Fisher FIELDVUE DVC6000 SIS Digital Valve Controller

The operation of many industrial processes involves inherent risk. Instrumented protection systems are specifically
designed to reduce the severity of the impact of an emergency event. These systems, such as Safety Instrumented
Systems (SIS), are designed to monitor a process for potentially dangerous conditions. During an emergency event,
the SIS instrument activates the valve to move the process to a safe state.
What happens if the valve does not move when an emergency event occurs? Personnel safety, equipment damage,
and environmental protection could be at serious risk.
Traditionally, a pneumatic test panel located near the valve provides a means to exercise the valve to ensure
operation when called upon. However, the procedures to test the valves are labor-intensive, cumbersome, and may
require the valve to be locked in a fixed position or bypassed.
FIELDVUE digital valve controllers installed on emergency shutdown valves offer state-of-the-art testing methods.
Using HART communication, the 375 Field Communicator or ValveLink Software replace the function of the
pneumatic test panel to verify operation of the emergency shutdown valve. The results are improved system
performance and valve diagnostic capability along with a reduction in testing time and initial investment cost.

Partial stroke testing This test checks for valve movement without fully stroking the valve. Many
applications will allow 10% movements to verify valve response without upsetting the critical process line.
Diagnostic data is collected and an alert is given if the valve is stuck.

Step response test This test analyzes overshoot, hysteresis, dead time, and stroking time.

Valve signature test This test can be used to benchmark valve performance by identifying friction, spring
rate, seating forces and bench set.

Automatic testing A scheduling and batch running tool within ValveLink Software can be used to automate multiple
diagnostic tests.
