Instrument Description
The DVC2000 digital valve controller is a communicating, microprocessor-based
current-to-pneumatic valve positioner. It is designed to replace standard pneumatic and
electro-pneumatic valve positioners.
In addition to the traditional function of converting an input current signal (4 to 20 mA) to a
pneumatic output pressure, the DVC2000 digital valve controller communicates via a local
display panel and/or via the HART® protocol. An option is available which provides isolated
circuitry for two (2) integrated limit switches (for open/close valve indication) and a valve
position transmitter (for separate valve position feedback).
Terminology
Instrument Level – There are four (4) levels of functionality available: AC, HC, AD and PD.
AC – This level provides the capability to setup and calibrate the positioner through the local
user interface or a handheld communicator.
HC – This level provides additional capability for advanced configuration of the positioner
(such as travel limits/cutoffs, custom characterization and minimum open/closing time).
Also, information is available through the HART protocol for diagnostic alerts such as travel
deviation, cycle count and travel accumulation.
AD – This level provides advanced diagnostic capabilities for performance testing. When used
with ValveLink software, instrument health can be evaluated with tests such as Valve Signature,
step response and dynamic error band. The software program provides detailed analysis
with graphics.
PD – This level provides automated, non-intrusive testing of the operating performance of
the control valve assembly. When used with ValveLink software, tests to isolate component
degradation can be run on the valve assembly without affecting the process.
Local Interface – The DVC2000 comes standard with a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and four (4)
pushbuttons. The local interface provides the capability to setup and calibrate the positioner
and view basic diagnostic messages.
Magnet Assembly – This is the feedback component that is mounted directly to the valve stem.
It supplies a magnetic field that is sensed by the digital valve controller.
Options Board – The DVC2000 digital valve controller is available with two (2) limit switches
and a valve position transmitter. The options board includes the additional circuitry and
terminations that are required to support these output signals.
Pole Piece – Inserted into the DVC2000 housing and protruding through the back of the
instrument is a two-pronged fork that houses the magnetic sensor for position feedback.
