DVC6200f Digital Valve
Controller
The FIELDVUE DVC6200f digital valve controller is a
F
OUNDATIONt fieldbus communicating instrument that
converts a digital control signal into a pneumatic output
to an actuator. It can easily be retrofitted in place of
existing analog positioners on most Fisher and non‐Fisher
pneumatic actuators.
Features
Reliability
n Linkage‐Less Non‐Contact Position Feedback— The
high performance, linkage‐less feedback system
eliminates physical contact between the valve stem
and the DVC6200f. There are no wearing parts so
cycle life is maximized.
n Built to Survive—The field proven DVC6200f
instrument has fully encapsulated electronics that
resist the effects of vibration, temperature, and
corrosive atmospheres. A weather‐tight wiring
terminal box isolates field wiring connections from
other areas of the instrument.
Performance
n Accurate and Responsive— The two‐stage positioner
design provides quick response to large step changes
and precise control for small setpoint changes.
n Travel Control/Pressure Fallback— Valve position
feedback is critical to the operation of a digital valve
controller. The DVC6200f can detect position
feedback problems and automatically revert to I/P
transducer mode to keep the valve operational.
Ease of Use
n Enhanced Safety— The DVC6200f is a FOUNDATION
fieldbus communicating device, so information can be
accessed anywhere along the loop. This flexibility can
reduce exposure to hazardous environments and
make it easier to evaluate valves in hard to reach
locations.

n Faster Commissioning— FOUNDATION fieldbus
communications allows you to quickly commission
loops with a variety of tools, either locally at the valve
assembly or remotely.
n Easy Maintenance— The DVC6200f digital valve
controller is modular in design. Critical working
components can be replaced without removing field
wiring or pneumatic tubing.
Value
n Hardware Savings— When installed in an integrated
control system, significant hardware and installation
cost savings can be achieved. Valve accessories such
as limit switches and position transmitters can be
eliminated because this information is available as
function blocks.
n Increased Uptime— The self-diagnostic capability of
the DVC6200f digital valve controller provides valve
performance and health evaluation without shutting
down the process or pulling the valve assembly from
the line.
n Improved Maintenance Decisions— Digital
communication provides easy access to the condition
of the valve. Sound process and asset management
decisions can be made by analysis of valve information
through Fisher ValveLinkt software.
