Travel Alert High High Point
Value of the travel, in percent of ranged travel,
which, when exceeded, sets the Travel Alert Hi Hi
alert. Valid entries are -25% to 125%.
Travel Alert Low Point
Value of the travel, in percent of ranged travel,
which, when exceeded, sets the Travel Alert Lo
alert. Valid entries are -25% to 125%.
Travel Alert Low Low Point
Value of the travel, in percent of ranged travel,
which, when exceeded, sets the Travel Alert Lo Lo
alert. Valid entries are -25% to 125%.
Travel Cutoff
Defines the cutoff point for the travel, in percent
of ranged travel. There are two travel cutoffs:
high and low. Once travel exceeds the cutoff, the
drive signal is set to either maximum or
minimum, depending on the Zero Control Signal
and if the cutoff is high or low. Minimum opening
time or minimum closing time are not in effect
while the travel is beyond the cutoff. Use the
travel cutoff to obtain the desired seat load or to
be sure the valve is fully open.
Travel Deviation
The difference between the analog input signal
(in percent of ranged input), the "target" travel,
and the actual "ranged" travel.
Travel Deviation Alert
Checks the difference between the target and the
ranged travel. If the difference exceeds the Travel
Deviation Alert Point for more than the Travel
Deviation Time, the Travel Deviation Alert is
active. It remains active until the difference is less
than the Travel Deviation Alert Point.

Travel Deviation Alert Point
An adjustable value for the target travel and the
ranged travel difference, expressed in percent,
When this value is exceeded by the travel
deviation for more than the Travel Deviation
Time, the Travel Deviation Alert is active. Valid
entries are 0% to 100%. Typically this is set to 5%.
Travel Deviation Time
The time, in seconds. that the travel deviation
must exceed the Travel Deviation Alert Point
before the alert is active. Valid entries are 1 to 60
seconds.
Travel Limit
A setup parameter that defines the maximum
allowable travel (in percent of ranged travel) for
the valve. During operation, the travel target will
not exceed this limit. There are two travel limits:
high and low. Typically the travel limit low will be
used to keep the valve from going completely
closed.
Travel Range
Travel, in percent of calibrated travel, that
corresponds to the input range.
Travel Sensor
A device within the FIELDVUE instrument that
senses valve stem or shaft movement. The travel
sensor in the DVC6200 is the Hall Effect sensor
that measures the position of the magnetic
assembly.
Travel Sensor Motion
Increasing or decreasing air pressure causes the
magnet assembly to move up or down or the
rotary shaft to turn clockwise or
counterclockwise. The Setup Wizard asks if it can
move the valve to determine travel.
