Instrument Description

DVC6200f digital valve controllers for F
In addition to the traditional function of converting a digital signal to a pneumatic output pressure, the DVC6200f
digital valve controller, using F
process operation as well as process control. This can be done using a DeltaVt console, another F
system console, or with ValveLink software version 10.2 or later.
Using a compatible fieldbus configuration device, you can obtain information about the health of the instrument, the
actuator, and the valve. You can also obtain asset information about the actuator or valve manufacturer, model, and
serial number. You can set input and output configuration parameters and calibrate the instrument.
Using the F fieldbus protocol, information from the instrument can be integrated into control systems.
OUNDATION
DVC6200f digital valve controllers can be mounted on single or double‐acting sliding‐stem actuators, as shown in
figure 1‐2, or on rotary actuators. It can also be integrally mounted to the Fisher GX control valve and actuator system,
as shown in figure 1‐3. The DVC6200f mounts on most Fisher and other manufacturers' rotary and sliding‐stem
actuators.
