Some of the procedures also contain the sequence of
numeric keys required to display the desired Field
Communicator menu. For example, to access the
Setup Wizard, from the Online menu, press 1 (selects
Configure / Setup) followed by a second 1 (selects
Basic Setup) followed by a third 1 (selects Setup
Wizard). The key sequence in the procedure heading
is shown as (1-1-1). The path required to accomplish
various tasks, the sequence of steps through the Field
Communicator menus, is also presented in textual
format. Menu selections are shown in italics, e.g.,
Calibrate. An overview of the Field Communicator
menu trees are shown at the beginning of this manual.
Note
475 Field Communicator menu
sequences used in this manual are for
instrument level HC, AD, PD, and ODV.
Refer to the AC menu tree at the
beginning of this manual for AC menu
sequences.
Description
DVC6200 digital valve controllers (figures 1-1 and 1-2)
are communicating, microprocessor-based
current-to-pneumatic instruments. In addition to the
normal function of converting an input current signal to
a pneumatic output pressure, the DVC6200 digital
valve controller, using the HARTr communications
protocol, gives easy access to information critical to
process operation. You can gain information from the
principal component of the process, the control valve
itself, using the Field Communicator at the valve, or at
a field junction box, or by using a personal computer
or operator's console within the control room.
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.

Figure 1-2. FIELDVUE DVC6200 Digital Valve Controller
Integrally Mounted to a Fisher GX Control Valve
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.
Specifications
Refer to table 1-2 for specifications.
Incorrect configuration of a
positioning instrument could result in
the malfunction of the product,
property damage or personal injury.
Specifications for DVC6200 digital valve controllers
are shown in table 1-2. Specifications for the Field
Communicator can be found in the product manual for
the Field Communicator.
