Setup Wizard - Fisher FIELDVUE DVC6200 Instruction Manual

mounts the digital valve controller and sets up the
instrument as specified on the order. When mounting
to a valve in the field, the instrument needs to be
setup to match the instrument to the valve and
actuator.
Before beginning Basic Setup, be sure the instrument
is correctly mounted as described in the Installation
section.

Setup Wizard (1-1-1)

To have the Field Communicator automatically setup
the instrument using specified actuator information,
from the Online Menu select Configure / Setup, Basic
Setup, and Setup Wizard. Follow the prompts on the
Field Communicator display to setup the instrument.
Table 4-5 provides the actuator information required to
setup and calibrate the instrument.
1. Enter the instrument family; select DVC6200.
2. Select travel or pressure control. Travel control is
the typical mode of operation.
3. Enter the pressure units: psi, bar, kPa, or kg/cm
4. Enter the maximum instrument supply pressure.
After entering the maximum instrument supply
pressure, the Setup Wizard prompts you for actuator
information.
5. Enter the manufacturer of the actuator on which
the instrument is mounted. If the actuator
manufacturer is not listed, select Other.
6. Enter the actuator model or type. If the actuator
model is not listed, select Other.
7. Enter the actuator size.
8. Select whether the valve is open or closed under
the zero power condition.
9. Specify if a volume booster or quick release valve
is present.
10. Specify if factory defaults should be used for basic
setup. If you select YES for factory default, the Field
Communicator sets the setup parameters to the
values listed in table 3-1. If you select NO for the
factory defaults, the setup parameters listed in the
table remain at their previous settings.
Typically the Setup Wizard determines the required
setup information based upon the actuator
manufacturer and model specified. However, if you
enter other for the actuator manufacturer or the
actuator model, then you will be prompted for setup
parameters such as:
Actuator style (spring & diaphragm, piston
September 2010
double-acting without spring, piston single-acting with
spring, piston double-acting with spring),
Valve style (rotary or sliding-stem),
On Loss of Instrument Signal (valve opens or
closes), see Zero Power Condition in the Detailed
Setup section.
If you answer YES to the prompt for
permission to move the valve when
the Field Communicator is
determining the travel sensor array
motion, the instrument will move the
valve through its full travel range. To
avoid personal injury and property
damage caused by the release of
pressure or process fluid, isolate the
valve from the process and equalize
pressure on both sides of the valve or
bleed off the process fluid.

.
Travel Sensor motion (increasing or decreasing air
pressure causes the magnet assembly to move up or
down or the rotary shaft to turn clockwise or
counterclockwise) The Setup Wizard asks if it can
move the valve to determine travel sensor array
motion. If you answer Yes, the instrument will stroke
the valve the full travel span to determine travel
sensor motion. If you answer No, then you must
specify the direction of travel movement. For
quarter-turn actuators determine rotation direction by
viewing the end of the actuator shaft. (see Travel
Sensor Motion in the Detailed Setup section).
Volume booster (indicate if volume booster or quick
release valve is present)
Tuning set (see Tuning Set in the Detailed Setup
section).
After completing the setup information, you will be
prompted to run auto calibration. Follow the prompts
on the Field Communicator display. The calibration
procedure uses the valve and actuator stops as the
0% and 100% calibration points. For additional
information, refer to Auto Calibration on page 54.
If a double-acting relay is used, you will be prompted
to run the relay adjustment when auto calibration is
selected. Select Yes to adjust the relay. For additional
information refer to Relay Adjustment on page 58.
If after completing the Setup Wizard the valve seems
slightly unstable or unresponsive, you can improve
operation by selecting either Performance Tuner or
Stabilize/Optimize.
