Introduction
The DVC6200p digital valve controller is available with Fieldbus Diagnostics (FD). The DVC6200p has AO, AI, DO, and
two DI function blocks in addition to the physical and transducer blocks. A Logbook Function block and Alarm
Transducer block are also included with the DVC6200p.
DVC6200p digital valve controllers are communicating, microprocessor‐based instruments. In addition to the
traditional function of converting a digital signal to a pneumatic output pressure, the DVC6200p digital valve
controller, using PROFIBUS PA communications protocol, gives easy access to information critical to process operation
as well as process control. This can be done using Siemens PDM software or other host system.
Using a compatible profibus configuration device, such as Siemens PDM, you can obtain information about the health
of the instrument. 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 PROFIBUS protocol, information from the instrument can be integrated into control systems.
DVC6200p digital valve controllers can be mounted on single or double‐acting sliding‐stem actuators, as shown in
figure 1, or on rotary actuators. It can also be integrally mounted to the Fisher GX control valve and actuator system, as
shown in figure 2. The DVC6200p mounts on most Fisher and other manufacturers' rotary and sliding‐stem actuators.
Refer to the DVC6200 Series quick start guide (D103556X012)
that ships with the
product for DVC6200p installation, connection, and initial configuration information.
