+ I worry about having the proper spares for the wide variety of valve applications in our facility.
With the DVC6200 Series, it is possible to cover a majority of applications with a single instrument. The mounting changes from
valve assembly to valve assembly. Few spare parts are required, which are common between instruments.
+ Valve diagnostics are great, but I can’t shut down my process to use them.
FIELDVUE instrument users can diagnose, analyze, and trend valve diagnostic data while the valves are in service. You are given a
real-time, accurate picture of valve health, not just numbers and graphs, without impacting your process.
+ We can’t spend all day in front of a PC, waiting for a problem. Digital valve controllers should tell me
when there is a problem.
You decide when the FIELDVUE instrument collects diagnostic data. Schedule it to collect data automatically or when triggered by
a certain event. Or configure ValveLink software’s Event Messenger feature to email you when a critical problem is detected.
+ Our old control system has analog I/O. I’m not going to see the benefit of a digital valve controller.
You can experience the benefits of the FIELDVUE instrument regardless of the age of the control system. Real-time information,
including alerts and performance trending, can be presented to operations without changing control system I/O. Smart Wireless
THUM adapters make it convenient to bring critical valve data to a central point within the facility.
+ I don’t want to buy new asset management software just to communicate with my digital valve
controller.
ValveLink software integrates into existing asset management software and communicates with all FIELDVUE instruments. It has
been tested and approved by most control system manufacturers, including Emerson, ABB, Honeywell, Invensys, Kongsberg,
Siemens, SUPCON, and Yokogawa.
+ My safety valves are too complex. How can I simplify?
In a single device, you can accomplish safety demand, partial stroke, and position transmitter functions. The DVC6200SIS
instrument is SIL3 capable and provides the safety shutdown function as a type A device. This can eliminate the need for hardware
redundancy. The position transmitter is also SIL certified and is power independent of the positioner loop.
+ We have valve assemblies from several manufacturers, not just Emerson. Can we really standardize
on the DVC6200 Series?
The FIELDVUE instrument has been mounted on every major control valve and actuator assembly, regardless of manufacturer—
not just Emerson.
+ It’s cumbersome to carry a PC into a process environment. Our technicians need simple, rugged
tools for setup and calibration.
Fisher ValveLink Mobile software makes setup and calibration easy. It goes where you go—no PC required. Installed on your 475
Field Communicator, you can take it into hazardous areas where your FIELDVUE instrument is located.
