this manual, including all safety cautions and warnings. If you have any questions about these instructions, contact your Emerson sales office before proceeding.

Specifications
This product was intended for a specific range of service conditions--pressure, pressure drop, process and ambient temperature, temperature variations, process fluid, and possibly other specifications. Do not expose the product to service conditions or variables other than those for which the product was intended. If you are not sure what these conditions or variables are, contact your Emerson sales office for assistance. Provide the product serial number and all other pertinent information that you have available.

Inspection and Maintenance Schedules
All products must be inspected periodically and maintained as needed. The schedule for inspection can only be determined based on the severity of your service conditions.

In order to avoid increasing dust explosion risk, periodically clean dust deposits from all equipment.
When equipment is installed in a hazardous area location (potentially explosive atmosphere), prevent sparks by proper tool selection and avoiding other types of impact energy. Control Valve surface temperature is dependent upon process operating conditions.
WARNING
Control valve surface temperature is dependent upon process operating conditions. Personal injury or property damage, caused by fire or explosion, can result if the valve body surface temperature exceeds the acceptable temperature for the hazardous area classification. To avoid an increase of instrumentation and/or accessory surface temperature due to process operating conditions, ensure adequate ventilation, shielding, or insulation of control valve components installed in a potentially hazardous or explosive atmosphere.

Parts Ordering
Whenever ordering parts for older products, always specify the serial number of the product and provide all other pertinent information that you can, such as product size, part material, age of the product, and general service conditions.

Installation
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before mounting the product:
DDo not install any system component where service conditions could exceed the limits given in this manual or the limits on the appropriate nameplates. Use pressure-relieving devices as required by government or accepted industry codes and good engineering practices.
DAlways wear protective gloves, clothing, and eyewear when performing any installation operations.
DDo not remove the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
DDisconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve.
DUse bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure. Relieve process pressure from both sides of the valve.
DVent the pneumatic actuator loading pressure and relieve any actuator spring precompression so the actuator is not applying force to the valve stem; this will allow for the safe removal of the stem connector.
DUse lock-out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
DThe valve packing box might contain process fluids that are pressurized, even when the valve has been removed from the pipeline. Process fluids might spray out under pressure when removing the packing hardware or packing rings, or when loosening the packing box pipe plug. Cautiously remove parts so that fluid escapes slowly and safely.
DThe instrument is capable of supplying full supply pressure to connected equipment. To avoid personal injury and equipment damage, caused by sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts, make sure the supply pressure never exceeds the maximum safe working pressure of any connected equipment.
DSevere personal injury or property damage may occur from an uncontrolled process if the instrument air supply is not clean, dry and oil-free, or noncorrosive gas. While use and regular maintenance of a filter that removes particles larger than 40 microns will suffice in most applications, check with an Emerson Automation Solutions field office and Industry Instrument air quality standards for use with corrosive gas or if you are unsure about the proper amount or method of air filtration or filter maintenance.
DFor corrosive media, make sure the tubing and instrument components that contact the corrosive media are of suitable corrosiion-resistant material. The use of unsuitable materials might result in personal injury or property damage due to the uncontrolled release of the corrosive media.
DIf natural gas or other flammable or hazardous gas is to be used as the supply pressure medium and preventive measures are not taken, personal injury and property damage could result from fire or explosion of accumulated gas or from contact with hazardous gas. Preventive measures may include, but are not limited to: Remote venting of the unit, re-evaluating the hazardous area classification, ensuring adequate ventilation, and the removal of any ignition sources.
DTo avoid personal injury or property damage resulting from the sudden release of process pressure, use a high-pressure regulator system when operating the controller or transmitter from a high-pressure source.
The instrument or instrument/actuator assembly does not form a gas-tight seal, and when the assembly is in an enclosed area, a remote vent line, adequate ventilation, and necessary safety measures should be used. Vent line piping should comply with local and regional codes and should be as short as possible with adequate inside diameter and few bends to reduce case pressure buildup. However, a remote vent pipe alone cannot be relied upon to remove all hazardous gas, and leaks may still occur.
DPersonal injury or property damage can result from the discharge of static electricity when flammable or hazardous gases are present. Connect a 14 AWG (2.08 mm2) ground strap between the instrument and earth ground when flammable or hazardous gases are present. Refer to national and local codes and standards for grounding requirements.
DPersonal injury or property damage caused by fire or explosion may occur if electrical connections are attempted in an area that contains a potentially explosive atmosphere or has been classified as hazardous. Confirm that area classification and atmosphere conditions permit the safe removal of covers before proceeding.

DFor instruments with a hollow liquid level displacer, the displacer might retain process fluid or pressure. Personal injury or property damage due to sudden release of pressure, contact with hazardous fluid, fire, or explosion can be caused by puncturing, heating, or repairing a displacer that is retaining process pressure or fluid. This danger may not be readily apparent when disassembling the sensor or removing the displacer. Before disassembling the sensor or removing the displacer, observe the appropriate warnings provided in the sensor instruction manual.
DPersonal injury or property damage, caused by fire or explosion from the leakage of flammable or hazardous gas, can result if a suitable conduit seal is not installed. For explosion-proof applications, install the seal no more than 457 mm (18 inches) from the instrument when required by the nameplate. For ATEX applications use the proper cable gland certified to the required category. Equipment must be installed per local and national electric codes.
DCheck with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process media.
DIf installing into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING in the Maintenance section.

Special Instructions for Safe Use and Installations in Hazardous Locations
Certain nameplates may carry more than one approval, and each approval may have unique installation requirements and/or conditions of safe use. Special instructions are listed by agency/approval. To get these instructions, contact Emerson sales office. Read and understand these special conditions of use before installing.
WARNING
Failure to follow conditions of safe use could result in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion, or area re-classification.

Operation
With instruments, switches, and other accessories that are controlling valves or other final control elements, it is possible to lose control of the final control element when you adjust or calibrate the instrument. If it is necessary to take the instrument out of service for calibration or other adjustments, observe the following warning before proceeding.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or equipment damage from uncontrolled process. Provide some temporary means of control for the process before taking the instrument out of service.

DPersonal injury or property damage may result from fire or explosion if natural gas or other flammable or hazardous gas is used as the supply medium and preventive measures are not taken. Preventive measures may include, but are not limited to: Remote venting of the unit, re-evaluating the hazardous area classification, ensuring adequate ventilation, and the removal of any ignition sources. For information on remote venting of this instrument, refer to the Installation section.
DUse lock-out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
DThe valve packing box might contain process fluids that are pressurized, even when the valve has been removed from the pipeline. Process fluids might spray out under pressure when removing the packing hardware or packing rings, or when loosening the packing box pipe plug. Cautiously remove parts so that fluid escapes slowly and safely.
DCheck with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process media.
DOn an explosion-proof instrument, remove the electrical power before removing the instrument covers in a hazardous area. Personal injury or property damage may result from fire and explosion if power is applied to the instrument with the covers removed.

Instruments Mounted on Tank or Cage
WARNING
For instruments mounted on a tank or displacer cage, release trapped pressure from the tank and lower the liquid level to a point below the connection. This precaution is necessary to avoid personal injury from contact with the process fluid.

Instruments With a Hollow Displacer or Float
WARNING
For instruments with a hollow liquid level displacer, the displacer might retain process fluid or pressure. Personal injury and property might result from sudden release of this pressure or fluid. Contact with hazardous fluid, fire, or explosion can be caused by puncturing, heating, or repairing a displacer that is retaining process pressure or fluid. This danger may not be readily apparent when disassembling the sensor or removing the displacer. A displacer that has been penetrated by process pressure or fluid might contain: Dpressure as a result of being in a pressurized vessel Dliquid that becomes pressurized due to a change in temperature Dliquid that is flammable, hazardous or corrosive. Handle the displacer with care. Consider the characteristics of the specific process liquid in use. Before removing the displacer, observe the appropriate warnings provided in the sensor instruction manual.

DVC6000f Digital Valve Controllers

Scope of Manual
This instruction manual includes specifications, installation, operating, and maintenance information for FIELDVUE DVC6000f digital valve controllers.

1 This manual describes device setup using the 475 or 375 Field Communicator. For information on using Fisher ValveLink software with the instrument, refer to the appropriate user guide or help.

Do not install, operate, or maintain a DVC6000f digital valve controller without being fully trained and qualified in valve, actuator, and accessory installation, operation, and maintenance. To avoid personal injury or property damage, it is important to carefully read, understand, and follow all of the contents of this manual, including all safety cautions and warnings. If you have any questions about these instructions, contact your Emerson Process Management sales office before proceeding.
Instrument Description
DVC6000f digital valve controllers for FOUNDATION fieldbus are interoperable, communicating, microprocessor-based, digital-to-pneumatic instruments. In addition to the primary function of converting a digital input signal to a pneumatic output, the DVC6000f, using FOUNDATION fieldbus communications protocol, gives easy access to information critical to process operation as well as process control. This can be done using a DeltaV console, another FOUNDATION fieldbus system console, or with ValveLink software.
DVC6000f digital valve controllers can be mounted on single or double-acting sliding-stem actuators, as shown in figure 1-1, or on rotary actuators, as shown in figure 1-2. The DVC6000f mounts on most Fisher and other manufacturers' rotary and sliding-stem actuators.
DVC6000f digital valve controllers are available with several selections of control and diagnostic capability. Control selections include:

W9132-1

D Standard Control (SC)-- Digital valve controllers with Standard Control have the AO, PID, ISEL, OS, AI, MAI, DO, and four DI function blocks in addition to the resource and transducer blocks.
D Fieldbus Control (FC)--Digital valve controllers with Fieldbus Control have the AO function block in addition to the resource and transducer blocks.
D Fieldbus Logic (FL)--Digital valve controllers with Fieldbus Logic have the DO, and four DI function blocks, in addition to the resource and transducer block.
The diagnostic capabilities include:
D Performance Diagnostics (PD)
D Advanced Diagnostics (AD)
D Fieldbus Diagnostics (FD)
Performance and Advanced Diagnostics are available with ValveLink software. They provide visibility to instrument alerts. Fieldbus Diagnostics can be viewed with any host system.

Introduction and Specifications

W8115-FF
Figure 1-2. Fisher Rotary Control Valve with FIELDVUE DVC6020f Digital Valve Controller
Instrument Blocks
The digital valve controller is a block-based device. For detailed information on the blocks within the digital valve controller, see the Detailed Setup section of this manual. All DVC6000f digital valve controllers include the resource and transducer block:
D Resource Block--The resource block contains the hardware specific characteristics associated with a device; it has no input or output parameters. The resource block monitors and controls the general operation of other blocks within the device. For example, when the mode of the resource block is Out of Service, it impacts all function blocks.
D Transducer Block--The transducer block connects the analog output function block to the I/P converter, relay, and travel sensor hardware within the digital valve controller.
Function Blocks
In addition to the resource and transducer block, the digital valve controller may contain the following function blocks. For additional information on function blocks, refer to Appendix D, FOUNDATION fieldbus Communication.

D Analog Output (AO) Function Block--The analog output function block accepts the output from another function block (such as a PID block) and transfers it as an actuator control signal to the transducer block. If the DO block is selected, the AO block is not functional.

D Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID)

1

Function Block--The PID function block performs

proportional-plus-integral-plus-derivative control.

D Input Selector (ISEL) Function block--The input selector function block selects from up to four inputs and may provide the selected signal as input to the PID block. The input selection can be configured to select the first good input signal; a maximum, minimum or average value; or a hot spare.

D Output Splitter (OS) Function Block--The output splitter function block accepts the output from another function block (such as a PID block) and creates two outputs that are scaled or split, according to the user configuration. This block is typically used for split ranging of two control valves.

D Analog Input (AI) Function Block--The analog input function block monitors the signal from a DVC6000f sensor or internal measurement and provides it to another block.

D Multiple Analog Input (MAI) Function Block--The Multiple Analog Input (MAI) function block has the ability to process up to eight DVC6000f measurements and make them available to other function blocks.

D Discrete Output (DO) Function Block--The discrete output function block processes a discrete set point and sends it to a specified output channel, which can be transferred to the transducer block for actuator control. In the digital valve controller, the discrete output block provides both normal open/closed control and the ability to position the valve in 5% increments for course throttling applications. If the AO block is selected, the DO block is not functional.

D Discrete Input (DI) Function Block--The discrete input function block processes a single discrete input from a DVC6000f and makes it available to other function blocks. In the digital valve controller, the discrete input function block can provide limit switch functionality and valve position proximity detection.

Using This Manual
Procedures that require the use of the Field Communicator have the Field Communicator symbol
1 in the heading. Also included is the path required to accomplish various tasks; the sequence of steps through the Field Communicator menus. For example, the path to Resource Block Mode is RB > Configure/Setup > Setup > Resource Block Mode. An overview of the Field Communicator resource block and transducer block menu structures are shown at the beginning of this manual. Menu structures for the function blocks are included with each function block section in Detailed Setup / Blocks.
Throughout this document, parameters are typically referred to by their common name or label, followed by the parameter name and index number; for example, Write Priority (WRITE_PRI [39]). However, not all interface systems support the use of the parameter label and instead use only the Parameter Name, followed by the index number, when referring to the block parameters.
Specifications
Specifications for DVC6000f digital valve controllers are shown in table 1-1.

Installation
The DVC6000f can be used with either air or natural gas as the supply medium. If using natural gas as the pneumatic supply medium, natural gas will be used in the pneumatic output connections of the DVC6000f to any connected equipment. In normal operation the unit will vent the supply medium into the surrounding atmosphere unless it is remotely vented. When using natural gas as the supply medium, in a non-hazardous location in a confined area, remote venting of the unit is required. Failure to do so could result in personal injury, property damage, and area re-classification. For hazardous locations remote venting of the unit may be required, depending upon the area classification, and as specified by the requirements of local, regional, and national codes, rules and regulations. Failure to do so when necessary could result in personal injury, property damage, and area re-classification.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before proceeding with any Installation procedures:
D Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear to prevent personal injury and property damage.
D Personal injury or property damage may result from fire or explosion if natural gas is used as the supply medium and appropriate preventive measures are not taken. Preventive measures may include, but are not limited, to one or more of the following: Remote venting of the unit, re-evaluating the hazardous area classification, ensuring adequate ventilation, and the removal of any ignition sources. For information on remote venting of this controller, refer to page 2-22.
D If installing this into an existing application, also refer to the WARNING at the beginning of the Maintenance section of this instruction manual.
D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process media.

Mounting Guidelines
DVC6010f on Sliding-Stem Actuators Up to 102 mm (4 Inches) of Travel
If ordered as part of a control valve assembly, the factory mounts the digital valve controller on the actuator, makes pneumatic connections to the actuator, sets up, and calibrates the instrument. If you purchased the digital valve controller separately, you will need a mounting kit to mount the digital valve controller on the actuator. See the instructions that come with the mounting kit for detailed information on mounting the digital valve controller to a specific actuator model.
The DVC6010f digital valve controller mounts on sliding-stem actuators with up to 102 mm (4 inch) travel. Figure 2-1 shows a typical mounting on an actuator with up to 51 mm (2 inch) travel. Figure 2-2 shows a typical mounting on actuators with 51 to 102 mm (2 to 4 inch) travel. For actuators with greater than 102 mm (4 inch) travel, see the guidelines for mounting a DVC6020f digital valve controller.

Note
Do not use the stainless steel DVC6010fS in high vibration service where the mounting bracket uses standoffs (spacers) to mount to the actuator.
Refer to the following guidelines when mounting on sliding-stem actuators with up to 4 inches of travel. Where a key number is referenced, refer to figure 8-2.
1. Isolate the control valve from the process line pressure and release pressure from both sides of the valve body.

mounting instructions for off-actuator mounting instructions.

The DVC6015 remote feedback unit mounts on sliding-stem actuators with up to 102 mm (4 inch) travel. Figure 2-1 shows a typical mounting on an actuator with up to 51 mm (2 inch) travel. Figure 2-2 shows a typical mounting on actuators with 51 to 102 mm (2 to 4 inch) travel. For actuators with greater than 102 mm (4 inch) travel, see the guidelines for mounting a DVC6025 remote feedback unit.

(zero pressure from Port A with Relay A) by inserting the alignment pin (key 46) through the hole on the feedback arm as follows:
D For air-to-open actuators (i.e., the actuator stem retracts into the actuator casing or cylinder as air pressure to the casing or lower cylinder increases), insert the alignment pin into the hole marked ``A''. For this style actuator, the feedback arm rotates counterclockwise, from A to B, as air pressure to the casing or lower cylinder increases.
D For air-to-close actuators (i.e., the actuator stem extends from the actuator casing or cylinder as air pressure to the casing or upper cylinder increases), insert the alignment pin into the hole marked ``B''. For this style actuator, the feedback arm rotates clockwise, from B to A, as air pressure to the casing or upper cylinder increases.

Note
While the housing differs on the DVC6015 and the DVC6010f, feedback parts are the same.

Note
When performing the following steps, ensure there is enough clearance between the adjustment arm and the feedback arm to prevent interference with the bias spring.

Refer to the following guidelines when mounting on sliding-stem actuators with up to 4 inches of travel. Where a key number is referenced, refer to figure 8-7.
1. Isolate the control valve from the process line pressure and release pressure from both sides of the valve body. Shut off all pressure lines to the actuator, releasing all pressure from the actuator. Use lock-out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
2. Attach the connector arm to the valve stem connector.
3. Attach the mounting bracket to the remote feedback unit housing.
4. If valve travel exceeds 2 inches, a feedback arm extension is attached to the existing 2-inch feedback arm. Remove the existing bias spring (key 78) from the 2-inch feedback arm (key 79). Attach the feedback arm extension to the feedback arm (key 79) as shown in figure 2-2.
5. Mount the remote feedback unit on the actuator as described in the mounting kit instructions.
6. Set the position of the feedback arm (key 79) on the remote feedback unit to the zero drive position

7. Apply lubricant to the pin of the adjustment arm. As shown in figure 2-3, place the pin into the slot of the feedback arm or feedback arm extension so that the bias spring loads the pin against the side of the arm with the valve travel markings.
8. Install the external lock washer on the adjustment arm. Position the adjustment arm in the slot of the connector arm and loosely install the flanged hex nut.
9. Slide the adjustment arm pin in the slot of the connector arm until the pin is in line with the desired valve travel marking. Tighten the flanged hex nut.
10. Remove the alignment pin (key 46) and store it in the module base next to the I/P assembly.
11. After calibrating the instrument, attach the shield with two machine screws.

purchased the remote feedback unit separately, you will need a mounting kit to mount the remote feedback unit on the actuator. See the instructions that come with the mounting kit for detailed information on mounting the remote feedback unit to a specific actuator model.
Note
Refer to the DVC6005f Base Unit mounting instructions for off-actuator mounting instructions.
DVC6025 remote feedback units use a cam and roller as the feedback mechanism. Figure 2-4 shows an example of mounting on sliding-stem actuators with travels from 4 inches to 24 inches. Some long-stroke applications will require an actuator with a tapped lower yoke boss. Figures 2-5 and 2-6 show an example of mounting on rotary actuators.
Note
While the housing differs on the DVC6025 and the DVC6020f, feedback parts are the same.
As shown in figure 2-5, two feedback arms are available for the remote feedback unit. Most long-stroke sliding-stem and rotary actuator installations use the long feedback arm [62 mm (2.45 inches) from roller to pivot point]. Installations on Fisher 1051 size 33 and 1052 size 20 and 33 actuators use the short feedback arm [54 mm (2.13 inches) from roller to pivot point]. Make sure the correct feedback arm is installed on the remote feedback unit before beginning the mounting procedure.
Refer to figures 2-4, 2-5, and 2-6 for parts locations. Also, where a key number is referenced, refer to figure 8-8. Refer to the following guidelines when mounting on sliding-stem actuators with 4 to 24 inches of travel or on rotary actuators:
1. Isolate the control valve from the process line pressure and release pressure from both sides of the valve body. Shut off all pressure lines to the pneumatic actuator, releasing all pressure from the actuator. Use lock-out procedures to be sure that the

above measures stay in effect while working on the equipment.

2. If a cam is not already installed on the actuator, install the cam as described in the instructions included with the mounting kit. For sliding-stem actuators, the cam is installed on the stem connector.

3. If a mounting plate is required, fasten the mounting

plate to the actuator.

4. For applications that require remote venting, a

2

pipe-away bracket kit is available. Follow the

instructions included with the kit to replace the existing

mounting bracket on the remote feedback unit with the

pipe-away bracket and to transfer the feedback parts

from the existing mounting bracket to the pipe-away

bracket.

5. Larger size actuators may require a follower arm extension, as shown in figure 2-6. If required, the follower arm extension is included in the mounting kit. Follow the instructions included with the mounting kit to install the follower arm extension.

6. Apply anti-seize (key 64) to the arm assembly pin as shown in figure 2-8.

7. Mount the DVC6025 on the actuator as follows:

D If required, a mounting adaptor is included in the mounting kit. Attach the adaptor to the actuator as shown in figure 2-5. Then attach the remote feedback unit assembly to the adaptor. The roller on the remote feedback unit feedback arm will contact the actuator cam as it is being attached.

D If no mounting adaptor is required, attach the remote feedback unit assembly to the actuator or mounting plate. The roller on the remote feedback unit feedback arm will contact the actuator cam as it is being attached.
8. For long-stroke sliding-stem actuators, after the mounting is complete, check to be sure the roller aligns with the position mark on the cam (see figure 2-4). If necessary, reposition the cam to attain alignment.

DVC6035 on Quarter-Turn Actuators
If ordered as part of a control valve assembly, the factory mounts the remote feedback unit on the actuator, makes pneumatic connections to the actuator, sets up, and calibrates the instrument. If you purchased the remote feedback unit separately, you will need a mounting kit to mount the remote feedback unit on the actuator. See the instructions that come with the mounting kit for detailed information on mounting the remote feedback unit to a specific actuator model.

Figure 2-17. Gas Certified Label
Supply pressure must be clean, dry air that meets the requirements of ISA Standard 7.0.01. Alternatively, natural gas must be clean, dry, oil-free, and noncorrosive. H2S content should not exceed 20 ppm. A maximum 40 micrometer particle size in the air system is acceptable. Further filtration down to 5 micrometer particle size is recommended. Lubricant content is not to exceed 1 ppm weight (w/w) or volume (v/v) basis. Condensation in the air supply should be minimized. A 67CFR filter regulator with 5 micrometer filter, or equivalent, may be used to filter and regulate supply air. A filter regulator can be integrally mounted onto the side of the digital valve controller, casing mounted separate from the digital valve controller, or mounted on the actuator mounting boss. Supply and output pressure gauges may be supplied on the digital valve controller. The output pressure gauges can be used as an aid for calibration. Connect the nearest suitable supply source to the 1/4 NPT IN connection on the filter regulator (if furnished) or to the 1/4 NPT SUPPLY connection on the digital valve controller housing (if a 67CFR filter regulator is not attached).

Output Connections
A factory mounted digital valve controller has its output piped to the pneumatic input connection on the actuator. If mounting the digital valve controller in the field, or installing the remote-mounted DVC6005f base unit, connect the 1/4 NPT digital valve controller output connections to the pneumatic actuator input connections.
2 Single-Acting Actuators
When using a single-acting direct digital valve controller (relay A or C) on a single-acting actuator connect OUTPUT A to the actuator pneumatic input.
When using a single-acting reverse digital valve controller (relay B) on a single-acting actuator connect OUTPUT B to the actuator diaphragm casing.

Double-Acting Actuators
DVC6000f digital valve controllers on double-acting actuators always use relay A. With no instrument Fieldbus power (Zero Power Condition), OUTPUT A is at 0 pressure and OUTPUT B is at full supply pressure when the relay is properly adjusted.
To have the actuator stem retract into the cylinder with Zero Power Condition, connect OUTPUT A to the upper actuator cylinder connection. Connect OUTPUT B to the lower cylinder connection. Figure 2-18 shows the digital valve controller connected to a double-acting piston actuator.

Vent Connection

WARNING

This unit vents the supply medium

into the surrounding atmosphere.

When installing this unit in a

non-hazardous (non-classified)

2

location in a confined area, with natural gas as the supply medium,

you must remotely vent this unit to a

safe location. Failure to do so could

result in personal injury or property

damage from fire or explosion, and

area re-classification.

When installing this unit in a hazardous (classified) location remote venting of the unit may be required, depending upon the area classification, and as specified by the requirements of local, regional, and national codes, rules, and regulations. Failure to do so when necessary could result in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion, and area re-classification.

Vent line piping should comply with local and regional codes and should be as short as possible with adequate insider diameter and few bends to reduce case pressure buildup.

In addition to remote venting of the unit, ensure that all caps and covers are correctly installed. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion, and area re-classification.

The relay output constantly bleeds supply medium into the area under the cover. The vent opening at the back of the housing should be left open to prevent pressure buildup under the cover. If a remote vent is required, the vent line must be as short as possible with a minimum number of bends and elbows.
To connect a remote vent to DVC6010f and DVC6030f digital valve controllers--remove the plastic vent (key 52, figures 8-2 and 8-4). The vent connection is 3/8 NPT internal. Typically, 12.7 mm (0.5 inch) tubing is used to provide a remote vent.
To connect a remote vent to a DVC6020f digital valve controller--replace the standard mounting bracket (key 74, figure 8-3) with the vent-away bracket (key 74). Install a pipe plug in the vent-away mounting bracket (key 74). Mount the digital valve controller on the actuator as described in the Installation section of this manual. The vent connection is 3/8 NPT internal. Typically, 12.7 mm (0.5 inch) tubing is used to provide a remote vent.
Use 10 mm (0.275 inch) outside diameter tubing to connect the 1/4 NPT digital valve controller output connection to the pneumatic actuator input connection.
If a volume tank is used to attenuate flow instabilities, the volume needs to be at least 1.64 liters (100 cubic inch) but not greater than 4.1 liters (250 cubic inch). To tune the digital valve controller for an assembly equipped with a volume tank, select a tuning set for an actuator with roughly the same volume. Do not use tuning set B when a volume tank is present.
Alternatively, flow fluctuations may be attenuated by placing a 0.9 mm (0.035 inch) fixed restriction between the regulator and the output. A list of fixed restriction orifice specifications is presented in table 2-2.

WARNING
Personal injury or property damage can occur from cover failure due to overpressure. Ensure that the housing vent opening is open and free of debris to prevent pressure buildup under the cover.

5. Connect the second wire of the 3-conductor shielded cable between terminal 2 on the feedback unit and terminal 2 on the base unit.
6. Connect the third wire of the 3-conductor shielded cable between terminal 3 on the feedback unit and terminal 3 on the base unit.
7. Connect the cable shield or drain wire to the ground screw in the feedback connections terminal box of the base unit.

Note
Potentiometer travel must be between 1.3 and 1.6 times greater than the actuator travel. For example: if an actuator has a travel of 9 inches, then a linear potentiometer must be selected with a rated travel between 11.7 and 14.4 inches. The resistive element must be tapered from 0 kOhm to 10 kOhm over rated travel of the potentiometer. The actuator will only use 63 to 76% of the potentiometer's rated travel.

Note
Do not connect the shield or drain wire to any terminal on the feedback unit or to the earth ground or any other alternative grounds.
8. Replace and hand tighten all covers.
September 2013

Note
The digital valve controller must be configured using the SStem/Roller selection on the menu of the appropriate setup device.
The base unit (DVC6005f) was designed to work with a 40 kOhm potentiometer for travel feedback. However, there are linear potentiometers that are readily available with a rated resistance of 10 kOhm. Therefore, the feedback connections terminal box on the DVC6005f contains an additional 30 kOhm fixed resistor that may be added to the circuit. This brings the total resistance up to the required 40 kOhm.
2-27

DVC6000f Digital Valve Controllers

1. Stroke the actuator with the 10 kOhm potentiometer to the mid-travel position, which corresponds to the potentiometer value of 5 kOhm. This will leave an equal amount of unused resistive element on both ends of the travel, which is required by the digital valve controller to function properly.
2. On the base unit, remove the feedback connections terminal box cap (refer to figure 2-16).
2 3. If necessary, install conduit between the potentiometer and the base unit following applicable local and national electrical codes. Route the 3-conductor shielded cable between the two units (refer to figure 2-23).
4. Connect one wire of the 3-conductor shielded cable between the Terminal labeled "30k " on the base unit and one end lead of the potentiometer.
5. Connect the second wire of the 3-conductor shielded cable between the middle lead (wiper) of the 10 kOhm potentiometer and Terminal 2 on the base unit.
6. Connect the third wire of the 3-conductor shielded cable between Terminal 3 on the base unit and the other end-lead of the 10 kOhm potentiometer.
7. Connect the cable shield or drain wire to the ground screw in the feedback connections terminal box of the base unit. Do not connect the shield or drain wire to the external potentiometer.
8. Replace and tighten the base unit cover.

Using a Potentiometer with Two Fixed Resistors as a Remote Travel Sensor
Perform the following procedures if a potentiometer is used with the same, or slightly longer travel than the actuator's travel.
Note
The potentiometer must be capable of resistance close to 0 Ohms.

This procedure uses three resistors connected in series; two fixed resistors and one potentiometer. Three conditions must be met for the resistor combination to correctly operate the digital valve controller (refer to figure 2-24):
D The maximum resistance of the potentiometer (Rpot(max)) must be between 3.9 kOhm and 10 kOhm.
D The resistance of R1 is 4.25 times greater than Rpot(max).
D The resistance of R2 is 4 times less than Rpot(max).

CAUTION
To prevent damage to the potentiometer, ensure that it is free to travel the entire length of the actuators travel.

WARNING
To avoid personal injury or property damage from an uncontrolled process ensure that the R1 resistor is properly insulated before installing it in the terminal box.

Installation

1. On the base unit, remove the feedback connections terminal box cap (see figure 2-16).
2. If necessary, install conduit between the base unit and the remote travel sensor following applicable local and national electrical codes. Route the 3-conductor shielded cable between the two units (refer to figure 2-24).
3. Install the fixed resistor (R1) across the unlabeled bottom Terminal and Terminal #1. The bottom terminal does not have a screw. The screw on the 30 kOhm terminal can be used. R1 must be properly insulated when installed in the terminal box to prevent personal injury or property damage.
4. Connect one wire of the 3-conductor shielded cable between the unlabeled bottom Terminal on the base unit and an end-lead on the external potentiometer (Rpot).
5. Connect the second wire of the 3-conductor shielded cable between the middle lead (wiper) of the external potentiometer (Rpot) and Terminal #2 on the base unit.
6. Connect the third wire of the 3-conductor shielded cable between a lead on fixed resistor (R2) and Terminal #3 of the base unit.
7. Connect the available end-lead on the potentiometer (Rpot) with the available lead on fixed resistor (R2).
8. Connect the cable shield or drain wire to the ground screw in the feedback connections terminal box of the base unit. Do not connect the shield or drain wire to any lead on the three-resistor series.

9. Replace and tighten the base unit cover.
Example: Using a linear potentiometer rated at 400 Ohms/inch on an actuator with 16" of travel.

D Rpot(max) is 400 Ohms/in x 16" = 6.4 kOhm

D R1 = 6.4 kOhm x 4.25 = 27.2 kOhm

D R2 = 6.4 kOhm / 4 = 1.6 kOhm

Communication Connections

WARNING
Personal injury or property damage caused by fire or explosion may occur if this connection is attempted in a potentially explosive atmosphere or in an area that has been classified as hazardous. Confirm that area classification and atmosphere conditions permit the safe removal of the terminal box cap before proceeding.

A FOUNDATION fieldbus communicating device, such as a Field Communicator or a personal computer running ValveLink software, interfaces with the DVC6000f digital valve controller from any wiring termination point in the segment. If you choose to connect the fieldbus communicating device directly to the instrument, attach the device to the LOCAL connections inside the terminal box to provide local communications with the instrument.

Install a jumper across the SIMULATE ENABLE terminals to enable the instrument to accept a simulate command. (These terminals are marked AUX on the terminal board, see figure 2-20). With the jumper in place and the simulate parameter in the AO or DO block set to enabled, the transducer block ignores the output of the AO or DO block. The simulate value and status become the readback value and status to the AO or DO block and the transducer block is ignored. For more information on running simulations, see the Detailed Setup / Blocks section of this manual, the FOUNDATION fieldbus specifications, and the host documentation.
WARNING
Removing the jumper will disable the simulate, which may cause the valve to move. To avoid personal injury and property damage caused by the release of pressure or process fluid, provide some temporary means of control for the process.
Commissioning Tag
The DVC6000f digital valve controller is supplied with a removable paper commissioning tag, shown in figure 2-25. This tag contains both the device ID and a space to record the device's tag number. The device ID is a unique code that identifies a particular device in the absence of a device tag. The device tag is used as an

18B9406-G
Figure 2-25. Paper Commissioning Tag
operational identification for the device and is usually defined by the piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID).
When commissioning more than one device on a fieldbus segment, identifying which device is at a particular location can be tedious without tags. The removable tag provided with the digital valve controller can be used to link the device ID and the physical installation location. The installer should note the physical location in both places on the removable commissioning tag and tear off the bottom portion. This should be done for each device on the segment. The bottom portion of the tags can be used for commissioning the segment in the control system.
Prior to commissioning, the device ID is displayed by the host system if no device tag is configured in the digital valve controller electronics. Typically the placeholder displays the device tag. The information on the paper tag enables the engineer to match the device ID to the correct placeholder.
As an ordering option, the factory can enter a device tag into the digital valve controller electronics during the manufacturing process. If this option is specified, the device tag is displayed at the host system prior to commissioning rather than the device ID. This makes the job of commissioning the device easier.

If you select NO for the factory defaults, the setup parameters listed in the table remain at their previous settings.
Typically Device Setup 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:
D Actuator Style--Select spring & diaphragm, piston double-acting without spring, piston single-acting with spring, piston double-acting with spring.
D Valve Style--Select the valve style, rotary or sliding-stem.
D Zero Power Condition--Identifies whether the valve is fully open or fully closed when the instrument is outputing the smallest signal to the I/P module. Typically, this setting matches the valve position when the instrument is not powered. For instruments with relay A or C, if increasing air pressure at output A causes the valve to open, the Zero Power Condition is Closed. If the valve closes under these conditions, the Zero Power Condition is Open. For instruments with relay B, if decreasing air pressure at output B causes the valve to open, the Zero Power Condition is Closed. If the valve closes under these conditions, the Zero Power Condition is Open.

D Travel Sensor Motion--Select Clockwise or Counterclockwise. Travel Sensor Motion establishes the proper valve travel sensor (feedback) rotation.
Determine the rotation by viewing the end of the travel sensor shaft.

For instruments with relay B If decreasing air pressure at output B causes the shaft to turn clockwise, enter Clockwise. If it causes the shaft to turn counterclockwise, enter Counterclockwise.
Table 3-2 lists the required Travel Sensor Motion selections for Fisher and Baumann actuators.
D Tuning Set--There are twelve tuning sets to choose from. Each tuning set provides a preselected value for the digital valve controller gain settings. Tuning set C typically provides the slowest response and M provides the fastest response. For smaller actuators, use lower tuning sets (such as C or D). For larger actuators, use higher tuning sets (such as F or G). Table 3-3 lists the values for preselected tuning sets.

WARNING
If you answer YES to the prompt for permission to move the valve when setting the Travel Sensor 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, provide some temporary means of control for the process.
For instruments with relay A or C If increasing air pressure at output A causes the shaft to turn clockwise, enter Clockwise. If it causes the shaft to turn counterclockwise, enter Counterclockwise.
September 2013

Note
Tuning Set B is only available in Pressure Control Mode.
In addition, you can select Expert, which allows you to modify tuning of the digital valve controller by specifying the gain values.
Table 3-2 provides tuning set selection guidelines for Fisher and Baumann actuators. These tuning sets are only recommended starting points. After you finish setting up and calibrating the instrument, use the performance tuner to adjust the tuning set to get the desired response.
3-5

DVC6000f Digital Valve Controllers

Note
When selecting a tuning set for a DVC6015, DVC6025 or DVC6035 remote mount unit, it may be necessary to reduce the tuning set, due to the effects of the long tubing between the digital valve controller and the actuator.
3 For an actuator not listed in the table, you can estimate a starting tuning set by calculating the casing or cylinder volume. Then, in the table, find an actuator with the closest equivalent volume and use the tuning set suggested for that actuator.
WARNING
Changes to the tuning set may cause the valve/actuator assembly to stroke. To avoid personal injury or property damage caused by moving parts, keep hands, tools, and other objects away from the valve/actuator assembly.
When Device Setup is complete you are asked if you wish to run Auto Calibration now. Select yes to automatically calibrate instrument travel at this time. 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 in the Calibration section.

Note
Single-acting relay B and C are not user-adjustable. However, it is recommended that you check the relay adjustment for double-acting relay A in new installations before proceeding with travel calibration. Refer to page 5-4 for relay adjustment instructions.
If after completing auto setup and auto calibration the valve seems slightly unstable or unresponsive, you can improve operation by selecting Performance Tuner from the Basic Setup menu.
Performance Tuner
Performance Tuner is used to optimize digital valve controller tuning. It will move the valve slightly and monitor the effects of small tuning changes until an optimum control response is achieved. Because the Performance Tuner can detect internal instabilities before they become apparent in the travel response, it can generally optimize tuning more effectively than manual tuning. Access Performance Tuner by selecting Performance Tuner from the Basic Setup menu.

Resource Block Overview
The resource block contains the hardware specific characteristics associated with a device; it has no input or output parameters. The resource block monitors and controls the general operation of other blocks within the device. Most of the resource block parameters are operational parameters that provide information about the instrument such as identification, hardware information, available options, etc. and are read only. Configuration of the resource block involves selecting features from those that are available, setting the mode, setting write lock, and setting up alert reporting details.
4 The following procedures address only the key resource block parameters; however, all resource block parameters are listed in table 4-3.

Write Lock
(RB > Configure/Setup > Write Lock)
D Write Lock
Write Lock (WRITE_LOCK [34]) determines if writes are permissible to other device parameters. The Firmware Write Lock feature must be selected to be able to use Write Lock (see Features). When Write Lock is set to Locked, no writes are permitted to any parameters within the device except to set Write Lock to Not Locked. When locked, the device functions normally, updating inputs and outputs and executing algorithms. When Write Lock is set to Not Locked, the Write Alarm (WRITE_ALM [40]) alert is active.
D Write Priority
Write Priority (WRITE_PRI [39]) sets the priority for Write Alarm. The lowest priority is 0. The highest is 15.

Configure/Setup

Communication Time Out
(RB > Configure/Setup > Communication Time Out)
D Shed Remote Cascade

Setup Resource Block Mode
(RB > Configure/Setup > Setup > Resource Block Mode)
Modes
The resource block can be in one of two modes (MODE_BLK [5]):
d Automatic (Auto)--This is the operational mode for
this block. When the resource block is in the Auto mode, all other function blocks are allowed to function normally.
d Out of Service (OOS)--Placing the resource block
in Out of Service mode stops all function block execution, by setting their modes to Out of Service as well. The actual mode of the function blocks is changed to Out of Service, but the function block target modes are retained. Placing the resource block in the Out of Service mode does not affect the mode of the transducer block.

Note
Typically this parameter does not need to be changed. The unit will be operational using the default values assigned by the factory. Perform this procedure only if a remote computer is sending setpoints from your "advanced" control.
Default value for RCas Timeout is 20 seconds.
Shed Remote Cascade (SHED_RCAS [26]) determines how long function blocks in the DVC6000f should wait before giving up on remote computer writes to RCas parameters. When the timeout is exceeded, the block sheds to the next mode as defined by the block shed options. If Shed Remote Cascade is set to 0, the block will not shed from RCas. Enter a positive value in the Shed Remote Cascade field. Time duration is in 1/32 milliseconds (640000 = 20 secs).

D Shed Remote Out
Note
Typically this parameter does not need to be changed. The unit will be operational using the default values assigned by the factory. Perform this procedure only if a remote computer is sending setpoints from your "advanced" control. Default value for Shed Remote Out is 20 seconds.
Shed Remote Out (SHED_ROUT [27]) determine how long function blocks in the DVC6000f should wait before giving up on computer writes to ROut parameters. When the timeout is exceeded, the block sheds to the next mode as defined by the block shed options. If Shed Remote Out is set to 0, the block will not shed from ROut. Enter a positive value in the Shed Remote Out field. Time duration is in 1/32 milliseconds (640000 = 20 secs).
Options
(RB > Configure/Setup > Options) D Diagnostic Options
Diagnostic Options (DIAG_OPTIONS [45]) shows the diagnostic options available in the instrument.
D Function Block Options
Function Block Options (FB_OPTIONS [44]) shows which function blocks are available in the instrument.
D Miscellaneous Options
Miscellaneous Options (MISC_OPTIONS [46]) indicates which miscellaneous licensing options are enabled.
D Features Available
Features Available (FEATURES [17]) indicates which Resource Block Options features are available.
d Reports--Reports enables alert and event
reporting. Reporting of specific alerts may be suppressed. See Alerts on page 4-26.
d Fault State--Fault state enables the ability of
the output block to react to various abnormal conditions by shedding mode. See parameter

descriptions for Set Fault State (SET_FSTATE [29]) and Clear Fault State (CLR_FSTATE [30]) in table 4-3 and "Action on Fault Detection".

d Soft Write Lock--Soft Write lock permits using
Write Lock (WRITE_LOCK [34]) to prevent any external change to parameter values. Block connections and calculation results will proceed normally, but the configuration is locked. Also see Write Lock, on page 4-4.

d Multi-bit Alarm (Bit-Alarm) Support-- Multi-bit

Alarm (Bit-Alarm) Support permits the instrument to

treat each PlantWeb alert separately when

broadcast to the Host.Without Multi-Bit Alarm

Support, an individual PlantWeb alert must be acknowledged before another PlantWeb alert can

4

be broadcast to the Host

D Features Selected

Note
Typically this parameter does not need to be changed. The unit will be operational using the default values assigned by the factory.
Fault State, Software Write Lock, and Output Readback are set by default.
Features Selected (FEATURE_SEL [18]) indicates which Resource Block Options features have been selected and is used to select the desired features.
d Reports--Selecting reports enables alert and
event reporting. Reporting of specific alerts may be suppressed. See Alerts on page 4-26.
d Fault State--Selecting fault state enables the
ability of the output block to react to various abnormal conditions by shedding mode. See parameter descriptions for Set Fault State (SET_FSTATE [29]) and Clear Fault State (CLR_FSTATE [30]) in table 4-3 and "Action on Fault Detection".
d Soft Write Lock--When selected, permits using
Write Lock (WRITE_LOCK [34]) to prevent any external change to parameter values. Block connections and calculation results will proceed normally, but the configuration is locked. Also see Write Lock, on page 4-4.
d Multi-bit Alarm (Bit-Alarm) Support-- When
selected, the instrument will allow the instrument to treat each PlantWeb alert separately when broadcast to the Host.

Alarm Handling
(RB > Configure/Setup > Alarm Handling)
D Alert Key
Alert Key (ALERT_KEY [4]) is a number that permits grouping alerts. This number may be used to indicate to the operator the source of the alert, such as the instrument, plant unit, etc. Enter a value between 1 and 255.
D Confirm Time
Confirm Time (CONFIRM_TIME [33]) determines the time, in 1/32 of a millisecond, the instrument waits for
4 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.

0x5100 4602

Data Type: Unsigned32

Manufacturer identification number, used by an

interface device or host to locate the DD file for

the resource. All manufacturer identification

numbers are maintained by the Fieldbus

Foundation. A host usually will have a base

directory for DD files. In this directory is a

subdirectory for each manufacturer id. In each

manufacturer id subdirectory is a directory for

each device type made by that manufacturer.

The device type directories contain files named

by combining the device revision for the

particular device type with the revision of the

device description. The manufacturer id for

22

RO

NA 45

Date Type: Unsigned16

blocks may be added to DVC6000f

instruments, this parameter value is fixed at 45.

23

RO

NA Positive

576,000

Date Type: Unsigned32 This parameter identifies the minimum time interval (in 1/32 milliseconds) between copies of NV class data to NV memory. NV memory is updated only if there has been a change in the dynamic value. The last value saved in NV memory will be available for the restart procedure or a power cycle. A non-zero value regulates the frequency of writes, thus protecting the life span of the device. If the value is zero, data will never be automatically copied. Changes made by other than publishing to NV parameters will be copied to non-volatile memory immediately. For DVC6000f instruments, this parameter value is fixed at 576,000 (18 seconds).

Data Type: Unsigned8

Forces output function blocks that are not Out

of Service to the fault state condition. While this

parameter is active the output function blocks

will go to an actual mode of Local Override

(LO) and will perform their fault state actions

(see Action On Fault Detection for the output

blocks on pages 4-72 and 4-153 of this

section). This parameter is used to test the

fault state behavior that normally occurs when

there is a communication problem between

devices. This parameter is changed by the

SET_FSTATE and CLR_FSTATE parameters

so long as the feature Fault State is selected

(see Feature Selection [index number 18] in

this table).

4

Data Type: Unsigned8

Selecting Set changes the parameter

FAULT_STATE to Active. This is essentially a

"write only" parameter as it will always read

OFF because it is defined as momentary.

Writing a value of OFF has no affect. To use

this parameter the feature Fault State must be

selected (see Features Selected on page

4-5).

This is essentially a "write only" parameter as it will always read OFF because it is defined as momentary. Writing a value of OFF has no affect. To use this parameter the feature Fault State must be selected (see Features Selected on page 4-5.

Transducer Block

Transducer Block Overview
The transducer block accepts a signal from an output block as a set point to position a valve using a pneumatic actuator. Input to the transducer block is in percent. Closed is 0%, and open is 100%. The transducer block contains setup and calibration information and can be tuned to closely match the actuator. Input characterization permits modifying the overall characteristic of the instrument-actuator-valve combination in order to modify the installed gain characteristic of the loop. The transducer block can also be used to perform instrument and valve diagnostics and trigger performance alerts. The following procedures address only the key transducer block parameters; however, all transducer block parameters are listed in table 4-13.
Detailed Setup
Note
To setup and calibrate the instrument, the transducer block Mode must be Manual and the Protection must be None.

d Out of Service (OOS)-- Placing the transducer
block in Out of Service mode changes the output to the zero power (no I/P drive) condition.
d Manual (MAN)-- Placing the transducer block in
Manual will hold the value at the current setpoint (FINAL_VALUE [13]). The transducer block will not accept changes from the AO or DO blocks. This mode is required to change some parameters and to run some diagnostics.
4 Protection
(TB > Configure/Setup > Detailed Setup > Protection) To configure any parameters in the digital valve controller Write Lock (WRITE_LOCK [34]), in the resource block, must be set to Unlocked (refer to page 4-4). In addition, protection is provided for various transducer block parameters, as indicated in the Protect Category column of table 4-13, to prevent inadvertently overwriting key data by the host system or user.
d All-- will protect all transducer block Parameters.
d Setup and Calibration-- will protect only Setup
and Calibration transducer block parameters.
d Calibration-- will protect only Calibration
transducer block parameters.
d None-- will not protect any transducer block
parameters.

Transducer Block Mode
(TB > Configure/Setup > Detailed Setup > Transducer Block Mode)
Modes
The transducer block can be in one of three modes (MODE_BLK [5]):
d Automatic (Auto)-- This is the normal mode for
this block. When the transducer block is in the auto mode, it accepts the output from the AO or DO block as a set point and outputs a drive signal to the I/P converter based upon this set point.

Note
The Device Setup Auto Travel and Manual Travel methods automatically change transducer block protection for the user.
See table 4-13 for individual parameter details.

D Travel Tuning Set
There are eleven Travel Tuning Sets (TVL_TUNING_SET [42.10]) to choose from. Each tuning set provides a preselected value for the digital valve controller gain settings.
Tuning set C provides the slowest response and M provides the fastest response. Table 4-8 lists the proportional gain, velocity gain and minor loop feedback gain values for preselected tuning sets.

Note
When selecting a tuning set for a DVC6015, DVC6025 or DVC6035 remote mount unit, it may be necessary to reduce the tuning set, due to the effects of the long tubing between the digital valve controller and the actuator.
In addition, you can specify Expert tuning and individually set the proportional gain, velocity gain, and minor loop feedback gain. Individually setting or changing any tuning parameter will automatically change the tuning set to X (expert).

Table 3-2 provides tuning set selection guidelines for Fisher and Baumann actuators. These tuning sets are recommended starting points. After you finish setting up and calibrating the instrument, you may have to select either a higher or lower tuning set to get the desired response.
For an actuator not listed in table 3-2, you can estimate a starting tuning set by calculating the casing or cylinder volume. Then, find an actuator in table 3-2 with the closest equivalent volume and use the tuning set suggested for that actuator.
D Travel Proportional Gain
Travel Proportional Gain (SERVO_GAIN [18]) is the proportional gain for the travel control tuning set. Changing this parameter will also change the tuning set to Expert.
D Travel Velocity Gain
Travel Velocity Gain (SERVO_RATE [20]) is the velocity gain for the travel control tuning set. Changing this parameter will also change the tuning set to Expert.

D Travel Integral Enable
Travel Integral Enable (TVL_INTEG_ENABLE [44.1]) is used to enable the integral setting to improve static performance by correcting for error that exists between the travel target and actual travel.
D Travel Integral Gain
Travel Integral Gain (SERVO_RESET [19]) (also called reset) is the ratio of the change in output to the change in input, based on the control action in which the output is proportional to the time integral of the input.
D Travel Integral Dead Zone
Travel Integral Dead Zone (TVL_INTEG_DEADZ [44.4]) is a window around the Primary Setpoint in which the integral action is disabled. The dead band is configurable from 0 to 2%.
D Travel Integral Limit Hi
Travel Integral Limit Hi (TVL_INTEG_LIM_HI [44.2]) provides an upper limit to the integrator output. The high limit is configurable from 0 to 100% of the I/P drive signal.
D Travel Integral Limit Lo
The Travel Integral Limit Lo (TVL_INTEG_LIM_LO [44.3]) provides a lower limit to the integrator output. The low limit is configurable from -100 to 0% of the I/P drive signal.
D Performance Tuner
WARNING
During the performance tuning the valve may move. To avoid personal injury and property damage caused by the release of pressure or process fluid, provide some temporary means of control for the process.
Performance Tuner is used to optimize digital valve controller tuning. It will move the valve slightly and monitor the effects of small tuning changes until an optimum control response is achieved. Because the

Performance Tuner can detect internal instabilities before they become apparent in the travel response, it can generally optimize tuning more effectively than manual tuning.
D Stabilize/Optimize

WARNING

During Stabilize/Optimize the valve

may move. To avoid personal injury

and property damage caused by the

release of pressure or process fluid,

provide some temporary means of control for the process.

4

If after completing initial setup and calibration the valve cycles or overshoots, or is sluggish, you can improve operation running Stabilize/Optimize.
Stabilize/Optimize is included with the device description (DD) firmware. Stabilize/Optimize is accessible from the transducer block and permits changing the transducer block set point a small amount to see if the valve is unstable or unresponsive. If valve response is unsatisfactory, the method permits adjusting the digital valve controller tuning to improve response.
If the valve is unstable, select Decrease Response to stabilize valve operation. This selects the next lower tuning set (e.g., F to E). If the valve response is sluggish, select Increase Response to make the valve more responsive. This selects the next higher tuning set (e.g., F to G).
If after selecting Decrease Response or Increase Response the valve travel overshoot is excessive, Increase Damping or Decrease Damping can be used to select a damping value not represented in a predefined tuning set. Select Decrease Damping to select a damping value that allows more overshoot. Select Increase Damping to select a damping value that will decrease the overshoot.
When valve operation is satisfactory, select Exit. Before exiting, you are asked if you want to return the transducer block mode to Auto. Select Yes to change the transducer block mode to Auto. Select No to leave the transducer block in its current mode.

D Travel/Pressure State
Travel/Pressure State (TVL_PRESS.STATE [41.2]) indicates if the instrument is being used for travel control (position control) or as an I/P (pressure control)
D Travel/Pressure Select
CAUTION
When using Pressure Fallback Manual Recovery or Pressure Fallback Auto Recovery, the valve travel has the potential of moving rapidly causing potential process instability when returning to Travel Control.
Note
Travel / Pressure Select must be set to Travel for double acting actuators.
Travel / Pressure Select (TVL_PRESS_SELECT [41.1]) determines if the instrument is setup for position or pressure control. Select Travel, Pressure, Travel with Pressure Fallback/Auto recovery or Travel with Pressure Fallback/Manual Recovery. If the travel sensor fails, and Travel with Pressure Fallback/Auto Recovery is selected, it will return to travel control when the travel sensor starts working again. Travel with Pressure Fallback/Manual recovery will stay in pressure control until Travel Pressure Select is changed to Travel or Travel with Pressure Fallback/Auto recovery. It is not necessary to enable the Travel Sensor Alert for Pressure Fallback to occur.

D Travel Deviation Pressure Fallback

Travel Deviation Pressure Fallback occurs when the instrument detects that the travel sensor is outside of its normal range of operation or that a gross deviation exists between set point and actual travel. It switches to Pressure Control and no longer uses the travel sensor to position the valve.

D Travel Cutoff Hi

Travel Cutoff Hi (FINAL_VALUE_CUTOFF_HI [15])

defines the high cutoff point for the travel in percent

(%) of pre-characterized setpoint. Above this cutoff,

the travel target is set to 123.0% of the ranged travel.

Travel Cutoff Hi is deactivated by setting it to 125.0%.

D Travel Cutoff Lo

4

Travel Cutoff Lo (FINAL_VALUE_CUTOFF_LO [16]) defines the low cutoff point for the travel in percent (%) of pre-characterized setpoint. Below this cutoff, the travel target is set to -23%. A Travel Cutoff Lo of 0.5% is recommended to help ensure maximum shutoff seat loading. Travel Cutoff Lo is deactivated by setting it to -25.0%

D Pressure Cutoff Open

Pressure Cutoff Open (PRESS_CUTOFF_HI [47.1]) defines the high cutoff point for the pressure in percent (%) of pre-characterized setpoint. Above this cutoff, the pressure target is set to 123.0%. A Pressure Cutoff Open of 99.5% is recommended to ensure valve goes fully open. Pressure Cutoff Hi is deactivated by setting it 125%.

D Pressure Cutoff Closed

Pressure Cutoff Closed (PRESS_CUTOFF_LO [47.2]) defines the low cutoff point for the pressure in percent (%) of pre-characterized setpoint. Below this cutoff, the pressure target is set to -23%. A Pressure Cutoff Closed of 0.5% is recommended to help ensure maximum shutoff seat loading. Pressure Cutoff Closed is deactivated by setting it to -25.0%

D Pressure Range Hi

Pressure Range Hi (PRESS_RANGE_HI [42.7]) is the high end of output pressure range. Enter the pressure that corresponds with 100% valve travel when Zero Power Condition is closed, or 0% valve travel when Zero Power Condition is open. This pressure must be greater than the Pressure Range Lo.

D Pressure Range Lo

Pressure Range Lo (PRESS_RANGE_LO [42.8]) is the low end of the output pressure range. Enter the pressure that corresponds to 0% valve travel when Zero Power Condition is closed, or 100% valve travel when Zero Power Condition is open. The pressure must be less than the Pressure Range Hi.

PlantWeb Alerts
Some instrument alert conditions can also be used to trigger PlantWeb alerts that will be reported in Failed, Maintenance or Advisory categories, as configured by the user. PlantWeb alerts, when enabled, can participate in the DeltaV alarm interface tools such as the alarm banner, alarm list and alarm summary.
When a PlantWeb alert occurs, the DVC6000f sends an event notification and waits a specified period of time for an acknowledgment to be received. This occurs even if the condition that caused the alert no longer exists. If the acknowledgment is not received within the pre-specified time-out period, the event notification is retransmitted. This reduces the possibility of alert messages getting lost.
PlantWeb alerts are mode-based. Refer to table C-1 for details.

Alert Handling
(TB > Configure/Setup > Detailed Setup > Alert
Handling)
PlantWeb Alert Simulate
When enabled, PlantWeb Alert Simulate (PWA_SIMULATE [39]) allows the user to write to the following PlantWeb and Instrument alert parameters; Failed Active, Maintenance Active, Advise Active, Environment Active, Travel Active, Proximity Active, Travel History Active, Performance Active, PD Event Active, PD Detail 1 Active, PD Detail 2 Active, PD Detail 3 Active, PD Detail 4 Active, PD Detail 5 Active, PD Detail 6 Active. This provides a way to simulate these alerts for testing. In order to enable PWA Simulate, the Aux Terminal must be jumpered.

PlantWeb Alert Simulate is cleared on a power cycle. It can also be cleared manually, or by removing the Aux terminal jumper. Simulate Active Alerts
D Failed Active
Permits simulating an active Failed alarm (FAILED_ACTIVE [59]).
D Maintenance Active
Permits simulating an active Maintenance alarm (MAINT_ACTIVE [60]).
D Advise Active
Permits simulating an active Advisory alarm (ADVISE_ACTIVE -[61]). PlantWeb Alert Handling
D PlantWeb Alerts Set PV Status
When selected, PlantWeb alerts will set the PV status according to table 4-10.
D Block Error Reporting
When enabled, the AO or DO BLOCK_ERR [6] parameter will report PlantWeb Alerts. the same as Block Error in the resource block. Block Error bit 6 (Device Needs Maintenance Soon) will report any active PlantWeb Maintenance Alert. Block Error bit 13 (Device Needs Maintenance Now) will report any active PlantWeb Failed Alert.

Figure 4-8. Analog Output (AO) Function Block

Analog Output (AO) Function Block Overview
The Analog Output (AO) function block assigns an output value to a field device through a specified I/O channel. The block supports mode control, signal status calculation, and simulation. Figure 4-9 illustrates the internal components of the AO function block, and table 4-24 lists the definitions of the block parameters. The digital valve controller measures and uses actual valve position for READBACK [16].
Note
The AO block actual mode will not move to Auto unless:
D Resource Block actual mode is Auto, and
D AO SHED_OPT [27] is set to a non-zero value.

Note
Actual Block Mode (MODE_BLK.ACTUAL [5.2]) will remain out of service and the block cannot be scheduled if the block has not been licensed. Contact your Emerson Process Management sales office to upgrade product licensing.

Note

4

Actual Block Mode (MODE_BLK.ACTUAL [5.2]) will remain in IMAN and the block Readback status will be Bad - Not Connected if the Output Block Selection is set incorrectly. From the transducer block method Outblock Selection, select the desired output block, see page 4-26.

Modes
The Analog Output function block supports the following modes:
D Manual (Man)--You can manually set the output to the I/O channel through the OUT [9] attribute. This mode is used primarily for maintenance, calibration and diagnostics.
D Automatic (Auto)--The block output (OUT [9]) reflects the target operating point specified by the setpoint (SP [8]) attribute. Typically the setpoint is set by the user.
D Cascade (Cas)--The SP [8] attribute is set by another function block through a connection to CAS_IN [17]. The SP [8] value is used to set the OUT [9] attribute automatically. This is the most frequently used mode in the digital valve controller.

Note
The transducer block must be in Auto for the mode to go to AUTO, CAS, MAN, or RCAS.

DVC6000f Digital Valve Controllers

D RemoteCascade (RCas)--The SP [8] is set by a host computer by writing to the RCAS_IN [28] parameter. The SP [8] value is used to set the OUT [9] attribute automatically.
D Out of Service (OOS)--The block is not processed. The output channel is maintained at the last value and the status of OUT [9] is set to Bad: Out of Service. The BLOCK_ERR [6] attribute shows Out of Service.
D Initialization Manual (Iman)--The path to the output hardware is broken and the AO block output will remain at the last position. This means the transducer
4 block mode is Out of Service or Manual or configured to respond to the DO block.
D Local Override (LO)--The output of the block is not responding to inputs because the fault state action is active. OUT [9] freezes or goes to value per IO_OPTS [14].
The target mode of the block may be restricted to one or more of the following modes: Man, Auto, Cas, RCas, or OOS.

Note
During Shed with Return Options, the actual mode is changed, while the target mode stays the same.
Normal--On failure of a remote cascade connection the block attempts to attain the highest permitted non-remote mode until remote cascade is restored. Cas is the highest permitted non-remote mode and Auto is is the next permitted non-remote mode. If Cas or Auto are not available, the block will shed by default to Man.
Retained Target--The retained target mode is the previous target mode before it was changed to RCAS or ROUT. On failure of a remote cascade connection the block attempts to attain the retained target mode.
Auto--On failure of a remote cascade connection the block attempts to attain Auto, if permitted, until remote cascade is restored.
Man--On failure of a remote cascade connection the block sheds to Man until a remote cascade connection is restored.

Shed With No Return Options

Mode Handling
Shed Options--RCAS Mode Only
Automatically changing through the permitted modes when starting from a remote mode, fall from (or shed) or climb to a remote mode is determined by the parameter SHED_OPT [27]. A block climbs and sheds through the same path. For example, if SHED_OPT [27] specifies that a block should shed to Auto, then, if the block target mode is set to RCas, the block goes through Auto on the way to RCas.
When the block is in Cas mode and the CAS_IN [17] input goes bad, the block sheds mode to the next lower permitted mode.
You can configure the shed option as follows:
Shed With Return Options
Remote cascade connection failure shifts actual mode but keeps trying to restore remote cascade (in other words, the remote cascade target mode stays in effect).

Note
During Shed with No Return Options, the target mode is changed, while the actual mode stays the same.
For any shed with no return option, the target mode changes as determined by the option. Therefore, there is no attempt to restore the connection following failure. The behavior on change to the remote cascade target mode is identical to that for Shed With Return Options.
Normal--On failure of a remote cascade connection the block sets the target mode to the highest permitted non-remote mode. Cas is the highest permitted non-remote mode and Auto is is the next highest permitted non-remote mode. If Cas or Auto are not available, the block will shed by default to Man.
Retained Target--The retained target mode is the previous target mode before it was changed to RCAS or ROUT. On failure of a remote cascade connection the block sets the target mode to the retained target mode.

Auto--On failure of a remote cascade connection, the block sets the target mode to Auto, if permitted.
Man--On failure of remote cascade connection, the block sets the target mode to Man, if permitted.
The user may configure SHED_OPT [27] so that it calls for a target mode that is not permitted. When doing this, the mode logic uses the following rules as applied by the remote logic:
D Shed logic never results in a non-permitted target mode.
D Shed logic never attempts to attain an actual mode of Auto or Cas if that mode is not permitted.
Status Handling
Output or readback fault detection is reflected in the status of PV [7], OUT [9], and BKCAL_OUT [25]. A limited SP [8] condition is reflected in the BKCAL_OUT [25] status. When simulation is enabled through the SIMULATE [10] attribute, you can set the value and status for PV [7] and READBACK [16].

When the block is in Cas mode and the CAS_IN [17] input goes bad, the block sheds mode to the next permitted mode.
Setting the Output
To set the output for the AO block, you must first set the mode to define the manner in which the block determines its setpoint. In Manual mode the value of the output attribute (OUT [9]) must be set manually by the user, and is independent of the setpoint. In Automatic mode, OUT [9] is set automatically based on the value specified by the set point (SP [8]) in engineering units and the I/O Options attribute. In addition, you can limit the SP [8] value and the rate at which a change in the SP [8] is passed to OUT [9].
In Cascade mode, the cascade input connection (CAS_IN [17]) is used to update the SP [8]. The back calculation output (BKCAL_OUT [25]) is wired to the back calculation input (BKCAL_IN [27]) of the upstream block that provides CAS_IN [17]. This provides bumpless transfer on mode changes and windup protection in the upstream block.

September 2013

4-71

DVC6000f Digital Valve Controllers

Note
You must wire BKCAL_OUT [25] to BKCAL_IN [27] of the upstream block that provides CAS_IN [17]. Otherwise, the AO will not initialize properly, and the setpoint at CAS_IN [17] will not be passed to OUT [9].
An analog readback value, such as valve position, is shown by the process value (PV [7]) attribute in
4 engineering units. To support testing, you can enable simulation, which allows you to manually set the channel feedback. There is no alarm detection in the AO function block.
To select the manner of processing the SP and the channel output value configure the setpoint limiting options, the tracking options, and the conversion and status calculations.
Output Block PV Status
The Output Block PV Status is determined by the value of the PlantWeb Alerts Set PV Status parameter in the transducer block (PWA_SET_STATUS [97]), the Transducer Block mode, and enabled Active PlantWeb alarms. Refer to table 4-10.
Set Point Selection and Limiting
To select the source of the SP [8] value use the MODE [5] attribute. In Automatic (Auto) mode, the local, manually-entered SP [8] is used. In Cascade (Cas) mode, the SP [8] comes from another block through the CAS_IN [17] input connector. In RemoteCascade (RCas) mode, the SP [8] comes from a host computer that writes to RCAS_IN [28]. The range and units of the SP [8] are defined by the PV_SCALE [11] attribute.
In Manual (Man) mode the SP [8] automatically tracks the PV [7] value when you select the SP-PV Track in Man I/O option in IO_OPTS [14]. This option can be used to minimize valve movement when the AO block is transitioned from Manual mode to Auto. You can disable this option in OOS mode only.
The SP [8] value is limited to the range defined by the setpoint high limit attribute (SP_HI_LIM [20]) and the setpoint low limit attribute (SP_LO_LIM [21]).
In Auto mode, the rate at which a change in the SP [8] is passed to OUT [9] is limited by the values of the setpoint upward rate limit attribute (SP_RATE_UP

[19]) and the setpoint downward rate limit attribute (SP_RATE_DN [18]). A limit of zero disables rate limiting.
As shown in figure 4-10, the block executes a percentage of the set point change each macrocycle. For example, if the set point rate is set at 10% per second and the macrocycle is 500 milliseconds (0.5 seconds or 50% of 1 second), then during the first macrocycle the set point will change 5% (50% of the 10% per second rate). If the macrocycle is 750 milliseconds (0.75 seconds or 75% of 1 second), then during the first macrocycle the setpoint will change 7.5% (75% of 10).
When the transducer block receives the setpoint change from an AO block with rate limits, it will smoothly move the valve to the requested setpoint at the rate limit configured in the AO block.
In Auto mode, the converted SP [8] value is stored in the OUT [9] attribute. In Man mode, the OUT [9] attribute is set manually, and is used to set the analog output defined by the CHANNEL [22] parameter.
You can access the actuator position associated with the output channel through the READBACK [16] parameter (in OUT units) and in the PV [7] attribute (in engineering units). The digital valve controller supports position feedback and therefore provides the actual valve position in PV [7] and READBACK [16] directly.
Action On Fault Detection
To define the action you wish the valve to take when the block is in CAS mode, and the CAS_IN [17] input detects a communication failure, or is commanded to go to fault state by the upstream block or the resource block, configure the following parameters:
IO_OPTS [14]: Determines the action OUT [9] will take upon a fault state. If the IO_OPTS [14] "Fault State to Value" is not selected, then OUT [9] holds its last position when Fault State is set. If "Fault State to Value" is selected, OUT [9] goes to the FSTATE_VAL [24] value when Fault State is set.
FSTATE_TIME [23]: The length of time, in seconds, that the AO block will wait to set Fault State. When Fault State is set, the OUT [9] value goes to either the FSTATE_VAL [24] value or holds its last position, depending on I/O_OPTS [14]. When the block has a target mode of CAS, a fault condition will be detected if the CAS_IN [17] has a BAD status or an Initiate Fault State substatus is received from the upstream block.
FSTATE_VAL [24]: Determines the OUT [9] value if IO_OPTS "Fault State to Value" is selected. The OUT [9] value transitions to FSTATE_VAL [24] after FSTATE_TIME [23] elapses and the fault condition has not cleared.

I/O Options
The I/O options parameter (IO_OPTS [14]) allows you to select how the I/O signals are processed. You can set I/O options in Out of Service mode only. The following I/O options are available in the AO block:
Use PV for BKCAL_OUT--Changes the BKCAL_OUT [25] value to the PV [7] value. When the Use PV for BKCAL_OUT option is not enabled (False), the BKCAL_OUT [25] value is the working setpoint value.
Target to Man if Fault State Activated--Set the target mode to Man, thus losing the original target, if Fault State is activated. This latches an output block into the manual mode.
Use Fault State value on Restart--Use the value of FSTATE_VAL [24] for SP [8] when power is restored or if the device is restarted, otherwise use the last value saved in non-volatile memory. This does not act like Fault State, it only uses the value of FSTATE_VAL [24].
Fault State to Value--The output action to take when a fault occurs (if not selected, use hold last value; if selected, use FSTATE_VAL [24]).
Increase to Close--If the Increase to Close bit is set the value to the transducer is inverted, e.g. 20% becomes 80%.

SP-PV Track in Man--Permits the setpoint to track the process variable when the target mode of the block is MAN.
SP-PV Track in LO or IMan--Permits the setpoint to track the process variable when the actual mode of the block is LO or IMan.
SP Track retained Target--Permits the setpoint to track the RCas or Cas parameter based on the retained target mode when the actual mode of the block is LO or Man. When SP-PV track options are enabled, the SP Track retained target will have precedence in the selection of the value to track when the actual mode is Man and LO.
Simulation
When simulate is active, the transducer sub-parameters show the actual transducer block status and value as normally passed back to the AO block. The Simulate sub-parameters are writable and replace actual transducer values.

September 2013

4-73

DVC6000f Digital Valve Controllers

Note
When simulate is active, the output block no longer writes values to the transducer block. If the Output Blk Timeout period is exceeded, the transducer block may move the valve to the Zero Power Condition depending on the configuration of the Output Block Timeout Alert.

4 Application Information The configuration of an AO function block and its associated output channels depends on the specific application. A typical configuration for the Analog Output involves the following attributes:

PV_SCALE

Set the range and engineering units to values that correspond to the operation range. For the digital valve controller, PV_SCALE [11] is typically set between 0 and 100%.

BKCAL_OUT

If you are using the CAS_IN [17] connector wired from another block, wire the BKCAL_OUT [25] attribute to the other block's BKCAL_IN [27] attribute.

IO_OPTS

Set the type of tracking and action upon fault state.

SHED_OPT

Set the action to be taken when the set point or output are not updated in a remote mode.

PID Function Block Overview
The PID function block combines all of the necessary logic to perform proportional/integral/derivative (PID) control. The block supports mode control, signal scaling and limiting, feedforward control, override tracking, alarm limit detection, and signal status propagation.
The block supports two forms of the PID equation: Standard and Series. You can choose the appropriate equation using the MATHFORM [70] parameter. The Standard ISA PID equation is the default selection.

To further customize the block for use in your

4

application, you can configure filtering, feedforward

inputs, tracking inputs, setpoint and output limiting,

PID equation structures, and block output action.

Table 4-31 lists the PID block parameters and their

descriptions, units of measure, and index numbers,

and figure 4-12 illustrates the internal components of

the PID function block.

Modes
The PID function block supports the following modes:
D Manual (Man)--The block output (OUT [9]) may be set manually.
D Automatic (Auto)--The SP [8] may be set manually and the block algorithm calculates OUT [9].
D Cascade (Cas)--The SP [8] is calculated in another block and is provided to the PID block through the CAS_IN [18] connection.
D RemoteCascade (RCas)--The SP [8] is provided by a host computer that writes to the RCAS_IN [32] parameter.
D RemoteOutput (ROut)--The OUT [9] is provided by a host computer that writes to the ROUT_IN [33] parameter.
D Local Override (LO)--The track function is active. OUT [9] is set by TRK_VAL [39]. The BLOCK_ERR [6] parameter shows Local override.
D Initialization Manual (IMan)--The output path is not complete (for example, the cascade-to-slave path might not be open). In IMan mode, OUT [9] tracks BKCAL_IN [27].
D Out of Service (OOS)--The block is not processed. The OUT [9] status is set to Bad: Out of

Service. The BLOCK_ERR [6] parameter shows Out of service. You can configure the Man, Auto, Cas, and OOS modes as permitted modes for operator entry.
Mode Handling
Shed Options--RCAS Mode Only
Shed from or climb to a remote mode is determined by the parameter SHED_OPT [34]. A block climbs and

sheds through the same path. For example, if SHED_OPT [34] specifies that a block should shed to Auto, then, if the block target mode is set to RCas, the block goes through Auto on the way to RCas. You can configure the shed option as follows:
Shed With Return Options
Remote cascade or remote output connection failure shifts actual mode but keeps trying to restore remote cascade or remote output (in other words, the remote cascade or remote output target mode stays in effect).
Normal--On failure of a remote connection, the block attempts to attain the highest permitted non-remote mode until the remote connection is restored. Cas is the highest permitted non-remote mode and Auto is is

4-84

September 2013

PID Function Block

the next highest permitted non-remote mode. If Cas or Auto are not available, the block will shed by default to Man.
Retained Target--The retained target mode is the mode the block was in before changing to one of the remote target modes. On failure of a remote connection, the block attempts to attain the retained target mode.
Auto--On failure of a remote connection, the block attempts to attain Auto, if permitted, until the remote connection is restored.
Man--On failure of a remote connection, the block sheds to Man until a remote connection is restored.
Shed With No Return Options
For any shed with no return option, the target mode changes as determined by the option. Therefore, there is no attempt to restore the connection following failure. The behavior on change to a remote target mode is identical to that for Shed With Return Options.
Normal--On failure of a remote connection, the block sets the target mode to the highest permitted non-remote mode. Cas is the highest permitted non-remote mode and Auto is is the next permitted non-remote mode. If Cas or Auto are not available, the block will shed by default to Man.
Retained Target--The retained target mode is the mode the block was in before changing to one of the remote target modes. On failure of a remote connection, the block sets the target mode to the retained target mode.
Auto--On failure of a remote connection, the block sets the target mode to Auto, if permitted.
Man--On failure of a remote connection, the block sets the target mode to Man, if permitted.
The user may configure SHED_OPTS [34] so that it calls for a target mode that is not permitted. When doing this, the mode logic uses the following rules as applied by the remote logic:
D Shed logic never results in a non-permitted target mode.
D Shed logic never attempts to attain an actual mode of Auto or Cas if that mode is not permitted.
Status Handling
If the input status on the PID block is Bad, the mode of the block reverts to Manual. In addition, you can select the Target to Manual if Bad IN status option to direct

the target mode to revert to manual. You can set the status option in Manual or Out of Service mode only.

Set Point Selection and Limiting

4

The set point of the PID block is only valid when the block is in Auto, Cas, or RCas. Figure 4-13 illustrates the method for set point selection. You can configure the SP_HI_LIM [21] and SP_LO_LIM [22] parameters to limit the set point. In Cascade or Remote Cascade mode, the set point is adjusted by another function block or by a host computer, and the output is computed based on the set point.

In Automatic mode, the set point is entered manually by the operator, and the output is computed based on the set point. In Auto mode, you can also adjust the set point limit and the set point rate of change using the SP_RATE_UP [20] and SP_RATE_DN [19] parameters.

In Manual mode the output is entered manually by the operator. In Remote Output mode, the output is entered by a host computer.

Output Selection and Limiting
Output selection is determined by the mode and the set point. In Automatic, Cascade, or Remote Cascade mode, the output is computed by the PID control equation. In Manual and Remote Output mode, the output may be entered manually (see also Set Point Selection and Limiting). You can limit the output by configuring the OUT_HI_LIM [28] and OUT_LO_LIM [29] parameters.

Filtering
The filtering feature changes the response time of the device to smooth variations in output readings caused by rapid changes in input. You can adjust the filter time constant (in seconds) using the PV_FTIME [16] or SP_FTIME [69] parameters. Set the filter time constant to zero to disable the filter feature.

Feedforward Calculation
The feedforward value (FF_VAL [40]) is scaled (FF_SCALE [41]) to a common range for compatibility with the output scale (OUT_SCALE [11]). A gain value (FF_GAIN [42]) is applied to achieve the total feedforward contribution.
Output Tracking
Output tracking is enabled through the control options. You can set control options in Manual or Out of
4 Service mode only. The Track Enable control option must be set to True for the track function to operate. When the Track in Manual control option is set to True, the operator cannot override the tracking function in Manual mode. When Track in Manual is False, the operator can override the tracking function when the block is in Manual mode. Activating the track function causes the block's actual mode to revert to Local Override.
The TRK_VAL [38] parameter specifies the value to be converted and tracked into the output when the track function is operating. The TRK_SCALE [37] parameter specifies the range of TRK_VAL [38].
When the TRK_IN_D [38] parameter is True and the Track Enable control option is True, the TRK_VAL [38] input is converted to the appropriate value and output in units of OUT_SCALE [11].
Set Point Tracking
You can configure the method for tracking the set point by configuring the following control options (CONTROL_OPTS [12]):
D SP-PV Track in Man--Permits the SP [8] to track the PV [7] when the actual mode of the block is Man.
D SP-PV Track in LO or IMan--Permits the SP [8] to track the PV [7] when the actual mode of the block is Local Override (LO) or Initialization Manual (IMan).
D SP-PV Track in ROUT--Permits the SP [8] to track the PV [7] when the actual mode of the block is RemoteOut (ROUT).
D SP Track retained Target--Causes the set point to track the RCAS or CAS parameter based on the

retained target mode when the actual mode is MAN or LO.
D Act On IR--If this option is true, then when IR (Initialization Requested) is received on BKCAL_IN [27], the SP [8] will be adjusted within setpoint limits to provide bumpless transfer when the cascade is closed. If the setpoint required to provide bumpless transfer is outside the setpoint limits, then any difference added to provide bumpless transfer will be removed in the BAL_TIME [25].
When one of these options is set, the SP[8] value is set to the PV [7] value while in the specified mode. You can select the value that a master controller uses for tracking by configuring the Use PV for BKCAL_OUT control option. The BKCAL_OUT [31] value tracks the PV value. BKCAL_IN [27] on a master controller connected to BKCAL_OUT [31] on the PID block in an open cascade strategy forces its OUT [9] to match BKCAL_IN [27], thus tracking the PV from the slave PID block into its cascade input connection (CAS_IN [18]). If the Use PV for BKCAL_OUT option is not selected, the working set point (SP_WRK [68]) is used for BKCAL_OUT [31].
You can set control options in Manual or Out of Service mode only. When the mode is set to Auto, the SP [8] will remain at the last value (it will no longer follow the PV [7].
PID Equation Structures for Enhanced PID Block
Note
Extended parameters are not available at this time for all host systems. Refer to your host system documentation, or contact your Emerson Process Management sales office for additional information.
Configure the STRUCTURECONFIG [71] parameter to select the PID equation structure. You can select one of the following choices:
D Proportional, integral, and derivative on error (PID)

D Proportional and integral on error, derivative on PV (PI_D)
D Integral on error, proportional and derivative on PV (I_PD)
D Proportional on error, derivative on error (PD)
D Integral on error, derivative on error (ID)
D Integral on error, derivative on PV (I_D)
D Two degrees of Freedom (2DOF)
Reverse and Direct Action
To configure the block output action, set the Direct Acting control option. This option defines the relationship between a change in PV [7] and the corresponding change in output. With Direct Acting enabled (True), an increase in PV results in an increase in the output. You can set control options in Manual or Out of Service mode only.
Alarm Detection
A block alarm will be generated whenever the BLOCK_ERR [6] has an error bit set. The types of block error for the PID block are defined above. Process alarm detection is based on the PV [7] value. You can configure the alarm limits of the following standard alarms:
D High (HI_LIM [51])
D High high (HI_HI_LIM [49])
D Low (LO_LIM [53])
D Low low (LO_LO_LIM [55]) Additional process alarm detection is based on the difference between SP [8] and PV [7] values and can be configured via the following parameters:
D Deviation high (DV_HI_LIM [57])
D Deviation low (DV_LO_LIM [59])

Table 4-29. PID Function Block Alarm Priorities

Priority Number

Priority Description(1)

0

The alarm is disabled

An alarm condition with a priority of 1 can be recognized

1

by the system. The device monitors the alarm but does

not report it until requested by the host system.

An alarm condition with a priority of 2 is reported to the

2

operator, but generally does not require operator attention

(such as diagnostics and system alerts).

3-7

Alarm conditions of priority 3 to 7 are advisory alarms of increasing priority.

8-15

Alarm conditions of priority 8 to 15 are critical alarms of increasing priority.

1. The priority classes "advise" and critical" have no relationship to Plant Web Alerts.

4 In order to avoid alarm chattering when the variable is
oscillating around the alarm limit, an alarm hysteresis in percent of the PV span can be set using the ALARM_HYS [47] parameter. The priority of each alarm is set in the following parameters:

D HI_PRI [50]

D HI_HI_PRI [48]

D LO_PRI [52]

D LO_LO_PRI [54]

D DV_HI_PRI [56]

D DV_LO_PRI [58]
Alarms are grouped into five levels of priority, as shown in table 4-29.

Application Information
The PID function block is a powerful, flexible control algorithm that is designed to work in a variety of control strategies. The PID block is configured differently for different applications.

DeltaV Tune
DeltaV Tune quickly and automatically determines optimal tuning parameters for PID control loops. For more information on DeltaV Tune, refer to DeltaV Books Online or DeltaV documentation.

Input Selector (ISEL) Function Block Overview
The Input Selector (ISEL) function block can be used to select the first good, maximum, minimum, average, or hot backup from as many as eight input values and place it at the output. The block supports signal status propagation. There is no process alarm detection in the Input Selector function block. Figure 4-14 illustrates the internal components of the ISEL function block. Table 4-39 lists the ISEL block parameters, their index numbers, and descriptions.
Modes
The ISEL function block supports three modes of operation as defined by the MODE_BLK [5] parameter:
D Manual (Man)--The block output (OUT [7]) may be entered manually.
D Automatic (Auto)--OUT [7] reflects the selected input value.
D Out of Service (OOS)--The block is not processed. The BLOCK_ERR [6] parameter shows Out of Service. In this mode, you can make changes to all configurable parameters. The target mode of a

block may be restricted to one or more of the supported modes.
The Input Selector block Actual mode will be Out of Service if any of the following are true:
D The Actual mode of the resource block is not Auto
D The Input Selector block Target mode is Out of Service
D The Input Selector block Target mode is Auto, OP_SELECT [22] is not being used, and SELECT_TYPE [19] is 0. In this case, the BLOCK_ERR [6] parameter shows a Block Configuration Error.
The Input Selector block Actual mode will be Manual if all of the above is not true and the Target mode is Manual.
Status Handling
Quality Use and Propagation
In Auto mode, OUT [7] reflects the value and status of the selected input based on the following criteria:
D A bad or disabled input is never used by any of the selection algorithms

D For a selection algorithm to use an input with status of Uncertain, the STATUS_OPTS [10] parameter must have "Use Uncertain as Good."
D STATUS_OPTS [10] is applied before selection.
D If the number of good inputs is less than MIN_GOOD [20], or if the number of inputs evaluated is 0, the status of OUT [7] and SELECTED [21] will be Bad.
D If an input is disabled or its status is Bad and is selected via OP_SELECT [22], then the status of OUT [7] and SELECTED [21] will be Bad. If the quality of the input is Uncertain, and the selection for the STATUS_OPTS [10] parameter is "Use Uncertain as Good," then the status of OUT [7] and SELECTED [21] will be Uncertain. Otherwise the status of OUT [7] and SELECTED [21] will be Good Noncascade.
When the block is in the Manual mode the status and substatus of OUT [7] and SELECTED [21] will be as follows:
D Substatus will be non-specific and the limit will be constant.
D Quality of OUT [7] and SELECTED [21] will be Uncertain if STATUS_OPTS [10] is "Uncertain if in Manual mode." Otherwise, the quality of OUT [7] and SELECTED [21] will be Good Noncascade.

Limit Propagation
Refer to figure 4-15. When SELECT_TYPE [19] is Average, Not Limited is propagated unless all inputs have the same limit status. If all inputs have the same limit status, the limit status of the inputs is propagated.
If SELECT_TYPE [19] is Middle and the number of inputs used by the algorithm is greater than one: Not Limited is propagated unless all selected inputs have the same limit status, in which case the limit status of the inputs is propagated.
If SELECT_TYPE [19] is Middle and a single input, or if Maximum or Minimum then: If the selected input is a constant and Middle, Constant is propagated. Otherwise, if the selected input is a constant and Maximum or Minimum, propagate low if Maximum, propagate high if Minimum. If the selected input is not a constant, propagate selected input limit as is.
When SELECT_TYPE [19] is First Good or Hot Spare or if OP_SELECT [22] is non-zero, propagate selected input limit as is.
Substatus Propagation
Refer to figure 4-16. For SELECT_TYPE [19] of Maximum, Minimum, First Good, Hot Spare, and Middle with only one input, simply propagate substatus as is.
For SELECT_TYPE [19] of Maximum and Minimum with more than one input with the same value, propagate substatus if all inputs are the same.

If the status of OUT [7] is Bad, then the substatus will be as follows:
D Out of Service if the Target mode is Out of Service.
D Configuration Error with a BLOCK_ERR [6] of Configuration Error if the Actual mode is Out of Service.
D Otherwise a substatus of Non-Specific.
STATUS_OPTS Supported
In the STATUS_OPTS [10] parameter, you can select from the following options to control the status handling:
D Use Uncertain as Good--sets the OUT [7] status to Good when the selected input status is Uncertain.
D Uncertain if in Manual mode: sets the OUT [7] status to Uncertain when the mode is Manual.

average (AVG_USE [33]) is 4 and the number of connected inputs is 6, then the highest and lowest values would be dropped prior to calculating the average. If AVG_USE [33] is 2 and the number of connected inputs is 7, then the two highest and lowest values would be dropped prior to calculating the average and the average would be based on the middle three inputs.
D Middle--If the number of good usable inputs is odd, then it selects the middle value. If the number of good usable inputs is even, then it averages the middle two values and selects status as worst of two. If both inputs' limit status are not the same then it sets limit status of Not Limited.
4
D First Good--selects the first input that is not bad and not disabled, starting with IN_1 [11].
D Hot Spare--initially uses the input selected as first good. If the selected input goes bad, the first good selection is repeated. If the selected input remains good, it stays selected. If the originally selected input returns to good status the selection does not change. Selection changes only if the currently selected input goes bad.

Note
The block mode must be Out of Service to set STATUS_OPTS [10].
Input Selection
The ISEL function block reads the values and statuses of as many as eight inputs (IN_1 [11], IN_2 [12], IN_3 [13], IN_4 [14], IN_5 [25], IN_6 [26], IN_7 [27], IN_8 [28]). To use any of the six selection algorithms to select the output, OP_SELECT [22] must be 0. To specify which algorithm to use, configure the selector type parameter (SELECT_TYPE [19]) as follows:
D Maximum--selects the input with the highest value from the inputs that are not bad and not disabled.
D Minimum--selects the input with the lowest value from the inputs that are not bad and not disabled.
D Average--calculates the average value of the inputs that are not bad and not disabled and provides it as the output. For example, if the number used to

Disabling Inputs
Use the parameters DISABLE_1 [15], DISABLE_2 [16], DISABLE_3 [17], DISABLE_4 [18], DISABLE_5 [29], DISABLE_6 [30], DISABLE_7 [31] and DISABLE_8 [32] to disable the corresponding inputs. An input that is disabled will not be used by any of the selection algorithms.
The status of the disable parameter must be "Good," "Good_Cascade," or "Uncertain" with a STATUS_OPTS [10] of "Use Uncertain as Good" in order to be evaluated. If the status of the disable parameter is Bad, its last usable value is maintained and acted upon. If the device restarts, losing the last usable value, the last usable value is set to disabled. IN_1 through IN_8 and DISABLE_1 through DISABLE_8 are non-volatile type parameters so if they are Linked they will automatically have Bad status until connections are re-established. If they are not Linked, they will be restored with the previous value from NVM across device restarts.
Direct Selection of Inputs
The parameter OP_SELECT [22] can be used to select a particular input. If OP_SELECT [22] is non-zero, the selection algorithm is bypassed and the value of OP_SELECT [22] is interpreted as the input number to select. If the OP_SELECT [22] value is greater than the number of inputs, then the highest

September 2013

DVC6000f Digital Valve Controllers

input is selected. The status of OP_SELECT [22] must be "Good," "Good_Cascade," or "Uncertain" with a STATUS_OPTS [10] of "Use Uncertain as Good" in order to be evaluated. If the status of OP_SELECT [22] is Bad, then the OUT [7] status is Bad.
Identification of Selected Inputs
For a SELECT_TYPE [19] of Maximum, Minimum, Middle, First Good, and Hot Spare, SELECTED [21] indicates the number of the selected input. When Middle is computed from more than one input, SELECTED [21] is set to 0.
For a SELECT_TYPE [19] of Average, SELECTED
4 [21] indicates the number of inputs used in the average calculation.
When the block mode is Manual, SELECTED [21] is set to 0.

Alarms are grouped into five levels of priority, as shown in table 4-37.

Table 4-37. ISEL Function Block Alarm Priorities

Priority Number

Priority Description(1)

0

The priority of an alarm condition changes to 0 after the condition that caused the alarm is corrected.

An alarm condition with a priority of 1 can be recognized

1

by the system. The device monitors the alarm but does

not report it until requested by the host system.

An alarm condition with a priority of 2 is reported to the

2

operator, but generally does not require operator attention

(such as diagnostics and system alerts).

3-7

Alarm conditions of priority 3 to 7 are advisory alarms of increasing priority.

8-15

Alarm conditions of priority 8 to 15 are critical alarms of increasing priority.

1. The priority classes "advise" and critical" have no relationship to Plant Web Alerts.

Alarm Detection
A block alarm will be generated whenever the BLOCK_ERR [6] has an error bit set. The types of block error for the PID block are defined above. Process alarm detection is based on OUT [7] value. You can configure the alarm limits of the following standard alarms:
D High (HI_LIM [40])
D High high (HI_HI_LIM [38])
D Low (LO_LIM [42])
D Low low (LO_LO_LIM [44])
In order to avoid alarm chattering when the variable is oscillating around the alarm limit, an alarm hysteresis in percent of the PV span can be set using the ALARM_HYS [36] parameter. The priority of each alarm is set in the following parameters:
D HI_PRI [39]
D HI_HI_PRI [37]
D LO_PRI [41]
D LO_LO_PRI [43]
ACK_OPTION [35] is used to set automatic acknowledgement of alarms. ALARM_SUM [34] indicates the current alert status, unacknowledged states, and disabled states of the alarms associated with the function block.

Block Errors
Table 4-38 lists conditions reported in the BLOCK_ERR [6] parameter. Conditions in italics are not applicable for the ISEL block and are provided only for your reference.

mode, you can make changes to all configured

parameters.

OUT 1

By using permitted mode the target mode of a block may be restricted to one or more of the following

modes: Cas, Auto or OOS.

CAS IN

OUT 2

Figure 4-17. Output Splitter (OS) Function Block

Note
The output splitter function block must be in Auto for the mode to go to CAS.

Output Splitter (OS) Function Block Overview
The Output Splitter block provides the capability to drive two control outputs from a single input. Each output is a linear function of some portion of the input. Back calculation support is provided using the same linear function in reverse. Cascade initialization is supported by a decision table for combinations of input and output conditions.
This block is normally used in split ranging or sequencing of multiple valve applications. A typical split range application has both valves closed when the splitter input is 50%. One valve opens fully as the input drops to 0%. The other valve opens as the input rises above 50%.
A typical sequencing application has both valves closed at 0% input. One valve fully opens as the input rises to 50% and the other stays shut. The second valve opens as the input rises above 50%, and the first valve may remain open or shut off quickly.
Because this block is in the control path, it is able to pass limit and cascade initialization information back to the upstream block. Table 4-47 lists the OS block parameters and their descriptions, units of measure, and index numbers. Figures 4-18 and 4-19 illustrate the internal components of the OS function block.
Modes
The Output Splitter function block supports the following actual modes:
D Out of Service (OOS)--The block is not processed. FIELD_VAL and PV are not updated and the OUT status is set to Bad: Out of Service. The BLOCK_ERR parameter shows Out of Service. In this

4 D Initialization Manual (IMan)--The output path
is not complete (for example, the cascade-to-slave path might not be open). In IMan mode, OUT tracks BKCAL_IN, which allows for bumpless transfer of control.
D Automatic (Auto)--The block outputs (OUT_1 and OUT_2) reflect the target operating point specified by the setpoint (SP) parameter.
D Cascade (Cas)--The SP parameter is set by another function block through a connection to CAS_IN. The SP value is used to set the OUT parameters automatically. This is the most frequently used mode in this block.
The block's normal mode is Cascade (Cas). You can isolate the block for testing by using Automatic (Auto) mode and adjusting the setpoint.
When a block attached to an output requests initialization, one of the following actions might occur:
D When the other output is not in Cas mode, the block attached to the input is initialized.
D When the other output is in Cas mode, this output returns to the value calculated from its slope in a specified time period.
Status Handling
Sub-status value received at CAS_IN [14] is passed to both outputs, except for those used in the cascade handshake. An IFS goes to both outputs. The status option IFS if Bad CAS_IN is available.
If the Status Option to Propagate failure is set, the block propagates device failure only if both BKCAL_IN show failed status. Otherwise the upstream cascade would be broken by a failure at either output.
The statuses of OUT_1 [8] and OUT_2 [9] are determined by the statuses of BKCAL_IN_1 and BKCAL_IN_2 and the actual mode of the block.

Figure 4-19. Output Splitter Function Block Schematic Diagram

When a BKCAL_IN input sees that its downstream block is not in Cas mode, the Splitter function block sets the corresponding OUT value to the BKCAL_IN value. However, this may not be the same value that is calculated by the splitter algorithm. When the mode of the downstream block is changed to Cas, the difference between the calculated output and the back-calculation input is computed and the difference is added to the calculated output. Next, the difference

is reduced to zero over the time defined by the BAL_TIME parameter.
When both BKCAL_IN_1 and BKCAL_IN_2 indicate that the downstream blocks are not in Cas mode or have Bad status, the first downstream block that goes to Cas mode causes the upstream block to initialize so that there is no difference between the calculated

output and the back-calculation input. This provides bumpless transfer for the first downstream block.
Limit Handling
The splitter function block is designed to combine the limit information from the two downstream blocks into limits for the upstream block. The general principle is to allow the upstream block to continue control for as long as possible. The upstream block is high-limited (BKCAL_OUT of the Splitter block has high-limited status) when:
D Both downstream blocks are high-limited (both BKCAL_INS of the Splitter block have high-limited status)
or
D One downstream block is high-limited, the associated output slope is positive, and the other block has Bad status or is not in Cas mode
or
D One downstream block is low-limited, the associated output slope is negative, and the other block has Bad status or is not in Cas mode
or
D SP is greater than or equal to X22
The upstream block is low-limited when:
D Both downstream blocks are low-limited
or
D One downstream block is low-limited, the associated output slope is positive, and the other block has Bad status or is not in Cas mode
or
D One downstream block is high-limited, the associated output slope is negative, and the other block has Bad status or is not in Cas mode
or
D SP is less than or equal to X11

Input to Output Mapping
The relationship of each output to the input may be defined by a line. Each line may be defined by its endpoints. Examples of graphical representations of OUT_1 and OUT_2 vs. SP are shown in figure 4-20 for a split range and a sequencing application.

The block has the same SP structure as the PID block, except that there is no limiting applied to the SP. The SP may be used in Auto mode for testing. The operator would use the output of the PID to accomplish the same purpose. Each downstream block can be taken out of cascade if it becomes necessary to gain control of them.

The examples shown in figure 4-20 do not show the full range of possibilities. The lines could overlap like an X, or both start from the origin but have different slopes. The endpoints do not have to lie within 0-100%. Limits in the external blocks may effect the useful range of a line. Units of percent are used in the examples because the common application of this block is to valves, but any units may be used to suit the application.
The following parameters as paired coordinates are used to specify the output splitter operation:

X11, Y11, X12, Y12
X21, Y21, X22, Y22
Where XnJ is the value of SP associated with OUT_n and Xn1 and Xn2 refer to the 1st and 2nd coordinates of the nth curve respectively. YnJ is the value of OUT_n and Yn1 and Yn2 refer to the 1st and 2nd coordinates of the nth curve respectively.

By specifying the coordinates as shown in tables 4-44 and 4-45, the endpoints of the lines are defined. The contents of the respective X's are held in the IN_ARRAY parameter and the contents of the respective Y's are held in the OUT_ARRAY

parameter. If a set of points are specified such that a region of the input range is not specified, then the corresponding OUT_n will be set to the closest endpoint of the input value, either high or low, when the specified region is exceeded.
A configuration error is set in BLOCK_ERR and the actual mode of the block goes to Out of Service if the X values have any of the following conditions: X21 < X11, X12 < = X11, X22 < = X21.
Refer to figure 4-21 for an example of LOCKVAL = true, and figure 4-22 for an example of LOCKVAL = false. The parameter LOCKVAL provides an option to specify whether OUT_1 remains at its ending level when control is switched to OUT_2, or goes to Y11. If LOCKVAL is true, OUT_1 remains at its ending value when X is greater than X12. If LOCKVAL is false, then OUT_1 goes to Y11 when X is greater than X12 .

If X12-HYSTVAL < X < X12 and X has not reached X12 since it was less than X12-HYSTVAL, OUT_1 may be determined by the calculated y value. If X12-HYSTVAL < X < X12 and X has reached X12 since it was less than X12-HYSTVAL, OUT_1 may be determined by the LOCKVAL setting. If X12 < X, OUT_1 may be determined by the LOCKVAL setting.

CAS_IN of the Splitter receives the OUT of PID1. BKCAL_IN of PID1 receives BKCAL_OUT of the Splitter. CAS_IN of the AO receives OUT_1 of the Splitter and PID2 receives OUT_2 of the Splitter. BKCAL_IN_1 of the Splitter receives BKCAL_OUT of the AO and BKCAL_IN_2 of the Splitter receives BKCAL_OUT of PID2.
The discussion in this section defines the behavior which is used to handle the initial value calculation and status which can in turn be sent to PID1. This behavior is defined in such a way that no "bumps" are generated by changing modes, and that PID1 does not wind up.
The splitter utilizes special handling for cascade initialization because it has two independent outputs. When a downstream block indicates to the splitter that it wants to initialize, by asserting IR (initialization request) on its BKCAL_OUT, one of two things happens. Under some circumstances, it is possible to pass an initialization request from a downstream block back up to the block upstream of the splitter, so that all three blocks balance for bumpless transfer to cascade mode. Otherwise, the requested splitter output goes to the requested value by placing an internal offset between that output and the output of the curve, and then ramping that offset to zero in BAL_TIME seconds after the cascade is made up.
The splitter normally runs with both outputs connected to blocks in cascade mode. If one or both of the blocks is not in cascade mode, special limiting action is taken. Specifically, if one block indicates that it is not in cascade by NI (not invited) status on its BKCAL_OUT, then the BKCAL_OUT of the splitter asserts limits at the range extremes of the block that is still in cascade

mode. Even if the upstream controller does not want to operate in that range, there will be no reset windup when it can move into the range. If both downstream blocks show NI, then the splitter can only wait until one of them requests cascade initialization. BKCAL_OUT of the splitter can hold the upstream block at the value of the SP. The actual mode is IMan.
When cascade initialization is requested, by IR substatus on a BKCAL_IN, it is first necessary to determine if the other BKCAL_IN has NI substatus. If so, the value at the BKCAL_IN asserting IR is taken as the Y value for its curve, and the resulting X value is sent on BKCAL_OUT to PID1. If the other substatus is OK, then the internal offset and BAL_TIME is used. If both blocks have IR substatus, then one output is processed until its cascade is closed. The choice is based on the presence of limit status in BKCAL_IN. If BKCAL_IN_1 is limited, then if BKCAL_IN_2 is not limited then OUT_2 is processed first, else OUT_1 is processed first.

Cascade initialization is also required when the block transitions from Auto to Cas mode. This action is identical to that described for the PID block.
The required actions are summarized in table 4-46.
The BKCAL_OUT status shows limited high if an increase in SP cannot be effectively passed on to either output because the BKCAL_IN_n of both outputs indicates that a move in the needed direction is limited. Similarly, limited low is set if a decrease in SP cannot be effectively passed on to either output. The slope of the limited line(s) affects the limit
4

direction. BKCAL_OUT also shows limit status at the X extremes X11 and X22.
Initialization is not automatic under all circumstance because some situations have conflicting needs. In general, when a control region is in trouble, the upstream controller is limited so it will not drive further into that region. When you want to move to the other active region, you can put the upstream controller into Man mode and move it, or you can drop the good downstream block out of Cas mode for one evaluation cycle and then restore Cas mode. This initializes the upstream controller to the remaining good region of control.

Analog Input (AI) Function Block Overview
The Analog Input (AI) function block processes field device measurements and makes them available to other function blocks. The output value from the AI block is in engineering units and contains a status indicating the quality of the measurement. The measuring device may have several measurements or derived values available in different channels. Use the channel number to define the variable that the AI block processes.
The AI block supports alarming, signal scaling, signal filtering, signal status calculation, mode control, and simulation. In Automatic mode, the block's output parameter (OUT [8]) reflects the process variable (PV [7]) value and status. In Manual mode, OUT [8] may be set manually. The Manual mode is reflected on the output status. A discrete output (OUT_D [37]) is provided to indicate whether a selected alarm condition is active. Alarm detection is based on the OUT [8] value and user specified alarm limits. Figure 4-26 illustrates the internal components of the AI function block, and table 4-56 lists the AI block parameters and their units of measure, descriptions, and index numbers.
Analog Input Block Modes
The AI function block supports three modes of operation as defined by the MODE_BLK [5] parameter:

Alarm Detection
A block alarm will be generated whenever the BLOCK_ERR [6] has an error bit set. The types of block errors for the AI block are defined in table 4-54. Process Alarm detection is based on the OUT [8] value. You can configure the alarm limits of the following standard alarms:
D High (HI_LIM [28])
D High high (HI_HI_LIM [26])
D Low (LO_LIM [30])
D Low low (LO_LO_LIM [32])
In order to avoid alarm chattering when the variable is oscillating around the alarm limit, an alarm hysteresis in percent of the PV [7] span can be set using the ALARM_HYS [24] parameter. The priority of each alarm is set in the following parameters:
D HI_PRI [27]
D HI_HI_PRI [25]
D LO_PRI [29]
D LO_LO_PRI [31]
Alarms are grouped into five levels of priority, as shown in table 4-52.

Table 4-52. AI Function Block Alarm Priorities

Priority Number

Priority Description(1)

0

The priority of an alarm condition changes to 0 after the condition that caused the alarm is corrected.

1

An alarm condition with a priority of 1 is recognized by the system, but is not reported to the operator.

An alarm condition with a priority of 2 is reported to the

2

operator, but generally does not require operator attention

(such as diagnostics and system alerts).

3-7

Alarm conditions of priority 3 to 7 are advisory alarms of increasing priority.

8-15

Alarm conditions of priority 8 to 15 are critical alarms of increasing priority.

1. The priority classes "advise" and critical" have no relationship to Plant Web Alerts.

Propagate Fail Forward--If the status from the sensor is Bad, Device failure or Bad, Sensor failure, propogate it to OUT without generating an alarm. The use of these sub-status in OUT is determined by this option. Through this option, you may determine whether alarming (sending out an alert) will be done by the block or propagated downstream for alarming.

Status Handling
The AI block only gets Good Non-Specified Unlimited or Bad Device Failure for status from the transducer. This is reflected in FIELD_VAL.STATUS [19.1]. PV.STATUS [7.1] is the same as FIELD_VAL.STATUS [19.1]. OUT.STATUS [8.1] can also reflect Bad, Out of Service in addition to PV.STATUS [7.1] values.
In the STATUS_OPTS [14] parameter, you can select from the following options to control the status handling:
4-130

Note
1. The instrument must be in Out of Service mode to set the status option. 2. The AI block only supports the Uncertain if in Manual and Propagate failure. Unsupported options are not grayed out; they appear on the screen in the same manner as supported options.

You can choose from direct, indirect, or indirect square root signal conversion with the L_TYPE [16] parameter.

Filtering
The filtering feature changes the response time of the device to smooth variations in output readings caused by rapid changes in input. You can adjust the filter time constant (in seconds) using the PV_FTIME [18] parameter. Set the filter time constant to zero to disable the filter feature.

Direct
Direct signal conversion allows the signal to pass through the accessed channel input value (or the simulated value when simulation is enabled).
PV = Channel Value

Signal Conversion
You can set the signal conversion type with the Linearization Type (L_TYPE [16]) parameter. You can view the converted signal (in percent of XD_SCALE [10]) through the FIELD_VAL [19] parameter.
FIELD_VAL = 100 X (Channel Value) - EU *@0% (EU *@100% - EU *@0%)
*XD_SCALE values

Indirect
Indirect signal conversion converts the signal linearly to the accessed channel input value (or the simulated value when simulation is enabled) from its specified range (XD_SCALE [10]) to the range and units of the PV [7] and OUT [8] parameters (OUT_SCALE [11]).

AI Function Block

Advanced Features
The AI function block provided with the DVC6000f provides added capability through the addition of the following parameters:
ALARM_SEL--Allows one or more of the process alarm conditions detected by the AI function block to be used in setting its OUT_D [37] parameter.
OUT_D--Discrete output of the AI function block based on the detection of process alarm condition(s). This parameter may be linked to other function blocks that require a discrete input based on the detected alarm condition.
STDDEV and CAP_STDDEV-- are diagnostic parameters that can be used to determine the variability of the process.
Simulation
To support testing, you can either change the mode of the block to manual and adjust the output value, or you can enable simulation through the configuration tool and manually enter a value for the measurement value and its status. To enable simulation, you must first install the Simulate Enable jumper across the instrument AUX terminals (see page 2-30). Next you must use the configuration tool to enable the parameter SIMULATE [9].
With simulation enabled, the actual measurement value has no impact on the OUT [8] value or the status.

Block Errors
Table 4-54 lists conditions reported in the BLOCK_ERR [6] parameter. Conditions in italics are inactive for the AI block and are given here only for your reference.

D XD_SCALE [10]. UNITS_INDEX must match the units in

the transducer block channel value.

D L_TYPE [16] must be set to Direct, Indirect, or Indirect

Square Root and cannot be left at an initial value of 0.

4

Resource block

The actual mode of the Resource block is OOS. See Resource Block Diagnostics for corrective action.

Schedule

Block is not scheduled and therefore cannot execute to go to Target Mode. Schedule the block to execute.

Process and/or block alarms will not work Features

FEATURES_SEL [18] in the resource block does not have Alerts enabled. Enable the Reports Supported bit.

Notification

LIM_NOTIFY [32] in the resource block is not high enough. Set equal to MAX_NOTIFY [31], also in the resource block.

Status Options

STATUS_OPTS [14] has Propagate Fault Forward bit set. This should be cleared to cause an alarm to occur.

Value of output does not make sense

Linearization Type

L_TYPE [16] must be set to Direct, Indirect, or Indirect Square Root and cannot be left at an initial value of 0.

Scaling

Scaling parameters are set incorrectly: D XD_SCALE.EU0 and EU100 should match that of the transducer block channel value. D OUT_SCALE.EU0 and EU100 are not set properly.

Cannot set HI_LIMIT [28], HI_HI_LIMIT [26], LO_LIMIT [30], or LO_LO_LIMIT [32] VALUES

Scaling

Limit values are outside the OUT_SCALE.EU0 and OUT_SCALE.EU100 values. Change OUT_SCALE [11] or set values within range.

D Automatic (Auto)--OUT_1 to OUT_8 [8 through 15] reflects the analog input measurement or the simulated value when the simulation is enabled.
D Out of Service (OOS)--The block is not processed. PV is not updated and the OUT status is set to Bad: Out of Service. The BLOCK_ERR [6] parameter shows Out of Service. In this mode, you can make changes to all configurable parameters. The target mode of a block may be restricted to one or more of the supported modes.

Multiple Analog Input (MAI) Function Block Overview
The Multiple Analog Input (MAI) function block has the ability to process up to eight field device measurements and make them available to other function blocks. The output values from the MAI block are in engineering units and contain a status indicating the quality of the measurement. The measuring device may have several measurements or derived values available in different channels. Use the channel numbers to define the variables that the MAI block processes.
The MAI block supports mode control. In Automatic mode, the block's output parameters (OUT_1 to OUT_8 [8 through 15]) reflects the process variable (PV) values and status. In Manual mode, OUT may be set manually. The Manual mode is reflected in the output status. Table 4-63 lists the MAI block parameters, and their units of measure, description and index numbers.

Status Handling
In Man mode, the OUT status constant limit is set to indicate that the value is a constant and the OUT status is Good. OUT_X status will be Bad if the transducer detects a problem with sensor associated with the channel.
Application Information
The intended use is for applications where it is necessary to convey DVC6000f measurements from a function. The configuration of the MAI function block and its associated output channels depends on the specific application.

Modes
The MAI Function Block supports three modes of operation as defined by the MODE_BLK [5] parameter:
D Manual (Man)--The block output (OUT_1 to OUT_8 [8 through 15]) may be set manually.

D CHANNEL [7]: Channel must always be set to 21.
The output parameters (OUT_1 to OUT_8 [8 through 15]) are set through the transducer block Instrument menu. Each output has a channel assigned to it in MAI Channel Map (TB.MAI_CHANNEL_MAP [95]) in the transducer block. For additional information, refer to table 4-63.

Note
Actual Block Mode (MODE_BLK.ACTUAL [5.2]) will remain in IMAN and the block Readback status will be Bad - Not Connected if the Output Block Selection is set incorrectly. From the transducer block method Outblock Selection, select the desired output block, see page 4-26.

Discrete Output (DO) Function Block Overview
The Discrete Output (DO) function block processes a discrete set point and outputs it to the specified I/O channel to produce an output signal. The DVC6000f digital valve controller discrete output block provides both normal open/closed control and the ability to position the valve in 5% increments for coarse throttling applications. The digital valve controller measures and uses actual valve position for READBACK_D [16].
The DO block supports mode control and simulation. In operation, the DO function block determines its set point and sets the output. The transducer block provides a readback signal of actual position from the instrument. Figure 4-28 illustrates the primary inputs and outputs of the DO function block, figure 4-29 illustrates the internal components of the DO function block. Table 4-71 lists definitions for the function block parameters.
When setting up the DO block, CHANNEL [18] must be set to 22, and SHED_OPT [23] must be non-zero.
Note
Actual Block Mode (MODE_BLK.ACTUAL [5.2]) will remain out of service and the block cannot be scheduled if the block has not been licensed. Contact your Emerson Process Management sales office to upgrade product licensing.

Modes
The DO block supports the following modes:
D Manual (Man)--The block output OUT_D [9] value may be entered manually.
D Automatic (Auto)--The block algorithm uses the local set point SP_D [8]value to determine OUT_D [9].
D Cascade (Cas)--The block uses a set point supplied by another function block.
Note
The transducer block must be in Auto for the mode to go to AUTO, CAS or MAN.
D RemoteCascade (RCas)--The block uses a set point supplied by a host computer.
D Out of Service (OOS)--The block is not processed and the output is not transferred to I/O. The BLOCK_ERR [6] attribute shows Out of service.

DO Function Block

Mode Handling
Shed Options -- RCAS Mode Only
Shed from or climb to a remote mode is determined by the parameter SHED_OPT [23]. A block climbs and sheds through the same path. For example, if SHED_OPT [23] specifies that a block should shed to Auto, then, if the block target mode is set to RCas, the block goes through Auto on the way to RCas. You can configure the shed option as follows:
Shed With Return Options
Remote cascade connection failure shifts actual mode but keeps trying to restore remote cascade (in other words, the remote cascade target mode stays in effect).
Normal--On failure of a remote cascade connection, the block attempts to attain the highest permitted non-remote mode until remote cascade is restored. Cas is the highest permitted non-remote mode and Auto is is the next permitted non-remote mode. If Cas or Auto are not available, the block will shed by default to Man.
Retained Target--The retained target mode is the target mode for the block before changing the target mode to a remote mode. On failure of a remote cascade connection, the block attempts to attain the retained target mode.
Auto--On failure of a remote cascade connection, the block attempts to attain Auto, if permitted, until remote cascade is restored.
Man--On failure of a remote cascade connection, the block sheds to Man until a remote cascade connection is restored.
Shed With No Return Options
For any shed with no return option, the target mode changes as determined by the option. Therefore, there is no attempt to restore the connection following failure. The behavior on change to the remote cascade target mode is identical to that for Shed With Return Options.
Normal--On failure of a remote cascade connection, the block sets the target mode to the highest permitted non-remote mode. Cas is the highest permitted non-remote mode and Auto is is the next highest permitted non-remote mode. If Cas or Auto are not available, the block will shed by default to Man.
Retained Target--The retained target mode is the target mode for the block before changing the target mode to a remote mode. On failure of a remote cascade connection, the block sets the target mode to the retained target mode.

Auto--On failure of a remote cascade connection, the block sets the target mode to Auto, if permitted.
Man--On failure of remote cascade connection, the block sets the target mode to Man, if permitted.
The user may configure SHED_OPT [23] so that it calls for a target mode that is not permitted. When doing this, the mode logic uses the following rules as applied by the remote logic:
D Shed logic never results in a non-permitted target mode.

D Shed logic never attempts to attain an actual mode of Auto or Cas if that mode is not permitted.

4

Block Initialization
The Fieldbus Foundation specification requires that certain parameters have initial values of uninitialized in function blocks. In addition to setting the Resource block mode to AUTO, the control system or the user must change those parameters from their uninitialized value to a valid value in order for the function block to move from the Out of Service mode. For the DO function block, the parameters that must be initialized are:
SHED_OPT [23] (see page 4-151 for valid values)
CHANNEL [18]
Status Handling
Under normal operating conditions, the status of OUT_D [9] is Good Non-Cascade, and the status of BKCAL_OUT_D [21] is Good:Cascade. If the output hardware fails, the status of BKCAL_OUT_D [21] is set to Bad:Device Fail, and the BLOCK_ERR [6] shows Output Failure. If the hardware used for output feedback fails, the status of READBACK_D [16] and PV_D [7] is set to Bad:DeviceFail, and the BLOCK_ERR [6] shows Process Variable has Bad Status. If the transducer block mode is Out of Service, the status of READBACK_D [16] and PV_D [7] is set to Bad:Out of Service.

To select the I/O associated with the discrete output, configure the value of the CHANNEL [18] parameter. Table 4-68 lists the valid Channel selections for the DO block.
Setting the Output
To set the output for the DO block, you must first set the mode to define the manner in which the block determines its set point and output. In Cascade mode, the set point equals the input value at the CAS_IN_D [17] parameter. In Automatic or Manual mode, the set point must be entered manually by the user. For Automatic, the value must be written to the SP_D [8] parameter and for Manual, the value must be written to OUT_D [9]. In Remote Cascade mode, the set point is determined by a host computer that is writing to the RCAS_IN_D [22] parameter. Table 4-69 lists discrete states used by the digital valve controller for the set point.
To further customize the output, configure the following supported I/O options: SP tracks PV in Man,

Note
You can configure the supported I/O options in Out of Service mode only.
The SP_PV Track in Man option permits the set point to track the process variable when the block is in Manual mode. With this option enabled, the set point (SP_D [8]) becomes a copy of the process variable

(PV_D [7]), and a manually-entered SP_D [8] value is overwritten on the block's next execution cycle. This option can prevent a state change when transitioning from Manual to Automatic mode. You can disable this option in Manual or Out of Service mode only.
The Invert option inverts the set point at SP_D [8] before it is stored in OUT_D [9]. With this option enabled, OUT_D [9] becomes an inverted copy of SP_D [8] where non-zero values of SP_D [8] are considered a logic 1. With this option disabled, OUT_D [9] is a direct copy of SP_D [8]. The readback value is processed through the Invert option to become PV_D [7]. The Use PV for BKCAL_OUT option specifies that BKCAL _OUT equal the value of the process variable (PV_D [7]) instead of the set point (SP_D [8]). If you do not enable this option, BKCAL_OUT will equal SP_D [8].

Output Block PV Status
The Output Block PV Status is determined by the value of the PlantWeb Alerts Set PV Status parameter in the transducer block (PWA_SET_STATUS [97]), the Transducer Block mode, and enabled Active PlantWeb alarms. Refer to table 4-10.

Block Errors
Table 4-70 lists conditions reported in the BLOCK_ERR [6] parameter. Conditions in italics are not applicable for the DO block and are provided only for your reference.
Action on Fault Detection
Fault State is caused by one of three sources: A status pertaining to CAS, A status pertaining to RCAS, or SET_FSTATE [29] in the resource block. To implement Fault State, configure the following parameters:
IO_OPTS [14]: Determines the action OUT_D [9] will take upon a fault state. If the IO_OPTS [14] "Fault State to Value" is not selected, then OUT_D [9] holds its last position when Fault State is set. If "Fault State to Value" is selected, OUT_D [9] goes to the FSTATE_VAL_D [20] value when Fault State is set.
FSTATE_TIME [19]: The length of time, in seconds, that the DO block will wait to set Fault State. When

September 2013

DVC6000f Digital Valve Controllers

Fault State is set, the OUT_D [9] value goes to either the FSTATE_VAL_D [20] value or holds its last position, depending on I/O_OPTS [14]. When the block has a target mode of CAS, a fault condition will be detected if the CAS_IN_D [17] has a BAD status or an Initiate Fault State substatus is received from the upstream block.
FSTATE_VAL_D [20]: Determines the OUT_D [9] value if IO_OPTS [14] "Fault State to Value" is selected. The OUT_D [9] value transitions to FSTATE_VAL_D [20] after FSTATE_TIME [19] elapses and the fault condition has not cleared.
4
Simulation
To support testing of the control strategy, you can enable the SIMULATE_D [17] parameter. Normally, the valve position value and status used for READBACK_D [16] in the DO block reflect actual process values to the nearest 5%, as provided by the transducer block. When the SIMULATE_D [17] parameter is enabled, value and status used for READBACK_D [16] is supplied by the user manually. To enable simulation in the DO function block, the simulate jumper must be installed. For information on the installation of this jumper, see the page 2-30 Installation section.

Note
When simulate is active, the output block no longer writes values to the transducer block. If the Output Blk Timeout period is exceeded, the transducer block may move the valve to the Zero Power Condition depending on the configuration of the Output Block Timeout Alert.
The SIMULATE_D [10] parameter has three components:
D Simulate Enable_Disable determines whether the function block will use the actual valve position value and status, or Simulate Value and Simulate Status.
D Transducer Value and Status reflect the process values provided by the transducer block.
D Simulate Value and Status may be entered by the user when Simulate Enable_Disable is set to Enabled.
To use simulate, first install the simulate jumper in the terminal box, then set Simulate Enable_Disable to Enabled, then enter the desired values for Simulate Value and Status.
When SIMULATE_D [10] is Enabled, the Simulate Active bit of the BLOCK_ERR [6] parameter is set (refer to the Block Errors description). When the simulate jumper is installed, the Simulate Jumper bit of the transducer block parameter SELFTEST_STATUS [78] is set.

Block Initialization
The Fieldbus Foundation specification requires that certain parameters in the function blocks have initial values of uninitialized. In addition to setting the Resource block mode to AUTO, the control system or the user must change those parameters from their uninitialized value to a valid value in order for the function block to move from the Out of Service mode. For the DI function block, the CHANNEL [15] parameter must be initialized.

Discrete Input (DI) Function Block
4 Overview
The Discrete Input (DI) function block processes a single discrete input from a field device and makes it available to other function blocks. You can configure inversion and alarm detection on the input value. In the DVC6000f digital valve controller, the discrete input function block can provide limit switch functionality and valve position proximity detection. The DI function block supports mode control, signal status propagation, and simulation.
Normally, the block is used in Automatic mode so that the process variable (PV_D [7]) is copied to the output (OUT_D [8]). You can change the mode to Manual to disconnect the field signal and substitute a manually-entered value for the output. In this case, PV_D [7] continues to show the value that will become the OUT_D [8] when the mode is changed to Automatic.
To support testing, you can enable simulation, which allows the measurement value to be supplied manually through the SIMULATE_D [9] parameter. Figure 4-31 illustrates the internal components of the DI function block, and table 4-80 lists the definitions of the block parameters.

Status Handling
Under normal conditions, a Good: Non-Cascade status is passed through to OUT_D [8]. The block also supports the Status Action On Failure and BLOCK_ERR [6] indications. When SIMULATE_D [9] is enabled, FIELD_VAL_D [7], PV_D [7], and OUT_D [8] change to the simulated status. When the block is set to Manual mode, OUT_D [7] is set to Good: Non-cascade, Constant status.
I/O Selection
To select the I/O associated with the discrete measurement, configure the value of the CHANNEL [15] parameter. In the digital valve controller, the four classes of channels are
D Valve travel

Modes
The Discrete Input function block supports the following modes:
D Manual (Man)--The block output (OUT_D [8]) is disconnected from the field and set manually.
D Automatic (Auto)--The block algorithm determines output.
D Out of Service (OOS)--The block is not processed. The OUT_D [8] status is set to Bad: Out of Service. The BLOCK_ERR [6] parameter shows Out of Service.

D Open/Closed limit switch
D Variable limit switch based on transducer block travel alarm settings.
D Proximity position detection based on transducer block travel alarm settings.
The CHANNEL [15] parameter for each of the four DI blocks available in the digital valve controller may be set independently to achieve the desired position detection. The DI block CHANNEL [15] definitions are listed in table 4-76. Refer to the following descriptions for details of the operation of these channels.

Valve Travel
Channel 23 provides valve travel.
0 = Closed, 1 = 100% open, 5 = 5% open, 10 = 10% open, 15 = 15% open, etc.
Open/Closed Limit Switch
Channels 24 and 25 provide valve open and closed limit switch functionality for the DI block. These channels will detect if the valve position is more than the Travel Open Alert Point for open detection or less than the Travel Closed Alert Point for closed detection. These channels provide an adjustable deadband to clear the detected position.
0= Not Active, 1= Active

Variable Limit Switch
Channels 26 through 29 provide variable limit switch functionality for the DI block. Trip points for this limit switch functionality are based on the Travel Alert settings in the transducer Block. The DI function block provides the same type of position detection as the travel alerts in the transducer block. Table 4-77 lists the transducer block parameters used with DI block channels 26 through 29. Refer to Travel and Prox, on page 4-31 for more information on the transducer block travel alerts.

Valve Position Proximity Detection
Channels 30 through 33 provide valve position proximity detection for the DI block. The transducer block Travel Alert Point and Travel Alert Deadband parameters are also used with the valve position proximity, but they provide a different function. The Travel Alert Point for the selected channel determines the center point for the position to be detected. The Travel Alert Deadband for the selected channel sets the upper and lower trigger points, or the width of the proximity detection band. A 1% deadzone exists above and below this band that the travel must exceed to clear the detected position. Figure 4-32 illustrates the operation of the proximity detection function. Travel Alert Point refers to Travel Lo Alert Point, Travel Hi Alert Point, Travel Lo Lo Alert Point, and Travel Hi Hi Alert Point in table 4-78. Travel Alert Deadband refers to Travel Lo Alert Deadband, Travel Hi Alert Deadband, Travel Lo Lo Alert Deadband, and Travel Hi Hi Alert Deadband in table 4-78.

be used to set the length of time that FIELD_VAL_D [17] must be in a new state before that new state is reflected in PV_D. The PV_D [7] value goes to the mode switch where it becomes OUT_D [8] when the actual mode is AUTO. OUT_D [8] is also tested for an alarm state.

Note
Invert is the only I/O option that the DI block supports. You can set the I/O option only when the block mode is Out of Service.

Field Value Processing
The Invert bit of the IO_OPTS [13] parameter may be used to logically invert the value of FIELD_VAL_D [17] before it is stored as PV_D [7]. PV_FTIME [16] may

Alarm Detection
To select the state that initiates an input alarm, and to set discrete alarm substatus in the output, configure the DISC_LIM [23] parameter. You can enter any value between 0 and 255. A value of 255 disables the alarm. When OUT_D [8] matches the DISC_LIM [23] state, the discrete value of an alarm is set.

Block Errors
Table 4-79 lists conditions reported in the BLOCK_ERR [6] parameter. Conditions in italics are not applicable for the DI block and are provided only for your reference.
Action on Failure
In case of hardware failure, FIELD_VAL_D [17], PV_D [7], and OUT_D [8] change to a Bad status and the BLOCK_ ERR [6] parameter shows Process Variable has Bad Status. If the transducer block mode is Out of Service, the status of FIELD_VAL_D [17], PV_D [7], and OUT_D [8] is set to Bad:Out of Service.
Simulation
To support testing of the control strategy, you can enable the SIMULATE_D [9] parameter. Normally the measurement value and status used for FIELD_VAL_D [17] in the DI block reflect actual process values as provided by the transducer block. When the SIMULATE_D [9] parameter is enabled, value and status used for FIELD_VAL_D [17] is supplied by the user manually. To enable simulation in the DI function block, the simulate jumper must be

installed. For information on the installation of this jumper, see the Installation section.
The SIMULATE_D [9] parameter has three components:
D Simulate_D enable/disable determines whether the function block will use the actual process value and status, or Simulate Value and Simulate Status.
D Transducer Value and Status reflect the process values provided by the transducer block.
D Simulate Value and Status may be entered by the user when enable/disable is set to enabled.
To use simulate, first install the simulate jumper in the terminal box, then set Simulate_D enable/disable to enabled, then enter the desired values for Simulate Value and Status.

September 2013

DVC6000f Digital Valve Controllers

When SIMULATE_D [9] is enabled, the Simulate Active bit of the BLOCK_ERR [6] parameter is set (refer to the Block Errors description). When the simulate jumper is installed, the Simulate Jumper bit of the transducer block parameter SELFTEST_STATUS [78] is set.
Application Information
Figure 4-33 compares the operation of a standard discrete input to a proximity discrete input. With the

standard discrete input, the discrete input changes state when the valve position passes a configurable trip point. This can be used to indicate if the valve position is above or below the trip point.
With the proximity discrete input a configurable band can be established about a central point. Whenever the valve position enters this configurable band, the discrete input changes state. A proximity discrete input is useful for applications which require knowing the location of the valve when the valve is not near 0% or 100%.

DVC6000f Digital Valve Controllers

Calibration
When a DVC6000f digital valve controller is ordered as part of a control valve assembly, the factory mounts the digital valve controller on the actuator and connects the necessary tubing, then sets up and calibrates the instrument. For remote-mounted digital valve controllers, the DVC6005f base unit ships separately from the control valve and does not include tubing, fittings or wiring.
For digital valve controllers that are ordered separately, recalibration of the pressure sensors generally is unnecessary. However, after mounting on an actuator, perform the initial setup, (either auto or manual) then calibrate travel by selecting Auto Calibration or Manual Calibration. For more detailed calibration information, refer to the following calibration
5 procedures, available from the Calibration menu: D Auto Calibration--This procedure automatically calibrates the travel. The calibration procedure uses the valve and actuator stops as the 0% and 100% calibration points.
D Manual Calibration--This calibration procedure allows you to manually determine the 0% and 100% calibration points on the valve.
D Relay--This procedure permits adjustment of the pneumatic relay when switching from single-acting to double-acting or back.
D Travel Sensor--This procedure permits calibrating the travel sensor. Normally the travel sensor is calibrated at the factory. Calibrating the travel sensor should only be necessary if the travel sensor is replaced.
D Supply Pressure--This procedure permits calibrating the supply pressure sensor. Normally this sensor is calibrated at the factory and should not need calibration.
D Pressure A--This procedure permits calibrating the Output A Sensor. Normally this sensor is calibrated at the factory, and should not need calibration.
D Pressure B--This procedure permits calibrating the Output B sensor. Normally this sensor is calibrated at the factory, and should not need calibration.

Note
The Transducer Block Mode must be set to Manual and the Protection set to None before the instrument can be calibrated.
Travel Calibration
There are two procedures available for calibrating travel:
D Auto Calibration
D Manual Calibration
Note
Prior to Calibration, several parameters need to be set up. Travel mode needs to be selected in TVL_PRESS_CNTL [41], and in Basic Setup (BASIC_SETUP [42]) the following parameters must be configured: Actuator Style (ACTUATOR_STYLE [42. 1]), Zero Power Condition (ZERO_PWR_COND [42.2], Feedback Connection (FEEDBACK_CONN [42.4]), Relay Type (RELAY_TYPE [42.5]), and Travel Tuning Set (TVL_TUNING_SET [42.10]). Autocal will automatically set Travel Sensor Motion (TRAVEL_SEN_MOTION [42.3]), however, this will need to be selected prior to Manual Calibration. These parameter are set automatically by Device Setup, with the exception of Relay Type (RELAY_TYPE [42.5]). Relay Type needs to be changed only if relay B is used.

Auto Calibration
(TB > Configure/Setup > Calibration > Auto Calibration)
WARNING
During calibration the valve will move full stroke. To avoid personal injury and property damage caused by the release of process fluid or pressure, isolate the valve from the process and equalize pressure on both sides of the valve or bleed off the process fluid.

Calibration
ACTUATOR STEM 90_
FEEDBACK ARM

There are two auto travel calibration options available;

5

autocalibrate-standard or autocalibrate- extended.

Autocalibrate-extended is used for large actuators or

actuators with accessories.

A6536-3 / IL

Auto Calibration requires user interaction only when the Feedback Connection is SStem Pot. If the Feedback Connection is SStem Roller Pot, no user interaction is required. For valves with the SStem Pot Feedback Connection, interaction provides a more accurate crossover adjustment.

Figure 5-1. Crossover Point

1. Select the method of crossover adjustment: manual, last value, or default. Manual adjustment is recommended.
If you select Last Value, the crossover setting currently stored in the instrument is used and there are no further user interactions with the auto-calibration routine (go to step 3). If you select Default, an approximate value for the crossover is sent to the instrument and there are no further user interactions with the auto-calibration routine (go to step 3). If you select Manual, the Field Communicator prompts you to adjust the arm until the feedback arm is 90° to the actuator stem, as shown in figure 5-1. After you have made the adjustment (step 2), press OK and go to step 3.

Note
If the instrument is in the travel control state (Travel, Travel with Pressure Fallback Auto Recovery, or Travel with Pressure Fallback Manual Recovery) you will be prompted to calibrate the pressure range. If you select "yes" the valve is moved from 1% to 99%, and Pressure Range Lo (PRESS_RANGE_LO [42.8]) and Pressure Range Hi (PRESS_RANGE_HI [42.7]) are set.

2. The Field Communicator displays a menu to allow you to adjust the crossover.
Select the direction and size of change required to set the feedback arm so it is 90° to the actuator stem, as shown in figure 5-1.
If another adjustment is required, repeat step 2. Otherwise, select Done, and then Next and go to step 3.
3. The remainder of the auto-calibration procedure is automatic.

4. When the calibration procedure has finished, you will be prompted to enter the name of the person performing the calibration procedure.
5. Enter the location of the calibration procedure, if desired.
6. Enter the date of the calibration procedure, if desired.
7. Place the Transducer Block Mode in Auto and verify that the travel properly tracks the setpoint changes.

0% Travel = Valve Closed 100% Travel = Valve Open

4. From the adjustment menu, select the direction and size of change required to set the travel to 0% (move the valve to close).
If another adjustment is required, repeat step 4. Otherwise, select Done and go to step 5.
5. From the adjustment menu, select the direction and size of change required to set the travel to 100% (move the valve to open).
If another adjustment is required, repeat step 5. Otherwise, select Done and go to step 6.
6. Enter the name of the person performing the calibration procedure.
7. Enter the location of the calibration procedure.
8. Enter the date of the calibration procedure.
9. Place the Transducer Block Mode in Manual and verify that the travel properly tracks the setpoint changes.

1. From the adjustment menu, select the direction and size of change required to adjust the output until the valve is near mid-travel (50%). Selecting large, medium, and small adjustments causes changes of approximately 10.0°, 1.0°, and 0.1°, respectively, to the feedback arm rotation. Selecting Next will implement the adjustment.
If another adjustment is required, repeat step 1. Otherwise, select Done and go to step 2.
2. If the feedback connection is SStem Roller Pot, go to step 4.
If the feedback connection is SStem Pot, adjust the feedback arm to the crossover point by pressing OK to get to the adjustment menu. Continue on with step 3.
3. From the adjustment menu, select the method of crossover; manual, last value or default. Manual adjustment is recommended.
If you select Last Value, the crossover setting currently stored in the instrument is used and there are no further user interactions with the auto-calibration routine (go to step 4). If you select Default, an approximate value for the crossover is sent to the instrument and there are no further user interactions with the calibration routine (go to step 4). If you select Manual, the Field Communicator prompts you to adjust the arm until the feedback arm is 90° to the actuator stem, as shown in figure 5-1.
If another adjustment is required, repeat step 3. Otherwise, select Done and go to step 4.

Relay
(TB > Configure/Setup > Calibration > Relay)
Note
Relay B and C are not user-adjustable. For relay A it is recommended that you check the relay adjustment for double-acting installations before proceeding with travel calibration.
Double-Acting Relay
The double-acting relay is designated by "Relay A" on a label affixed to the relay itself. For double-acting actuators, the valve must be near mid-travel to properly adjust the relay. The Field Communicator will automatically position the valve when Relay Adjust is selected. Rotate the adjustment disc, shown in figure 5-2, until the output pressure displayed on the Field Communicator is between 50 and 70% of supply pressure. This adjustment is very sensitive. Be sure to allow the pressure reading to stabilize before making another adjustment (stabilization may take up to 30 seconds or more for large actuators).

The single-acting direct relay is designated by "Relay C" on a label affixed to the relay itself. Relay C requires no adjustment.
Single-Acting Reverse Relay
The single-acting reverse relay is designated by "Relay B" on a label affixed to the relay itself. Relay B

is calibrated at the factory and requires no further adjustment.
Travel Sensor
(TB > Configure/Setup > Calibration > Travel Sensor) The travel sensor is normally adjusted at the factory and should not require adjustment. However, if the travel sensor has been replaced, adjust the travel sensor by performing the appropriate procedure. See the Maintenance section for Travel Sensor Replacement procedures.
WARNING
During a travel sensor adjustment, the valve may move. To avoid personal injury and property damage caused by the release of process fluid or pressure, isolate the valve from the process and equalize pressure on both sides of the valve or bleed off the process fluid.

Note
Views Lists are used by hosts for efficient monitoring of multiple parameters. Normally you will not be aware of view list usage, as they are hidden by the host software.
Resource Block
This section contains information on the DVC6000f digital valve controller resource block. The resource block defines the physical resources of the device. The resource block also handles functionality that is common across multiple blocks. The block has no linkable inputs or outputs.

Device Diagnostics
Resource Block Error
(RB > Device Diagnostics > Resource Block Error) Block Error (BLOCK_ERR [6]) indicates an error status associated with hardware or software for the resource block. Table 6-1 lists conditions reported in the BLOCK_ERR [6] parameter. Conditions in italics are not applicable for the resource block and are provided only for your reference.
Device State
(RB > Device Diagnostics > Device State) Device State (RS_STATE [7]) indicates the state of the function blocks. Four states are possible:
d Initialization --The instrument enters this state
upon restart or failure. The function blocks are in

September 2013

6-3

DVC6000f Digital Valve Controllers

the IMan mode. During the initialization state, all unreported function block alarms are automatically confirmed and acknowledged. Once the instrument is considered operational, block execution is scheduled and the instrument state moves to Online.

d Online--The instrument will be in this state if it
is operational. The function blocks are initially in the Auto mode, but can be changed to a higher level mode.

d Standby--The instrument enters this state if the
resource block mode is Out of Service (OOS). In this state all function block modes are forced to Out of Service. The transducer block mode is not affected. When the resource block mode is changed to Auto, the instrument state moves to Online.

d Failure-- The instrument moves to this state

6

whenever a hardware or memory failure is detected which would prevent reliable operation. All function

blocks and the transducer block modes are Out of

Service.

Write Lock
(RB > Device Diagnostics > Write Lock)
D Write Alarm: Alarm State
D Write Lock
Write Lock (WRITE_LOCK [34]) determines if writes are permissible to other device parameters. The Soft Write Lock feature must be selected to be able to use Write Lock (see Selecting Features). When Write Lock is set to Locked, no writes are permitted to any parameters within the device except to set Write Lock to Not Locked. When locked, the block functions normally, updating inputs and outputs and executing algorithms. When Write Lock is set to Not Locked, the Write Alarm alert is active.

Block Alarm
(RB > Device Diagnostics > Block Alarm) The Block Alarm (BLOCK_ALM [36]) is used for all configuration, hardware, connection failure or system problems in the block.
D Block Alarm: Alarm State
Block Alarm: Alarm State (BLOCK_ALM. ALARM_STATE [36.2]) indicates the state of the Block Alarm. Five states are possible:
d Undefined d Clear reported

d Clear not reported d Active reported d Active not reported
D Block Alarm: Unacknowledged
Block Alarm: Unacknowledged (BLOCK_ALARM. UNACKNOWLEDGED [36.1])

(RB > Device Diagnostics > Maintenance)
D Restart Actions
WARNING
Restarting the instrument may cause loss of process control. To avoid personal injury and property damage caused by the release of pressure of process fluid, provide some temporary means of control for the process.
You can restart the instrument to reset parameters, links, etc. within the instrument. However, due to the effect that a restart can have on the instrument, and therefore the control loop, restarting the instrument should be used cautiously and only as a last measure. The following procedure describes how to use Restart Options to restart the instrument with a Field Communicator. You can also restart the instrument using ValveLink software or from a host system using the Restart method included with the device description (DD) software. You can restart the instrument any time it is connected to an active segment.
To restart the instrument, select Resource Block, Configure/Setup, and Restart Options on the Field Communicator.
1. Restart informs you about what can happen when an instrument restart is performed. Select Yes to continue, or No to abort without restarting.
2. Select the desired restart action or select EXIT to exit Restart. Select Help (not the Help button) to get information on restart actions.
There are two different restarts: Restart Processor, and Restart with Defaults:
When selecting either of these options, Restart informs you of the consequences of this action and

6-4

September 2013

Viewing Device Variables and Diagnostics

asks if you want to continue. Select Yes to perform the restart action, select No to select another action or exit. Restart informs you when the restart is completed. You must acknowledge the message to continue.
Restart Processor--Performing a Restart Processor has the same effect as removing power from the instrument and re-applying power. Configuration and calibration do not change. Restart with Defaults--Performing a Restart with Defaults should be done with care. This restart resets most of the static and non-volatile parameters for all of the blocks in the instrument to their initial value, as listed in table 4-2. After a Restart with Defaults, you should place the instrument in service (the transducer block mode to auto) and run Device Setup and download the instrument configuration from the control system to properly setup the instrument. You also may need to re-establish communication links and trends.
D Fault State
Fault State (FAULT_STATE [28]), when active, indicates that the resource block is currently forcing the output block to perform its FSTATE [28] action. Selecting Fault State enables the ability to manually set and clear the fault state.
D Set Fault State

Trend
(TB > Device Variables > Trend)
Trend chart of Setpoint (FINAL_VALUE.VALUE [13.2]), Travel (TRAVEL.VALUE [34.2]), and Pressure A (PRESSURE_A.VALUE [36.2]).

Device Variables
All Block Modes
(TB > Device Variables > All Block Modes) Block Mode: Target
The Target (TARGET [5.1]) mode is the mode requested by the user or host system. Generally, only one mode is allowed to be set, and it must be a permitted mode as defined by the permitted attribute of the mode parameter. Additionally, all cascade targets (Cas, Rcas) must have AUTO set.

Block Mode: Actual
This is the current mode of the block. The actual (ACTUAL [5.2]) mode may differ from the target mode due to operating conditions of the block.
Note
Block Mode:Actual drops the AUTO bit for the cascade targets. For example, target mode might have Cas and Auto set, but actual mode will only have Cas set.
Block Mode: Permitted
The permitted (PERMITTED [5.3]) mode defines the modes allowed for the block. This is set by the user or host system but is restricted by the instrument to modes supported by the instrument for the particular block. Any change request to the Target or Normal attribute is checked against the permitted attribute to ensure the requested mode is permitted. When setting the Permitted mode, there is no check against any of the other attributes (Normal or Target modes). Therefore, the normal or target mode attributes may have a value that is not permitted because the permitted attribute was modified after the Normal or Target mode was set. This will have no effect on the instrument until the user attempts to modify the Target or Normal mode. At this time these attributes are tested against the Permitted modes, thus the user cannot change the Normal or Target modes to what was formerly permitted.
Block Mode: Normal
The normal (NORMAL [5.4]) mode is the mode the block should be in during normal operating conditions. The normal mode is set by the user or host system and can only be set to a permitted mode (see permitted mode). The user or host system can compare the actual mode to the normal mode and, based on the results, determine if the block is operating normally.
AO Control - Pre-Characterization
(TB > Device Variables > AO Control - Pre-Char)
D Setpoint
Setpoint (FINAL_VALUE.VALUE [13.2]) shows the value of the setpoint in % (percent) of ranged travel or pressure. Setpoint is used for both travel and pressure control. This parameter will be written directly if the transducer block is in MAN mode, or will be written automatically by the AO block if the transducer block is in AUTO mode.

(TB > Device Variables > PD Inside Status) PD Inside Status shows the status of Performance Diagnostics.
Protection
(TB > Device Variables > Protection) Indicates the status of Protection.
Drive Signal
(TB > Device Variables > Drive Signal)
6 Drive Signal (DRIVE_SIGNAL [53]) indicates the drive
signal, as a percentage of the maximum drive available, going to the I/P converter from the printed wiring board. In most applications, the drive signal ranges between 50% and 75% of the maximum drive signal.
Temperature
(TB > Device Variables > Temperature) Temperature (TEMPERATURE [48]) displays the internal temperature of the instrument in either degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius.
Cycle Counter
(TB > Device Variables > Cycle Counter) Cycle Counter (CYCLE_COUNT [73]) records the number of times the travel changes direction. The change in direction must occur after the deadband has been exceeded before it can be counted as a cycle.
Travel Accumulator
(TB > Device Variables > Travel Accumulator) Travel Accumulator (TRAVEL_ACCUM [72]) indicates the total change in travel, in percent of ranged travel. The accumulator only increments when travel exceeds the deadband. Then the greatest amount of change in one direction from the original reference point (after the deadband has been exceeded) will be added to the Travel Accumulator.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

Maintenance
The DVC6000f digital valve controller enclosure is rated NEMA 4X and IP66, therefore periodic cleaning of internal components is not required. If the DVC6000f is installed in an area where the exterior surfaces tend to get heavily coated or layered with industrial or atmospheric contaminants, however, it is recommended that the vent (key 52) be periodically inspected to ensure it is fully open. If the vent appears to be clogged, the vent can be removed, cleaned and replaced. Lightly brush the exterior of the vent to remove contaminant and run a mild water/detergent solution through the vent to ensure it is fully open.
WARNING
Personal injury or property damage can occur from cover failure due to overpressure. Ensure that the housing vent opening is open and free of debris to prevent pressure buildup under the cover.

D Disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve.
D Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure. Relieve process pressure from both sides of the valve.
D Use lock-out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.
D Check with your process or safety engineer for any additional measures that must be taken to protect against process media.
D Vent the pneumatic actuator loading pressure and relieve any actuator spring precompression so the actuator is not applying force to the valve stem; this will allow for the safe removal of the stem connector.
7

WARNING
To avoid static discharge from the plastic cover when flammable gases or dust are present, do not rub or clean the cover with solvents. To do so could result in a spark that may cause the flammable gasses or dust to explode, resulting in personal injury or property damage. Clean with a mild detergent and water only.
WARNING
Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before performing any maintenance procedures on the DVC6000f digital valve controller:
D Always wear protective clothing, gloves, and eyewear to prevent personal injury.
D Do not removed the actuator from the valve while the valve is still pressurized.
September 2013

WARNING
When using natural gas as the supply medium, or for explosion proof applications, the following warnings also apply:
D Remove electrical power before removing the housing cap. Personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion may result if power is not disconnected before removing the cap.
D Remove electrical power before disconnecting any of the pneumatic connections.
D When disconnecting any of the pneumatic connections or any pressure retaining part, natural gas will seep from the unit and any connected equipment into the surrounding atmosphere. Personal injury or property damage may result from fire or explosion if natural gas is used as the supply medium and appropriate preventive measures are not taken. Preventive measures may include, but are not limited to, one or more of the following: Remote venting of the unit, re-evaluating the hazardous area classification, ensuring adequate
7-3

DVC6000f Digital Valve Controllers

ventilation, and the removal of any ignition sources. For information on remote venting of this controller, refer to page 2-22.
D Ensure that all caps and covers are correctly installed before putting this unit back into service. Failure to do so could result in personal injury or property damage from fire or explosion.

Module Base Maintenance
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or property damage caused by fire or explosion, remove power to the instrument before replacing the module base in an area which contains a potentially explosive atmosphere or has been classified as hazardous.

CAUTION

7

When replacing components, use only components specified by the factory.

Always use proper component

replacement techniques, as presented

in this manual. Improper techniques or

component selection may invalidate

the approvals and the product

specification, as indicated in table 1-1.

It may also impair operations and the

intended function of the device.

The digital valve controller contains a module base consisting of the I/P converter, printed wiring board assembly, and pneumatic relay. The module base may be easily replaced in the field without disconnecting field wiring or tubing.
Tools Required
Table 7-1 lists the tools required for maintaining the DVC6000f digital valve controller.
Removing the Module Base
WARNING
Refer to the Maintenance WARNING at the beginning of this section.

Note
If the feedback arm or feedback arm assembly is removed from the digital valve controller, the travel sensor must be re-calibrated.
Because of the diagnostic capability of the DVC6000f digital valve controller, predictive maintenance is available through the use of ValveLink software. Using the digital valve controller, valve and instrument maintenance can be enhanced, thus avoiding unnecessary maintenance. For information on using ValveLink software, refer to the software help.

To remove the module base for DVC6010f, DVC6020f and DVC6030f digital valve controllers, perform the following steps. Refer to figures 8-2, 8-3, and 8-4, respectively, for key number locations.

Digital Valve Controller Operation
DVC6000f digital valve controllers have a single module base that may be easily replaced in the field without disconnecting field wiring or tubing. The master module contains the following submodules: current-to-pneumatic (I/P) converter, printed wiring board assembly, and pneumatic relay. The relay position is detected by sensing the magnet on the relay beam via a detector on the printed wiring board. This sensor is used for the minor loop feedback (MLFB) reading. The master module can be rebuilt by replacing the submodules. See figures A-1 and A-2.
DVC6000f digital valve controllers are bus-powered instruments that provide a control valve position in response to a digital setpoint from the control room. The following describes a direct acting DVC6010f digital valve controller mounted on a sliding stem piston actuator, where the valve is closed with zero power to the instrument.
The setpoint is routed into the terminal box through a single pair of wires and then to the printed wiring

board assembly submodule where it is read by the microprocessor, processed by a digital algorithm, and converted into an analog I/P drive signal.
As the setpoint increases, the drive signal to the I/P converter increases, increasing the I/P output pressure. The I/P output pressure is routed to the pneumatic relay submodule. The relay is also connected to supply pressure and amplifies the small pneumatic signal from the I/P converter. The relay accepts the amplified pneumatic signal and provides two output pressures. With relay A, an increasing setpoint will produce increasing pressure at output A and decreasing pressure at output B. With relay B an increasing setpoint will produce decreasing pressure at output B (output A is not available). With relay C an increasing setpoint will produce an increasing pressure on output A (output B is not available). The output A pressure is used for double-acting and single-acting direct applications. The output B pressure is used for double-acting and single-acting reverse applications.

COVER ASSEMBLY

As shown in figure A-1, the increased output A pressure causes the actuator stem to move upward. Stem position is sensed through the feedback linkage by the travel sensor which is electrically connected to the printed wiring board assembly submodule. The stem continues to move upward until the correct stem position is attained. At this point the printed wiring board assembly stabilizes the I/P drive signal. This prevents any further increase in the pneumatic signal from the I/P converter.

As the digital setpoint decreases, the drive signal to

the I/P converter submodule decreases, decreasing the I/P output pressure. The pneumatic relay

A

decreases the output A pressure and increases the

output B pressure. The stem moves downward until

the correct position is attained. At this point the printed

wiring board assembly stabilizes the I/P drive signal.

This prevents any decrease in the pneumatic signal

from the I/P converter.

possibility of alert messages getting lost.

PlantWeb Alerts
Some instrument alert conditions can also be used to trigger PlantWeb alerts that will be reported in Failed, Maintenance or Advisory categories, as configured by the user. PlantWeb alerts, when enabled, can participate in the DeltaV alarm interface tools such as the alarm banner, alarm list and alarm summary. For specific information on setting up PlantWeb Alerts in a DeltaV system, refer to the PlantWeb Alerts section in Appendix F.

Mode-Based PlantWeb Alerts
Some PlantWeb alerts are not active unless the transducer block (actual) mode is Auto.
1. Alerts which can be triggered by the activities of the service technician are reported only when the transducer block mode is AUTO.
2. Alerts which are unrelated to service technician activities are reported in all transducer block modes.
Exceptions are as follows:
D Alerts can be simulated regardless of transducer block mode but must be enabled to be reported.

C-2

September 2013

Using PlantWeb Alerts

D When a shutdown condition exists (either currently active or latched on through the shutdown recovery parameter) in the transducer block, alerts are reported even though the mode of the transducer block is OOS.
Refer to table C-1 for reporting of PlantWeb Alerts.
Alert Handling
Alert handling is diagrammed in figure C-1. There are two ways of seeing PlantWeb alerts. One way is to see if the instrument alert condition causing a PlantWeb alert is detected. The second is to view alerts reported to the system operator console. For a PlantWeb alert to be active, it has to pass four tests. The first is to check if the Instrument alert condition is enabled. If a condition is not enabled, the instrument does not check for the alert condition. Second, the condition that will cause an alert must exist. For example, the current travel is above the Travel Limit Hi Alert Point. Third, the corresponding PlantWeb alert must be enabled in one or more of the three categories: Failed, Maintenance or Advise. Fourth, the transducer block mode must be correct. See table C-1
Note
Additional details on setting up and using Instrument Alerts can be found on page 4-26 of this manual.
Alert Reporting
For PlantWeb alerts to be reported to the operator console, they must pass four tests:
d Alerts must be active d Reports must be selected in Feature Select d Alert priority must be greater than 1 d Reporting must not be suppressed for those
conditions that caused active alerts.

Feature Select in the Resource block determines if reporting by the instrument is supported. Refer to page 4-5 for additional information on Feature Select.

Failed Priority (FAILED_PRI [68]), Maintenance Priority (MAINT_PRI [69]), and Advise Priority (ADVISE_PRI [70]) determine the PlantWeb alert priorities. Although 16 priorities are available only three are actually meaningful for PlantWeb alerts. If the priority is 0, no reporting occurs. If the priority is 1, reporting is simulated within the instrument, but the alert is not actually reported over the bus. The alert condition is reported for priorities 2 through 15, with the higher priorities taking precedence over the lower priorities.

Failed Suppress (FAILED_MASK [65]), Maintenance
C Suppress (MAINT_MASK [66]), and Advise Suppress
(ADVISE_MASK [67]) determine which of the alert conditions are suppressed so that they are not reported.

PlantWeb Alerts Set Block Status
If a PlantWeb Alert is active, the AO or DO Block Readback parameter status may change. This behavior is controlled with the PlantWeb Alerts Set PV Status (PWA_SET_STATUS [97]) parameter in the transducer block

Setting PlantWeb Alerts
Refer to table C-2 for information on setting PlantWeb alerts. When selected, PlantWeb alarms will set the PV status according to table C-4.

Using PlantWeb Alerts
Refer to table C-3 for information on using PlantWeb alerts.

DVC6000f Digital Valve Controllers

FOUNDATION Fieldbus Communication
DVC6000f digital valve controllers use the FOUNDATION fieldbus to communicate with other fieldbus instruments and the control system. Fieldbus is an all digital, serial, two-way communication system which interconnects "field" equipment such as transmitters, digital valve controllers, and process controllers. Fieldbus is a local-area network (LAN) for instruments used in both process and manufacturing automation with built-in capability to distribute the control application across the network.

Fieldbus Foundation has also defined a standard set of function block classes, such as input, output, control, and calculation blocks. Each of these classes have a set of parameters established for it. Additionally, they have published definitions for transducer blocks commonly used with standard function blocks. Examples include temperature, pressure, level, and flow transducer blocks.
Fieldbus Foundation specifications and definitions allow vendors to add their own, extended parameters, as well as their own algorithms. This approach permits extending function block definitions as new requirements are discovered and as technology advances.

Each block has a tag name. Service personnel need

Function Block Overview

only know the tag name of the block to access or change the appropriate block parameters.

A fieldbus system is a distributed system composed of field devices and control and monitoring equipment integrated into the physical environment of a plant or factory. Fieldbus devices work together to provide I/O and control for automated processes and operations. The Fieldbus Foundation provides a framework for describing these systems as a collection of physical devices interconnected by a fieldbus network. One of the ways that the physical devices are used is to perform their portion of the total system operation by implementing one or more function blocks.

Input events may affect the operation of the algorithm. An execution control function regulates the receipt of input events and the generation of output events during execution of the algorithm. Upon completion of the algorithm, the data internal to the block is saved for use in the next execution, and the output data is snapped, releasing it for use by other function blocks.
Once the inputs are snapped, the algorithm operates on them, generating outputs as it progresses. Algorithm executions are controlled through the setting of internal parameters. Internal parameters do not

appear as normal input and output parameters.

Function Blocks

However, they may be accessed and modified remotely, as specified by the function block.

D

Function blocks within the fieldbus device perform the various functions required for process control. Because each system is different, the mix and configuration of functions are different. Therefore, the Fieldbus Foundation has designed a range of function blocks, each addressing a different need: Analog Input Block (AI), Multiple Analog Input (MAI), Discrete Input Block (DI), Manual Loader Block (ML), Bias/Gain Station Block (BG), Control Selector Block (CS), P,

Figure D-1 illustrates the internal structure of a function block. When execution begins, input parameter values from other blocks are snapped-in by the block. The input snap process ensures that these values do not change during the block execution. New values received for these parameters do not affect the snapped values and will not be used by the function block during the current execution.

Function blocks are also capable of performing

their behavior.

Function blocks perform process control functions, such as analog input (AI) and analog output (AO) functions as well as proportional-integral-derivative (PID) functions. The standard function blocks provide a common structure for defining function block inputs, outputs, control parameters, events, alarms, and modes, and combining them into a process that can be implemented within a single device or over the fieldbus network. This simplifies the identification of characteristics that are common to function blocks.
The Fieldbus Foundation has established the function blocks by defining a set of parameters used in all function blocks called universal parameters. The

Instrument-Specific Blocks
In addition to function blocks, fieldbus devices contain two other block types to support the function blocks. These are the resource block and the transducer block. The resource block contains the hardware specific characteristics associated with a device. Transducer blocks couple the function blocks to local input/output functions.
Resource Blocks
The resource block contains hardware specific characteristics associated with the device; it has no

input or output parameters. The algorithm within a resource block monitors and controls the general operation of the physical device hardware. The execution of this algorithm is dependent on the characteristics of the physical device, as defined by the manufacturer. As a result of this activity, the algorithm may cause the generation of events. There is only one resource block defined for a device. For example, placing the resource block in Out of Service mode stops all function block execution, by setting their modes to Out of Service as well. The actual mode of the function blocks is changed to Out of Service, but the function block target modes will not change. Placing the resource block in the Out of Service mode does not affect the mode of the transducer block.
Transducer Blocks
Transducer blocks connect function blocks to local input/output functions. They read sensor hardware and write to effector (actuator) hardware. This permits the transducer block to execute as frequently as necessary to obtain good data from sensors and ensure proper writes to the actuator without burdening the function blocks that use the data. The transducer block also isolates the function block from the specific characteristics of the physical I/O.

Block Modes
All blocks have modes. The mode determines the source of the set point, the destination of the output, how the block executes, and the relationship between setpoint and output. The block mode is determined by the Block Mode parameter. It is a structured parameter composed of the attributes actual, target, permitted, and normal. The following defines each of the attributes.
D Target mode--The Target mode is the mode requested by the user or host system. Only one mode is allowed to be set and it must be a permitted mode as defined by the permitted attribute of the mode parameter.

D Actual mode--This is the current mode of the

block. The actual mode may differ from the target mode due to operating conditions of the block.

D

D Permitted mode--The permitted mode defines the modes allowed for the block. This is set by the user or host system but is restricted by the instrument to modes supported by the instrument for the particular block. Any change request to the Target or Normal attribute is checked against the permitted attribute to ensure the requested mode is permitted.
When setting the Permitted mode, there is no check against any of the other attributes (Normal or Target modes). Therefore, the normal or target mode

attributes may have a value that is not permitted because the permitted attribute was modified after the Normal or Target mode was set. This will have no effect on the instrument until the user attempts to

modify the Target or Normal mode. At this time these attributes are tested against the Permitted modes, thus the user cannot change the Normal or Target modes to what was formerly permitted.
D Normal mode--The normal mode is the mode the block should be in during normal operating conditions. The normal mode is set by the user or host system and can only be set to a permitted mode (see permitted mode). The user or host system can compare the actual mode to the normal mode and, based on the results, determine if the block is operating normally.
Table D-1 lists the modes supported by each block contained in the digital valve controller.

Note
There in no mode associated with the FOUNDATION fieldbus Loop. Mode is dependent on the blocks within the Loop.
Explanation of Modes
Out of Service (OOS)--The functions performed by the block are not executed. If the block has any outputs, these typically do not update and the status of any values passed to downstream blocks will be "BAD". To make changes to some of the parameters in a block requires that the block be Out of Service.

D Changing the block mode requires accessing the Block Mode parameter. For information on using the host system to change the block mode via this parameter, see the appropriate host documentation.

Initialization Manual (IMan)--Only the AO, DO, OS and PID blocks support this mode. When one of these blocks detects a loss of a correct path to the downstream block (such as when the downstream block is in the OOS, Man, or LO mode), it enters the IMan mode. For example, when the transducer block enters the OOS mode, the AO block enters the IMan mode.

Note
A downstream block changing to Out of Service impacts the mode of the upstream block. Refer to the block hierarchy in figure D-2.

Local Override (LO)--Only the AO, DO, and PID blocks support this mode. If the PID block enters the LO mode, the block output follows the tracking value (TRK_VAL), if external tracking is enabled by TRK_IN_D. In the AO and DO block, the block enters LO mode when the block detects that fault state is active. In this case, the output is determined by the selection for I/O_OPTS.
Manual (Man)--If the data status of a function block's input is bad or its target mode is Man, the block enters

D-4

September 2013

FOUNDATION Fieldbus Communication

the manual mode. In this mode, the function block does not update its OUT value. If the target is Man, the user may write a desired value to the output.
Automatic (Auto)--The block performs the specified calculations based on the local set point and outputs the result, independently without interfacing with another block. The user can write to the set point of a block in this mode. Any block outputs continue to update.
Cascade (Cas)--The block performs the specified calculations based on the set point from another block via the cascade input parameter and outputs the result. Any block outputs continue to update.
Remote Output (ROut)--The block outputs are set to the value of the remote output parameter that is written by a host computer or others. To prevent a sudden change in output, the block's calculations are initialized when a change in mode occurs.
Remote Cascade (RCas)--The block performs the specified calculations based on a set point from a host computer or others via the remote cascade input and outputs the result. If the block has any outputs, these continue to update.
Examples of Modes for Various Operational Statuses
Table D-2 shows examples of block mode combinations in a digital valve controller (however it does not show all combinations). When a block changes mode or the data status signal changes for some reason, the other blocks connected to that block identify the change by detecting the change in status of an input signal, and change their modes too. For example, when the data status of BKCAL_IN in a PID block changes to bad, the PID block automatically changes its mode to Iman to initialize the control of its downstream block.
The respective modes to which each block should enter upon occurrence of a communication error and at a restart, and the handling of signals in each mode may be defined in the block's option parameters such as IO_OPTS and STATUS_OPTS. For details, see the detailed descriptions of each function block.

Device Descriptions
Device Descriptions are specified definitions that are associated with blocks. Device descriptions provide for the definition and description of blocks and their parameters.
Device descriptions may also include a set of processing routines called Methods. Methods provide a procedure for accessing and manipulating a series of parameters within a device, such as for setup and calibration. Methods are used for a variety of functions including automatic calibration, setting protection and setting up the instrument. These Methods are a predetermined sequence of steps for information required to setup, calibrate, and perform other functions on the instrument.

Transducer Block Status and Limit
Propagation
Every FOUNDATION fieldbus parameter has a value and a status. The status attribute is divided into three components: Quality, Quality substatus, and a Limit. The Quality can be Good (Cascade), Good
D (Non-Cascade), Uncertain, and Bad. Each quality can
have a substatus as shown in table D-3. Each status attribute also has four possible limit states: Not limited, Low limited, High limited, and Constant. Refer to the Fieldbus Foundation specifications for a more detailed description. The following describes how the transducer block passes status information to the AO block. For information on status handling by the function blocks within the digital valve controller, refer to the Detailed Setup section.

Status Propagation
The transducer block accepts the output from the AO block or DO block if the output parameter status is Good (Non-cascade) or Good (Cascade). When the

AO or DO block is Out of Service the output parameter status is Bad. In this case, the transducer block holds the last value.
If the transducer block actual mode is Out of Service, the AO block READBACK parameter status is Bad-Out of Service. This could be caused by a Failed Alert. If a Failed Alert is active, the block error parameter (parameter name BLOCK_ERR) for the Resource block will indicate Device Needs Maintenance Now. For more information on the Resource and Transducer block error indications, refer to the Viewing Device Information section of this manual.
If the transducer block is functioning correctly the AO block READBACK parameter status is Good (Non-cascade)-Non-specific. If a Maintenance or Advisory alert is active the substatus will reflect a Unacknowledged or Active advisory alert. When a Maintenance or Advisory alert is active, the block error for the resource block indicates Device Needs Maintenance Soon.
Limit Propagation
The following describes limit propagation:
AO Block
D If the valve position is below the low cutoff value, the AO block READBACK status limit is LOW_LIMITED.
D If the valve position is above the high cutoff value, the AO block READBACK status limit is HIGH_LIMITED.
D If the transducer block actual mode is Auto and the above conditions are not true, the AO block READBACK status limit is NOT_LIMITED.
D If the transducer block actual mode is Out of Service, the AO block READBACK status limit is CONSTANT.

The control strategy should be configured to monitor the Analog Output block status and take action where appropriate when the status is no longer Good.
Network Communication
Figure D-3 illustrates a simple fieldbus network consisting of a single segment.
Device Addressing
Fieldbus uses addresses between 0 and 255. Addresses 0 through 15 are typically reserved for group addressing and for use by the data link layer. If there are two or more devices with the same address, the first device to start will use its programmed address. Each of the other devices will be given one of four temporary addresses between 248 and 251. If a temporary address is not available, the device will be unavailable until a temporary address becomes available. Commission devices use addresses 20-35, and standby devices use addresses 232-247.

Link Active Scheduler (LAS)
There is only one active Link Active Scheduler (LAS) for the entire fieldbus control system. The digital valve controller includes an LAS. The Link Active Scheduler operates as the bus arbiter for the link, and
D recognizes and adds new devices to the link.

D removes non-responsive devices from the link.

D distributes Data Link (DL) and Link Scheduling

(LS) time on the link. Data Link Time is a network-wide

time periodically distributed by the LAS to synchronize

all device clocks on the bus. Link Scheduling time is a

link-specific time represented as an offset from Data

Link Time. It is used to indicate when the LAS on each

link begins and repeats its schedule. It is used by

system management to synchronize function block

execution with the data transfers scheduled by the

D

LAS.

D polls devices for process loop data at scheduled transmission times.

D distributes a priority-driven token to devices between scheduled transmissions.
The DVC6000f can be designated to act as the backup Link Active Scheduler (LAS) in the event that the LAS is disconnected from the segment. As the backup LAS, the DVC6000f will take over the management of communications until the host is restored. The host system may provide a configuration tool specifically designed to designate a particular device as a backup LAS. Otherwise, this can be configured manually as follows:

To support synchronization of schedules, periodically
D Link Scheduling (LS) time is distributed. The beginning
of the macrocycle represents a common starting time for all Function Block schedules on a link and for the LAS link-wide schedule. This permits function block executions and their corresponding data transfers to be synchronized in time.

Function Block Scheduling
Figure D-6 shows an example of a link schedule. A single iteration of the link-wide schedule is called the macrocycle. When the system is configured and the function blocks are linked, a master link-wide schedule is created for the LAS. Each device maintains its portion of the link-wide schedule, known as the Function Block Schedule. The Function Block Schedule indicates when the function blocks for the device are to be executed.

DVC6000f Digital Valve Controllers

Overview
Several support files are required for the DVC6000f digital valve controller. They are:
D Device Description (DD) files--These files define the data interface to the digital valve controller (file extensions .sym and .ffo).

D Capabilities File--These files allow a host to configure the control system off-line (e.g., without having a device physically attached to the host) (file extension .cff).

D DeltaV Registry File--This file is used by DeltaV to define the device interface (file extension .reg)

D DeltaV fhx File--This file is used by DeltaV to define the device and the data interface to the device (file extension .fhx).

D DeltaV Windows Resource File--These files define the user interface for the device for DeltaV and include the definitions for the transducer block interface and the resource block interface (file extension .dll).

The directory structure defined by the Fieldbus Foundation for device descriptions is as follows:

....\xxxxxx\yyyy\rrddcc.eee

where:

....\ is the path to the DD structure as

implemented by the host system. This is

typically defined as the base path to the DD

since access to the specific device DD is

predefined from the base folder. For a DeltaV

system, the DDs are included with the support

files and are located in a folder named

"amsdevices." For other hosts, the Fieldbus

E

Foundation defines a folder named "release" that is included with the CD-ROM, however,

you do not need to retain this folder name.

xxxxxx is the 6-digit hexadecimal equivalent of the manufacturer's identification number as defined by the Fieldbus Foundation. Fisher Controls' ID number is 5100 (or in the folder format 005100). This number is also stored in the instrument Resource Block in the parameter Mfg ID (parameter name MANUFAC_ID).

yyyy

is the 4-digit hexadecimal equivalent of the device type, as defined by the manufacturer. For example, the device type for the DVC6000f digital valve controller is 4602. This

number is stored in the instrument Resource Block in the parameter Device Type (parameter name DEV_TYPE).

rr

is the 2-digit hexadecimal equivalent of the

device revision, as defined by the

manufacturer. It is stored in the instrument

Resource Block in the parameter Device

Revision (parameter name DEV_REV).

dd is the 2-digit hexadecimal equivalent of the device description (DD) revision that applies to the device, as defined by the manufacturer. The host will always use the latest version of the DD that it finds for a particular device revision. When part of the name of a capabilities file, this value is always the same as the value of the DD_REV parameter stored in the Resource Block of the instrument. The value of the DD_REV parameter represents the earliest version of the DD that is compatible with the device revision of the instrument.

cc is a 2-digit hexadecimal equivalent for the capabilities files (.cff) revision, as defined by the manufacturer. The latest revision of the capabilities files, for a particular device revision, is the file with the largest value for this number.

eee is the file extension. At this time, five extensions exist for files, they are:

D .sym--This extension denotes a device description (DD) symbol file as defined by the Fieldbus Foundation.

D .ffo--This extension denotes a complete, tokenized, device description for the instrument as defined by the Fieldbus Foundation.

D .cff--This extension denotes a capabilities file for the instrument as defined by the FOUNDATION Fieldbus Common File Format specification.

D .fhx--This extension denotes a DeltaV device definition file.

D .dll--This extension denotes a windows resource file used by DeltaV.

D .reg--This extension denotes a DeltaV registry file.

D .alm--This extension denotes a DeltaV alarm file (DeltaV version 6 only).

Device Description and Methods

FOUNDATION fieldbus technology uses Device Descriptions (DD) and function blocks to achieve interoperability between instruments and control systems or hosts from various manufacturers. The DD provides information to describe the data interface to the device.

The following table describes the compatibility between the DVC6000f firmware revisions and DD revisions.

2 and 3

For fieldbus devices, in addition to providing parameter definitions and other information required by the control system to communicate with the fieldbus device, the DD may also include methods. Methods can be used for a variety of functions including automatic calibration, setting protection, setting up the instrument, etc. These methods are a predetermined sequence of steps for information required to setup, calibrate, and perform other functions on the instrument. How the method prompts the user, and how messages appear is determined by the host system. For information on using methods on the host system see the appropriate host system documentation.

4. Define the control strategy
5. Associate I/O to the digital valve controller.
6. The device is now ready to be downloaded.

PlantWeb Alerts
Fieldbus devices detect and report their device alarms to a DeltaV system (or other host system). This includes detecting whether an alert condition is active, reporting the alarm to DeltaV and later clearing the alarm when the condition is no longer active. Whether a particular alert condition can be suppressed, disabled or configured off-line are all determined by the device.
For Fieldbus, the DeltaV system is responsible for knowing which devices have alarms, ensuring that alarms are properly represented (such as after controller switchovers) and reporting to operators, Event Chronicle, AMS, OPC Alarms and Events server, etc. So the only alarms DeltaV shows for a Fieldbus device are those the device has defined as alarms and has reported to DeltaV.
All device alarms are configured and processed in the DeltaV system identically to process alarms. This means that how the alarms are communicated within the system, what workstations are notified, alarm annunciation, graphical representations, event recording, acknowledgement, etc. are identical for process and device alarms. This ensures that device alarms and process alarms are available to all users and applications in a consistent fashion.
Setting up PlantWeb Alerts
This section walks you through the steps and considerations to implement PlantWeb alerts.
DeltaV Hardware and Software Requirements
The first step to implement PlantWeb alerts is to have the correct hardware and software:

Figure F-5. Alarms & Display Tab

D DeltaV v6.3 or later

D DeltaV Operate

D MD Controllers

D Fieldbus devices - While device alerts are supported on all fieldbus devices, devices that offer PlantWeb alerts provide significantly more useful information.

D Series 2 H1 cards

Initial Device Setup

F

When new FF devices are commissioned on the DeltaV system, device alarms are automatically enabled and default priorities are assigned to the alarms. Select properties on the device, then the Alarms and Displays tab, as shown in figure F-5 to view whether device alarms are enabled on a particular device.

The Enable Device Alarms configuration option modifies the device configuration. Thus changing this setting requires a download to the device. Devices that

are migrated from older DeltaV systems will have their device alarms disabled.

module is reporting information, all device information that may also be relevant is also reported.

Note
1. Use the default setting of device alarms enabled. If the user does not want notification of device alarms, this can be configured on each individual alarm. Later on, you can modify the alarm configurations without downloading the device. Disabling device alarms disables all of the alarms, including the device communication failure alarm.
2. Use the same control display for the device as for the control module.
3. If you suspect a rogue device is generating extra H1 bus traffic from device alarms, disabling device alarms stops the device from sending the alarms.
4. If the Alarms and Displays tab is not shown, then you either do not have an MD controller or the device is on a Series 1 H1 card.

Figure F-6. Controller Properties

Area Assignment
Controllers use this area assignment to report node status (e.g. not communicating). Devices and control modules use this area assignment to determine where to send their alarms.
Area A is the default area assignment for all controllers and workstations (see figures F-6 and F-7). Also, by default Area A is assigned to all workstations Alarms and Events subsystem. This means that all controller status problems are sent to all workstations
F by default. A fieldbus device will change its area association once the device is configured to a control module. In addition, the device is assigned to the same place in the logical hierarchy as this control module. So if the control module is under a unit, the device is also considered under this same unit.
The device is automatically associated with the same area as the control module that uses the lowest index number function block in the device. This block is usually the primary input or output function block of the device. This ensures that wherever the control

THE CONTROLLER IS ASSIGNED TO AREA A. A DEVICE THAT IS NOT YET ASSOCIATED WITH A CONTROL MODULE WILL DEFAULT TO THE SAME AREA AS THE CONTROLLER.
Figure F-7. Device Properties
September 2013

Operating with a DeltaV System

Note
1. For devices with multiple inputs or outputs (such as the 848), you need to decide which area is best for device alarm reporting and be sure to assign the correct control module to the lowest index number function block. If there is no module assigned to this function block, then the device will always be assigned to the same area as the controller.

With controller area default of AREA A, and the default of AREA A being assigned to all workstations, you need to evaluate the alarm settings when commissioning a new fieldbus device with device alarms enabled. If the device detects a FAILED or COM FAIL alarm prior to being assigned to a control module, this device alarm will be reported and annunciated to all workstations. This is because all workstations have Area A assigned. Consider lowering the priority of these alarms to ADVISORY until the end of the commissioning process.
Reporting Alarms and Events to a Workstation
Device alarm and event reporting is no different than control module reporting. Alarm and event reporting to workstations is determined by assigning areas to workstations. The workstation area assignment is all you need to do to ensure that you have all of the information (device and process) for that area.
This is important so that ALL of the information about an area - both the process and device information - is available at any workstation that is responsible for that area. That way the Event Chronicle has a complete record for that area, and any user can drill into a graphic or tag and access all of the information.
This DOES NOT determine WHO views the device alarms. Who views the alarms is determined by filtering at each workstation.
Now that all of the device (and process) information is assigned to a workstation, the next step is to decide what priority of device and process alarms cause alarm annunciation to the users on that workstation.

Setting up WHO Sees Device Alarms
The priority of the alarms, and the settings at that workstation determine what alarms are annunciated on a particular workstation. Annunciated means sound the horn and shown in the alarm banner, Alarm List display, etc.
There are two different approaches that can be used to adjust the device alarm filtering for a particular workstation:
D Adjust the default DeltaV Operate alarm settings in the UserRef/UserSettings file
D Adjust the individual device alarm priorities
By default, DeltaV Operator Stations have all process alarms are annunciated, and show up on the Alarm Banner, Alarm List, graphical displays, etc. on all operator workstations. Also by default, the device alarms with priority settings below WARNING (8) are NOT annunciated or shown in the alarm banner. The low priority device alarms can be shown in graphics and on summaries defined to not be limited by the alarm settings.
The DeltaV Maintenance Station uses the same DeltaV Operate alarm setting for device alarm annunciation. This license only shows device alarms on Maintenance Station graphics. NO process alarms are shown in the alarm banner or ANY alarm summary.
Thus, device alarms and process alarms can be either combined and/or separated for specific user installations, based on their operating philosophy.
Setting DeltaV Operate Device Alarm Annunciation Defaults
DeltaV Operate has default settings in the UserRef.grf file for what priority of device alarms will annunciate
F and show in the alarm banner. The default DeltaV
Operate alarm settings annunciate device alarms that are of the priority WARNING (8) or higher. Device alarms below this priority will not sound the horn or show up in the alarm banner.
Operator Station displays can be configured to show any alarms reporting to that workstation. Along with typical display configuration, alarm summaries can be configured to display alarms that match the alarm banner settings, or user specified ranges. The standard AlarmSum display is configured to show all alarms reporting to that workstation (see figure F-8).

critical to operation, other DVC6000's may not. In this example, the DVC6000's would have different default alarm priorities.

THE PRIORITY OF A DEVICE ALARM DEFINES WHETHER THE ALARM IS ANNUNCIATED ON A PARTICULAR WORKSTATION, IN ADDITION TO THE COLOR OF THE ALARM AND THE HORN SOUND.
Figure F-9. Default PlantWeb Alert Priorities
Deciding Device Alarm Priorities
Each device alarm, just like every process alarm, has a priority assigned to it. When a device is created, the device alarms are assigned default alarm priorities as shown in figure F-9.
The DeltaV workstation default is to annunciate device alarms above the ADVISORY (7) priority.
Therefore, by default both the FAILED and COMM PlantWeb alerts annunciate to the operator.
The priority of each alarm needs to be considered. The priority of a device alarm is determined by how important that device problem is and the consequences to the process.
The priority is not based solely on the type of device. This means that while some DVC6000's may be

Note
1. If your installation has the Fieldbus devices, but is not ready to use PlantWeb alerts, then you can disable the individual alarms at the device - or through the System Alarm Management application. Later on, individual alarms can be enabled without having to download the device.
2. When you first begin to use device alarms, be sure that your alarm priority settings for the workstations or the individual device alarm priorities are such that they don't cause undue operator burden. This could mean only having a few device alarms set at WARNING or above, or changing the DeltaV Operate default such that only CRITICAL device alarms (or even perhaps NO device alarms annunciate to the operator).
3. DO NOT enable ALL of the PlantWeb alerts in a device. Only enable the alerts that are needed.
