Fisher™ FIELDVUE™ DVC6200 Set-Up with AMS ValveLink

hi I'm lining taco with Spartan controls I'm in our education lab today to go through the basic steps required to run through your guided setup on a DBC 6200 series of ala positioner using the AMS valve link snap-on software like always you want to make sure you wear your safety glasses and follow all safe work practices our first step is to ensure that our DBC is mounted correctly and that our feedback URI is lined up lastly we'll need to make sure our lines are connected and that we have our regulator set 5 psi above our operating range on our actuator you can find that operating range right here on the nameplate and if you have any questions about mounting your DBC or lining up your feedback array there's a link in the description to another video to show you how to do that with our Airlines physically connected to our DBC we can now apply our supply pressure and then check to see what our regulator setup with an operating range of 0 to 15 psi on our actuator we're gonna want to see 20 psi in our supply gauge this one right here is set a little bit low so I'm gonna crank up my regulator right now looks good tane down my lock nut with our physical installation complete we can now connect to the DVC with our valve link software for me I'll be using a USB heart modem and the 24 volt loop calibrator with the DBC fully connected to our computer we can now go into our valve link software and start our setup wizard the easiest way I've found to do that is to right-click on your tag and go down to setup wizard [Music] now if your DBC was previously set to in service it will prompt you to take it out of service before moving on to the next step as you can see here so yes I do want to change my service mode and we will set it out of service with the DVC now out of service it's gonna ask us a series of questions about our assembly first things first depending on the generation of DBC you have you may or may not see this question it's asking us what type of DBC are we setting up here is it a 6200 or a 6000 series the easiest way to tell would be to check the nameplate of your DBC or to simply just look at the connection head on your DBC if it's on the left side as you can see in the small picture here it's a DBC 6200 if it's on top it's a DBC 6000 series us today we have a 6200 so I'm gonna click Next what type of control do we want generally speaking our customers use travel control but if you have an ad and above diagnostic level you will be given the option to have pressure recovery modes as well and what this means is that on loss of signal from our travel sensor it will actually go into a smart pressure control mode or it acts like a smart I to P there are two options under this heading there's either auto recovery or manual recovery when our customers do choose to use this option we always recommend using the manual recovery mode which means that on loss of travel sensor you have to repair it and then tell the DVC to go back into travel control mode before it'll go back to it itself otherwise it'll automatically just go back into travel control mode if you have it on auto which could lead to problems especially if you have dead spots in the air potentiometer or if your magnetic array is misaligned but kind of giving you a signal for us today I'm just going to use travel control next relay type you will find this by just taking the cover off of your DVC will be a big sticker on your relay saying if it's an a a b or a c and whether or not it's standard or low bleed for us today I have a relay a but you could see some of the options that are on the drop down menu here next it's going to ask us to set our supply pressure so we set a regulator a few moments ago to 20 psi so I'm going to enter that information here again we want to set our regulator 5 psi above the operating range of the actuator next it's going to ask us what type of actuator we're actually setting our DBC up on in my case looking at the actuator nameplate I have a Fisher controls a six six seven size 30 but you'll see under these headings that there's many different options to choose from depending on what type of actuator you have as well as many different sizes the DVC uses this information to choose a tuning set to start out on as well as whether or not you have a volume booster or quick exhaust and your assembly then click Next here and lastly it's going to ask us if we want to set our DBC back to factory defaults if this is a new installation this is great it's gonna erase everything in the DBC and start fresh if you this is a DBC that's existing and you have custom settings in there whether that be custom characterization custom cut offs or alerting you're gonna erase all those settings and go back to factory defaults so just use this on there first installation and after the fact think about whether or not you want to be sitting back to your factory defaults or not I'm gonna click finish it's gonna send all this information to our DB C and in our case set it back to our factory defaults as well as put our actuator information in there are tuning information next it's going to ask us whether we want to run the Trop auto travel calibration in most cases you'll choose yes there are a few exceptions where you would say no those exceptions would be if you have a low powered and low CB solenoid tubed in between your DBC and your actuator if you have an extremely large actuator that needs a large volume of air or if you're working on a system that doesn't have hard stops an example of that would be like a looper system you'd want to say no into a manual travel calibration but since our system has two hard stops am I going to choose yes and then we're gonna click next and it's gonna start to move our valve and set our r0 and our spend on our assembly here [Music] [Music] now it's asking me if I want to set my pressure range is high and low this is used when you go into pressure control mode so I'm gonna want to select yes if I ever choose to go that route I'm in newer versions of the DBC and the software it actually just does this automatically for you and just selects yes and right now you can see that it's going to be mapping out the pressures as it leaves our valve seat as well as when we hit our fully open stop so that it can span that 4 to 20 milliamp input if you ever choose to go into or automatically go into the pressure control mode and there we have it our calibration is now complete our DVC will be fully functional at this point but if you do have extra time it's always a good practice to go in and fill out your detailed setup and your spec sheet but otherwise if you're just looking to get your DVC working all you have to do at this point is put it back in service I can do that easily in the top left here where this little light switches that says instrument mode click on that guy and we're going to set it back in the service it's always good practice now at this point you physically stroke your valve just to make sure that we're going to be hitting our set points and that everything is matching up so we always recommend you know doing a zero 25 50 75 and 100 percent steps just to make sure everything lines up and then it's fully functioning and it looks good on my end and that concludes the basic steps required to go through the guided setup on DBC 6200
