Analog In
Analog Input shows the value of the instrument analog input in mA (milliamperes) or % (percent) of ranged input.
Setpoint
Setpoint shows the requested valve position in % of ranged travel post characterization.
Travel
Travel shows the value of the DVC6200 digital valve controller travel in % (percent) of ranged travel. Travel always
represents how far the valve is open.
Drive Signal
Drive Signal shows the value of the instrument drive signal in % (percent) of maximum drive.
Pressure
Shows the value of the instrument supply and output pressures in psi, bar, kPa, or kg/cm
pressure differential. To display pressures may require selecting the variable; a detail display of that variable with its
values will appear.
D Pressure A— Shows the value of Output Pressure A in psi, bar, kPa, or kg/cm
D Pressure B— Shows the value of Output Pressure B in psi, bar, kPa, or kg/cm
D A Minus B—Shows the value of the output pressure differential in psi, bar, kPa, or kg/cm
D Supply —Displays the instrument supply pressure in psi ,bar, kPa, or kg/cm
Variables
The Variables menu is available to view additional variables, including; Auxiliary Input, Temperature, Maximum Recorded
Temperature, Minimum Recorded Temperature, Cycle Counter, Travel Accumulator, Raw Travel Input, View Numbers of Days
Powered Up, and Number of Power Ups.
If a value for a variable does not appear on the display, select the variable and a detailed display of that variable with its
value will appear. A variable's value does not appear on the menu if the value becomes too large to fit in the allocated
space on the display, or if the variable requires special processing, such as Aux Input.
