The FIELDVUE DVC6200 digital valve controller is a core component of the PlantWebt digital plant architecture. The
digital valve controller powers PlantWeb by capturing and delivering valve diagnostic data. Coupled with ValveLinkt
software, the DVC6200 provides users with an accurate picture of valve performance, including actual stem position,
instrument input signal and pneumatic pressure to the actuator. Using this information, the digital valve controller
diagnoses not only itself, but also the valve and actuator to which it is mounted.

Mounting Guidelines
If ordered as part of a control valve assembly, the factory will mount the digital valve controller on the actuator and
calibrate the instrument. If you purchased the digital valve controller separately, you will need a mounting kit to
mount the digital valve controller on the actuator. The following procedures are general guidelines that you should
consider when mounting the digital valve controller. See the instructions that come with the mounting kit for detailed
information on mounting the digital valve controller to a specific actuator model.
The DVC6200 housing is available in two different configurations, depending on the actuator mounting method.
Figure 2 shows the available configurations. The feedback system for the DVC6200 digital valve controller utilizes a
magnetic assembly for true linkage‐less, non‐contacting position measurement. In order to prevent inadvertent stem
movement while the instrument is in operation, magnetic tools (such as a magnetic‐tipped screwdriver) should not be
used.
Note
The magnet assembly may be referred to as a magnetic array in user interface tools.

CAUTION
The magnet assembly material has been specifically chosen to provide a long‐term stable magnetic field.
However, as with any magnet, care must be taken when handling the magnet assembly. Another high powered magnet
placed in close proximity (less than 25 mm) can cause permanent damage. Potential sources of damaging equipment
include, but are not limited to: transformers, DC motors, stacking magnet assemblies.

CAUTION
Note
As a general rule, do not use less than 60% of the magnet assembly travel range for full travel measurement. Performance will
decrease as the assembly is increasingly subranged.
The linear magnet assemblies have a valid travel range indicated by arrows molded into the piece. This means that the hall sensor
(on the back of the DVC6200 housing) has to remain within this range throughout the entire valve travel. See figure 3. The linear
magnet assemblies are symmetrical. Either end may be up.

Note
Make pressure connections to the digital valve controller using tubing with at least 10 mm (3/8‐inch) diameter.
Supply
The DVC6200 can be used with air as the supply medium. In addition, Gas Certified DVC6200 constructions can be
used with 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 DVC6200 to any connected equipment. In normal operation the unit
will vent the supply medium into the surrounding atmosphere unless it is remotely vented.
WARNING
Not all DVC6200 digital valve controllers are suitable for use with natural gas as the supply medium. If using natural gas as
the supply medium, the DVC6200 must be Gas Certified. Using natural gas as the supply medium in a non‐certified
instrument can result in personal injury or property damage.
Gas Certified instruments can be identified by the natural gas approval label shown in figure 18. Contact your Emerson
Process Management sales office for information on obtaining a Gas Certified DVC6200 digital valve controller.
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or property damage resulting from bursting or 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.
Supply pressure must be clean, dry air that meets the requirements of ISA Standard 7.0.01. A maximum 40
micrometer particle size in the air system is acceptable. Further filtration down to 5 micrometer particle size is
recommended. Lubricant content is not to exceed 1 ppm weight (w/w) or volume (v/v) basis. Condensation in the air
supply should be minimized.
Alternatively, natural gas may be used as the supply pressure medium in Gas Certified DVC6200 digital valve
controllers. Gas must be clean, dry, oil‐free, and noncorrosive. H2S content should not exceed 20 ppm.
19
DVC6200 Digital Valve Controller Quick Start Guide
November 2011 D103410X012
If you are using a 67CFR filter regulator with standard 5 micrometer filter, connect the supply line to the 1/4 NPT IN
connection and attach tubing from the output connection on the filter regulator to the SUPPLY connection on the
instrument. If you are using an integral mounted 67CFR filter regulator, connect the supply to the IN connection on
the regulator.
Output Connection
A factory mounted digital valve controller has its output piped to the supply connection on the actuator. If mounting
the digital valve controller in the field, connect the 1/4 NPT digital valve controller output connection to the
pneumatic actuator input connection.
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
DVC6200 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. 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.
Vent
WARNING
Personal injury or property damage can occur from cover failure due to overpressure. Ensure that the housing vent
opening is open and free of debris to prevent pressure buildup under the cover.
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, should be as short as possible with a minimum inside
diameter of 12.7 mm (1/2‐inch), 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 constantly bleeds a small amount of supply medium into the area under the cover. The vent opening, located
below the wiring terminal box on the side 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.
To connect a remote vent, remove the plastic vent. The vent connection is 3/8 NPT. At a minimum, 12.7 mm
(1/2‐inch) tubing should be used when installing a remote vent to prevent excessive pressure from building up under
the cover.

WARNING
To avoid personal injury resulting from electrical shock, do not exceed maximum input voltage specified in table 9 of this
quick start guide, or on the product nameplate. If the input voltage specified differs, do not exceed the lowest specified
maximum input voltage.
Personal injury or property damage caused by fire or explosion may occur if this connection is attempted in a potentially
explosive atmosphere or in an area that has been classified as hazardous. Confirm that area classification and atmosphere
conditions permit the safe removal of the terminal box cover before proceeding.
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.

5. Replace and hand tighten the terminal box cap. To secure the terminal box cap engage the lock screw. When the
loop is ready for startup, apply power to the control system output channel.
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 20). 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.
To determine if your system requires a filter contact your Emerson Process Management sales office.

supplying a 4‐20 mA signal.
Setup Wizard
Field Communicator Configure/Setup > Basic Setup > Setup Wizard (1‐1‐1)
Typical Actuators
The Setup Wizard determines the required setup information based upon the actuator manufacturer and model
specified. 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 by 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
D Zero Power Condition 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.)
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 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.
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 direction of travel movement. For quarter‐turn actuators determine rotation
direction by viewing the rotation of the magnet assembly from the back of the instrument.
For instruments with relay A or C if increasing air pressure at output A causes the magnet assembly to move down
or the rotary shaft to turn clockwise, enter CW/To Bottom Inst. If it causes the magnet assembly to move up, or the
rotary shaft to turn counterclockwise, enter CCW/To Top Inst.
For instruments with relay B if decreasing air pressure at output B causes the magnet assembly to move down, or
the rotary shaft to turn clockwise, enter CW/To Bottom Inst. If it causes the magnet assembly to move up, or the
rotary shaft to turn counterclockwise, enter CCW/To Top Inst.
Note
Relay A 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 valve 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.
26
Quick Start Guide DVC6200 Digital Valve Controller
D103410X012 November 2011
D Tuning Set there are twelve tuning sets to choose from. Each tuning set provides preselected values for the digital
valve controller gain and rate settings. Typically, tuning set C 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 use Stabilize/Optimize to obtain optimum tuning.
Factory Defaults
During Basic Setup, the Setup Wizard asks 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.
Note
Relay B and C are not user‐adjustable.
Rotate the adjustment disc, shown in figure 22, until the value displayed on the Field Communicator is between 50
and 70% of supply pressure. This adjustment is very sensitive. Be sure to allow the pressure reading to stabilize before
making another adjustment (stabilization may take up to 30 seconds or more for larger actuators).
ADJUSTMENT DISC
FOR DOUBLE‐ACTING RELAYS:
ROTATE ADJUSTMENT DISC IN
THIS DIRECTION TO INCREASE
OUTPUT PRESSURE
W9034
If the low bleed relay option has been ordered stabilization may take approximately two minutes longer than the
standard relay.
Relay A may also be adjusted for use in single‐acting direct applications. Rotate the adjustment disc as shown in figure
22 for single‐acting direct operation.
28
Quick Start Guide DVC6200 Digital Valve Controller
D103410X012 November 2011
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.
After completing auto 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.
29

If the instrument output did go from zero to full supply prior to receiving this message, then verify
proper mounting by referring to the appropriate mounting procedure in the Installation section.
Drive signal exceed low limit; check supply 1. Check supply pressure (reverse‐acting relay)
pressure 2. Friction is too high.
Drive signal exceed high limit; check supply 1. Check supply pressure (direct‐acting relay)

Performance Tuner
Configure/Setup > Basic Setup > Performance Tuner (1‐1‐2)
Field Communicator
Configure/Setup > Detailed Setup > Response Control > Tuning > Travel Tuning > Performance Tuner (1‐2‐2‐1‐1‐5)
Note
Performance Tuner is available for instrument level AD, PD, and ODV.
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 determine digital valve controller tuning. It will move the valve slightly and monitor
the effects of small tuning changes until an optimum control response is achieved. 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.

Note
Stabilize/Optimize is available for instrument level HC, AD, PD, and ODV.
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.
If after completing setup and calibration the valve seems slightly unstable or unresponsive, you can improve operation
by by stabilizing or optimizing the valve response.
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. Select Decrease Damping to select a damping value that
allows more overshoot. Select Increase Damping to select a damping value that will decrease the overshoot. When
finished, select done.

DVC6200 Digital Valve Controller Quick Start Guide
November 2011 D103410X012
Specifications
Refer to table 8 for details on the capabilities of each diagnostic level and table 9 for product specifications.
Product Description
The DVC6200 digital valve controller (figure 33) is a communicating, microprocessor‐based current‐to‐pneumatic
instrument. In addition to the traditional function of converting an input current signal to a pneumatic output
pressure, the DVC6200 digital valve controller communicates via HART protocol.
The DVC6200 digital valve controller is designed to directly replace standard pneumatic and electro‐pneumatic valve
mounted positioners.
The DVC6200 digital valve controller can be setup and calibrated using the Field Communicator, as described in this
guide, or a personal computer and ValveLink software version 10.2 or later or AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager.
For information on using ValveLink software or AMS Device Manager with a FIELDVUE instrument, refer to the
appropriate documentation or online help.
