D Confirm Time—Confirm Time (CONFIRM_TIME [33]) determines the time, in 1/32 of a millisecond, the instrument
waits for confirmation of receipt of a report before trying again. If Confirm Time is 0, the instrument does not retry
to send the report. Enter 0 or a value between 320000 (10 secs) and 640000 (20 secs).
D Limit Notify—Limit Notify (LIM_NOTIFY [32]) is the number of alert reports that the device can send without getting
a confirmation up to the maximum permitted in Maximum Notify (MAX_NOTIFY [31]). If Limit Notify is set to zero,
no alerts are reported. Enter a value between 0 and 3.
To have the instrument report alerts without having the host poll the alerts parameters, select the Reports feature
(see Feature Select).
D Maximum Notify—Maximum Notify (MAX_NOTIFY [31]) indicates the maximum number of alert reports that the
device can send without getting a confirmation. This limit is determined by the amount of memory available for
alert messages. The number can be set lower, to control alert flooding, by adjusting Maximum Alerts Allowed
(LIM_NOTIFY [32]).
D Block Alarm Disabled—The Block Alarm (BLOCK_ALM [36]) is used for all configuration, hardware, connection failure
or system problems in the block. Alarm Summary (ALARM_SUM [37]) determines if the Write Alarm (WRITE_ALM
[40]) and Block Alarm [BLOCK_ALM [36]) are disabled.
D Block Alarm Auto Acknowledge—Acknowledge Option (ACK_OPTION [38]) determines if the block alarm will be
automatically acknowledged.
D Discrete Alarm Disabled—The Write Alarm (WRITE_ALM [40]) is used to alert when parameters are writeable to the
device. Alarm Summary (ALARM_SUM [37]) determines if the Discrete Alarm is disabled.
D Discrete Alarm Auto Acknowledge—Acknowledge Option (ACK_OPTION [38]) determines if the Write Alarm
associated with the block will be automatically acknowledged.

D Device ID—The 32 character Device ID (DEVICE_ID [54]).
D Electronics Serial Number—The Electronics Serial Number (ELECTRONICS_SN [49]) set at the factory.
D Factory Serial Number—The Factory Serial Number (FACTORY_SN [50]) is the instrument serial number set at the
factory.
D Field Serial Number——The Field Serial Number (FIELD_SN [51]) is the serial number of instrument assigned in field.
D Tag Description—The Tag Description (TAG_DESC [2]) is used to assign a unique 32 character description to each
block within the digital valve controller to describe the intended application for the block.
D Strategy—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.
D Manufacturer—Manufacturer Identification (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.
D Device Type—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 the device type is 0x4602.
