Emerson Fisher™ FIELDVUE™ DPC2K Digital Process Controller Features

Safety and Reliability

• Tested in Use—The low-bleed pneumatic design has been field

proven to provide reliable control in harsh environments.

Non-contact readback of the valve position ensures proper

operation of the PID control algorithm.

• At a Glance Displays—User-friendly displays in the software

and at the local user interface provide easy access to the

information needed to keep the process running smoothly.

Efficient Operation

• Fast Commissioning—When compared to a programmed solution,

a configured instrument such as the DPC2K reduces the time and labor

needed to bring the process loop into operation.

• Networkability—Ethernet communications allows for quick integrate

into SCADA or control systems.

Remote monitoring is supported via Modbus TCP or Modbus RTU serial data paths.

• Local Access—The six button interface supports local operation

even in harsh environments.

Process Data

Stranded process data becomes a thing of the past when using

the DPC2K as an upgrade for standalone pneumatic controllers.

Data can be used for near real time data driven decisions which

can save money by averting downtime and improving the

performance of process systems.

Networked communication and simplified monitoring allow your

support infrastructure to troubleshoot process issues and prepare mitigation,

therefore minimizing the downtime needed to diagnose a potential problem.

With multiple simultaneous sessions supported, the right resources

can collaborate to optimize performance of the process loop and take the

guesswork out of tuning and operation. This also enhances employee safety by eliminating

unnecessary travel, reducing on-site risk, and minimizing process disruptions.

Designed to be integrated within your company’s network security,

the DPC2K has flexible methods to secure communications by protocol andport.

A physical switch can also be used to lock configurations and

prevent unwarranted changes.

The firmware utilizes priority for the control algorithm to ensure operation

in case of cyber attacks against the network infrastructure.
