Product Description
DVC6000 digital valve controllers (figure 1 and 2) are communicating, microprocessor‐based current‐to‐pneumatic
instruments. In addition to the traditional function of converting an input current signal to a pneumatic output
pressure, the DVC6000 digital valve controller communicate via HARTr protocol.
DVC6000 digital valve controllers are designed to directly replace standard pneumatic and electro‐pneumatic valve
mounted positioners.
Do not install, operate, or maintain a DVC6000 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 contents of this quick start guide, including all safety
cautions and warnings. If you have any questions about these instructions, contact your Emerson Process
Management sales office before proceeding.

Installation
The DVC6000 can be used with either air or natural gas as the supply medium. If using natural gas as the pneumatic
supply medium, natural gas will be used in the pneumatic output connections of the DVC6000 to any connected
equipment. In normal operation the unit will vent the supply medium into the surrounding atmosphere unless it is
remotely vented. When using natural gas as the supply medium, in a non‐hazardous location in a confined area,
remote venting of the unit is required. Failure to do so could result in personal injury, property damage, and area
re‐classification. For hazardous locations remote venting of the unit may be required, depending upon the area
classification, and as specified by the requirements of local, regional, and federal codes, rules and regulations. Failure
to do so when necessary could result in personal injury, property damage, and area re‐classification.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before proceeding
with any Installation procedures:
D Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear to prevent personal injury or property damage.
D Do not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
D Personal injury or property damage may result from fire or explosion if natural gas is used as the supply medium and
appropriate preventive measures are not taken. Preventive measures may include, but are not limited to, one or more
of the following: Remote venting of the unit, re‐evaluating the hazardous area classification, ensuring adequate
ventilation, and the removal of any ignition sources. For information on remote venting of this controller, refer to
page 20.
D Disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the
actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve.
D Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure. Relieve process pressure
from both sides of the valve.
D Use lock‐out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process
media.
D Vent the pneumatic actuator loading pressure and relieve any actuator spring precompression so the actuator is not
applying force to the valve stem; this will allow for the safe removal of the stem connector.
WARNING
To avoid static discharge from the plastic cover when flammable gases or dust are present, do not rub or clean the cover
with solvents. To do so could result in a spark that may cause the flammable gases or dust to explode, resulting in personal
injury or property damage. Clean with a mild detergent and water only.
WARNING
This unit vents the supply medium into the surrounding atmosphere. When installing this unit in a non‐hazardous
(non‐classified) location in a confined area, with natural gas as the supply medium, you must remotely vent this unit to a
safe location. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion, and area
re‐classification.
When installing this unit in a hazardous (classified) location remote venting of the unit may be required, depending upon
the area classification, and as specified by the requirements of local, regional, and federal codes, rules and regulations.

Failure to do so when necessary could result in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion, and area
re‐classification.
Vent line piping should comply with local and regional codes and should be as short as possible with adequate inside
diameter and few bends to reduce case pressure buildup.
In addition to remote venting of the unit, ensure that all caps and covers are correctly installed. Failure to do so could result
in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion, and area re‐classification.

WARNING
To avoid personal injury and property damage resulting from bursting of parts, do not exceed maximum supply pressure.
Personal injury or property damage may result from fire or explosion if natural gas is used as the supply medium and
appropriate preventive measures are not taken. Preventive measures may include, but are not limited to, one or more of
the following: Remote venting of the unit, re‐evaluating the hazardous area classification, ensuring adequate ventilation,
and the removal of any ignition sources. For information on remote venting of this controller, refer to page 20.
Severe personal injury or property damage may occur from an uncontrolled process if the instrument supply medium is not
clean, dry, oil‐free, and noncorrosive. While use and regular maintenance of a filter that removes particles larger than 40
micrometers in diameter will suffice in most applications, check with an Emerson Process Management field office and
industry instrument air quality standards for use with corrosive air or if you are unsure about the amount of air filtration or
filter maintenance.
WARNING
When using natural gas as the supply medium, or for explosion proof applications, the following warnings also apply:
D Remove electrical power before removing the housing cap. Personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion
may result if power is not disconnected before removing the cap.

Single‐Acting Actuators
When using a single‐acting direct digital valve controller (relay A or C) on a single‐acting actuator, connect OUTPUT A
to the actuator pneumatic input.
When using a single‐acting reverse digital valve controller (relay B) on a single‐acting actuator, connect OUTPUT B to
the actuator diaphragm casing.
Double‐Acting Actuators
DVC6000 digital valve controllers on double‐acting actuators always use relay A. With no input current, OUTPUT A is at
0 pressure and OUTPUT B is at full supply pressure when the relay is properly adjusted.
To have the actuator stem extend from the cylinder with increasing input signal, connect OUTPUT A to the upper
actuator cylinder connection. Connect OUTPUT B to the lower cylinder connection. Figure 15 shows the digital valve
controller connected to a double‐acting piston actuator.
To have the actuator stem retract into the cylinder with increasing input signal, connect OUTPUT A to the lower
actuator cylinder connection. Connect OUTPUT B to the upper cylinder connection.

Quick Start Guide DVC6000 Digital Valve Controller
D102762X012 July 2013
When installing this unit in a hazardous (classified) location remote venting of the unit may be required, depending upon
the area classification, and as specified by the requirements of local, regional, and federal codes, rules and regulations.
Failure to do so when necessary could result in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion, and area
re‐classification.
Vent line piping should comply with local and regional codes and should be as short as possible with adequate inside
diameter and few bends to reduce case pressure buildup.
In addition to remote venting of the unit, ensure that all caps and covers are correctly installed. Failure to do so could result
in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion, and area re‐classification.
The relay output constantly bleeds a small amount of supply medium into the area under the cover. The vent openings
at the back of the housing should be left open to prevent pressure buildup under the cover. If a remote vent is
required, the vent lines must be as short as possible with a minimum number of bends and elbows.
Note
Connect the digital valve controller to a 4‐20 mA current source for operation in the point‐to‐point wiring mode. In the
point‐to‐point wiring mode, the digital valve controller will not operate when connected to a voltage source.

HART Filter
Depending on the control system you are using, a HART filter may be needed to allow HART communication. The
HART filter is a passive device that is inserted in field wiring from the HART loop. The filter is normally installed near the
field wiring terminals of the control system I/O (see figure 17). Its purpose is to effectively isolate the control system
output from modulated HART communication signals and raise the impedance of the control system to allow HART
communication. For more information on the description and use of the HART filter, refer to the appropriate separate
HART filter instruction manual.

Before beginning Basic Setup, be sure the instrument is correctly mounted. Refer to the installation instructions
supplied with the mounting kit.
Connect a 4‐20 mA current source to the instrument. Connect the Field Communicator to the instrument and turn it
on. For information on connecting the Field Communicator, see Connecting the Field Communicator to the Digital
Valve Controller.
Typical Actuators
The Setup Wizard determines the required setup information based upon the actuator manufacturer and model
specified. Turn on the Field Communicator and start the Setup Wizard by proceeding through the menu sequence
shown in figure 19 or enter the fast‐key sequence 1‐1‐1 on the keypad. Follow the prompts on the Field Communicator
display to setup the instrument. If the actuator on which the instrument is mounted is not listed by the Setup Wizard,
specify OTHER as the actuator manufacturer or actuator type and refer to Non‐Typical Actuators.

WARNING
During calibration the valve will move full stroke. To avoid personal injury and property damage caused by the release of
process fluid or pressure, isolate the valve from the process and equalize pressure on both sides of the valve or bleed off the
process fluid.
After completing the setup information, travel is automatically calibrated. Follow the prompts on the Field
Communicator display. The calibration procedure uses the valve and actuator stops as the 0% and 100% calibration
points. For additional information, refer to Auto Calibrate Travel in this section.
When travel calibration is complete, you are asked if you wish to adjust the relay (double‐acting only). Select yes to
adjust the relay. For additional information, refer to Relay Adjustment in this section.
Non‐Typical Actuators
If the actuator on which the instrument is mounted is not listed during the Setup Wizard, specify OTHER as the
actuator manufacturer or actuator type. You are then prompted for setup parameters such as:
D Actuator Style (spring & diaphragm, piston double‐acting without spring, piston single‐acting with spring, piston
double‐acting with spring)
26
Quick Start Guide DVC6000 Digital Valve Controller
D102762X012 July 2013
D On Loss of Instrument Signal, Valve (opens or closes) This identifies whether the valve is fully open or fully closed
when the input is 0%. If you are unsure how to set this parameter, disconnect the current source to the instrument.
(With double‐acting and single‐acting direct digital valve controllers, disconnecting the current source is the same
as setting the output A pressure to zero. For single‐acting reverse digital valve controllers, disconnecting the
current source is the same as setting the output B pressure to supply.)
D Feedback Connection (Rotary ‐ All, SStem ‐ Standard, SStem ‐ Roller). For rotary valves, enter Rotary ‐ All. For
sliding‐stem valves, if the feedback linkage consists of a connector arm, adjustment arm, and feedback arm (similar
to figure 22), enter SStem ‐ Standard. If the feedback linkage consists of a roller that follows a cam (similar to figure
20), enter SStem ‐ Roller.

WARNING
If you answer YES to the prompt for permission to move the valve when determining travel sensor motion, the instrument
will move the valve through a significant portion of its travel range. To avoid personal injury and property damage caused
by the release of pressure or process fluid, provide some temporary means of control for the process.
D Travel Sensor Motion The Setup Wizard asks if it can move the valve to determine travel sensor motion. If you
answer Yes, the instrument will stroke the valve the full travel span to determine travel sensor motion. If you answer
No, then you must specify the rotation for increasing air pressure: clockwise or counterclockwise. Determine
rotation by viewing the end of the travel sensor shaft.
For instruments with relay A or C. If increasing air pressure at output A causes the shaft to turn clockwise, enter
Clockwise. If it causes the shaft to turn counterclockwise, enter Cntrclockwise.
27
DVC6000 Digital Valve Controller Quick Start Guide
July 2013 D102762X012
For instruments with relay B. If decreasing air pressure at output B causes the shaft to turn clockwise, enter
Clockwise. If it causes the shaft to turn counterclockwise, enter Cntrclockwise.
Note
Relay adjustment may be required before the Setup Wizard can determine travel sensor motion. Follow the prompts on the Field
Communicator display if relay adjustment is necessary.
D Volume Booster The Setup Wizard asks if a volume booster or quick release is present.
WARNING
Changes to the tuning set may cause the valve/actuator assembly to stroke. To avoid personal injury and property damage
caused by moving parts, keep hands, tools, and other objects away from the valve/actuator assembly.
D Tuning Set There are twelve tuning sets from which to choose. Each tuning set provides preselected values for the
digital valve controller gain and rate settings. Typically, tuning set B provides the slowest response and M provides
the fastest response. For smaller actuators, use tuning set C or D. For larger actuators, use tuning set F or G.
Note
Tuning set B is only available in Pressure Control Mode.
In addition, you can select User Adjusted or Expert, which allows you to modify tuning of the digital valve controller.
With User Adjusted you can specify the proportional gain. An algorithm in the Field Communicator calculates the
other gains. With Expert you can specify not only the proportional gain but the velocity and minor loop feedback gain
as well.
Note
Use Expert tuning only if standard tuning has not achieved the desired results.
Stabilize/Optimize or Performance Tuner may be used to achieve the desired results more rapidly than Expert tuning.
The tuning sets suggested by the Setup Wizard are only recommended starting points. After you finish setting up and
calibrating the instrument, run the Performance Tuner or use Stabilize/Optimize Tuning to obtain optimum tuning.
Factory Defaults
During basic setup, the Setup Wizard will ask you if you want to use factory defaults. If you select YES, the Setup
Wizard sets the setup parameters to the values listed in table 6. (Yes is recommended for initial setup). If you select
NO, the setup parameters listed in the table remain at their previous settings.

Relay Adjustment
The double‐acting relay can be adjusted as part of the Setup Wizard. The following is a brief description of relay
adjustment. For additional information, see the Calibration section in the DVC6000 instruction manual.
Note
Relay B and C are not user‐adjustable.
CAUTION
Care should be taken during relay adjustment as the adjustment disc may disengage if rotated too far.

The instrument is calibrated during the Setup Wizard. Follow the prompts on the Field Communicator display to
automatically calibrate instrument travel. The calibration procedure uses the valve and actuator stops as the 0% and
100% calibration points.
For additional calibration information, refer to the DVC6000 instruction manual.
1. If the Feedback Connection is Sliding‐Stem Standard, the Field Communicator prompts you to select the method of
crossover adjustment: manual, last value, or default. Manual adjustment is recommended for initial travel
calibration.
30

3. The remainder of the auto‐calibration procedure is automatic. After completing auto travel calibration, the Field
Communicator prompts you to place the instrument In Service and verify that the travel properly tracks the current
source.
If the unit does not calibrate, refer to table 7 for error messages and possible remedies.
If after completing setup and calibration the valve cycles or overshoots (unstable), or is unresponsive (sluggish), you
can improve operation by selecting either Performance Tuner or Stabilize/Optimize from the Guided Setup menu.
31
DVC6000 Digital Valve Controller Quick Start Guide
July 2013 D102762X012
Note
The Performance Tuner is not available for instrument level AC or HC.
WARNING
During performance tuning the valve may move, causing process fluid or pressure to be released. To avoid personal injury
and property damage caused by the release of process fluid or pressure, isolate the valve from the process and equalize
pressure on both sides of the valve or bleed off the process fluid.
The Performance Tuner is used to optimize digital valve controller tuning. It can be used on most sliding‐stem and
rotary designs, including Fisher and other manufacturers' products. Moreover, because the Performance Tuner can
detect internal instabilities before they become apparent in the travel response, it can generally optimize tuning more
effectively than manual tuning. Typically, the Performance Tuner takes 3 to 5 minutes to tune an instrument, although
tuning instruments mounted on larger actuators may take longer.
Access the Performance Tuner by selecting Performance Tuner from the Guided Setup menu. Follow the prompts on the
Field Communicator display to optimize digital valve controller tuning.
Note
Stabilize/Optimize is only available through the Guided Setup menu for instrument level HC.
WARNING
During Stabilize/Optimize the valve may move, causing process fluid or pressure to be released. To avoid personal injury
and property damage caused by the release of process fluid or pressure, isolate the valve from the process and equalize
pressure on both sides of the valve or bleed off the process fluid.
If after completing setup and calibration the valve seems slightly unstable or unresponsive, you can improve operation
by pressing the Hot Key and selecting Stabilize/Optimize, or select Stabilize/Optimize from the Guided Setup menu.
Stabilize/Optimize permits you to adjust valve response by changing the digital valve controller tuning.
If the valve is unstable, select Decrease Response to stabilize valve operation. This selects the next lower tuning set
(e.g., F to E). If the valve response is sluggish, select Increase Response to make the valve more responsive. This selects
the next higher tuning set (e.g., F to G).
If after selecting Decrease Response or Increase Response the valve travel overshoot is excessive you can adjust the
damping by selecting Decrease Damping or Increase Damping. By selecting Decrease Damping or Increase Damping the
