Scope of Manual

This instruction manual is a supplement to the quick start guide that ships with every instrument. This instruction

manual includes product specifications, supplementary installation information, reference materials, custom setup

information, maintenance procedures, and replacement part details for the FIELDVUE DVC6200f digital valve

controller.

Note

All references to the DVC6200f digital valve controller include the DVC6205f base unit unless otherwise indicated.

This manual describes device setup using the 475 or 375 Field Communicator. For information on using Fisher

ValveLink software with the instrument, refer to the appropriate user guide or help.

Do not install, operate, or maintain a DVC6200f 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 Process Management sales

Instrument Description

DVC6200f digital valve controllers for FOUNDATION fieldbus are communicating, microprocessor‐based instruments. In

addition to the traditional function of converting a digital signal to a pneumatic output pressure, the DVC6200f digital

valve controller, using F

OUNDATION fieldbus communications protocol, gives easy access to information critical to

process operation as well as process control. This can be done using a DeltaV console, another F

OUNDATION fieldbus

system console, or with ValveLink software version 10.2 or later.

Using a compatible fieldbus configuration device, you can obtain information about the health of the instrument, the

actuator, and the valve. You can also obtain asset information about the actuator or valve manufacturer, model, and

serial number. You can set input and output configuration parameters and calibrate the instrument.

Using the F

OUNDATION fieldbus protocol, information from the instrument can be integrated into control systems.

DVC6200f digital valve controllers can be mounted on single or double‐acting sliding‐stem actuators, as shown in

figure 1‐2, or on rotary actuators. It can also be integrally mounted to the Fisher GX control valve and actuator system,

as shown in figure 1‐3. The DVC6200f mounts on most Fisher and other manufacturers' rotary and sliding‐stem

actuators.
