Description

DVC6200 digital valve controllers (figures 1‐1 and 1‐2) are communicating, microprocessor‐based
current‐to‐pneumatic instruments. In addition to the normal function of converting an input current signal to a
pneumatic output pressure, the DVC6200 digital valve controller, using the HARTr communications protocol, gives
easy access to information critical to process operation. You can gain information from the principal component of the
process, the control valve itself, using the Field Communicator at the valve, or at a field junction box, or by using a
personal computer or operator's console within the control room.
Using a personal computer and ValveLink software or AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager, or a Field Communicator,
you can perform several operations with the DVC6200 digital valve controller. You can obtain general information
concerning software revision level, messages, tag, descriptor, and date.
