Instrument Description
DVC5000f Series digital valve controllers for
FOUNDATIONt fieldbus (figures 1-1 and 1-2) are
interoperable, process controlling, communicating,
microprocessor-based digital-to-pneumatic
instruments. In addition to the primary function of
converting a digital input signal to a pneumatic output
pressure, the DVC5000f Series digital valve controller,
using FOUNDATION fieldbus communications protocol,
gives easy access to information critical to process
operation as well as process control. You can gain
information from the principal component of the
process, the control valve itself, by using a personal
computer or operator’s console within the control
room.
Using a compatible fieldbus configuration device, you W6164 / IL

can obtain information about the health of the
instrument, the actuator, and the valve. You can also
obtain asset information about the actuator or valve
manufacturer, model, and serial number. You can set
input and output configuration parameters and
calibrate the instrument.
Using the FOUNDATION fieldbus protocol, information
from the instrument can be integrated into control
systems.
Figure 1-2. Rotary Control Valve with Type
DVC5020f Digital Valve Controller
The DVC5000f Series digital valve controller is
designed to directly replace standard single-acting
valve mounted positioners. The DVC5000f Series
digital valve controllers have been designed as direct
replacements for the DVC5000 Series (HART) digital
valve controllers.

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.
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
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.
The following methods are provided with the
DVC5000f Series Device Description: Setup Wizard,
Input Characterization, Data Protection, Auto
Calibrate, Stabilize/Optimize, and Restart Instrument.
Following is a brief description of each of these
methods.
D Setup Wizard—The Setup Wizard is required to
perform the initial setup and calibration of the
instrument. This method is available via the
Transducer Block. Note: this method includes the Auto
Calibrate method discussed below. The Setup Wizard
is described in detail in Section 3.
D Data Protection—The Data Protection method
is required for changing transducer block data
protection. This method is available via the Transducer
Block. The Data Protection method is described in
detail in Section 4.
D Input Characterization—The Input
Characterization method provides a mechanism for
setting the instrument input characterization, including
the custom array. This method is not required for
setting the characterization type or the array.
However, it does provide the user a simple
mechanism for setting the parameter and the array,
including data integrity checks, data presentation, and
command/response processing. This method is
available via the Transducer Block. The Input
Characterization method is described in detail in
Section 4.
D Auto Calibrate—The Auto Calibrate method is
required to calibrate the instrument. It is provided as
October 1998
Introduction
an independent method and is also included in the
Setup Wizard. This method is available via the
Transducer Block. The Auto Calibrate method is
described in detail in Section 5. A detailed description
of the Auto Calibrate method is also included in the
Setup Wizard detailed description in Section 3.
D Stabilize/Optimize—The Stabilize/Optimize 1
method is used to adjust the instrument tuning sets to
improve performance of the final control system. It
provides an interface to the instrument that integrates
several parameters used during the stabilization
process. This method is available via the Transducer
Block. The Stabilize/Optimize method is described in
detail in Section 3.
D Restart Instrument—The Restart method is
required for restarting the instrument without removing
power. It also allows the user to set data within the
instrument to its default state. In addition to restarting
the instrument, this method also performs instrument
integrity tests to verify that it is ok to Restart the
instrument. This method is available via the Resource
Block. The Restart Instrument method is described in
detail in Section 4.
To use the DDs they must be installed on the host
system. For information on installing the DDs, see
Appendix A.

Fairchild Model 25463 Reversing Relay
Spring Adjustment
The Fairchild Model 25463 is a spring biased reversing
relay. It provides an output pressure which follows the
equation Po = K – Ps. Where Po is the output pressure,
K is the spring bias and Ps is the signal pressure. The
spring bias is adjusted during calibration as follows:
Set the Model 25463 spring adjustment with the valve
off the travel stops. Adjust the spring so that the
average of the top and bottom cylinder pressures is
50% of the minimum available supply pressure.
This is accomplished by adjusting the supply pressure
to the minimum available, then adjusting the input
current until the valve is off the stops. Next, turn the
Model 25463 adjustment screw until the digital valve
controller output gauge reads 50% of the minimum
supply pressure. Restore the supply pressure to its
October 1998
Installation
normal operating pressure prior to placing the system
in service.
The following example uses a minimum supply
pressure of 80 psig with the digital valve controller
output applied to the upper cylinder connection. With a
minimum supply pressure of 80 psig, the spring
adjustment method described establishes K at 80 psig.
An increasing DVC5000f output pressure moves the
piston down. A DVC5000f output of 50 psig would 2
yield a Model 25463 output of
Po = K – Ps
80–50 = 30 psig
A decreasing DVC5000f output moves the piston up.
A DVC5000f output of 30 psig would yield a Model
25463 output of
Po = K – Ps

WARNING
2 If a flammable, toxic, or reactive gas is
to be used as the supply pressure me-
dium, personal injury and property
damage could result from fire or ex-
plosion of accumulated gas or from
contact with toxic or reactive gas. The
digital valve controller/actuator as-
sembly does not form a gas-tight seal,
and when the assembly is in an en-
closed area, a remote vent line, ade-
quate ventilation, and necessary safe-
ty measures should be used. A re-
mote vent pipe alone cannot be relied
upon to remove all hazardous gas.
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 re-
move exhaust gases to a ventilated
area.
The relay output constantly bleeds supply air 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.

example:
Test Meter Voltage = 0.025
Test Meter Voltage X 1000 = Instrument Milliamps
0.025 X 1000 = 25.0 milliamperes
If the current is not approximately 25 milliamperes,
check the field wiring and terminal box to printed 2
wiring board connection inside the instrument. See the
“Maintenance” section, Section 8, for information on
disassembling the instrument.
5. Remove the test leads and replace the terminal
box cover.
Communication Connections
WARNING
Personal injury or property damage
caused by fire or explosion may occur
if this connection is attempted in an
area which contains a potentially ex-
plosive atmosphere or has been clas-
sified as hazardous. Confirm that area
classification and atmosphere condi-
tions permit the safe removal of the
terminal box cap before proceeding.
A FOUNDATION fieldbus communicating device, such
as a personal computer running ValveLink VL2000f
Series software, interfaces with the DVC5000f Series
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 BUS terminals or
to the LOCAL connections inside the terminal box to
provide local communications with the instrument.
Simulate Enable Jumper
Install a jumper across the SIMULATE ENABLE
terminals to enable the instrument to accept a
simulate command. With the jumper in place and the
simulate parameter in the AO block set to enabled, the
transducer block ignores the output of the AO block.
The simulate value and status become the readback
value and status to the AO block and the transducer
block is ignored. For more information on running
simulations, see the FOUNDATION fieldbus
specifications and the host system documentation.

 DVC5000f Series
General Information
Fieldbus is an all digital, serial, two-way
communication protocol that interconnects devices
such as valve controllers, transmitters, discrete
devices, and controllers. It is a local-area network
(LAN) for instruments that enables basic control and
I/O to be moved to the field devices. The DVC5000f
Series digital valve controllers use the FOUNDATION
fieldbus technology developed and supported by
Fisher-Rosemount and the other members of the
independent Fieldbus Foundation.
3 subindexes are tested against the Permitted modes,
Addressing
To be able to setup and calibrate a device and have it
communicate with other devices on the fieldbus, a
device must be assigned a permanent address.
Unless requested otherwise, when a digital valve
controller ships from the factory it is programmed with
a default permanent address. If this address is not
used by another device on the fieldbus segment, the
instrument will appear at this address in an
uninitialized state.
If there are two or more devices with the same
address, the first device to start up will use the
programmed address, for example 20. Each of the
other devices will be given one of the four available
temporary addresses. If a temporary address is not
available, the device will be unavailable until a
temporary address becomes available.
Use the host system to commission a device and
assign it a permanent address. For information on
using the host system for device commissioning and
assigning addresses, see the appropriate system
documentation.
Block Mode
Setting up and calibrating a digital valve controller
requires modifying parameters in the transducer block.
All blocks have a mode parameter, which determines
the source of the set point, the destination of the
output, and how the block executes. The ability to
modify a block parameter is determined by the mode.
The mode required to change the parameter is listed
in the description for each parameter.
The block mode is determined by the Block Mode
parameter (parameter name MODE_BLK). It is a
structured parameter composed of the subindexes
actual, target, permitted, and normal. The following
defines each of the subindexes.
D Permitted mode—(subindex 3) The permitted
mode defines the modes allowed for the block. This
again is set by the user or host system but is restricted
by the instrument to modes supported by the
3-2
instrument for the particular block. Any change
request to the Target or Normal subindex is checked
against the permitted subindex to ensure the
requested mode is permitted.
However, when setting the Permitted mode, there is
no check against any of the other subindexes (Normal
or Target modes). Therefore, the instrument may be in
a Normal or Target mode that is not permitted
because the permitted subindex 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
thus the user cannot change the Normal or Target
modes to what was formerly permitted.
D Normal mode—(subindex 4) 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.
D Target mode—(subindex 1) 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 subindex
of the mode parameter.
D Actual mode—(subindex 2) This is the current
mode of the block. The actual mode may differ from
the target modes due to operating conditions of the
block. The actual mode is calculated as part of block
execution.
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 system
documentation.
Initial Setup
CAUTION
Changes to the instrument setup may
cause the valve to move.
Before beginning initial setup, be sure the instrument
is correctly mounted as described in the “Installation”
section, Section 2, and that the travel sensor is
adjusted correctly. Refer to the Travel Sensor Adjust
procedures in the “Calibration” section, Section 5.

 Initial Setup and Calibration
Setup Wizard
The Setup Wizard modifies transducer block
parameters to setup the instrument. The Setup Wizard
(method name SETUP_WIZARD) is included with the
device description (DD) software. For information on
using methods, see the host system documentation.
Note
The AO block mode must be Out of
Service to be able to run the Setup
Wizard.
CAUTION
Changes to the instrument setup may
cause changes in the output pressure
or valve travel.
Table 3-1 provides the actuator information required to
setup and calibrate the instrument. For more detailed
information on the parameters modified by the Setup
Wizard, see the subsection “Parameters Modified By
the Setup Wizard” in this section.
1. Start the Setup Wizard. Once the Setup wizard has
initialized its exception handling, it prompts you to
verify that the AO block is in the correct mode. Due to
current limitations of the DD, the Setup Wizard can not
read the mode of the AO Block. The prompt is:
Due to DD limitations, this method can
not verify that the AO block is in the
mode required for correct operation of
this wizard. If you are not sure of the
mode for the AO block, please abort the
wizard at this time (option 2 below),
place the AO Block in Out-of-Service, and
restart this wizard.
If the AO block is Out-Of-Service, Select

 Initial Setup and Calibration
WARNING
During calibration the valve will move
full stroke. 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.
15. At this point, instrument setup is complete. All that
remains is to calibrate the Instrument with the new
configuration data. You are asked if you would like to
calibrate the valve system with the following prompt:
The Configuration Wizard can now
calibrate the valve. Calibration will
cause the valve to move. Would you like
to calibrate the valve?
1. Yes
2. No
Enter choice (1-2) :
If you choose to calibrate the valve, the system starts
the calibration process. The first part of the calibration
process is to set the crossover for all actuators
requiring linearization. User interaction is only required
during calibration of sliding-stem valves. Rotary valves
require no user interaction and the Setup Wizard skips
to step 23. For sliding-stem valves, interaction
provides a more accurate crossover adjustment.
16. If the crossover must be set, you are prompted, to
select the desired method for setting the crossover:
Setting Crossover, Please select from the
following:
1. Manual (Mark New)
2. Use Default (50.0%)
3. Use Last Value (<value>)
Enter Choice (1-3):
If you select option 3, the crossover setting currently
stored in the instrument is used and there is no further
user interaction with the calibration routine. The Setup
Wizard skips to step 23. If you select option 2, an
approximate value for the crossover is sent to the
instrument and there is no further user interaction with
the calibration routine. The Setup Wizard skips to step
23.
17. If you select option 1, the instrument calibration
routine sets the valve end points and allows you to set
the crossover.
18. The Setup Wizard next does a quick check of the
current crossover value and sets it to a default value if
the current value is not within an acceptable range. It
then commands the instrument to mark the end points

of travel. While waiting for the instrument, the Setup
Wizard displays the message:
Calculating End Points
19. The Setup Wizard waits for the end point to be
marked. If the instrument does not respond within a
certain amount of time (approximately120 seconds),
the Setup Wizard displays the following prompt:
The End Point timer has expired, Please
select one of the following Options:
1. Continue Waiting for End Point to
Complete
2. Stop Waiting, go to next step 3
3. Abort the End Point function
Enter choice :
If you select option 1, the time-out value is reset and
the Setup Wizard continues to wait. If you select
option 2, the Setup Wizard stops waiting and
continues with its process as if the end points had
been calculated. If you select option 3, then the Setup
Wizard aborts and displays the following message:
[xxxxx] Method Aborted by User
where [xxxxx] is a sequence number used by factory
maintenance personnel to troubleshoot the Setup
Wizard.
20. In this step the Setup Wizard checks to see if the
instrument completed end-point detection with or
without errors. If the instrument completes its routine
with errors, the Setup Wizard displays the following
prompt to ask you how to proceed:
An error has been encountered during the
Mark Crossover process. Would you like to
continue with Marking Crossover?
1. Continue with Mark Crossover
2. Abort Mark Crossover
Select Option :
If you select option 1, the Setup Wizard continues with
its process as if no error had occurred. If you select
option 2, the Setup Wizard aborts and displays the
following message:
[xxxxx] Method Aborted by User
21. If the instrument completes its routine without any
errors, the Setup Wizard then prompts you to set the
crossover. This prompt includes the current travel
value and asks you to enter the direction the valve
should move in order to set the crossover. The prompt
is:
Crossover Adjustment (Travel = <value>)

as shown in figure 3-1. Once the feedback arm is in
the right position, select Done. At this point, the Setup
Wizard instructs the instrument to mark the crossover
position.
23. Once the end points and crossover are set,
instrument calibration begins. The Setup Wizard puts
the instrument in the correct mode for calibration,
displays the following message:
Auto Calibrate In Progress..
and waits for the calibration routine to complete. If the
instrument does not respond within a certain amount
of time, the following prompt appears:
The Auto Cal timer has expired, Please
select one of the following Options:
1. Continue Waiting for Cal to Complete
2. Stop Waiting, go to next step
3. Abort the Calibration
Enter Choice :
If you select option 1, the time-out value is reset and
the Setup Wizard continues to wait. If you select
option 2, the Setup Wizard stops waiting and
continues with its process as if the calibration routine
had completed. If you select option 3, causes the
3-8
Setup Wizard to abort and display the following
message:
[xxxxx] Method Aborted by User
24. In this step, the Setup Wizard checks to see if the
instrument completes its routine with or without errors.
If the instrument completes the routine with errors, the
Setup Wizard displays the following message to tell
you there was an error and continues:
Error encountered during calibration. The
calibration data will not be saved. Fix
the problem causing the error and restart
the auto cal method.
25. If the instrument calibration routine completes
without any errors, the Setup Wizard momentarily
(approximately 3 seconds) displays the following
message:
Auto Calibrate Complete
26. You are then asked, with the following prompt, if
the calibration data should be saved in the
instrument’s Non-Volatile Memory (NVM):
Save the Calibration Data to NVM?
1. Yes
2. No
Enter choice (1-2) :
If you respond with No, the Setup Wizard skips to step
27. If you respond with Yes, you are asked to enter
information about the calibration, including who
performed the calibration, where was it performed, and
the date on which it was performed:
Parameter Name: XD_CAL_WHO
Prompt String: Enter name of person
performing calibration
Parameter Name: XD_CAL_LOC
Prompt String: Enter physical location

27. In this step, the Setup Wizard closes the
instrument connection and displays the following
message:
Closing DVCf.
28. Part of closing the instrument connection includes
putting the transducer block into the Auto Mode. If the

This section describes the resource and transducer
block parameters that must be modified to setup the
instrument. Table 4-1 lists the parameters in this
section in alphabetical order by label. It provides the
block mode and protection necessary to modify the
parameter and a page reference where more detail on
the parameter can be found. Each parameter is
identified by its label as well as its parameter name.
The mode listed is the actual mode the block must be
in to be able to modify the parameter.
Access to each parameter depends upon the host
system software. For information on using the host
system to modify block parameters, see the
appropriate system documentation.
4 block. The actual mode is calculated as part of block
Block Modes
Setting up and calibrating a digital valve controller
requires modifying parameters in the resource and
transducer blocks. All blocks have a mode parameter,
which determines the source of the set point, the
destination of the output, and how the block executes.
The ability to modify a block parameter is determined
by the mode. The mode required to change the
parameter is listed in the description for each
parameter.
The block mode is determined by the Block Mode
parameter (parameter name MODE_BLK). It is a
structured parameter composed of the subindexes
actual, target, permitted, and normal. The following
defines each of the subindexes.
D Permitted mode—(subindex 3) The permitted
mode defines the modes allowed for the block. This
again 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 subindex is checked
against the permitted subindex to ensure the
requested mode is permitted.
However, when setting the Permitted mode, there is
no check against any of the other subindexes (Normal
or Target modes). Therefore, the instrument may be in
a Normal or Target mode that is not permitted
because the permitted subindex 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
subindexes are tested against the Permitted modes,
thus the user cannot change the Normal or Target
modes to what was formerly permitted.
D Normal mode—(subindex 4) The normal mode
is the mode the block should be in during normal
operating conditions. The normal mode is set by the
4-2
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.
D Target mode—(subindex 1) 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 subindex
of the mode parameter.
D Actual mode—(subindex 2) This is the current
mode of the block. The actual mode may differ from
the target modes due to operating conditions of the
execution.
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 system
documentation.
Restarting the Instrument
WARNING
Restarting the instrument may cause
loss of process control.
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.
There are three different restarts: Restart Resource,
Restart Processor, and Restart with Defaults.
Following is a brief description of the effects for each
of these restarts.
D Restart Resource—Performing a Restart
Resource has no observable effect on the instrument.
D Restart Processor—Performing a Restart
Processor has the same effect as removing power
from the instrument and re-applying power.
D Restart with Defaults—Performing a Restart
with Defaults should be done with care. This restart
resets the static parameters for all of the blocks in the
instrument to their initialized state. It also disconnects
all links within the instrument. After performing a
Restart with Defaults, a Restart Processor also should

4. If you select any type other than Custom, Input
Characterization sets the type selected and returns to
the previous menu. If you select Custom, Input
Characterization takes you through the process of
setting the characterization array.
5. To set the array, Input Characterization prompts
you to select an action. An action in this case is to
either select a starting baseline for the array, edit the
array, or save the array to the instrument:
Select Action for the Custom Array
1. Set Baseline Array to Linear
2. Set Baseline Array to Equal Percentage

6. After the input is entered, it is checked for validity.
If the input is not within the valid range, Input
Characterization prompts you with the following:
Illegal Input <value>, Try Again
where <value> is the entered value.
7. If you select items 1 through 5, Input
Characterization initializes the array to the specified
baseline and returns to the menu above. If you select
option 5, Input Characterization asks you for the value
to be used. The data is then checked to see if the
minimum or maximum allowed values are exceeded. If
they are, Input Characterization limits your input to
one of these values. The prompt is:
Enter percentage :
The value entered must be between –25% and
+125%. Input Characterization checks your input and
verifies that it is within this range. If it is not within
range, Input Characterization displays:
Illegal Input <value>, Try Again
where <value> is the entered value.
October 1998
Detailed Setup
If the input is within range, Input Characterization then
initializes the array to a default value prior to writing
the desired value to the array.
8. If you select the Edit User Array option, Input
Characterization goes into a loop, consisting of the
following steps:
a. You are prompted to enter the index number of
the array to be edited (first time, the default is 1):
Enter Array Index (1 - 49, 99 Exits) :
Input Characterization checks for a valid input. If the
index number entered is not valid, it prompts you
again for a valid value:
Illegal Input <value>, Try Again
4
where <value> is the value entered. Input
Characterization assigns a value of 1 to the index
number if no valid input is entered and returns to step
8a.
b. If the input is valid, Input Characterization
prompts you to enter the data for the index. The
prompt displays the index number, the
corresponding input percentage for the index, and
the valid range for the index:
Enter Array Value for Index (<index>)
(<value>) :
(Value must be => <lo range> and <= <hi
range>)
The data you enter is verified against the valid range.
If the data entered is outside the range, Input
Characterization responds with:
Illegal Entry (<value>), try again
The array index is not changed and Input
Characterization returns to the start of the loop (step
8a), again prompting for the index.
c. If the data entered is correct, it is stored in the
array, and Input Characterization returns to step
8a. If the index number is 49 before it is
incremented, then the array index rolls over to 1.
When you are done modifying the array, enter a value
of 99 for the index number. Input Characterization
then checks the validity of the array and displays the
following message:
Verifying Array
If an error is found, Input Characterization informs you
via the following message and returns to the start of
the loop (step 8a), with the default index number of the
entry that failed verification:
Entry number <index> is <-25 or >125.
Please correct the entry and retry.

where <index> is the index number of the erroneous
entry.
9. If the array is correct, then Input Characterization
responds with:
Write Custom Characterization Array to
the DVCf?
1. Yes, write data to the DVCf
2. No, do not write data
Enter Choice :
4 If you respond with No, Input Characterization returns
to the start of the loop (step 8a) without any action. If
you respond with Yes, Input Characterization writes
the data to the instrument and displays the following
message:
Writing Data..
10. Once the data is written to the instrument, it also
should be stored in Non-Volatile Memory (NVM). Input
Characterization displays the following prompt to ask if
you want to store the data in Non-Volatile Memory:
Write Custom Characterization Array to
NVM (This will write ALL the
configuration data to NVM)?
1. Yes, write data to NVM
2. No, do not write the data
Enter Choice : ",
If you respond with Yes, the data is written to NVM. If
you respond with No, the data is not written to NVM.
Input Characterization then continues by returning to
step 5.
11. If at step 5 you select option 7 (Save Array to
DVCf) Input Characterization performs steps 9 and 10.
12. If at step 2 you select Edit Custom
Characterization Array, Input Characterization checks
the current characteristic type. If Custom
Characterization is not selected, Input
Characterization prompts you as follows:
You have selected 'Edit Custom
Characterization Array', but have not set
the characterization type to 'Custom'.
Should the Input Characterization be
changed to 'Custom'?
1. Yes, Change Input Characterization to
Custom
2. No, Do Not Change Input
Characterization
4-12
Enter Choice :
If the characterization should be changed to Custom,
enter 1. The characterization is changed to custom
and Input Characterization skips to step 5 asking you
to select an action. If you enter 2, Input
Characterization returns to step 2.
If at step 2 you select Exit Method, the method
displays the following:

Auto Calibrate Travel
You can automatically calibrate the instrument travel
using the Auto Calibrate method. The Auto Calibrate
method (method name AUTO_CALIBRATE) is
included with the device description (DD) software. For
information on using methods on the host system and
the Auto Calibrate method to automatically calibrate
instrument travel, see the host system documentation.
1. Start the Auto Calibrate method. Once the Auto
Calibrate method has initialized, it prompts you to
verify that the AO block is in the correct mode. Due to
current limitations of the DD, the Auto Calibrate
method cannot read the mode of the AO Block. The
prompt contains the following:
Due to DD limitations, this method can
not verify that the AO block is in the
mode required for correct operation of
5 this wizard. If you are not sure of the
mode for the AO block, please abort the
wizard at this time (option 2 below),
place the AO Block in Out-of-Service, and
restart this method.
If the AO block is Out-Of-Service, Select
continue to proceed with the Setup
Wizard.
1. Continue with Method
2. Abort so mode can be checked
Select Option :
If you respond with any input other than 1, Auto
Calibrate aborts to allow you to change the AO block
mode to Out of Service. If you enter a 1, Auto
Calibrate continues to the next step. Note: While the
AO block is Out of Service, the instrument output will
not track the input.
2. In this step, Auto Calibrate initializes the instrument
and prepares it for configuration. This includes setting
the transducer block mode, determining current tuning
set, data protection, and saving certain parameters.
Auto Calibrate indicates the instrument is being
initialized by displaying:
Initializing DVCf..
3. Once initialization is complete, Auto Calibrate sets
the crossover for all actuators requiring linearization. If
the actuator does not require linearization, Auto
Calibrate skips to step 10. If the crossover must be set
you are prompted to select the desired method for
setting the crossover:
Setting Crossover, Please select from the
following:
1. Manual (Mark New)
2. Use Default (50.0%)
3. Use Last Value (<value>)
Enter Choice (1-3):
5-2
If you select option 3, Auto Calibrate does not change
the value in the instrument and skips to step 10. If you
select option 2, Auto Calibrate uses 50% for the
crossover during calibration and skips to step 10.
4. If you select option 1, then the instrument calibrate
routine sets the valve end points and allows you to set
the crossover.
5. Auto Calibrate does a quick check of the current
crossover value and sets it to a default value if the
current value is not within an acceptable range. It then
commands the instrument to mark the end points of
travel. While waiting for the instrument, Auto Calibrate
displays the message:
Calculating End Points
6. Auto Calibrate waits for the end point to be marked.
If the instrument does not respond within a certain
amount of time (approximately120 seconds), Auto
Calibrate displays the following prompt:
The End Point timer has expired, Please
select one of the following Options:
1. Continue Waiting for End Point to
Complete
2. Stop Waiting, go to next step
3. Abort the End Point function
Enter choice :
If you select option 1, the time-out value is reset and
Auto Calibrate continues to wait. If you select option 2,
Auto Calibrate stops waiting and continues processing
as if the end points had been calculated. If you select
option 3, then Auto Calibrate aborts and displays the
following:
[xxxxx] Method Aborted by User
where [xxxxx] is a sequence number used by factory
maintenance personnel to troubleshoot the Auto
Calibrate method.
7. In this step Auto Calibrate checks to see if the
instrument completed end-point detection with or
without errors. If the instrument completes its routine
with errors, Auto Calibrate displays the following
prompt to ask you how to proceed:
An error has been encountered during the
Mark Crossover process. Would you like to
continue with Marking Crossover?
1. Continue with Mark Crossover
2. Abort Mark Crossover
Select Option :
If you select option 1, Auto Calibrate continues with its
process as if no error had occurred. If you select
option 2, Auto Calibrate aborts and displays the
following:

8. If the instrument completes its routine without any
errors, Auto Calibrate prompts you to set the

Auto Calibrate continues to wait. If you select option 2,
Auto Calibrate stops waiting and continues with its
process as if the auto cal had completed. Selecting
option 3 causes Auto Calibrate to abort and display
the following:

11. In this step, Auto Calibrate checks to see if the
instrument completes its routine with or without errors.
If the instrument completes the routine with errors,
Auto Calibrate displays the following message to tell
you there was an error and continues: 5

tested. If all hardware tests pass, the instrument state
moves to Initialization. If a hardware failure is
detected, the instrument state changes to Failure.
D Initialization—The instrument can enter this
state from the Start/Restart or Failure states. In 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 On-line Linking.

 DVC5000f Series
D On-line Linking—In this state, all defined links
are evaluated. Once defined links are established, the
instrument state changes to On-line.
D On-line—The instrument will be in this state if it
is operational and all defined links are established. If
one or more defined links are detected as not
established, the state changes to On-line linking.
D Standby—The instrument enters this state if the
resource block mode is Out of Service. 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 changes to Start/Restart.
D Failure—This state may be entered from any
other state except Standby. The instrument moves to
this state whenever a hardware or memory failure is
detected which would prevent reliable operation. When
6 the failure clears, the instrument state moves to
Initialization.

7 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Communication
The DVC5000f Series 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, 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.
The fieldbus environment is the base level group of
digital networks in the hierarchy of plant networks. The
fieldbus retains the desirable features of analog
systems such as:
D a standardized physical interface to the wire
D bus powered devices on a single wire pair
D intrinsic safety options.
In addition, the FOUNDATION fieldbus enables:
D Increased capabilities due to full digital
communications
D reduced wiring and wire terminations due to
multiple devices on one pair of wires
D increased selection of suppliers due to
interoperability

For more information on the operation of the
FOUNDATION fieldbus, refer to the FOUNDATION
fieldbus specifications.
Digital Valve Controller Operation
DVC5000f Series digital valve controllers have a single
master module 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 master
module can be rebuilt by replacing the submodules.
See figures 7-1 and 7-2.
DVC5000f Series digital valve controllers are
bus-powered instruments that provide a control valve
position in response to a digital input from the control
room. The following describes a direct acting Type
DVC5010f digital valve controller mounted on a Type
657 actuator.
The input 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 input increases, the drive signal to the I/P
converter increases. This increases the pressure to

the pneumatic relay submodule. As the pressure
increases, the pneumatic relay opens the supply port
and closes the exhaust port, increasing the output
pressure to the actuator. The increased output
pressure causes the actuator stem to move
downward. 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
downward until the correct stem position is attained. At
this point the printed wiring board assembly decreases
the I/P drive signal reducing nozzle and relay pressure
until the system is in equilibrium.
As the input decreases, the drive signal to the I/P
converter submodule decreases, decreasing the
pressure. The pneumatic relay closes the supply port
and opens the exhaust port, releasing the actuator
casing pressure to atmosphere. The stem moves
upward until the correct position is attained. At this
point the printed wiring board assembly increases the
I/P drive signal until the system returns to equilibrium.

Appendix A Device Description (DD)
Installation
Overview
The official device descriptions (DD) for the DVC5000f
Series digital valve controller are supplied via two
sources, the Fieldbus Foundation and Fisher Controls.
Both sources provide the DD in at least two formats,
CD-ROM and World Wide Web download.
The directory structure defined by the Fieldbus
Foundation for device descriptions is as follows:
....\xxxxxx\yyyy\rrddvv.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. The Fieldbus
Foundation defines a folder named “release”
that is included with the CD-ROM distributed
by them (\release\xxxxxx...). This folder is not
required.
xxxxxx is the 6-digit hexadecimal equivalent of the
manufacturer’s identification number as
defined by the Fieldbus Foundation. Fisher
Controls’ ID number is 20736, which, in
hexadecimal 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.
The device type for the DVC5000f Series
digital valve controller is 768 (hex 300). 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).
October 1998
DD Installation
dd is the 2-digit hexadecimal equivalent of the
device description (DD) revision that applies to
the device, as defined by the manufacturer. It
is stored in the instrument Resource Block in
the parameter DD Revision (parameter name
DD_REV). This code is not included on files
that conform to the FOUNDATION Fieldbus
Common File Format specification (see vv
below).
vv is the 2-digit hexadecimal equivalent of the
device description (DD) or Common File
(CFF) version that applies to the device, as
defined by the manufacturer. It is not stored in
the device but reflects the latest version of the
DD or CFF that applies to the device. When
multiple files are included in the folder, the file

Glossary
Algorithm
A set of logical steps to solve a problem or
accomplish a task. A computer program contains
one or more algorithms.
Alphanumeric
Consisting of letters and numbers.
ANSI (acronym)
The acronym ANSI stands for the American
National Standards Institute
ANSI Class
Valve pressure/temperature rating.
Bench Set
Pressure, supplied to an actuator, required to
drive the actuator through rated valve travel.
Expressed in pounds per square inch.
Byte
A unit of binary digits (bits). Usually a byte
consists of eight bits.
Configuration
Stored instructions and operating parameters for
a FIELDVUE Instrument.
Control Loop
An arrangement of physical and electronic
components for process control. The electronic
components of the loop continuously measure
one or more aspects of the process, then alter
those aspects as necessary to achieve a desired
process condition. A simple control loop
measures only one variable. More sophisticated
control loops measure many variables and
maintain specified relationships among those
variables.
Revision A — October 1998
Glossary
Controller
A device that operates automatically to regulate a
controlled variable.
Crossover Point
The mid-point of the stroking range of a
sliding-stem actuator. A visual indication of the
crossover point is found when the slot in the
instrument feedback arm forms a 90-degree
angle with the valve stem.
Deadband
Region around a reference point that must be
exceeded before a new event occurs.
Deviation
Usually, the difference between set point and
process variable. More generally, any departure
from a desired or expected value or pattern.
Device ID
Unique identifier embedded in the instrument at
the factory.
Drive Signal
The signal to the I/P converter from the printed
wiring board. It is the percentage of the total 13
Glossary
microprocessor effort needed to drive the valve
fully open. In most applications, drive signal
ranges from 55% to 75%.
Feedback Arm
The mechanical connection between the valve
stem linkage and the FIELDVUE Instrument
travel sensor.
Feedback Signal
Indicates to the instrument the actual position of
the valve. The travel sensor provides the
feedback signal to the instrument printed wiring
board assembly. A mechanical linkage connects
the travel sensor to the valve stem or shaft.
Glossary-1
 DVC5000 Series
Firmware
The combination of a hardware device and
computer instructions and data that reside as
read-only software on that device.
Note
1. This term (firmware) is sometimes
used to refer only to the hardware de-
vice or only to the computer instruc-
tions or data, but these meanings are
deprecated.
2. The confusion surrounding this
term has led some to suggest that it be
avoided altogether. The term is in-
cluded here because of its use in older
documentation and culture.
Gain
The ratio of output change to input change.
Hardware Revision
Revision number of the Fisher Controls
instrument hardware. The physical components
of the instrument are defined as the hardware.
HART (acronym)
The acronym HART stands for Highway
Addressable Remote Transducer.
13
Glossary
Instrument Level
Determines the functions available for the
instrument.
Leak Class
Defines the allowable leakage by a valve when it
is closed. Leak class numbers are listed in two
standards: ANSI/FCI 70-2-1991 and IEC 534-4
(1986).
Linearity, dynamic
Linearity (independent) is the maximum deviation
from a straight line best fit to the opening and
closing curves and a line representing the
average value of those curves.
Glossary-2
Memory
A type of semiconductor used for storing
programs or data. FIELDVUE instruments use
three types of memory: Random Access Memory
(RAM), Read Only Memory (ROM), and
Non-Volatile Memory (NVM).
Non-Volatile Memory (NVM)
A type of semiconductor memory that retains its
contents even though power is disconnected.
NVM contents can be changed during
configuration unlike ROM which can be changed
only at time of instrument manufacture. NVM
stores configuration restart data.
Octet
See byte
Parallel
Simultaneous: said of data transmission on two or
more channels at the same time.
Pressure Sensor
A FIELDVUE instrument internal device that
senses the output pressure from the pneumatic
relay.
Random Access Memory (RAM)
A type of semiconductor memory that is normally
used by the microprocessor during normal
operation that permits rapid retrieval and storage
of programs and data. See also Read Only
Memory (ROM) and Non-Volatile Memory (NVM).
Rate
Amount of change in output proportional to the
rate of change in input.
Read-Only Memory (ROM)
A memory in which information is stored at the
time of instrument manufacture. You can examine
but not change ROM contents.
Seat Load
Force exerted on the valve seat, typically
expressed in pounds force per lineal inch of port
circumference. Seat load is determined by shutoff
requirements.
Software
Computer programs, procedures, and possibly
associated documentation and data pertaining to
the operation of a computer system.
Revision A — October 1998

Temperature Sensor
A device within the FIELDVUE instrument that
measures the instrument’s internal temperature.
Travel
Movement of the valve stem or shaft which
changes the amount the valve is open or closed.
Travel Sensor
A device within the FIELDVUE instrument that
senses valve stem or shaft movement. The travel
sensor is mechanically connected to the valve
stem or shaft.
Revision A — October 1998
Glossary
Tuning
The adjustment of control terms or parameter
values to produce a desired control effect.
Tuning Set
Preset values that identify gain and rate settings
for a FIELDVUE instrument. The tuning set and
supply pressure together determine an
instrument’s response to input signal changes.
Watch Dog Timer
A timer that the microprocessor must pulse
periodically. If the microprocessor is unable to
pulse the timer, the instrument shuts down.
