The following parameters are contained in the the Instrument menu of the resource block.
Identification
•Device ID (DEVICE_ID [110]) is the unique 32 character ID used to identify the device..
•Electronics Serial Number (ELECTRONICS_SN [106]) is set at the factory.
•Factory Serial Number (FACTORY_SN [107]) is the instrument serial number set at the factory.
•Field Serial Number (FIELD_SN [108]) is the serial number of the valve and actuator on which the instrument is
mounted.
•Tag Description (TAG_DESC [2]) is unique description of each block within the digital valve controller, used to
describe the intended application for the block. Enter an up to 32 character description for the block in the Tag
Description field. (This parameter is read/write.)
•Strategy (STRATEGY [3]) permits strategic grouping of blocks so the operator can identify where the block is located.
The blocks may be grouped by plant area, plant equipment, etc. Enter a value between 0 and 65535 in the Strategy
field.
•Manufacturer (MANUFAC_ID [10]) identifies the manufacturer of the instrument. It is used by the host system to
locate the DD file for the device. For Fisher the Manufacturer ID is 0x5100.
•Device Type (DEV_TYPE [11]) identifies the type of device. It is used by the host system to locate the DD file for the
device. For a DVC6200f digital valve controller with Standard Control the device type is 0x4602.
Version
•Device Revision (DEV_REV [12]) identifies the device revision number. It is used by the host system to locate the DD
file for the device.
•Firmware Revision (FIRMWARE_REV_ALL [105.7]) shows all device firmware revisions currently in operation.
•Standby Firmware Revision (STBY_FIRMWARE_REV_ALL [111.7]) shows all device firmware revisions currently in
standby.
•Hardware Revision (HARDWARE_REV [83]) identifies the electronic hardware revision.
•ITK Version (ITK_VER [41]) identifies the major version of the Interoperability Tester used by the Fieldbus Foundation
in certifying the device as interoperable. This device revision meets the requirements of version 5.
