New Fisher FIELDVUE® DVC6000f Offers Continual Valve Health Diagnosis
Emerson Process Management has expanded its intelligent field device offering with the introduction of the FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus-based Fisher® FIELDVUE® DVC6000f digital valve controller. Carrying forward the industry benchmark performance of FIELDVUE® valve controllers, the DVC6000f provides fast, accurate responses with built-in valve diagnostics that help process manufacturers improve control and availability while reducing maintenance costs. Continuous Performance Diagnostics, Alert By Exception Improved availability and reduced maintenance costs result directly from the Performance Diagnostic (PD) capability built into the DVC6000f instrument.
PD inside runs continuously, analysing valve and actuator data while the valve remains in service, controlling the process. Using the PD information, the DVC6000f can trigger PlantWeb® alerts that warn of valve performance problems, enabling corrective action before a degraded valve can impact process operations. Embedded Diagnostic Specification Data In addition to maintenance benefits, valve and actuator specification data for diagnostic use is embedded in the DVC6000f instrument during factory mounting of the DVC to the valve, ensuring that the user has the data anytime. Enhanced Functionality and Durability Hot cutover to Fieldbus protocol is possible without taking the process down because the DVC6000f instrument can function in two operating modes, Pressure and Travel. Improved support in the form of firmware upgrades enhance the functionality of the DVC6000f instrument. These upgrades can be easily downloaded over the Fieldbus segment wiring, without interruption to process operations. Reduced process variability through tighter closed loop control increases the bottom line for quality and profitability. This is thanks to the fast AO and PID block execution of the DVC6000f that supports an extremely fast (100 millisecond) loop macro-cycle. Harsh environments such as temperature extremes, corrosive atmospheres and hazardous areas are not a problem for the robust controller. Optional stainless steel construction and remote mounting are also available to provide added durability.
