Fisher® FIELDVUE DVC6200 Digital Valve Controller

Instruction Manual
D103605X012
Configuration
July 2012
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.
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.
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
Instrument Serial Number—Enter the serial number on the instrument nameplate, up to 12 characters.
Valve Serial Number—Enter the serial number for the valve in the application, up to 12 characters.
Units
Pressure Units—Defines the output and supply pressure units in either psi, bar, kPa, or kg/cm 2 .
Temperature Units—Degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius. The temperature measured is from a sensor mounted on the
digital valve controller's printed wiring board.
Analog Input Units—Permits defining the Analog Input Units in mA or percent of 4-20 mA range.
Terminal Box
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.
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
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.
