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.
Diagnostic information is available to aid you when troubleshooting. Input and output configuration parameters can
be set, and the digital valve controller can be calibrated. Refer to table 1‐1 for details on the capabilities of each
diagnostic tier.
Using the HART protocol, information from the field can be integrated into control systems or be received on a single
loop basis.
The DVC6200 digital valve controller is designed to directly replace standard pneumatic and electro‐pneumatic valve
mounted positioners.
