Use the Performance Tuner to easily optimize tuning

The Performance Tuner lets you easily adjust a FIELDVUE digital valve controller for optimum performance. When

mounting a FIELDVUE digital valve controller, to either a Fisher or a non‐Fisher valve, the Performance Tuner can

optimize valve performance for you.

Performance Diagnostics provide in‐service diagnostics for

monitoring the health of the valve assembly without

disturbing the process

Performance Diagnostics (PD) provides predictive in‐service diagnostics for monitoring the health of the valve

assembly and customized diagnostics for advanced troubleshooting. Performance Diagnostics continuously analyze

the valve assembly and passively gather data without disturbing or interrupting the control valve while it is in the

process.

PD may be used to help detect problems with air leakage, valve assembly friction and deadband, instrument air

quality, loose connections, supply pressure restriction, and valve assembly calibration. When a problem is identified,

the diagnostic provides a description and severity of the problem, a probable cause, and recommended action.

In‐service diagnostics for troubleshooting allow custom diagnostics to be set up to collect data at a high‐frequency

collection rate and present the data in a graphical format.

Performance Diagnostics provide on‐line/in‐service

predictive diagnostics to identify faults and list possible

causes and recommended corrective actions for each fault

Provide Real‐Time Notification of Current and Potential

Valve and Instrument Problems using Performance

Diagnostics

Performance Diagnostics

enables the use of

diagnostics while the valve is

in‐service and operating.

Tests can be performed to

identify problems with the

entire control valve

assembly, such as:

H Red/Yellow/Green condition

indicator - provides a quick

visual indication of the

following:

G the physical condition of

the FIELDVUE instrument

I/P and relay components

G instrument air supply pressure

and volume

G relay adjustment on double acting

piston actuators

G the total air received and used by

the instrument, and

G why a valve assembly is deviating

from the set point

H PD One Button is a sweep of the above tests.

When the sweep is complete, ValveLink software

will show any errors, possible causes, and

recommended actions to resolve the error(s).

H Friction and Deadband Trending

Performance Diagnostics are available upon user

request or may be scheduled to automatically run

on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

Diagnostic tests, such as the Valve Signature Diagnostic

example shown here, help you detect emerging valve

repair requirements before they impact performance

ValveLink software enables simultaneous

multiple overlay of tests (up to ten). This

allows you to trend valve history.

Provide validation of assembly rebuild and detailed insight

into the physical condition of the valve/actuator assembly

Performance Diagnostics vary the digital valve controller set point and plot valve operation to provide insight into the

dynamic performance of the valve/actuator assembly. Out‐of‐service diagnostics such as valve signature, dynamic

error band, and step response assist in the identification of emerging valve problems quickly and accurately.

Out‐of‐service diagnostics are optimally run as part of a plant shutdown.

The Valve Signature diagnostic is used to:

H Evaluate valve friction, deadband, and

shutoff capability.

H Calculate actuator spring rate and

bench set.

H Identify potential packing problems.

H Compare current condition to previous

baseline condition.

H Signature Analyzer enables rapid analysis of the Valve

Signature to more efficiently manage your plant assets. Based

on default or user defined settings, Signature Analyzer provides

pass/fail results for Maximum Friction, Minimum Friction,

Stem Integrity, and Stick Slip, enabling better documentation

for required maintenance or validation of valve repairs.

The Dynamic Error Band diagnostic is used to

analyze hysteresis, deadband, and dynamic error.

Use the step response test to verify instrument

tuning and valve response to signal changes

A performance step test provides a predefined

sequence of 25 steps. This test allows the user to

quickly evaluate valve and actuator response to

signal change and determine maximum

deadband.

At the same time the instrument performs the partial

stroke test, ValveLink software also gathers diagnostic

data. Use this data to evaluate valve performance and

determine if maintenance is required.

The Step Response diagnostic allows you to evaluate how well the valve tracks an input change. By minimizing dead

time, deadband, and overshoot, process control is greatly enhanced. With the Step Response test you can:

H Validate tuning parameters.

H Obtain a numerical analysis for overshoot,

hysteresis, dead time, t63, and t86.

H Define up to 30 steps.

Setup and test FIELDVUE instruments for Safety

Instrumented System (SIS) Solutions

Use ValveLink software to set up and test

the final control element in safety instrumented

system applications. ValveLink software for

DVC6000 SIS digital valve controllers provides:

H A Setup Wizard to set up the digital valve

controller for use in a Safety Instrumented

System. ValveLink software provides a

pneumatic hookup representation to help

ensure tubing is correctly connected.

H The capability to initiate a partial stroke test

of the final control element without requiring a

process shutdown. You can run a partial stroke

test to prove the valve will respond on demand.

Store partial stroke test results for future comparison

and study. You can also initiate the test by shorting

the AUX Terminal in the field with a push button

located at the device, or remotely from the valve.

A Trigger event, based on one of eight process

variables, documents a “Safety Demand” event

when used in a safety instrumented system

H A Signature Analyzer to automate diagnostics results

of Valve Signature and Partial Stroke diagnostic data.

The Signature Analyzer uses a set of user configurable

limits to help determine possible issues with the valve

assembly, such as a broken shaft or stem.

H A Trigger event that allows you to log the “Safety

Demand” event while storing pre‐event and post‐event

data. Trip event data can be accessed for an audit and

presented to regulatory or insurance authorities.

The Trigger functionality allows data to be collected and

stored in the microprocessor memory of the digital valve

controller. Trip event data can be accessed for an audit

and presented to a regulatory or insurance authority. The

trigger will initiate on‐board data collection based on a

change in actuator pressure, valve travel, input current,

pressure differential, travel deviation, or travel cutoff.

The data is stored on board the device for later retrieval,

and is retained in the event of a power loss.

Every event performed with ValveLink software is

logged with a time and date stamp to document that

tests were run and how the valve assembly responded.

H Diagnostic information to allow predictive maintenance of the final control element. No need to unnecessarily

shutdown the process to perform maintenance on the safety shutdown valve.

H The capability to monitor the health of a solenoid valve downstream of the digital valve controller. This can improve

safety reliability and provide assurance that the solenoid valve is not stuck in the open position.

H ValveLink Solo Event Messenger capability

to send notification via email, pager, or cell phone

if a specific alert, or set of alerts, occurs on

a predefined set of safety shutdown valves.

Use Batch Runner to automate diagnostic tests and other repetitive activities

With Batch Runner you can setup

ValveLink software to automatically run

diagnostic tests, calibrate, or upload

configuration data from multiple valves

with a user specified routine. During a

turnaround or production change, you

can download firmware, upload

configurations, run the Performance

Tuner to optimize tuning, or even reset

the instrument clock without any

interaction by personnel.

Batch Runner increases efficiency by

allowing you to set up a batch once, and

repeatedly run that set of actions on

different groups of valve assemblies.
