go to step 4. If you wish to adjust the current source
digitally, select Digital and go to step 5.
4. If you selected Analog as the crossover adjustment source, the handheld communicator prompts you to adjust the
current source until the feedback arm is 90° to the actuator stem, as shown in figure 4‐1. After you have made the
adjustment, press OK and go to step 6.
5. If you selected Digital as the crossover adjustment source, the handheld communicator displays a menu to allow
you to adjust the crossover.
Select the direction and size of change required to set the feedback arm so it is 90° to the actuator stem, as shown
in figure 4‐1. Selecting large, medium, and small adjustments to the crossover causes changes of approximately
10.0°, 1.0°, and 0.1°, respectively, to the rotation of the feedback arm.
If another adjustment is required, repeat step 5. Otherwise, select Done and go to step 6.
6. The remainder of the auto calibration procedure is automatic. It is completed when the Calibration menu appears.
During calibration, the instrument seeks the high and low end points and the minor loop feedback (MLFB) and
output bias. By searching for the end points, the instrument establishes the limits of physical travel, i.e. the actual
travel 0 and 100% positions. This also determines how far the relay beam swings to calibrate the sensitivity of the
MLFB sensor.

If another adjustment is required, repeat step 7. Otherwise, select Done and go to step 8.
8. Place the instrument In Service and verify that the travel properly tracks the current source.

Pushbutton Calibration
A pushbutton near the wiring terminals in the terminal box 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 enabled by default.

Note
Pressure range (used for Pressure Fallback) is not recalibrated during this procedure.

This calibration procedure is recommended whenever the I/P converter or pneumatic relay is replaced. Do not use the
pushbutton calibration for initial calibration when mounting the instrument on an actuator, or if the printed wiring
board assembly was replaced.

If you suspect calibration has changed due to drift, first perform a Valve Signature diagnostic test using ValveLink
software to capture the as­found data for future root cause analysis.

Relay Adjustment
Before beginning travel calibration, check the relay adjustment. Replace the instrument cover when finished.

Note
Relay B and C are not user‐adjustable.

Double‐Acting Relay
The double‐acting relay is designated by “Relay A” on a label affixed to the relay itself. For double‐acting actuators, the
valve must be near mid‐travel to properly adjust the relay. The handheld communicator will automatically position the
valve when Relay Adjust is selected.

Note
Care should be taken during relay adjustment as the adjustment disc may disengage if rotated too far.

Rotate the adjustment disc, shown in figure 4‐6, until the output pressure displayed on the handheld communicator is
between 50 and 70% of supply pressure. This adjustment is very sensitive. Be sure to allow the pressure reading to
stabilize before making another adjustment (stabilization may take up to 30 seconds or more for large actuators).

54
Instruction Manual Calibration
D103785X012 February 2023

If the low bleed relay option has been ordered stabilization may take approximately two minutes longer than the
standard relay.

Relay A may also be adjusted for use in single‐acting‐ direct applications. Rotate the adjustment disc as shown in figure

End Point Pressure Deviation is active if the instrument is in pressure control and the pressure is not tracking the set
point within the configured deviation allowance.

Field Device Malfunction is active if the pressure, position, or temperature sensors are providing invalid readings.

Flash Integrity Failure is active if there is a failure associated with flash ROM (read only memory). To clear the alert,
restart the instrument. If the alert persists, replace the printed wiring board assembly.

Instrument Time is Approximate is active if the instrument has been powered down since the last time the instrument
clock was set. To clear the alert, reset the instrument time.

Integrator Saturated High is active if the instrument integrator is saturated at the high extreme.

Integrator Saturated Low is active if the instrument integrator is saturated at the low extreme.

Internal Sensor Out of Limits is active if there is a problem with either the pressure sensor or the printed wiring board
assembly.

Loop Current Validation Alert is active if the loop current is significantly out of range, or if there is a problem with the
analog circuit electronics. To clear the alert, restart the instrument with the loop current verified to be in the 4-20 mA
range. If the alert persists, replace the printed wiring board.

Note
If the control system is known to output current 24 mA or above, Shutdown on Loop Current Validation should not be enabled.

Minor Loop Sensor Failure is active if the pneumatic relay position reading is outside the valid range. If the alert
persists, replace the printed wiring board.

Non-Critical NVM is active if there is a failure associated with NVM (nonvolatile memory) that is not critical for
instrument operation. To clear the alert, restart the instrument. If the alert persists, replace the printed wiring board
assembly.

Offline / Failed is active if a shutdown alert has put the device in a failed state and is therefore not controlling the input.
Examine the alert(s) that caused the shutdown.

Output Circuit Error is active if the output circuit is not responding. Verify that the DIP switch on the main electronics
matches the configuration of the OUT terminals. If the DIP switch setting is correct and the alert is still active, replace
the main electronics.

Port A Overpressurized requires that both the Port A Overpressurized Alert and the Port A Output Pressure Limit are
enabled and applies to single acting direct applications only. The alert is active if the output pressure from Port A of the
DVC6000 HW2 exceeds the configured pressure limit setting. Check the supply pressure regulator for damage and
verify its pressure set point.

Pressure Fallback Active is active when the instrument has detected a problem with the travel feedback and is now
controlling the output like an I/P transducer.

Pressure Sensor Failure is active if any of the 3 pressure sensor readings (output A, output B, supply) are outside the
range of 24.0 to 125.0% of the calibrated pressure for more than 60 seconds. If this alert is active, check the
instrument supply pressure, ensure the printed wiring board assembly is properly mounted onto the module base
assembly, and ensure the pressure sensor o-rings are properly installed. If the alert persists after restarting the
instrument, replace the printed wiring board assembly.

Instruction Manual Device Information, Alerts, and Diagnostics
D103785X012 February 2023

Reference Voltage Failure is active if there is a failure associated with the internal voltage reference. If this alert is
active, replace the printed wiring board assembly.
Supply Pressure High is active if the supply pressure falls above the supply pressure high alert point.
Supply Pressure Low is active if the supply pressure falls below the supply pressure low alert point.
Temperature Sensor Failure is active when the instrument temperature sensor fails, or the sensor reading is outside of
the range of -60 to 100°C (-76 to 212°F). The temperature reading is used internally for temperature compensation of
inputs. If this alert is active, restart the instrument. If the alert persists, replace the printed wiring board assembly.
Travel Accumulator High is active if the Travel Accumulator exceeds the Travel Accumulator Alert Point. The Travel
Accumulator totalizes the travel of the valve when the deadband is exceeded. To clear the alert, set the Travel
Accumulator to a value less than the alert point. See figure 5‐2.
Travel Alert Hi is active when the Travel exceeds the Travel Alert Hi Point. Once the alert is active, the alert will clear
when the Travel falls below the Travel Alert Hi Point minus the Travel Alert Deadband. See figure 5‐1.

Note
The Travel Alert Hi Hi and Travel Alert Lo Lo points are used to calculate the stroke time in the event of a demand. The values are
typically set to 99% and 1% respectively, however it is not necessary to enable the alert. Stroke time can be read from the device
with ValveLink software.

Travel Alert Hi-Hi is active when the Travel exceeds the Travel Alert Hi Hi Point. Once the alert is active, the alert will
clear when the Travel falls below the Travel Alert Hi Hi Point minus the Travel Alert Deadband. See figure 5‐1.
Travel Alert Lo is active when the Travel is below the Travel Alert Lo Point. Once the alert is active, the alert will clear
when the Travel exceeds the Travel Alert Lo Point plus the Travel Alert Deadband. See figure 5‐1.
Travel Alert Lo-Lo is active when the Travel is below the Travel Alert Lo Point. Once the alert is active, the alert will clear
when the Travel exceeds the Travel Alert Lo Point plus the Travel Alert Deadband. See figure 5‐1.
Travel Limit/Cutoff Hi is active when the Travel exceeds the Hi Limit/Cutoff Point.
Travel Limit/Cutoff Lo is active when the Travel falls below the Lo Limit/Cutoff Point.
Travel Deviation— If the difference between the Travel Target and the Travel exceeds the Travel Deviation Alert Point
for more than the Travel Deviation Time, the Travel Deviation Alert is active. It remains active until the difference
between the travel target and the Travel is less than the Travel Deviation Alert Point minus the Travel Alert Deadband.
See figure 5‐1.
Travel Sensor Failure is active if the sensed travel is outside the range of 25.0 to 125.0% of calibrated travel. If this alert
is active, check the instrument mounting. Also, check that the electrical connection from the travel sensor is properly
plugged into the printed wiring board assembly. After restarting the instrument, if the alert persists, troubleshoot the
printed wiring board assembly or travel sensor.
Variable out of Range is active if one or more of the measured analog sensor readings (loop current, pressure,
temperature, or travel) is saturated or reading out of its configured range. The condition may be due to improper
configuration or physical setup and not be due to a sensor malfunction.

Deadband Principle of Operation

The deadband is the percent (%) of ranged travel around a travel reference point where no change in alert status will
occur. This prevents the alert from toggling on and off when operating near the alert point.

61
Device Information, Alerts, and Diagnostics Instruction Manual
February 2023 D103785X012

The Travel Alert Deadband applies to the Travel Deviation Alert as well as the Travel Alert Hi, Lo, Hi Hi, and Lo Lo.
Figure 5‐1 illustrates the principle behind setting and clearing a Travel Alert Hi. The alert is set when the travel exceeds
the alert point, and is cleared when it falls below the deadband.

The Cycle Counter and Travel Accumulator Deadband applies to both the Cycle Count High Alert and the Travel
Accumulator High Alert. The deadband establishes a zone around a travel reference point. The travel reference point
gets reestablished to the point of travel reversal that occurs outside of the deadband. The deadband must be
exceeded before a change in travel direction will be counted as a cycle and the accumulated travel (up to the point of
travel reversal) is added to the total accumulation. See figure 5‐2.

D Step to Target—steps the travel to the specified target.

Partial Stroke Test

Note
Partial Stroke Test is only available for instrument level ODV.

The Partial Stroke Test allows DVC6000 HW2 digital valve controllers with instrument level ODV to perform a Valve
Signature type of test while the instrument is in service and operational. In some applications, it is important to be able
to exercise and test the valve to verify that it will operate when commanded. This feature allows the user to partially
stroke the valve while continually monitoring the input signal. If a demand arises, the test is aborted and the valve
moves to its commanded position. The partial stroke valve travel is configurable between 1 and 30% maximum travel,
in 0.1% increments. Data from the last partial stroke test is stored in the instrument memory for retrieval by ValveLink
software.

The Partial Stroke Test allows you to perform a partial, 10%, stroke test (standard) or a custom stroke test. With the
custom stroke test, the stroke may be extended up to 30%. Be sure to check plant guidelines before performing a
custom stroke test. The purpose of this test is to ensure that the valve assembly moves upon demand.

A partial stroke test can be initiated when the valve is operating at either 4 or 20 mA (point‐to‐point mode).

When enabled, a partial stroke test may be initiated by the device (as a scheduled, auto partial stroke test), a remote
pushbutton located in the field or at the valve, a handheld communicator, or ValveLink software.

For information on configuring the Partial Stroke Test, see Partial Stroke Variables in the Detailed Setup section.

D Automatic (Scheduled)

The Auto Partial Stroke Test allows the partial stroke test to be scheduled by the DVC6000 HW2. The test is scheduled
in number of hours between tests. Any power cycle will reset the test clock timer.

D Local Pushbutton

A partial stroke test command may be sent to the digital valve controller using a set of contacts wired to the auxiliary
+/- terminals. To perform a test, the contacts must be closed for 3 to 5 seconds and then opened. To abort the test,

63
Device Information, Alerts, and Diagnostics Instruction Manual
February 2023 D103785X012

close the contacts for 1 second. The last set of diagnostic data is stored in the instrument memory for later retrieval via
ValveLink software.

D Handheld Communicator
1. Connect the handheld communicator to the LOOP terminals on the DVC6005 HW2 base unit and turn on.
2. From the Online menu, select Service Tools > Diagnostics > Partial Stroke Test.
3. Select either Standard (10%) or Custom. With the Custom Stroke Test, the stroke may be entered up to 30% with
configurable stroking speed and pause time.
4. The currently configured Stroke, Stroking Speed, and Pause Time is displayed. Choose “Yes” to run the test using
these values. Choose “No” to modify the values. The default value for Stroke Speed is 0.25%/second.
5. The valve begins to move and the actual travel reported by the digital valve controller is displayed on the handheld
communicator.
6. Once the valve has reached the endpoint, check that the valve has reached the desired set point. The valve should
return to its original position.
D ValveLink Software

Run the Partial Stroke diagnostic.

Solenoid Valve Health Monitoring

Solenoid valve health monitoring requires the following setup:

D Single-acting actuator

D Solenoid valve installed between the DVC6000 HW2 pressure output and the actuator

D Unused output pressure port of the DVC6000 HW2 connected between the solenoid and the actuator, close to the
actuator

D Relay configured as “special application”

D Triggered profile enabled and the “Pressure Differential” trigger event selected.

If the solenoid valve is wired directly to the logic solver, the following steps can be used to test the solenoid valve.
1. Momentarily interrupt the power to the solenoid valve through the Logic Solver (typically 100 to 200 milliseconds).
The duration of the interruption should be short enough so that the safety valve travel does not move, but long
enough to so that a pressure drop across the solenoid valve is detected.
2. Properly configured, data collection will occur automatically and will be stored onboard the DVC6000 HW2.
3. With ValveLink software, upload the diagnostic data from the triggered profile menu.
4. Examine the graph and observe that there was a change in the pressure reading downstream of the solenoid.

Instruction Manual Maintenance and Troubleshooting
D103785X012 February 2023

Section 6 Maintenance and Troubleshooting66

The DVC6000 HW2 digital valve controller enclosure is rated Type 4X and IP66, therefore periodic cleaning of internal
components is not required. If the DVC6000 HW2 is installed in an area where the exterior surfaces tend to get heavily
coated or layered with industrial or atmospheric contaminants, it is recommended that the vent (key 52) be
periodically removed and inspected to ensure there is no partial or full obstruction. If the vent appears to be partially or
fully obstructed, it must be cleaned or replaced. Lightly brush the exterior of the vent to remove contaminants and run
a mild water/detergent solution through the vent to ensure it is free of any obstruction. Allow the vent to dry before
reinstalling.

WARNING
Personal injury or property damage can occur from cover failure due to overpressure. Ensure that the housing vent
opening is open and free of debris to prevent pressure buildup under the cover.

WARNING
To avoid static discharge from the plastic cover when flammable gases or dust are present, do not rub or clean the cover
with solvents. To do so could result in a spark that may cause the flammable gases or dust to explode, resulting in personal
injury or property damage. Clean with a mild detergent and water only.

WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before performing
any maintenance procedures on the DVC6000 HW2 digital valve controller:
D Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear.
D Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
D Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure. Relieve process pressure
from both sides of the valve.
D Use lock‐out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
D Vent the pneumatic actuator loading pressure and relieve any actuator spring precompression so the actuator is not
applying force to the valve stem; this will allow for the safe removal of the stem connector.
D Disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the
actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve.
When using natural gas as the supply medium, or for explosion proof applications, the following warnings also apply:
D Remove electrical power before removing the housing cap. Personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion
may result if power is not disconnected before removing the cap.
D Remove electrical power before disconnecting any of the pneumatic connections.
D When disconnecting any of the pneumatic connections or any pressure retaining part, natural gas will seep from the
unit and any connected equipment into the surrounding atmosphere. Personal injury or property damage may result
from fire or explosion if natural gas is used as the supply medium and appropriate preventive measures are not taken.
Preventive measures may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: Remote venting of the unit,
re‐evaluating the hazardous area classification, ensuring adequate ventilation, and the removal of any ignition sources.
D Ensure that all caps and covers are correctly installed before putting this unit back into service. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion.

D103785X012 February 2023

Appendix A Principle of OperationAA−A

HART Communication
The HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) protocol gives field devices the capability of communicating
instrument and process data digitally. This digital communication occurs over the same two‐wire loop that provides
the 4‐20 mA process control signal, without disrupting the process signal. In this way, the analog process signal, with
its faster update rate, can be used for control. At the same time, the HART protocol allows access to digital diagnostic,
maintenance, and additional process data. The protocol provides total system integration via a host device.

The HART protocol uses frequency shift keying (FSK). Two individual frequencies of 1200 and 2200 Hz are
superimposed over the 4‐20 mA current signal. These frequencies represent the digits 1 and 0 (see figure A‐1). By
superimposing a frequency signal over the 4-20 mA current, digital communication is attained. The average value of
the HART signal is zero, therefore no DC value is added to the 4‐20 mA signal. Thus, true simultaneous communication
is achieved without interrupting the process signal.

The HART protocol allows the capability of multidropping, i.e., networking several devices to a single communications
line. This process is well suited for monitoring remote applications such as pipelines, custody transfer sites, and tank
farms. See table 6‐2 for instructions on changing the printed wiring board DIP switch configuration to multidrop.

DVC6000 HW2 Digital Valve Controller

The DVC6000 HW2 digital valve controller housing contains the travel sensor, terminal box, pneumatic input and
output connections and a module base that may be easily replaced in the field without disconnecting field wiring or
tubing. The module base contains the following submodules: I/P converter, printed wiring board (pwb) assembly, and
pneumatic relay. The relay position is detected by sensing the magnet on the relay beam via a detector on the printed
wiring board. This sensor is used for the minor loop feedback (MLFB) reading. The module base can be rebuilt by
replacing the submodules. See figures A‐3.

FIELD TERM.

E1568

DVC6000 HW2 digital valve controllers are loop‐powered instruments that provide a control valve position
proportional to an input signal from the control room. The following describes a double‐acting digital valve controller
mounted on a piston actuator.

The input signal is routed into the terminal box through a single twisted pair of wires and then to the printed wiring
board assembly submodule where it is read by the microprocessor, processed by a digital algorithm, and converted
into an analog I/P drive signal.

As the input signal increases, the drive signal to the I/P converter increases, increasing the I/P output pressure. The I/P
output pressure is routed to the pneumatic relay submodule. The relay is also connected to supply pressure and
amplifies the small pneumatic signal from the I/P converter. The relay accepts the amplified pneumatic signal and
provides two output pressures. With increasing input (4 to 20 mA signal), the output A pressure always increases and
the output B pressure decreases. The output A pressure is used for double‐acting and single‐acting direct applications.
The output B pressure is used for double‐acting and single‐acting reverse applications. As shown in figure A‐3 the
increased output A pressure causes the actuator stem to move downward. Stem position is sensed through the
feedback linkage by the travel sensor which is electrically connected to the printed wiring board assembly submodule.
The stem continues to move downward until the correct stem position is attained. At this point the printed wiring
board assembly stabilizes the I/P drive signal. This positions the flapper to prevent any further increase in nozzle
pressure.

As the input signal decreases, the drive signal to the I/P converter submodule decreases, decreasing the I/P output
pressure. The pneumatic relay decreases the output A pressure and increases the output B pressure. The stem moves
upward until the correct position is attained. At this point the printed wiring board assembly stabilizes the I/P drive
signal. This positions the flapper to prevent any further decrease in nozzle pressure.
