Transducer Block

This section contains information on the DVC6200f digital valve controller transducer block. Descriptions of all
transducer block parameters are included. The transducer block decouples function blocks from the local output
functions required to command output hardware. The transducer block typically contains setup and calibration
information.

Alert Conditions
Instrument Alert Conditions, when enabled, detect many operational and performance issues that may be of interest.
If there are no alerts active for a particular group the group will not be displayed on the Field Communicator.
Refer to Alerts on page 55 in Detailed Setup for alerts and alert conditions.
Note
Additional details on setting up and using Field Diagnostic Alerts can be found in Appendix C of this manual.
Status
Self Test Status (SELFTEST_STATUS [97])
•Integrator Limited Lo indicates the integrator reached its limit and cannot move the valve any further. High valve
friction may cause this situation.
•Integrator Limited Hi indicates the integrator reached its limit and cannot move the valve any further. High valve
friction may cause this situation.
•Travel Sensor Span Error indicates that span between the endpoints of travel are not far enough apart. This error is
reported during automatic calibration.
•MLFB Error indicates that the Minor Loop Feedback sensor gave a non‐valid value during automatic calibration.
•Travel Sensor Hi Error indicates the travel sensor has reported a travel position that is significantly above the normal
operating range, and has failed.
•Travel Sensor Lo Error indicates the travel sensor has reported a travel position that is significantly below the normal
operating range, and has failed.
•Pressure B Sensor Failure indicates the pressure sensor is reporting a pressure that is significantly outside of the
normal operating pressure, and has failed.
•Pressure A Sensor Failure indicates the pressure sensor is reporting a pressure that is significantly outside of the
normal operating pressure, and has failed.
