1. Introduction
The following instructions should be thoroughly reviewed and understood prior to installing, operating or performing maintenance on this equipment. Throughout the text, safety andlor caution notes will appear and must be strictly adhered to, otherwise, serious injury or equipment malfunction could result. Masoneilan has a highly skilled After Sales Department available for start-up, maintenance and repair of our valves and component parts. Arrangements for this service can be made through your local Masoneilan Representative or After Sales Department. When performing maintenance use only Masoneilan replacement parts. Parts are obtainable through your local Masoneilan Representative or Spare Parts Department. When ordering parts, always include Model and Serial Number of the unit being repaired.

A series of reduced area trim is available to provide wide flow range capabilities in all valve sizes

Tight Shutoff Class IV leakage is standard. Optional constructions (one of which is the 21600 Series soft seat plug) meet IEC 534-4 and ANSVFCI 70.2 Class V and VI requirements. An optional Low Emission LE@Packing is available to assure compliance with the fugitive emission containment requirements. Replacing the conventional plug with the single stage Lo-dB design (21700 Series) provides excellent noise attenuation or anti-cavitation performance. The 21800 Series double stage anti-cavitation valve is derived from the 21 700 single stage anti-cavitation valve through a modification to the cage and plug. Substitution of the standard cage with an anti-cavitation cage permits the pressure drop to be split between the two stages efficiently. The 21900 Series double stage Lo-dB@ valve is also derived from the 21700 single stage Lo-dB valve through a modification to the cage and plug. Substitution of the standard cage, with a Lo-dB cage permits the pressure drop to be split between the two stages efficiently. In the 21800/21900 Series designs, enlargement of the plug head up to the cage diameter permits simultaneous throttling the plug Cv and the cage C" It also provides optimum tion of the pressure drop between the two stages along the entire plug travel.

2. General
These installation and maintenance instructions apply to all sizes and ratings of the Masoneilan 21 000 Series control valves regardless of the type of trim used.

21000 Series single ported top guided control valves are designed with built in versatility making them well-suited to handle a wide variety of process applications.
Standard construction offers a contoured plug (21100 Series) with a threaded seat ring or a quick change seat ring. The heavy top plug guiding provides maximum support to ensure plug stability.

Figure 1 - Numbering System

Recommended spare parts required for maintenance are listed n the Parts Reference table on page 14. The model number, size, rating and serial number of the valve are shown on the identification tag located on the actuator. Refer to Figure 1 for the 21000 series numbering system.

4.4 For heat-insulated installation, do not insulate the valve bonnet. Take necessary protective measures relate to personal safety.

5. Air Piping
The actuators are designed to accept 1/4" NPT air supply piping. Use 1/4" OD tubing (4 x 6 mm) or equivalent for all air lines. If the supply air line exceeds 25 feet in length (7 meters) or if the valve is equipped with volume boosters, then 3/8" tubing (6 x 8 mm) is preferred. All connections must be free of leaks.

3. Unpacking
Care must be exercised when unpacking the valve to prevent damage to the accessories and component parts. Should any problems arise, contact the local Masoneilan Representative or After Sales Department.

4. Installation
4.1 Before installing the valve in the line, clean piping and valve of all foreign material such as welding chips, scale, oil, grease or dirt. Gasket surfaces should be thoroughly cleaned to insure leak-proof joints. 4.2 To allow for in-line inspection, maintenance or removal of the valve without service interruption, provide a manually operated stop valve on each side of the 21000 Series valve with a manually operated throttling valve mounted in the by-pass line (See Figure 2). 4.3 The valve must be installed so that the controlled substance will flow through the valve in the direction indicated by the flow arrow located on the body.

Caution : Do not exceed supply pressure indicated on serial plate located on the yoke of the actuator.

6. Body Disassembly
Access to the internal components of the body should be accomplished with the actuator removed. To remove the actuator from the body, refer to the actuator instruction No ER8788 for a type 87/88 multispring actuator.

Caution : Prior to performing maintenance on the valve, isolate the valve and vent the process pressure. Shut off the supply air line and the pneumatic or electric signal line.

6.1 Threaded Trim (Figure 12 or 14)


After removing the actuator, disassemble the body using the following procedure :
A. If there is a leak detector connection on the lateral NPT port of the bonnet, disconnect this piping as well. B. Remove body stud nuts (10).

F. Remove plug (16) and plug stem (1) sub-assembly from the bonnet (8). Caution: Care must be taken to avoid damage to the plug and plug guide.

C. Remove bonnet (8), and plug stem (1) and plug (16) sub-assembly together as one unit.
Note: Spiral wound body gaskets (1 1) are standard in the 21000 Series design and it is imperative that a new gasket be installed each time the valve is disassembled.
D. Remove packing flange stud nuts (3),packing flange (4) and packing follower (5). E. Remove plug (16) and plug stem (1) sub-assembly from the bonnet (8).

G. Remove old packing (6) [and optional lantern ring (7) if a leak detection connection has been installed]. Refer to Figure 5.
H. All components may now be inspected for wear and service damage. After determining the maintenance required, proceed to the appropriate Section of this instruction manual.

7. Maintenance & Repair


The purpose of this section is to provide recommended maintenance and repair procedures. These procedures assume the availability of standard shop tools and equipment.

Caution: Care must be taken to avoid damage to the plug and plug guide. F. Remove old packing (6) [and optional lantern ring (7) if a leak detection connection has been installed]. Refer to Figure 5.
G. Bonnet (8), plug (16), bushing (12) and seat ring (14) may now be inspected for wear and service damage. After determining the maintenance required, proceed to the appropriate Section of this instruction manual.

7.1 Threaded Seat Ring Removal (Figure 12 or 14)


Threaded seat rings (14) are installed tightly by the manufacturer, and after years of service they may be difficult to remove.

To facilitate removal, seat ring wrenches can be fabricate to engage the seat ring lugs and adapted to a standard wrench. If the seat ring is exceptionally resistant to removal, the application of heat or penetrating oil should be helpful.

6.2 Quick-Change Trim (Figure 13 or 15)


After removing the actuator, disassemble the body using the following procedure:
A. If there is a leak detection connection on the lateral NPT port of the bonnet, disconnect this piping as well. B. Remove body stud nuts (10)

Caution : When using heating devices, insure that proper safety practices are observed. Flammability and toxicity of the process fluid must be considered and proper precautions taken.

7.2 Bushing Removal


The bushing (12) is press fit into the bonnet and does not normally require replacement. If necessary, it may be pulled or machined out. When machining the bushing out, care must be taken to maintain proper dimensions and tolerances in the bonnet. These will be furnished upon request.

C. Remove bonnet (8), and plug stem (1) and plug (16) sub-assembly together as one unit.
D. Since the cage (13), seat ring (14) and seat ring gasket (15) are held in place by the bonnet, they may now be removed.

7.3 Lapping Seats


Lapping is the process of working the valve plug against the seat ring with an abrasive to produce a close fit. If valve leakage is excessive, lapping becomes necessary. The plug and seat ring seating surfaces should be free of large scratches or other defects, and the contact surfaces of the seats should be as narrow as possible. This may require dressing both parts in a lathe. The seating surface angle of the plug is 28 degrees and the seat ring is 30 degrees (relative to the centerline axis). A good grade of fine grinding compound is required fo the lapping operation.

Note : Spiral wound gaskets (1 1 & 15) are standard in the 21000 Series design and it is imperative that new gaskets be installed each time the valve is disassembled.

E. Remove packing flange stud nuts (3),packing flange (4) and packing follower (5).

Flow Control

Return to Info Centre

Instruction No EH 1080- 04/02 21000 Series Valves

The compound should be mixed with a small quantity of lubricant such as graphite. This will slow the cutting rate and prevent tearing of the seating surfaces. The amount of lapping required depends on the materials, condition of seating surfaces, and accuracy of machining. If a short period of lapping does not visibly improve seating, there is usually no advantage in continuing as excessive lapping may result in rough seats. The only remedy is replacement or re-machining of one or both parts. When lapping new plugs and seat rings, begin with a medium fine (240 grit) and finish with a finer grade (600 grit).

Caution: Avoid over-lapping as this can cause damage to the seating surface rather than improve leakage performance.
10.After completion of the lapping operation, remove bonnet and plug. The seating area of the seat ring and the plug must be cleaned of all lapping compound in preparation for reassembly. Do not remove seat ring.

7.3.2 Quick-Change Trim (Figure 13 or 15)


1. Clean body gasket surface areas.

Note : Lapping should produce a line contact area, not the entire surface, due to the difference in seat angles. Caution : Before lapping, the plug and stem sub-assembly must be concentric. (Seepinning operation, section 7.5). 7.3.1 Threaded Trim (Figure 12 or 14)
1. Clean body gasket surface areas. 2. When seat has been removed, insure that the sealing surface in the body bridge and the threads are thoroughly cleaned.

2. Install a new seat ring gasket (15) and insert seat ring (14) in the body.

Note: Gasket (15) is temporarily placed to hold the seat ring during lapping. I t i s imperative t o use a new gasket or a test part having the same geometrical characteristics in order to insure the correct position of the seat ring during lapping. This gasket (or similar part) can be kept after lapping for future use.
The gasket used for lapping must not be reused for the body reassembly. 3. Apply lapping compound at several spots equally spaced around the seating area of the seat ring.
4. Insert the cage (13) into the body. 5. Insert the stem and plug sub-assembly carefully into the body until it is seated.

Note: A sealant compatible with the process should be applied sparingly to the seat ring threads and sealing shoulder.

3. Install and tighten seat ring using fabricated wrench used for removal. Caution: Do not over-tighten. Do not strike seat ring lugs directly. This could distort the seat ring resulting in seat leakage.
4. Apply lapping compound on the plug at several spots

equally spaced around the seating area.


5. Insert the stem and plug sub-assembly carefully into the body until it is seated.

6. Place bonnet (8) on the body.

6. Place bonnet (8) on the body and fasten the bonnet to the body using four body stud nuts (10) spaced equally apart. Apply slight pressure and tighten evenly.

Caution : Insure that the seat ring (14), cage (13) and bonnet (8) are properly aligned. 7. Fasten the bonnet to the body using four body stud nuts (10) spaced equally apart. Apply slight pressure and tighten evenly. Caution: Do not tighten nuts to final torque specifications at this time. The bonnet is used temporarily for guiding purposes only.
8. Insert two or three pieces of packing into the packing box to assist in guiding the stem and plug during lapping. 9. Screw a drilled and tapped rod with a T-handle onto the plug stem and secure with a locknut (see Figure 4). Note: As an alternative, drill a hole through a flat steel plate and fasten to the plug stem using two locknuts. 10.Apply slight pressure on the stem, and rotate the stem in short oscillating strokes (around 8 to 10 times). Repeat this step as necessary.

Caution : Do not tighten nuts to final torque specifications at this time. The bonnet is used temporarily for guiding purposes only. 7. Insert two or three pieces of packing (6) into the packing box to assist in guiding the stem and plug during lapping.

Drill through the plug-stem assembly using a suitable size drill bit.

7.5 Plug Stem Pinning


Plug stem pinning in the field may be required for the following:
- Replacing existing plug and stem, or

In all cases after drilling : Remove any burrs from the plug guide hole by making a slight chamfer.
D. Pinning the Plug-Stem Assembly 1. Select the correct size pin based on the plug guide diameter and stem diameter (see Figure 9). Apply a small amount of grease on the pin and hand assemble it into the hole in the plug.

Replacing existing stem only

Replacing Plug and Stem


If it is necessary to replace the plug, then the plug stem must be replaced at the same time. The original pin hole in an existing stem will not provide the necessary fit, and might seriously impair the strength of the assembly.
A. Reference Marking on the Plug Stem

2. Press fit the pin into the hole using a hammer. Complete the pinning operation by taking care to ensure that the pin is recessed by the same amount at both sides (see Figure 9).

4 -

3. After the plug has been pinned, it should be placed in a


lathe to insure it is concentric with the stem.
If the assembly is not running true, then the stem should be placed in a collet with the plug guide against it and the plug should be adjusted. Alignment of plug stem can be performed by means of a soft faced mallet.

Measure the depth of the pilot recess in the plug (Dimension X in Figure 9), and make a reference mark on the plug stem at the same distance from the thread. Note: While pinning is being performed, care must be taken not to damage the seating surface or plug guide. Always use a soft metal or plastic vice jaws with cylindrical features to hold the plug guide area (see Figure 9). 6. Screwing Stem to Plug Hold the plug (with vise jaw assembly) in a vise. Lock two nuts against each other on the end of the new plug stem, and screw the stem solidly into the plug using a wrench on the upper nut. When properly assembled, the reference mark (see Section A above) should be flush with the end of the plug guide.
C. Drilling the New Parts

Replacing Existing Stem Only


A. Removing Existing Pin and Stem
1. Place the plug guide on a V-block and use a drift punch to drive out the old pin.

Note: If it is necessary to drill out the pin, use a drill bit slightly smaller than the pin diameter.
2. Hold the plug guide in a vise (see note on opposite side of page).

3. Lock one nut against another at the end of the plug


stem. Using a wrench on the lower nut, unscrew the stem from the plug. The stem is removed by turning it counterclockwise.

If the plug is already fully drilled (typical for 440 C hardened stainless steel material or solid stellite), then drill the stem to the same diameter (Diameter C in Figure 9) as the plug shank hole.

B. Screwing Stem to Plug


Refer to step B of the previous section on REPLACING PLUG AND STEM.

Note: On valves equipped with an optional lubricator connection, refer to Figure 10 for correct amount of rings to place under the lantern ring (7).

E. Replace packing follower (5) and packing flange (4).


F. Replace and tighten packing stud nuts (3).

C. Drilling the New Stem


Place the plug guide on a V-block and use a suitable size drill bit to drill the stem (use the hole in the plug as a guide). Note: If the hole in the plug guide has been slightly damaged while removing the old pin, choose a drill bit and a pin with a slightly larger diameter than the normal pin.
D. Pinning

(Caution:Do not overtiahten.


G. Place valve back in service and only tighten packing as necessary to stop external leakage.
Note: In an emergency; string packing may be used as a temporary repair only. It must be replaced with the correct packing as soon as possible.

Select the correct size pin based on the plug guide diameter and pin hole diameter. Proceed as described in part D of the previous section, taking care not to damage the plug guide area. Ensure plug stem alignment following the pinning operation.

7.6.2 Flexible Graphite Rings (Optional See Figure 6)

7.6 Packing Box (Figures 12 to 15)


Packing box maintenance is one of the principle action items of routine servicing. Tightness of the packing is maintained by packing compression. Compression is achieved by evenly tightening the packing flange nuts (3) against the packing flange (4). Care must be taken not to over tighten as this could prevent smooth operation of the valve. If all compression is used up and the valve leaks, then new packing is required.

Note : Flexible graphite packing rings replacement may require disconnecting the plug stem from the actuator stem and removal of the actuator if rings are not skive cut.
A. Remove actuator from the body S/A. Refer to actuator instruction No ER8788 for a type 87188 actuator. B. Loosen and remove packing flange nuts (3).

C. Remove packing flange (4) and packing follower (5) from the plug stem.
D. By means of a hooked instrument, remove packing (6) ensuring not to damage the sealing surfaces of the packing box or plug stem.

Caution : Valve must be isolated and the pressure vented before performing packing box maintenance.
Proceed as follows :

Note: On valves equipped with an optional lubricator connection, the lantern ring (7) must also be removed to gain access to lower packing rings.

Instruction No EH 1080 -04102 21000 Series Valves

The packing is provided as a set of five pieces. It consists of two adapter rings and three V-rings. An alternating pattern of Perfluoroelastomer (PFE) and long carbon fiber filled Teflon (PTFE) V-rings are used. Applied properly, this packing exhibits very little cold flow (or creep). Consequently, it can effectively prevent fugitive emissions leaks from a control valve. The LE Packing system can directly replace conventional packing, requiring no modification to the control valve or actuator. A spring loaded, two-piece follower assembly is used to maintain a constant load on the packing, and is necessary for thermal cycling applications. As the definition of thermal cycling can vary, and processes are potentially subject to unpredicted thermal gradients, LE Packing is only available with the spring loaded follower. Installation should be performed as detailed in the following paragraphs. 7.6.3.1 Preparation 7.6.3.1.1 Stem Inspect stem for any nicks or scratches on the surface finish. Reject the stem for any of these reasons as they may damage packing. Note: A properly etched part number on the stem in the packing area will have no adverse effect on the performance of the packing. Stem finish should be 3-7 AARH (Ra0,1/0,2). 7.6.3.1.2 Packing Box Note: Bonnets that have a lube hole are unacceptable for use with the packing arrangement shown in Figure 7. Packing box should be clean and free of burrs, rust, and any foreign matter. Parts can be cleaned with denatured alcohol. Note: Packing box finish should be 125 AARH , 2 )or better. (Ra 3 The packing box may be bored or honed oversize by up to 0.015" (0.38 mm) above the nominal diameter to improve the finish. For instance, a nominal 0.875" (22.22mm) packing box may be bored or honed up to 0.890" (22.60mm) and the LE Packing will still seal properly. Packing box must be finished to the bottom of the bore. 7.6.3.1.3 Packing Inspect packing rings. Do not use packing if any nicks or scratches on packing are observed. Check packing and ensure that it is in the proper arrangement (see Figure below). PFE material can be identified by the gloss black molded finish. PTFE material has a dull black machined finish. 7.6.3.2 Packing Installation a. The packing must be lubricated with Krytox@ fluori nated grease prior to installation (Krytox GPL206 or equivalent). b. Packing should be lubricated as a set (not individually) to minimize getting lubricant between the rings. c. Packing should be lubricated with a generous application to the O.D. and I.D. of the packing set. Note : All exposed surfaces of the packing set must be covered with the lubricant. d. PFE/PTFE is to be installed as a set. Carefully slide the packing set down the stem. Do not cock or force the packing on the threads.
If the packing set separates while on the stem, do not remove. Continue installing the remaining pieces to put the set back together.

7.6.3.1.4 Spring Loaded Follower The spring loaded follower consists of an upper and lower follower and eight (8) disc springs (see Figure below). The springs are installed inside the lower follower and positioned alternately. The assembly is held together by tape, which must be removed before installation.

e. Gently press the packing into the packing box. Do not tap the packing down into the box.

f. The spring loaded follower is installed on top of the packing. This follower is installed as an assembly held together by tape. This tape should be removed after assembly. Proper assembly of the packing box will leave the top of the Lower Follower 0.25 - 0.50 inches (6 to 13 mm) above the bonnet.
A groove is scribed into the O.D. of the upper follower. The packing flange is tightened evenly until the top of the Lower Follower aligns with the scribe mar (groove) in the Upper Follower.

Note: This is the optimum loading for this packing. Further tightening will shorten life of the packing. Thread locking compound can be used on packing nuts. For 3" - 6" valves:

a. Apply a light coat of lubricant to the O-ring and install on insert retainer. Caution: Insure any lubricant used is compatible with service conditions.
b. Install new insert on insert retainer and assemble as shown in Figure 3.

g. The packing should be checked for leakage. h. Packing load should be checked after the valve has cycled approximately 500 times. Adjust if necessary. No further adjustment should be required for the life of the packing.

7.7 Soft Seat Plug (Figure 3)


The soft seat plug used in the 21000 Series valve has a replaceable insert. To remove and replace the insert, proceed as follows.

c. Install plug tip into insert retainer sub-assembly insuring the plug tip seats evenly on the insert.
F. Carefully place the plug sub-assembly into a soft jaw vise, holding the plug by the flats provided on the upper end of the shank.

Caution: The shank OD is the plug guide. Extreme care must be taken to prevent scoring or marring this surface. Failure to do so could result in damage to the guide bushing and destruction of the plug. Two flats are provided for holding.

Caution: When using a vise to hold extreme care must be taken not to damage the plug shank. G. Using the appropriate tool used during disassembly, firmly tighten the plug tip. Caution: The plug tip must be tightened, allowed to set for approximately 4 hours, re-tightened, allowed to set another 4 hours, then tightened one more time. The purpose of this tightening sequence is to allow the insert material to "cold flow" into place on the plug sub-assembly.
H. Following the above tightening sequence, securely tighten the set screw down into the plug. Plug is ready for assembly into the valve.

A. Loosen set screw until the head of the set screw is flush with the OD of the shank.

Note : On 3/4"- 2" size valves, the plug tip has a machined slot into which a bar can be inserted for removal. On 3"-6" size valves, the plug tip has two machined holes into which a tool (fabricated with appropriate size pins) can be inserted for removal.
B. Carefully place plug sub-assembly into a soft jaw vise, holding the plug by the flats provided on the upper end of the shank.

Caution: When using a vise to hold the plug, extreme care must be taken not to damage the plug shank.
C. Using the appropriate tool, unscrew plug tip (counterclockwise) from the shank sub - assembly.

8. Valve Body Reassembly


After completion of the required maintenance, the valve should be reassembled using the following procedures: Note: If any of the following steps were completed during maintenance, then proceed to the next step.

D. Remove insert O-ring (for valve sizes 3"- 6" only) and insert retainer. Discard existing insert and O-ring.
E. Thoroughly clean all remaining metallic components and install new insert and O-ring as follows (according to valve size):

8.1 Threaded Trim (Figure 12 or 14)


A. Clean all gasket mating surfaces. B. Apply a small amount of sealant to the seat ring threads and sealing shoulder. Install seat ring into valve body.

For 3/4"- 2" valves :

a. Place new insert on shank and insert retainer as shown in Figure 3.


b. Install plug tip into shank sub-assembly. Hand tighten and insure plug tip seats evenly against insert.

Note: A sealant compatible with the process should be applied sparingly. C. Install and tighten seat ring using wrench used for removal.

Caution: Do not over-tighten. Do not strike seat ring lugs directly. This could distort the seat ring resulting in unwarrantedseat leakage.

10.1 Bellows Valve Disassembly (Figure 19)


Note: Spiral wound flexitallic gaskets are standard in the
21000 BS Series design. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT NEW GASKETS ARE INSTALLED EACH TIME THE VALVE IS DISASSEMBLED.

10.2.1 Plug/Stem Bellows/Bonnet Extension S/A


Plug stem pinning in the field may be required for: Replacing existing plug and stem-bellows S/A Replacing stem-bellows S/A only If the plug needs replacing, the stem-bellows sub-assembly should be replaced at the same time.

10.1.1 Threaded Trim


After removing the actuator, disassemble the body S/A using the following procedure: Disconnect the leak-off circuit from the bonnet (if this option is included). Remove nuts (27) and bonnet studs (26) from the bonnet (25). Remove packing flange stud nuts. (3), packing flange (4) and packing follower (5). Remove bonnet (25). Remove existing packing (6). Remove body stud nuts (10). Remove bonnet extension (29), stem bellows S/A (30) and plug (16) at the same time. Remove the plug pin (17), then remove the plug (16) from the plug stem (30). (See section 10.2.1.1 for unpinning the plug stem). Remove stem bellows S/A (30) by the top of the bonnet extension (29). If necessary, disengage the upper bushing of assembly (30) using a screwdriver in the groove provided for this purpose. Note: Be careful not to damage the seating surfaces of the bellows bushing. Remove the bonnet and spacer gaskets (28) and the body gasket (11). Bonnet extension (29), plug (16), guide bushings and seat ring (14) may now be inspected for wear and service damage. After determining the maintenance required, proceed to the appropriate section of these instructions.

The original pin hole in a stem which is being reused sometimes prevents a satisfactory result being obtained and can also weaken the plug-stem assembly. If the stem-bellows sub-assembly is being replaced, the new assembly can be fitted on an existing plug as long as it is in good condition and the removal of the pin has not deformed the hole or damaged it in any other way. Note: Always use soft metal vise jaws to hold the plug guide surface. Failure to take this precaution could result in damage to the plug guide surface during pinning (see figure 18). Be careful not to damage the plug seating surface during pin removal and assembly operations.
10.2.1.1 Unpinning the Plug Stem

Pull and hold the plug (16) out of the bonnet extension (29) to allow access to the plug pin (17). Place the plug guide on a V-block. Note: A lower mechanical stop has been provided to prevent damage of the bellows during this step. Using a drift punch, drive out the existing pin (17). Note: If it is necessary to drill out the pin, use a drill bit slightly smaller than the pin diameter. Be careful not to damage the hole of the plug guide. Lock two nuts against each other on the end of the plug stem, and use a flat spanner on the lower nut to prevent rotation while unscrewing the plug from the stem. The plug is removed by turning it counter-clockwise. Remove the two nuts from the plug stem. Complete step 10.1.1. Inspect the parts and carry out any necessary repairs, then reassemble the stem-bellows sub-assembly (30) through the upper hole in the bonnet extension (29) (see section 10.2.1.2).
10.2.1.2 Mounting of the Plug-StemlBellows S/A into the Bonnet Extension

10.1.2 Quick-Change Trim


Removal of the quick-change trim is accomplished using the same procedures as removal of the threaded trim. However, after the bonnet extension (29) has been removed from the body, remove the cage (13), the seat ring (14) and the seat ring gasket (15).

10.2 Repair
The purpose of this section is to provide recommended maintenance and repair procedures. These procedures assume the availability of standard shop tools and equipment.

Clean all contact surfaces of the bonnet extension (29) and the plug-stem/bellows S/A. Assemble a new gasket (28) on the upper flange of the bonnet extension.

Insert the new stem-bellows S/A through the top hole into the bonnet extension (29). Pin the plug on the stem (See section 10.2.1.3).

the correct size pin based on plug guide diameter and pin hole diameter. Proceed as described in Paragraph C above, taking care not to damage the plug guide area.

10.3 Plug and Seat Ring Seating Surfaces


It is not possible to lap the plug and seat ring seating surfaces after the bellows has been assembled to the stem.
If the seat ring shows signs of minor wear, it should be turned on a lathe to clean up the worn area. The seating surface of the seat ring is 30 degrees from centerline axis. However, no more than 0.010 in. (0.25 mm) of material should be removed. In cases where the seat ring cannot be repaired, or if the plug is also damaged the only alternative is to replace both parts.

10.4 Bonnet Reassembly


Install the bonnet (25) and assemble nuts (27) and studs (26). Bonnet must be positioned so the packing flange studs are at a 90 angle to the flow centerline. Refer to table in Figure 11 for proper bolt torque and tightening sequence.

1 1 . Place piston ring (1 1 ) on valve plug. Slide cage
over top of plug-and-stem subassembly. Do not damage piston ring (1 1). A ring compressor is recommended for this operation. If a graphite piston ring is used, the following installation procedure should b e followed.

13. Placeflat spring (1 7 )in position.(Used in 6sizeonly.) 14. Place body gasket (10) in position. 15. Carefully lower valve bonnet (7) over plug stem (1) until
it rests firmly in position. 16. Lubricate stud threads and bearing surfaces of the body nuts (8),with Molykote G or Graphikote No. 143.

For Valve Size 6


New graphite piston rings are furnished as a complete ring and must b e broken into two approximately equal pieces. Using a sharp knife, score the graphite ring in two places approximately 1 8 0 deg. apart. Hold each side of the ring securely and strike it across the edge of a table or bench forcing it to break at the scribe marks. Install the backup ring ( 2 7 ) on the plug and then the two graphite pieces taking care to match the separated ends together again. Note that the separations should b e positioned approximately 90 deg. from the separation in the backup ring. Gently squeeze the two graphite pieces until the ends meet. Use a small piece of acetate film tape (such as Scotch brand #810 Magic Transparent Tape) over the separations to hold the ends together. To facilitate easy removal, use only enough tape needed to hold the ring ends together. Slide the cage over the plug and stem subassembly taking care not to damage the piston rings. Where graphite rings have been installed, dissolve the tape used to secure the ends b y applying a small quantity of acetone to the top of the plug and stroking 3 or 4 times. Remove the dissolved tape residue from the cylinder walls with a clean rag dipped in acetone.

17. Evenly tighten bonnet nuts in sequence to the required torque as shown on page 7. 18. Slide guide bushing (22) over top of plug stem, dropping
it to the bottom of the packing box.

19. Install five rings of packing. Place packing spacer (5) on top of packing rings and then fill the remainder of
the packing box with packing rings. 20. Install packing follower (23), flange (4), and nuts (3). Packing flange nuts should be finger-tightened at this time.

Note: When installing a new plug assembly or, a new pilot, the stem must be pinned in place. (See paragraph on Plug Stem Pinning, page 6).

Trim Maintenance
Any trim part which is scored or otherwise damaged on the guiding surfaces, to the extent that it could interfere with proper valve action, should b e replaced.

Seat Repair
Minor scratches or nicks, in the seating surfaces of either the plug or seat ring, should be repaired in the following manner:

For Valve Sizes 2 through 4


New graphite piston rings are furnished as a complete ring and must b e broken at one point before installation. Using a sharp knife, score the graphite rings in one location. Hold each side of the ring around the score mark between thumbs and forefingers and bend the ring to break at the scribe mark. Install the Grafoil backup ring (27) on the plug and then the three graphite rings. Note that the breaks should b e positioned approximately 1 2 0 deg. from each other. Place the plug cap onto the plug and stem subassembly and install the hex head screws and tab washers finger tight, being sure the pre-bent leg of the tab washers are properly oriented to engage the balance hole(s). Slide the cage over the plug and stem subassembly taking care not to damage the graphite rings. Evenly tighten the hex head screws until the plug cap contacts the plug evenly all around. Continue tightening the screws to a torque of 100 in.lbs. for 1/4-20 bolts and 50 in.lbs. for #lo-24 bolts. Once the screws are tightened do not remove the plug from the cage. If the plug is removed from the cage, the plug and plug cap must be reassembled with a new Grafoil backup ring. To prevent the screws from backing out, with a screwdriver bend one tab washer leg up against a hex head flat on each screw.

6 Sizes
1. In the 41 4 0 0 Series plug, install two /4-20UNC x 2.25 long capscrews through the holes provided in the auxiliary plug (20), engaging the capscrews in the holes provided in the plug (15).

2. Tighten capscrews simultaneously or alternately, one turn at a time, until the retaining ring (19) can be removed. Then loosen capscrews in same manner until auxiliary plug can be removed. 2 and 4 Sizes

1. On the 41 400 Series plug, pressure must b e applied on the auxiliary plug to compress the spring (12).
2 . The retaining ring (19) can now be removed, thus allowing separation of the auxiliary plug and spring from the valve plug.

2 and 6 Sizes
If the auxiliary plug tip or guide shows damage, the auxiliary plug must b e replaced. If other seating surfaces on the valve plug or seat ring show signs of minor damage, they should be turned on a lathe to remove the damaged areas. However, no more than 0.015 of material should b e removed and the seat angle shown must b e held.

Packing Box
For smooth valve operation, the packing should b e compressed just enough to effect a seal. Tightness of

12. Lower plug and cage into body until they rest squarely on the seat ring (13). Do not damage seat ring.

Return to Info Centre


the packing box is maintained by the packing compression alone. This procedure may be repeated each time leakage occurs until all available compression is used up.

To add packing, take the valve out of service, then back off the packing follower and flange. Insert one or two rings of split-ring packing.

3. To facilitate lapping, screw a rod with T-handle on top of the valve stem and secure with a locknut. Or, as an alternative, drill a hole through a small flat piece of steel and fasten it to the plug stem with two locknuts 4. Lap by rotating the plug in short oscillating strokes. After 8 to 10 strokes, lift plug and turn 90". Repeat the lapping operation.

Lubrication
Standard packing does not require lubrication. For special applications, where different types of packing are used, lubrication may be used. Consult the factory or an authorized factory service representative when lubrication is required.

Grinding The Seat Ring


After the auxiliary plug, plug or seat ring seats have been turned, they must be ground as follows:

1 . Auxiliary plug lapping. Apply a good grade of fine


grinding compound at several spots equally spaced on the periphery of the seating surface of the plug.
2. Place auxiliary plug, with stem attached, in the seated position without assembling the pilot spring

Main Seat Lapping


Lapping the main seat is accomplished in basically the same manner as lapping the auxiliary plug. However, the trim including the gaskets should be assembled in the body. The bonnet, with the guide bushing in it, should be temporarily placed in position to act as an alignment fixture for the lapping operation. Otherwise, the lapping procedure is identical.

Plug Stem Pinning


If a plug and plug stem must be assembled, always use a new stem. Using the old stem with the original pinhole may seriously impair the assembly's strength.

Caution: When pinning, seating surfaces and plus guide must not be damaged.
The old pin may usually be removed by driving it out with a punch. If necessary to drill it out, use a drill somewhat smaller than the pin. Then drive out the remainder of the pin. When drilling, the plug should be placed with the guide section resting on a clean V-block.

MAIN PLUG
29O 30'

Caution: Do not mar the guide section of the plug by gripping it in the jaws of a vise.
The stem must be screwed solidly into the plug before starting to drill. This can be checked by measuring the depth of thread in the plug and making a reference mark on the stem at that distance from the end of the stem. When properly assembled, the reference mark should be flush with the end of the guide section. The stem can then be redrilled through the old hole in the guide section of the plug, using first a pilot drill of suitable size followed by a reamer to bring the hole to required size.

5.1. Packing box
Tight sealing within the packing box is obtained by compression of the packing (6). Compression must be achieved by evenly tightening the packing flange nuts (3) on the packing flange (4). Periodic re-tightening of the packing flange nuts is required to maintain proper sealing. Be careful not to over tighten the packing as this could prevent proper operation of the valve. If leakage persists after maximum packing compression, then the packing needs to be changed.
A packing spacer (5) is only required for a bonnet with a leak detector connection.

5.2.5 Valve plug and stem

If the valve plug needs to be replaced, then the stem must also be completely changed to guarantee correct pinning of the assembly. If only the valve stem needs to be replaced, then the valve plug can be reused.

6 - Valve reassembly
6.1. Pinning the valve plug stem
The valve plug (15) and stem (1) assembly consists of a stem threaded into the valve plug and pinned in place. If the valve plug (15) [or the auxiliary pilot plug (20) in the case of a 41405 valve] needs to be replaced, then a new stem should be used as well. Re-machining of the pin holes in the existing parts often prevents satisfactory results from being obtained, and can seriously impair the mechanical strength of the plug stem assembly.

Seat ring seat

Figure 6 If a slight defect exists on any of the above seating surfaces, lapping can be applied per the following instructions: Place the seat ring (13) in the body (noting the seating angle). For Models 41305, 41 505, 41605 and 41 905 assemble the cage (16) onto the seat ring. Spread a fine layer of high quality sealing compound on the seating surface. For Model 41405 valves, assemble the valve plug (15), cage (16) and stem (1). For Models 41305, 41505, 41605 and 41905, assemble the valve plug (15) and stem (1). Assemble the bonnet (7) and the guide bushing (22).

6.1.1 Reference marking on the valve plug stem


Make a reference mark on the valve plug stem at a distance "X' (Figures 7 and 8) equivalent to the stem recess in the valve plug.

6.1.2 Screwing in the valve plug stem


To carry out this operation, the valve plug must be prevented from moving by holding the plug shank with an appropriate tool. Screw two nuts onto the end of the new plug stem and lock them together. Screw the valve plug stem solidly into the plug, checking that the reference mark is level with the end of the plug shank.

Place an appropriate tool on the valve plug stem (1) thread to allow for manual rotation. Lap by slightly rotating the valve plug or the auxiliary pilot plug in alternate directions. After several rotations, lift the valve stem, turn it go", and repeat the operation.

.2. Seal ring assembly


6.2.1 Model 41 305 (Figures 9A and 9B)
These valves have spring-energized seal rings which must be assembled based on the specific valve operation (see Figure 9A). To insert the ring in the valve plug groove, place it over the conical top of the plug, then push down evenly from all sides until the qasket slips into the qroove (see Figure 9B). Flow-to-Open

6.1.3 Drilling hole (Figures 7 and 8) - pin . . For this operation, it is recommended clamping the valve plug-stem assembly by the plug shank to avoid damaging the guiding surfaces. Particular care must be taken so that the pin hole goes through the valve plug axis. If the valve plug is new, drill a hole of diameter C at a distance D from the end of the valve plug. Choose diameter C from Figure 7 according to the pin diameter used. If the hole is already drilled in the valve plug, use the hole as a guide to drill through the valve stem.

Flow-to-Close

6.1.4 Pinning
Insert the pin into the hole and press fit into the plug and stem. Make sure the pin is recessed by the same amount from both sides as shown in Figure 8. Place the assembly in the soft jaw chuck of a lathe to check alignment of the two parts. Correct any alignment defects by tapping it lightly with a plastic or rubber mallet.

6.3.41405 Valve Plug and Cage Assembly (Figure 14)


6.3.1 Valve plug and auxiliary pilot plug assembly
Assemble either the flat spring washers (sizes 2" to 4") or the coil springs (sizes 6" to 16"), then assemble the valve plug and stem assembly. Using the same tools as those used for disassembly (see chapter on disassembly), compress the springs so that the retaining ring can be installed into the groove in the main plug.

6.2.2 Models 41405 and 41505 (Figures 14 and 15)


These valves are equipped with metal seal rings. The inner ring has a straight cut while the outer ring has a staggered cut. To insert the rings into the plug groove, open the rings slightly by hand and slide them along the plug without damaging any of the parts. Assemble the inner and outer rings separately.

6.3.2 Cage assembly 6.2.3 Model 41605 (Figure 15)


These valves are equipped with an inner elastomeric ring and an outer PTFE ring. Insert the elastomeric back-up ring (41) into the groove. Place the PTFE seal ring(40) in boiling water for a few minutes. Slide the seal ring along the plug until it slips into the groove. For optimum insertion of the ring, a Serflex type ring compressor can be used to compress the ring in the groove for several minutes. Assemble the cage over the valve plug assembly from the top of the plug stem. Make sure the seal ring in the plug groove stays positioned correctly.

6.4. Completing Valve Body Assembly (Figures 14 and 15)


Proceed as follows: After checking that the sealing surfaces are clean, assemble the seat ring gasket in the valve body. Make sure the gasket is centered properly in the body. Assemble the seat ring or internal diffuser seat. Assemble the cage (or the cagehalve plugktem assembly in the case of 41405 valves) into the valve body. In the case of valves other than 41405 valves, insert the valve plug/stem/ring assembly into the cage taking particular care as it goes past the ring or spring-energized seal ring. For valve sizes less than ( 2 " to 4 " ) , assemble the body/cage gasket into the valve body. Make sure it is centered as well as possible.

6.2.4 Model 41905 (Figure 15)


These valves are also equipped with an inner and outer ring arrangement. The inner metal ring has a straight cut and the outer ring is made of graphite. Replacement graphite seal rings (45) are supplied in a closed ring form, and a notch must be cut before being assembled to the plug.

Caution: Follow instructions whenever working on equipment to prevent damage or InJury.

The spring-diaphragm actuator is a simple, powerful mechanical device. There are two general types, Air-toExtend Stem and Air-to-Retract Stem Actuators are designated by case size: Nos. 9, 11, 13, 15, 18,ldLand 24. Case sizes are identified on the serial plate and by case and yoke dimensions.

If equipment differs from what is described on instructions, consult the nearest Masoneilan Sales Office or Representative, or Masoneilan International, Inc.

verted. On the No. 9 through 18 actuators a gasket (19) at the joint of the diaphragm case and yoke and a packing box around the actuator stem prevents air leakage. The diaphragm acts as a flexible upper guide and the packing box assembly as the lower guide for the actuator stem. Air connections are V4NPT on No. 9 through 18actuators and V2 NPT on No. 24 actuators. Connections are located in the upper diaphragm case (air-to-extend actuators) or yoke (air-to-retract actuators).
Warning: Do not exceed the recommendedair pressure shown on serial plate.

The nominal range of a spring-diaphragm actuator is the air pressurerange in pounds per square inch (psi) for rated stroke under no load. Common ranges are 3-15 and 6-30 psi. The spring range and maximum allowable supply pressure are marked on the serial plate. For a 3-15 psi nominal range, the stem will start to stroke when the air pressure reaches 3 psi and will complete the stroke when the pressure reaches 15 psi (plus or minus 5%). In the air-to-extend actuator, conformation of the molded diaphragm to the diaphragm plate serves as a flexible upper guide for the actuator stem (26). The lower guide is an oil impregnated, bronze bushing (37) located in the spring adjustor (36). The air-to-retract actuator differs from the air-to-extend unit in that the spring (22), spring barrel (71) and spring adjustor (36) are located above the diaphragm plate (40) and diaphragm (39) which are in-

maintenance
Caution: Do not attempt to disassemble actuators, unless air pressure has been shut on.

Air-to-Extend Actuators
diaphragm replacement: Warning: Before disassembling the actuator, ail spring compression should be relieved by turning the spring adJustor(36), to prevent the upper case popping up when the cap screws (45) are removed. This is especially important on actuators with a high initial spring setting. Remove cap screws (45). nuts (46) and upper diaphragm case (43). Remove nut (30) or cap screw (76) and washer (41) to release the diaphragm (39). If possible, the replacement diaphragm should be of the molded type supplied by Masoneilan International. Inc. (see back cover for part numbers) but in an emergency a diaphragm may be cut from flat sheet stock for up to and including No. 15 actuators. To allow sufficient stroke without restriction due to flatness of the diaphragm, the diaphragm bolt circle should be about 10% greater than that of the diaphragm case.
Replace washer (41), nut (30) or cap screw (76) and upper diaphragm case.

pressure reaches minimum pressure of the rangestamped on the serial plate. This movement is most easily detected by feeling the stem as air pressure is applied. Note: Adjust spring compression only when there is no air pressure on diaphragm.

Air-to-Retract Actuators
diaphragm replacement: Procedure is the same as for air-to-extend actuators except that the entire upper case assembly (including spring barrel (71), upper diaphragm case (43), spring (22), spring seats (33 8 34), nut (30) and diaphragm plate (40)) must be removed to release the diaphragm. Install a new diaphragm and reassem ble the above parts. spring adjustment: Procedure is identical with that for air-to-extend actuators except that supply air is piped to the NPT in the yoke. packing box: The packing box is subject to low air pressure only and requires minimum maintenance. The packing is l/d (No. 9-15 actuators) or 3/16 (No. 18 and 24 actuator) string type graphite asbestos. The packing may be added to or completely replaced without disassembling either the actuator or the mechanism (or valve) to which it is attached. Be sure to tighten packing nut (20) lightly. Overtightening will cause excessive friction resulting in sluggish performance.

spring adjustment: An air supply, with a gauge and regulator, should be piped to the upper diaphragm case for this adjustment. Adjust spring compression so that the actuator stem (26) just begins to move when air

1. INTRODUCTION
The following instructions are designed to assist maintenance personnel in performing most of the maintenance required on the Model 87/88 actuator. Masoneilan has highly skilled service engineers available for start-up, maintenance and repair of our actuators and component parts. In addition, a regularly scheduled training program is conducted at the Training Center, to train customer service and instrumentation personnel in the operation, maintenance and application of our control valves and instruments. Arrangements for these services can be made through your Masoneilan Representative or Sales Office. When performing maintenance, use only Masoneilan replacement parts. Parts are obtainable through your local Masoneilan Representative or Sales Office. When ordering parts, always include Model and Serial Number of the unit being repaired.

3. ACTUATOR DESCRIPTIO..
The 87/88 Series are pneumatic spring diaphragm actuators which feature field reversibility (with no additional parts). Because of its multiple spring design, four standard spring ranges are achieved by varying spring quantity and placement. A molded rolling diaphragm and deep cases minimize area change, effecting a linear relationship between travel and air pressure.

Caution: For full automatic operation, the handwheel must be placed in the neutral position. If the handwheel is not in the neutral position, travel will be limited.

4. UNPACKING
Care must be exercised when unpacking the equipment to prevent damage to the accessories and component parts. Should any problems arise, contact your Masoneilan Representative or District Office.

2. GENERAL
These installation and maintenance instructions apply to the Masoneilan Model 87/88 actuator regardless of the valve body on which it is used. Actuator part numbers and recommended spare parts required for maintenance are listed in the Part Reference Table on page 12. The model number and action of the actuator are shown as part of the model number listed on the identification tag located on the actuator.

5. AIR PIPING
The Model 87/88 actuator is designed to accept 1/4" NPT air supply connections. If the actuator has been supplied with accessories, they are piped at the factory.

Caution: Do not exceed pressure indicated on identification tag.

Scope of Manual
This instruction manual includes specifications, installation, operating, and maintenance information for the DVC5000f Series digital valve controllers. The manual describes the functionality of FIELDVUE@ fieldbus instruments with device revision 7. This manual describes device setup using the FOUNDATION fieldbus specified DD (device description) parameter access and methods. The display and implementation of these parameters depends upon the host software available. Refer to the applicable host software documentation for information on executing methods and accessing parameters. For information on using the VL2000 Series ValveLink software with the instrument refer to the FlELDVUE VL2000 Series ValveLink *are User Guide Form 5446. Only qualified personnel should install, operate, and maintain this instrument. If you have any questions concerning these instructions or for information not contained in this instruction manual, contact your Fisher Controls sales office or sales representative for more information.

Instrument Description
DVC5000f Series digital valve controllers for FOUNDATION 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, 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 operators console within the control room. Using a compatible fieldbus configuration device, you 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. The DVC5000f Series digital valve controller is designed to directly replace standard single-acting valve mounted positioners.

Introduction
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, Stabilize/Optimize, Restart, Protect Transducer Data, Input Characterization, Auto Travel Calibration, Manual Calibration, Cal Tvl Sensor, Pressure Sensor Cal, StorelRestore Data, and Stroke Valve. Following is a brief description of each of these methods. The Setup Wizard and StabilizelOptimize methods are only available via the transducer block and are described in detail in section 3.
0 Setup Wizard-The Setup Wizard performs the initial setup and calibration of the instrument. Note: this method includes the ability to invoke the Auto Travel Calibration method discussed below. The Setup Wizard can also invoke the StabilizelOptimize method.

The Protect Transducer Data and Input Characterization methods are available only via the transducer block and are described in detail in section 4.
0 Protect Transducer Data -The Protect Transducer Data method is required for changing transducer block data protection. 0 input Characterization-The Input Characterization method provides a mechanism for setting the instrument input characterization, including the custom array. This method provides the user a simple mechanism for setting the parameter and the array, including data integrity checks, data presentation, and commandlresponse processing.

The Auto Travel Calibration, Manual Calibration, Calibrate Travel Sensor, Calibrate Pressure Sensor, and Store/Restore Data methods are all available via the transducer block and are described in detail in section 5.
0 Auto Travel Calibration-The Auto Travel Calibration method is required to automatically calibrate the instrument travel. It is provided as an independent method and is also a part of the Setup Wizard. The Auto Travel Calibration method, as it is included in the Setup Wizard, is also described in detail in Section 3. 0 Manual Calibration-The Manual Calibration method is required to manually calibrate the instrument travel. 0 Cal Tvl Sensor-The Cal Tvl Sensor method is available to calibrate the travel sensor when the instrument is mounted on a competitive actuator or when the travel sensor is replaced.
0 Pressure Sensor Cal-The Pressure Sensor Cal method is required to calibrate the internal pressure sensor information for display to the user.

StabilizelOptimize-The StabilizelOptimize 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.
0

The Restart method is only available via the resource block and is described in detail in section 4. Restart-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.
0

0 StorelRestore Data-The Store/Restore Data method is used to restore data in either the factory data or Field Setup section of Non-Volatile Memory (NVM). Store/Restore Data can also be used to store the current data into the Field Setup section of NVM. 0 Stroke Valve-The Stroke Valve method can be used to remotely stroke the valve via the host system. This method is available via the transducer block and is described in detail in section 8.

To use the DDs they must be installed on the host system. For information on installing the DDs, see Appendix F.

Mounting Type DVC5010f on Fisher Sliding-Stem Actuators


657 and 667 Actuators
Unless otherwise noted, refer to figures 2-1 and 2-2 for key number locations.

Avoid personal injury or property damage from sudden release of process pressure or bursting of parts. Before mounting the DVC5000f Series digital valve controller:
0 Disconnect any operating lines providing air pressure, electric power, or a control signal to the actuator. Be sure the actuator cannot suddenly open or close the valve. 0 Use bypass valves or completely shut off the process to isolate the valve from process pressure. Relieve process pressure from both sides of the valve. Drain the process media from both sides of the valve. 0 Vent the pneumatic actuator loading pressure and relieve any actuator spring precompression.
0 Use lock-out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.

To avoid personal injury due to the sudden uncontrolled movement of parts, do not loosen the stem connector cap screws on a Type 667 actuator when the stem connector has spring force applied to it. Apply enough pressure to lift the plug off the seat before loosening the stem connector cap screws.
1. Isolate the control valve from the process line pressure, release pressure from both sides of the valve body, and drain the process media from both sides of the valve. Shut off all pressure lines to the actuator, releasing all pressure from the actuator. Use lock-out procedures to be sure that the above measures stay in effect while you work on the equipment.

Mounting the Type 67CFR Filter Regulator


A Type 67CFR filter regulator, when used with the DVC5000f Series digital valve controllers, can be mounted three ways.

Integral-Mounted Regulator
Refer to figures 2-1, 2-2 and 2-6. Lubricate an O-ring (key 60) and insert it in the recess around the SUPPLY connection on the digital valve controller. Attach the Type 67CFR filter regulator to the side of the digital valve controller. This is the standard method of mounting the filter regulator.

Personal injury or property damage may occur from an uncontrolled process if the supply medium is not clean, dry, oil-free, or noncorrosive gas. Industry instrument air quality standards describe acceptable dirt, oil, and moisture content. Due to the variability in nature of the problems these influences can have on pneumatic equipment, Fisher Controls has no technical basis to recommend the level of filtration equipment required to prevent performance degradation of pneumatic equipment. A filter or filter regulator capable of removing particles 40 microns in diameter should suffice for most applications. Use of suitable filtration equipment and the establishment of a maintenance cycle to monitor its operation is recommended.

Yoke-Mounted Regulator
Mount the filter regulator with 2 screws (key 59) to the pre-drilled and tapped holes in the actuator yoke. Thread a 1/4-inch socket-head pipe plug (key 61) into the unused outlet on the filter regulator. The O-ring (key 60) is not required. Supply pressure must be clean, dry air or noncorrosive gas that meets the requirements of ISA Standard S7.3-1975 (R1981). A Fisher Controls Type 67CFR filter regulator, or equivalent, may be used to filter and regulate supply air. A filter regulator can be integrally mounted onto the side of the digital valve controller, casing mounted separate from the digital valve controller, or mounted on the actuator mounting boss. Supply and output pressure gauges may be supplied on the digital valve controller. The output pressure gauge can be used as an aid for calibration.

Casing-Mounted Regulator
Refer to figures 2-5 and 2-7. Use the separate Type 67CFR filter regulator casing mounting bracket provided with the filter regulator. Attach the mounting

Output Connections
A factory mounted digital valve controller has its output piped to the supply connection on the actuator. If mounting the digital valve controller in the field use 3/8-inch (10 mm) outside diameter tubing to connect the 1M-inch NPT or R 1/4 digital valve controller output connection to the pneumatic actuator input connection.

To connect a remote vent to Type DVC5020f digital valve controllers-rotary Replace the standard mounting bracket (key 74, figure 9-2) with the vent-away mounting bracket (key 74). Install a pipe plug (key 127, figure 9-2) in the vent-away mounting bracket (key 74). Mount the digital valve controller on the actuator as described in the Installation section of this manual.

Electrical Connections
FOUNDATION Fieldbus Connections
The digital valve controller is normally powered over the bus from a fieldbus 9 to 32 volt power supply. Refer to the site planning guide for proper wire types, termination, length, etc. for a fieldbus loop. Wire the digital valve controller as follows: (refer to figures 9-1 through 9-4 for identification of parts). Wiring should meet plant wiring standards. 1. Remove the terminal box cap (key 4) from the terminal box (key 3). 2. Bring the field wiring into the terminal box. When applicable, install conduit using local and national electrical codes which apply to the application. 3. The instrument is not polarity sensitive. Connect one wire from the control system output card to one of the LOOP screw terminals on the pwb/terminal strip assembly in the terminal box shown in figure 2-16. Connect the other wire from the control system output card to the other LOOP screw terminal in the terminal box.

Vent

If a flammable, toxic, or reactive gas is to be used as the supply pressure medium, personal injury and property damage could result from fire or explosion of accumulated gas or from contact with toxic or reactive gas. The digital valve controllerlactuator assembly does not form a gas-tight seal, and when the assembly is in an enclosed area, a remote vent line, adequate ventilation, and necessary safety measures should be used. A remote 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 remove 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.

Personal injury or property damage can result from the discharge of static electricity. Connect a 14 AWG (2.08 mm2) ground strap between the digital valve controller and earth ground when flammable or hazardous gases are present. Refer to national and local codes and standards for grounding requirements.

To avoid static discharge from the


plastic cover, do not rub or clean the cover with solvents. Clean with a mild detergent and water only.
4. As shown in figure 2-16, two safety ground terminals are available for connecting a safety ground,

To connect a remote vent to Type DVC501Of, DVC5030f, and DVC5040f digital valve controllers-sliding-stem Remove the plastic vent (key 52, figure 9-1). The vent connection is Il4-inch NPT or R 114 female. Typically, 3/8-inch (10 mm) tubing is used to provide a remote vent.

Test Connections

Personal injury or property damage caused by fire or explosion may occur if this connection is attempted in an area which contains a potentially explosive atmosphere or has been classified as hazardous. Confirm that area classification and atmosphere conditions permit the safe removal of the terminal box cap before proceeding. A FOUNDATION fieldbus communicating device, such as a personal computer running ValveLink VL2000 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.

Personal injury or property damage caused by fire or explosion may occur if the following procedure is attempted in an area which contains a potentially explosive atmosphere or has been classified as hazardous.

When commissioning more than one device on a fieldbus segment, identifying which device is at a particular location can be tedious without tags. The removable tag provided with the digital valve controller can be used to link the device ID and the physical installation location. The installer should note the physical location in both places on the removable commissioning tag and tear off the bottom portion. This should be done for each device on the segment. The bottom portion of the tags can be used for commissioning the segment in the control system.

DVC50OOf 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. 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.

Note
The A 0 block mode must be Out of Service for the Setup Wizard to operate properly.

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 the digital valve controller ships from the factory it is assigned an uninitialized address.
If there are two or more devices with the same address, the first device to start up will use the assigned 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. The A 0 block mode can be set to Out of Service by setting the Resource block mode to Out of Service. However, setting the Resource block to Out of Service also sets all function blocks within the device to Out of Service, including the PID block. If the PID block is used to control another loop, be sure some other means are provided to control the loop before taking the block Out of Service. Before starting the Setup Wizard, the A 0 block should be Out of Service. If the A 0 block is not out of service, the A 0 block may interfere with calibration and stabilize/optimize. This interference could cause erratic or incorrect results. If the A 0 block is not Out of Service, the Setup Wizard provides you an opportunity to abort and set the A 0 block out of service.

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. For more information about block modes, see section 4.

Note
The instrument output will not track the input while the A 0 block is Out of Service.
1. Start the Setup Wizard. For information on starting the Setup Wizard from a DeltaV host system, see Appendix G. For information on running methods from other host systems, see the system documentation.

Initial Setup

Changes to the instrument setup may cause the valve to move.

2. The Setup Wizard first checks to see if the transducer block is Out-of-Service. If not, the Setup Wizard warns you that the transducer block will be placed out of service and of the possible results of doing so. Select Yes to continue or select No to abort the Setup Wizard.

If you choose to calibrate the valve, the Setup Wizard starts the Auto Travel Calibrate method. Perform the following steps to automatically calibrate valve travel.
1. If the Feedback Connection is Sliding Stem Standard Feedback, you must set the crossover. Continue to step 2. For all other Feedback Connection selections, there is no user interaction during auto travel calibration. Go to step 5.

crossover. This prompt includes the current travel value and asks you to select the direction and amount the valve should move in order to set the crossover.
4. Select the direction and size of change required to set the feedback arm so it is 90" to the actuator stem, as shown in figure 3-3. Once the feedback arm is in the right position, select Mark Current Position.

2. If the crossover must be set, there are three means of crossover adjustment: Manual (Initial Setup), Use Default (50%), or Use Last Value. Manual is the recommended choice. It permits you to manually set the crossover. If you select manual, continue to step 3.
If you select Use Last Value, no further user interaction is required during the calibration process. Go to step 5. The crossover setting currently stored in the instrument from the last travel calibration is used, followed by a series of actions that will automatically calibrate the instrument. Use this selection if you cannot use manual, such as when you cannot see the valve. If you select Use Default, this also does not require any further user interaction during the calibration process. Go to step 7. A value for the crossover is written to the instrument, followed by a series of actions that will automatically calibrate the instrument. Use this selection only as a last resort. Default assumes a midrange position on the travel sensor as the crossover point. However, this may not be an appropriate value to use for crossover because of variations in mounting and travel sensor calibration. 3. If you selected Manual for the crossover adjustment, the Setup Wizard prompts you to set the

5. From here on the calibration process is automatic. No further interaction is required.

6. When calibration is complete, you are next asked to enter information about the calibration, including who performed the calibration, where was it performed, and the date on which it was performed.
7. After calibration is complete, the Setup Wizard asks if you want to run the Stabilize/Optimize method. If the valve cycles or overshoots, or is unresponsive, select Yes to run the StabilizelOptimize method and improve operation. For additional information, refer to Stabilizing or Optimizing Valve Response in this section. Begin with step 2. If you select No, the Setup Wizard exits. Before exiting, the Setup Wizard asks if you want to return the transducer block mode to Auto, if the transducer block was in the Out-of-Service mode before the method started. Select Yes to change the transducer block mode to Auto. Select No to leave the transducer block in its current mode. Remember to restore the Analog Output (AO) block mode if you changed it to Out of Service before starting the Setup Wizard.

Stabilizing or Optimizing Valve Response
If after completing initial setup and auto calibration the valve cycles or overshoots, or is unresponsive, you can improve operation running the StabilizelOptirnize method. The Stabilize/Optimize (method name Stabilize-Optimize) is included with the device description (DD) software. For information on using methods on the host system, see the host system documentation. Before starting StabilizelOptimize, the A 0 block should be Out of Service. If the A 0 block is not out of service, you will not be able to check response because the method will not be able to adjust the transducer block set point. If the A 0 block is not Out of Service, StabilizelOptimize provides you an opportunity to abort and set the A 0 block out of service.

To Stabilize Valve Operation:


0 Select Standard Decrease to select the next lower tuning set (e.g., F to E ) . If the current tuning set is C, Stabilize/Optimize asks if the tuning set should be changed to Expert to allow you to adjust the gain below the tuning set value. 0 Select Small Decrease to decrease the High Performance Gain by 10% from the current value. StabilizelOptimize recalculates the other tuning parameters based on this gain value.

To Improve Valve Response:


0 Select Standard Increase to select the next higher tuning set (e.g., F to G). If the current tuning set is M, StabilizelOptimize asks if the tuning set should be changed to Expert to allow you to adjust the gain above the tuning set value. 0 Select Small Increase to increase the High Performance Gain by 10% from the current value. StabilizelOptimize recalculates the other tuning parameters based on this gain value.

Note
The instrument output will not track the input while the A 0 block is Out of Service.

3. When you have finished changing the response, select Done with Change Response to once again move the valve and check response.

1. Start the StabilizelOptimize method. For information on starting the StabilizelOptimize method from a DeltaV host system, see Appendix G. For information on running methods from other host systems, see the system documentation.

2. Move the valve open or closed either 10% or 20% to check response. If valve operation i s unsatisfactory, select Change Response then perform one or the other of the following:

4. When valve operation is satisfactory, select Exit StabilizelOptimize to exit the method. Before exiting, the method asks if you want to return the transducer block mode to Auto, if the transducer block was in the Out-of-Service mode before the method started. Select Yes to change the transducer block mode to Auto. Select No to leave the transducer block in its current mode. Remember to restore the Analog Output (AO) block mode if you changed it to Out of Service before starting the StabilizelOptimize method or if you entered this method from the Setup Wizard.

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. 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.
0 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. 0 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.

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. Permitted mode-(subindex 3) The permitted mode defines the modes allowed for the block. This 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.
0

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 host system documentation.

Restarting the Instrument

Restarting the instrument may cause loss o f 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.
0 Restart Resource-Performing a Restart Resource sets the instrument dynamic parameters to their default values. Selecting this action to restart the instrument is not recommended. Use either Restart Processor or Restart with Defaults.
0 Restart Processor-Performing a Restart Processor has the same effect as removing power from the instrument and re-applying power.

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. 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

0 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

Start the Data Protection method. For information on starting the Data Protection from a DeltaV host system, see Appendix G. For information on running methods from other host systems, see the system documentation. 2. The method first initializes the instrument then displays the current protection and prompts for the desired protection as shown in figure 4-1. The * preceding each selection indicates that this item is currently active, therefore, only one column (either Protect or Unprotect) will contain an * for any given row. Thus, an * preceding the Configuration selection in the Unprotect column means data in the Configuration category is not protected. You can select to change the protection on any one data category, or you can select to Protect All or Unprotect All. Selecting Set Default protects data in the Tuning, Mechanical, and Tuning categories, but leaves the Configuration data unprotected.

Changes to the tuning can result in valvelactuator instability.

The following parameters adjust the instrument tuning. Tuning consists of adjusting the high performance values and the standard values. Normally the instrument uses the high performance values. However, should the pressure sensor fail, the unit can continue to operate using the standard gain and rate values if the standard gain is not equal to 0. You can use the Setup Wizard or the Stabilize/ Optimize Tuning method to adjust tuning using tuning sets. See Section 3 Initial Setup for more information on the Setup Wizard and the Stabilize/Optimize Tuning method. Table 4-7 lists the tuning values for the various tuning sets.

Label: Standard Gain Parameter Name: SERVO-STD-GAIN Index Number: 61 subindex 1 Mode: All Range: 0.1 to 10 Description: This parameter value is the standard gain. This is the gain of the instrument if the pressure sensor fails. Label: Standard Tvl Rate Parameter Name: SERVO-STD- RATE Index Number: 61 subindex 2 Mode: All Range: 5 to 20 Description: This parameter value is the standard travel rate.

Label: High Perf Gain Parameter Name: SERVO-GAIN Index Number: 18 Mode: All Range: 0 or 0.1 to 20 Description: This parameter value is the high performance gain. This is the normal gain value used by the instrument.

Input Characterization
With input characterization you can modify the overall characteristic of the valve and instrument combination. Selecting an equal percentage, quick opening, square root, or custom input characteristic modifies the overall valve and instrument characteristic. If you select the linear input characteristic, the overall valve and instrument characteristic is the characteristic of the valve, which is determined by the valve trim (i.e., the plug or cage). Figure 4-3 shows the four fixed characteristics available: linear, equal percentage, quick opening, or square root. Table 4-8 lists the values for these characteristics. The Input Characterization method is available to help you set the instrument input characterization, including defining the custom characterization array. The Input Characterization method (method name Input-Characterization) is included with the device description (DD) software. For information on using methods on the host system, see the host system documentation.

Label: High Perf Tvl Rate Parameter Name: SERVO-RATE Index Number: 20 Mode: All Range: 0 or 5 to 25 Description: This parameter value is the high performance travel rate. This is the normal travel rate feedback used by the instrument.

1. Start the Input Characterization. The method warns you the valve will move and that there may be a loss of process control. Select Yes to continue or select No to abort Input Characterization. 2. Once the instrument is initialized, Input Characterization prompts you to select the characterization type. You can select one of the predefined characterization types (linear, equal percentage, quick opening, or square root) or you can define a custom characterization. Select Custom Characterization Type to set a baseline for the array or to edit the array. Custom characterization permits you to specify 49 points on a custom characteristic curve. Each point defines a travel target in percent of travel for a corresponding input, also in percent of travel. Input values range from -25% to 125% in 3.125% increments. You can begin your custom characteristic by selecting one of the predefined characterization types as a baseline for the array. Then select Edit the Array to edit each of the 49 points. If you select Edit Custom Characterization Array, Input Characterization checks the current characteristic type. If the current characteristic is not custom, Input Characterization asks if you want to change the input characterization to custom. Select Yes, to change the Characterization Type to Custom and select a baseline array or edit the array. Select No, to leave the Characterization Type unchanged. 3. If you selected Custom Characterization Type, 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. If you select Save Array, Input Characterization saves the array to the instrument and returns to step 2. Except for Set Baseline to a Constant Value, if you select Set Baseline..., Input Characterization initializes the array to the specified baseline. If you select Set Baseline to a Constant Value, Input Characterization asks you for the value to be used. The value entered must be between -25% and +125%.
4. If you selected Edit the Array in step 3, Input Characterization prompts you for the values to be used for each of the 49 points. You need not specify a value for each point. However, the value of each succeeding point must be greater than the value of the

Figure 4 2 . Pem:Ssible Custom Characterization Curves

preceeding point (i.e. no loops in the curve or backward bending curve, see figure 4-2) 5. When you are done editing the array, enter a value of 99 for the index number. 6. Input Characterization then asks if you want to save the array. Select Yes to save the array to the instrument, or select No to continue editing the array.

Parameters Modified by the Input Characterization Method


The following parameters are modified by the Input Characterization method: Label: Input Char. Parameter Name: FLOW-CHARACT Index Number: 53 Mode: Out of Service Range: Linear (0), Equal Yo ( I ) , Quick opening (Z), Square root (3), or Custom (4) Description: Defines the relationship between the ranged travel and ranged input. You can select from the fixed input characteristics shown in Figure 4-3 or you can define a custom characteristic. Figure 4-3 plots the characterized output values for each index number for the fixed input characteristics. Table 4-8 lists the values used to define the fixed input characteristics. Label: Custom Char. Parameter Name: USER-CHAR Index Number: 54 index 1 through 49 Mode: Out of Service Range: -25.00 to 125.00% The value entered for an index number cannot be less than the value entered for a lower index number. (The curve cannot loop upon itself.) Description: User defined flow characterization array for valve profile.

Calibrating Travel
service, you will not be able to calibrate the instrument because Auto Travel Calibration will not be able to change the transducer block set point. If the A 0 block is not Out of Service, the method provides you an opportunity to abort and set the A 0 block out of service.

During calibration, the valve may move. 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.

1. Start Auto Travel Calibration. For information on starting calibration methods from a DeltaV host system, see Appendix G. For information on running methods from other host systems, see the system documentation. 2. Auto Travel Calibration warns you the valve will move and that there may be a loss of process control. Select Yes to continue or select No to abort Auto Travel Calibration.
3. Auto Travel Calibration next initializes the instrument. After initialization, if the Feedback Connection is Sliding Stem - Standard Feedback, Auto Travel Calibration prompts you to set the crossover. For all other Feedback Connections, Auto Travel Calibration skips to step 7. For details of the Feedback Connection parameter see the Detailed Setup section
4. If the crossover must be set, there are three means of crossover adjustment: Manual (Initial Setup), Use Default (50%), or Use Last Value. Manual is the recommended choice. It permits you to manually set the crossover. If you select manual, continue to step 5.

Note

The A 0 block mode must be Out of Service to be able to Calibrate Travel.

The A 0 block mode can be set to Out of Service by setting the Resource block mode to Out of Service. However, setting the Resource block to Out of Service also sets all function blocks within the device to Out of Service, including the PID block. If the PID block is used to control another loop, be sure some other means are provided to control the loop before taking the block Out of Service.

Automatic Travel Calibration


When a DVC5000f Series digital valve controller is ordered as part of a control valve assembly, the factory mounts the digital valve controller on the actuator, connects the feedback linkage, connects the necessary tubing, then sets up and calibrates the digital valve controller as specified on the order. You can calibrate the instrument travel automatically using the Auto Travel Calibration method. The Auto Travel Calibration 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 Travel Calibration method to automatically calibrate instrument travel, see the host system documentation. Before starting Auto Travel Calibration, the A 0 block should be Out of Service. If the A 0 block is not out of

If you select Use Last Value, no further user interaction is required during the calibration process. Go to step 7. The crossover setting currently stored in the instrument from the last travel calibration is used, followed by a series of actions that will automatically calibrate the instrument. Use this selection if you cannot use manual, such as when you cannot see the valve.

If you select Use Default, this also does not require any further user interaction during the calibration process. Go to step 7. A value for the crossover is written to the instrument, followed by a series of actions that will automatically calibrate the instrument. Use this selection only as a last resort. Default assumes a midrange position on the travel sensor as the crossover point. However, this may not be an appropriate value to use for crossover because of variations in mounting and travel sensor calibration.
5. If you selected Manual for the crossover adjustment, Auto Travel Calibration prompts you to set the crossover. This prompt includes the current travel value and asks you to select the direction and amount the valve should move in order to set the crossover.

Calibration
Before starting Manual Calibration, the A 0 block should be Out of Service. If the A 0 block is not out of service, you will not be able to calibrate the instrument because Manual Calibration will not be able to change the transducer block set point. If the A 0 block is not Out of Service, the method provides you an opportunity to abort and set the A 0 block out of service.
1. Start Manual Calibration. For information on starting calibration methods from a DeltaV host system, see Appendix G. For information on running methods from other host systems, see the system documentation.

2. Manual Calibration warns you the valve will move and that there may be a loss of process control. Select Yes to continue or select No to abort Manual Calibration.

6. Select the direction and size of change required to set the feedback arm so it is 90 to the actuator stem, as shown in figure 5-1. Once the feedback arm is in the right position, select Mark Current Position.
7. From here on the calibration process is automatic. No further interaction is required. 8. When calibration is complete, you are next asked to enter information about the calibration, including who performed the calibration, where it was performed, and the date on which it was performed. 9. Before exiting, Auto Travel Calibration asks if you want to return the transducer block mode to Auto, if the transducer block was in the Out-of-Service mode before the method started. Select Yes to change the transducer block mode to Auto. Select No to leave the transducer block in its current mode. Remember to restore the Analog Output (AO) block mode if you changed it to Out of Service before starting Auto Travel Calibration. This is the end of the Auto Travel Calibration method.

3. Manual Calibration next initializes the instrument. After initialization, if the Feedback Connection is Sliding Stem - Standard Feedback, Manual Calibration prompts you to set the crossover. For all other Feedback Connections Manual Calibration skips to step 5. For details of the Feedback Connection parameter see the Detailed Setup section
4. If the crossover must be set, there are three means of crossover adjustment: Manual (Initial Setup), Use Default (50%), or Use Last Value. Manual is the recommended choice. It permits you to manually set the crossover.

If you select Use Last Value the crossover setting currently stored in the instrument from the last travel calibration is used, followed by a series of actions that will automatically calibrate the instrument. Use this selection if you cannot use manual, such as when you cannot see the valve. If you select Use Default a value for the crossover is written to the instrument, followed by a series of actions that will automatically calibrate the instrument. Use this selection only as a last resort. Default assumes a midrange position on the travel sensor as the crossover point. However, this may not be an appropriate value to use for crossover because of variations in mounting and travel sensor calibration.

Manual Travel Calibration


You can calibrate the instrument travel manually using the Manual Calibration method. The Manual Calibration method (method name Man-Calibrate) is included with the device description (DD) software. For information on using methods on the host system and the Manual Calibration method to manually calibrate instrument travel, see the host system documentation.
September 2000

5. Manual Calibration first commands the instrument to mark end points of travel. You must acknowledge each message to continue. If the Feedback Connection is not Sliding Stem - Standard Feedback, go to step 8. If the Feedback Connection is Sliding Stem - Standard Feedback, and if you selected Manual for the crossover, continue to step 6. If you selected Use Last Value or Use Default, go to step 8.

6. If you selected Manual for the crossover adjustment, Manual Calibration prompts you to set the crossover. This prompt includes the current travel value and asks you to select the direction and amount the valve should move in order to set the crossover.
7. Select the direction and size of change required to set the feedback arm so it is 90" to the actuator stem, as shown in figure 5-1. Once the feedback arm is in the right position, select Mark Current Position. 8. Select the direction and size of change required to set the travel at the closed end point. When the valve is at is full closed position, select Mark Current Position. 9. Select the direction and size of change required to set the travel at the open end point. When the valve is at is full open position, select Mark Current Position. An external gauge to measure the digital valve controller output is required to calibrate the pressure sensor. This gauge is referred to as the reference gauge in the following procedure. The instrument output gauge may be used as the reference gauge.

Note

The A 0 block mode must be Out of Service to be able to run the Pressure Sensor Cal method.

10. From here on the calibration process is automatic. No further interaction is required.
11. When calibration is complete, you are next asked to enter information about the calibration, including who performed the calibration, where it was performed, and the date on which it was performed. 12. Before exiting, Manual Calibration asks if you want to return the transducer block mode to Auto, if the transducer block was in the Out-of-Service mode before the method started. Select Yes to change the transducer block mode to Auto. Select No to leave the transducer block in its current mode. Remember to restore the Analog Output (AO) block mode if you changed it to Out of Service before starting Manual Calibration. This is the end of the Manual Calibration method.

The A 0 block mode can be set to Out of Service by setting the Resource block mode to Out of Service. However, setting the Resource block to Out of Service also sets all function blocks within the device to Out of Service, including the PID block. If the PID block is used to control another loop, be sure some other means are provided to control the loop before taking the block Out of Service.

Calibrating the Pressure Sensor

Before starting Pressure Sensor Cal, the A 0 block should be Out of Service. If the A 0 block is not out of service, you will not be able to calibrate the instrument because Pressure Sensor Cal will not be able to change the transducer block set point. If the A 0 block is not Out of Service, the method provides you an opportunity to abort and set the A 0 block out of service.

Note
The pressure sensor is normally adjusted at the factory and should not require adjustment.

The DVC5000f Series digital valve controllers use t h e 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:
0

0 reduced loading on control room equipment due to possible distribution of some control and inputloutput functions to field devices 0 speed options for process control and manufacturing applications.

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

In addition, the FOUNDATION fieldbus enables:

0 reduced wiring and wire terminations due to multiple devices on one pair of wires 0 increased selection of suppliers due to interoperability

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.

Note
If the feedback arm (key 79) or feedback arm assembly (key 84) is removed from the DVC5000f Series digital valve controller, the travel sensor (key 77) must be recalibrated.

0 Move Open or Move Closed-adjusts the current set point by the amount indicated (+/- 10%) up to the maximum or minimum allowed. 0 Go to...-sets the current set point to the value indicated (5%, 50%, or 95% of travel). 0 Change Set Point-changes set point to specified value.

Because of the diagnostic capability of the DVC5000f Series digital valve controllers, predictive maintenance is available through the use of AMS ValveLink Software. Using the digital valve controller, valve and instrument maintenance can be enhanced, thus avoiding unnecessary maintenance. For information on using the ValveLink software, see the AMS VL2000 Series ValveLink Software User Guide.

0 Refresh Display-refreshes the current values for the set point and travel as the valve moves. Because the valve moves slower than the method executes, use refresh display to update the actual valve travel. 0 Exit Stroke Valve-Select this if you are done. This is the end of the Stroke Valve method.

Stroking the Digital Valve Controller output


Using the Stroke Valve Method
You can remotely stroke the digital valve controller output from a host system using the Stroke Valve method. The Stroke Valve method (method name Stroke-Valve) is included with the device description (DD) software. For information on using methods on the host system and the Stroke Valve method to remotely stroke the instrument output, see the host system documentation.

Instrument Troubleshooting

Note
The A 0 block mode must be Out of Service to be able t o run Stroke Valve.

Before starting Stroke Valve, the A 0 block should be Out of Service. If the A 0 block is not out of service, you will not be able stroke the valve because Stroke Valve will not be able to change the transducer block set point. If the A 0 block is not Out of Service, the method provides you an opportunity to abort and set the A 0 block out of service.

13. If the travel sensor count is not within the displayed range, Cal Tvl Sensor permits you to correct the adjustment or exit.

14. Before exiting, Cal Tvl Sensor instructs you to reinstall the instrument, connect the air supply, and recalibrate the travel. 15. Also before exiting, Cal Tvl Sensor asks if you want to return the transducer block mode to Auto, if

the transducer block was in the Out-of-Service mode before the method started. Select Yes to change the transducer block mode to Auto. Select No to leave the transducer block in its current mode. Remember to restore the Analog Output (AO) block mode if you changed it to Out of Service before starting Cal Tvl Sensor. This is the end of the Cal Tvl Sensor method.

Function Block Overview

Appendix A FOUNDATION Fieldbus Technology and Fieldbus Function Blocks


Overview
This appendix introduces fieldbus systems that are common to all fieldbus devices. also defined a standard set of function block classes, such as input, output, control, and calculation blocks. Each of these classes also has a small set of parameters established for it. They have also published definitions for transducer blocks commonly used with standard function blocks. Examples include temperature, pressure, level, and flow transducer blocks. The FOUNDATION specifications and definitions allow vendors to add their own parameters by importing and subclassing specified classes. This approach permits extending function block definitions as new requirements are discovered and as technology advances. Figure A-I illustrates the internal structure of a function block. When execution begins, input parameter values from other blocks are snapped-in by the block. The input snap process ensures that these values do not change during the block execution. New values received for these parameters do not affect the snapped values and will not be used by the function block during the current execution. Once the inputs are snapped, the algorithm operates on them, generating outputs as it progresses. Algorithm executions are controlled through the setting of contained parameters. Contained parameters are internal to function blocks and do not appear as normal input and output parameters. However, they may be accessed and modified remotely, as specified by the function block. Input events may affect the operation of the algorithm. An execution control function regulates the receipt of input events and the generation of output events during execution of the algorithm. Upon completion of the algorithm, the data internal to the block is saved for use in the next execution, and the output data is snapped, releasing it for use by other function blocks. A block is a tagged logical processing unit. The tag is the name of the block. System management services locate a block by its tag. Thus the service personnel need only know the tag of the block to access or change the appropriate block parameters.

Introduction
A fieldbus system is a distributed system composed of field devices and control and monitoring equipment integrated into the physical environment of a plant or factory. Fieldbus devices work together to provide I/O and control for automated processes and operations. The Fieldbus Foundation provides a framework for describing these systems as a collection of physical devices interconnected by a fieldbus network. One of the ways that the physical devices are used is to perform their portion of the total system operation by implementing one or more function blocks.

Function Blocks
Function blocks within the fieldbus device perform the various functions required for process control. Because each system is different, the mix and configuration of functions are different. Therefore, the Fieldbus Foundation has designed a range of function blocks, each addressing a different need. Function blocks perform process control functions, such as analog input (Al) and analog output (AO) functions as well as proportional-integral- derivative (PID) functions. The standard function blocks provide a common structure for defining function block inputs, outputs, control parameters, events, alarms, and modes, and combining them into a process that can be implemented within a single device or over the fieldbus network. This simplifies the identification of characteristics that are common to function blocks. The Fieldbus Foundation has established the function blocks by defining a small set of parameters used in all function blocks called universal parameters. The

Function blocks are also capable of performing short-term data collection and storage for reviewing their behavior.

BLOCK OPERATION
In addition to function blocks, fieldbus devices contain two other block types to support the function blocks. These are the resource block and the transducer block. The resource block contains the hardware specific characteristics associated with a device. Transducer blocks couple the function blocks to local inpuffoutput functions.

Device Descriptions
Device Descriptions are specified definitions that are associated with the function blocks. Device descriptions provide for the definition and description of the function blocks and their parameters. To promote consistency of definition and understanding, descriptive information, such as data type and length, is maintained in the device description. Device Descriptions are written using an open language called the Device Description Language (DDL). Parameter transfers between function blocks can be easily verified because all parameters are described using the same language. Once written, the device description can be stored on an external medium, such as a CD-ROM or diskette. Users can then read the device description from the external medium. The use of an open language in the device description permits interoperability of function blocks within devices from various vendors. Additionally, human interface devices, such as operator consoles and computers, do not have to be programmed specifically for each type of device on the bus. Instead their displays and interactions with devices are driven from the device descriptions. Device descriptions may also include a set of processing routines called methods. Methods provide a procedure for accessing and manipulating parameters within a device, such as for setup and calibration.

Instrument-Specific Function Blocks


Resource Blocks
The resource block contains the hardware specific characteristics associated with a device; it has no input or output parameters. The algorithm within a resource block monitors and controls the general operation of the physical device hardware. The execution of this algorithm is dependent on the characteristics of the physical device, as defined by the manufacturer. As a result of this activity, the algorithm may cause the generation of events. There is only one resource block defined for a device. For example, when the mode of the resource block is Out of Service, it impacts all function blocks.

Transducer Blocks
Transducer blocks connect function blocks to local inpuffoutput functions. They read sensor hardware and write to effector (actuator) hardware. This permits the transducer block to execute as frequently as necessary to obtain good data from sensors and ensure proper writes to the actuator without burdening the function blocks that use the data. The transducer block also isolates the function block from the specific characteristics of the physical I/O.

Alerts
When an alert occurs, execution control sends an event notification and waits a specified period of time for an acknowledgment to be received. This occurs even if the condition that caused the alert no longer exists. If the acknowledgment is not received within the pre-specified time-out period, the event notification is retransmitted. This assures that alert messages are not lost. Two types of alerts are defined for the block, events and alarms. Events are used to report a status change when a block leaves a particular state, such as when a parameter crosses a threshold. Alarms not only report a status change when a block leaves a particular state, but also report when it returns back to that state.

execution with the data transfers scheduled by the LAS.


0 polls devices for process loop data at scheduled transmission times. 0 distributes a priority-driven token to devices between scheduled transmissions.

The digital valve controller does not include an LAS However, not having an LAS does not affect device operation. Only one device can communicate at a time. Permission to communicate on the bus is controlled by a centralized token passed between devices by the LAS. Only the device with the token can communicate. The LAS maintains a list of all devices that need access to the bus. This list is called the Live List. Two types of tokens are used by the LAS. A time-critical token, compel data (CD), is sent by the LAS according to a schedule. A non-time critical token, pass token (PT), is sent by the LAS to each device in numerical order according to address.

NETWORK COMMUNICATION
Figure A-2 illustrates a simple fieldbus network consisting of a single segment (link).

Device Addressing Link Active Scheduler (LAS)


All links have one and only one Link Active Scheduler (LAS). The LAS operates as the bus arbiter for the link. The LAS does the following:
0

recognizes and adds new devices to the link. removes non-responsive devices from the link.

0 distributes Data Link (DL) and Link Scheduling (LS) time on the link. Data Link Time is a network-wide time periodically distributed by the LAS to synchronize all device clocks on the bus. Link Scheduling time is a link-specific time represented as an offset from Data Link Time. It is used to indicate when the LAS on each link begins and repeats its schedule. It is used by system management to synchronize function block

Fieldbus uses addresses between 0 and 255. Addresses 0 through 15 are reserved for group addressing and for use by the data link layer. If there are two or more devices with the same address, the first device to start will use its programmed address. Each of the other devices will be given one of four temporary addresses between 248 and 251. If a temporary address is not available, the device will be unavailable until a temporary address becomes available.

Sc heduled Transfers
Information is transferred between devices over the fieldbus using three different types of reporting.
0 Publisher/Subscriber: This type of reporting is used to transfer critical process loop data, such as the

process variable. The data producers (publishers) post the data in a buffer that is transmitted to the subscriber (S), when the publisher receives the Compel Data (CD) message from the LAS. The buffer contains only one copy of the data. New data completely overwrites previous data. Updates to published data are transferred simultaneously to all subscribers in a single broadcast. Transfers of this type can be scheduled on a precisely periodic basis.
0 Report Distribution: This type of reporting is used to broadcast and multicast event and trend reports. The destination address may be predefined so that all reports are sent to the same address, or it may be provided separately with each report. Transfers of this type are queued. They are delivered to the receivers in the order transmitted, although there may be gaps due to corrupted transfers. These transfers are unscheduled and occur in between scheduled transfers at a given priority. 0 ClienffServer: This type of reporting is used for request/ response exchanges between pairs of devices. Like Report Distribution reporting, the transfers are queued, unscheduled, and prioritized. Queued means the messages are sent and received in the order submitted for transmission, according to their priority, without overwriting previous messages. However, unlike Report Distribution, these transfers are flow controlled and employ a retransmission procedure to recover from corrupted transfers.

Figure A-3 diagrams the method of scheduled data transfer. Scheduled data transfers are typically used for the regular cyclic transfer of process loop data between devices on the fieldbus. Scheduled transfers use publisher/subscriber type of reporting for data transfer. The Link Active Scheduler maintains a list of transmit times for all publishers in all devices that need to be cyclically transmitted. When it is time for a device to publish data, the LAS issues a Compel Data (CD) message to the device. Upon receipt of the CD, the device broadcasts or "publishes" the data to all devices on the fieldbus. Any device that is configured to receive the data is called a "subscriber."

Unscheduled Transfers
Figure A-4 diagrams an unscheduled transfer. Unscheduled transfers are used for things like user-initiated changes, including set point changes, mode changes, tuning changes, and upload/download. Unscheduled transfers use either report distribution or clientkerver type of reporting for transferring data. All of the devices on the fieldbus are given a chance to send unscheduled messages between transmissions of scheduled data. The LAS grants permission to a device to use the fieldbus by issuing a pass token (PT) message to the device. When the device receives the PT, it is allowed to send messages until it has finished or until the "maximum token hold time" has expired, whichever is the shorter time. The message may be sent to a single destination or to multiple destinations.

Function Block Scheduling
Figure A-5 shows an example of a link schedule. A single iteration of the link-wide schedule is called the macrocycle. When the system is configured and the function blocks are linked, a master link-wide schedule is created for the LAS. Each device maintains its portion of the link-wide schedule, known as the Function Block Schedule. The Function Block Schedule indicates when the function blocks for the device are to be executed. The scheduled execution time for each function block is represented as an offset from the beginning of the macrocycle start time.
To support synchronization of schedules, periodically s distributed. The beginning Link Scheduling (LS) time i of the macrocycle represents a common starting time for all Function Block schedules on a link and for the LAS link-wide schedule. This permits function block executions and their corresponding data transfers to be synchronized in time.

The OUT attribute or an analog readback value, such as valve position, is shown by the process value (PV) attribute in engineering units. To support testing, you can enable simulation, which allows you to manually set the channel feedback. There is no alarm detection in the A 0 function block. To select the manner of processing the SP and the channel output value configure the setpoint limiting options, the tracking options, and the conversion and status calculations.

OUT READBACK = Actual valve posltion.

Figure 13-1. Analog Output (AO) Function Block

The Analog Output (AO) function block assigns an output value to a field device through a specified 110 channel. The block supports mode control, signal status calculation, and simulation. Figure B-2 illustrates the internal components of the A 0 function block, and table B-I lists the definitions of the block parameters. The digital valve controller measures and uses actual valve position for READBACK.

Set Point Selection and Limiting


To select the source of the SP value use the MODE attribute. In Automatic (Auto) mode, the local, manually-entered SP is used. In Cascade (Cas) mode, the SP comes from another block through the CAS-IN input connector. In Remotecascade (RCas) mode, the SP comes from a host computer that writes to RCAS-IN, The range and units of the sp are defined by the PV-SCALE attribute. In Manual (Man) mode the SP automatically tracks the PV value when you select the SP-PV Track in Man I/O option. The SP value is set equal to the PV value when the block is in manual mode, and is enabled (True) as a default. You can disable this option in Man or O/S mode only. The SP value is limited to the range defined by the setpoint high limit attribute (SP-HI-LIM) and the setpoint low limit attribute (SP-LO-LIM). In Auto mode, the rate at which a change in the SP is passed to OUT is limited by the values of the setpoint upward rate limit attribute (SP-RATE-UP) and the setpoint downward rate limit attribute (SP-RATE-DN). A limit of zero disabless rate limiting, even in Auto mode.

Setting the Output


To set the output for the A 0 block, you must first set the mode to define the manner in which the block determines its setpoint. In Manual mode the value of the output attribute (OUT) must be set manually by the user, and is independent of the setpoint. In Automatic mode, OUT is set automatically based on the value specified by the set point (SP) in engineering units and the 110 options attribute (10-OPTS). In addition, you can limit the SP value and the rate at which a change in the SP is passed to OUT. In Cascade mode, the cascade input connection (CAS-IN) is used to update the SP. The back calculation output (BKCAL-OUT) is wired to the back

Parameter Name Index Number Units None None Description This alert is generated by any changes to static data. The high and low scale values and engineering units code are read only. This parameter determines the number of digits to the right of the decimal point used with the value obtained from the transducer for a specified channel.

In Auto mode, the converted SP value is stored in the OUT attribute. In Man mode, the OUT attribute is set manually, and is used to set the analog output defined by the CHANNEL parameter. You can access the actuator position associated with the output channel through the READBACK parameter (in OUT units) and in the PV attribute (in engineering units). The digital valve controller supports position feedback and therefore provides the actual valve position in PV and READBACK directly. If the actuator does not support position feedback, the PV and READBACK values are based on the OUT attribute.

I/O Options
The I/O options parameter (10-OPTS) allows you to select how the I/O signals are processed. You can set I/O options in Manual or Out of Service mode only. The following I/O options are available in the A 0 block: Use PV for BKCAL-OUT-Changes the BKCAL-OUT value to the PV value. When the Use PV for BKCAL-OUT option is not enabled (False), the BKCAL-OUT value is the working setpoint value. Target t o Man if Fault State Activated-Set the target mode to Man, thus losing the original target, if Fault State is activated. This latches an output block into the manual mode. Use Fault State value o n Restart-Use the value of FSTATE-VAL for SP when power is restored of if the device is restarted, otherwise use the last value saved in non-volatile memory. This does not act like Fault State, it only uses the value of FSTATE-VAL. Fault State to Value-The output action to take when a fault occurs (if not selected, use hold last value; if selected, use FSTATE-VAL). Increase t o Close-Indicates whether or not the output value is inverted before it is communicated to the I/O channel. Note: in the digital valve controller the transducer block automatically accounts for Increase to Close/lncrease to Open valve action during calibration, therefore this parameter may only be set to disabled. SP-PV Track in LO or IMan-Permits the SP to track the PV when the actual mode of the block is LO or IMan. SP-PV Track in Man takes precedence over SP-PV Track in LO or IMan. SP-PV Track in Man must be enabled in order for SP-PV Track in LO or lMan to track when target mode is MAN. SP-PV Track i n Man-Permits the SP to track the PV when the block target mode is Man. SP Track retained Target-Causes the set point to track the RCAS or CAS parameter based on the retained target mode when the actual mode is MAN or LO.

Simulation
When simulation is enabled, the last value of OUT is maintained and reflected in the field value of the SIMULATE attribute. In this case, the PV and READBACK values and statuses are based on the SIMULATE value and the status that you enter.

Action On Fault Detection


To define the state to which you wish the valve to enter when the block is in CAS mode, and the CAS-IN input detects a bad status, configure the following parameters: 10-OPTS: Determines the action OUT will take upon a fault state. If the 10-OPTS Fault State to Value is not selected, then OUT holds its last position when Fault State is set. If Fault State to Value is selected, OUT goes to the FSTATE-VAL value when Fault State is set. FSTATE-TIME: The length of time, in seconds, that the A 0 block will wait to set Fault State. When Fault State is set, the OUT value goes to either the FSTATE-VAL value or holds its last position, depending on I/O-OPTS. When the block has a target mode of CAS, a fault condition will be detected if the CAS-IN has a BAD status or an Initiate Fault State substatus is received from the upstream block. FSTATE-VAL: Determines the OUT value if 10-OPTS Fault State to Value is selected. The OUT value transitions to FSTATE-VAL after FSTATE-TIME elapses and the fault condition has not cleared.

Block Errors
Table B-2 lists conditions reported in the BLOCK-ERR parameter. Conditions in italics are not applicable for the A 0 block and are provided only for your reference.

Condition Name and Description
0 Initialization Manual (1man)-The path to the output hardware is broken and the A 0 block output will remain at the last position. This means the transducer block mode is Out of Service. 0 Local Override (LO)-The output of the block is not responding to OUT because the fault state action is active.

Otber(N/A) Block Configuration Error - SHED-OPT set to 0 Link Configuration Error (NIA) Simulate active - Simulation is enabled and the block is using a simulated value in its execution. Local Override - Device in fault state. Actual mode LO. Device Fault State Set - A 0 block in fault state after FSTATE-TIME because of Bad status or IFS substatus on CAS-IN or Resource block commanded fault state. Device Needs Maintenance Soon (NIA) Input failurelprocess variable has Bad status - PV has bad status and Feature Select in the Resource block has the Out Readback bit set.

Shed Options
Shed from or climb to a remote mode is determined by the parameter SHED-OPT. A block climbs and sheds through the same path. For example, if SHED-OPT specifies that a block should shed to Auto, then, if the block target mode is set to RCas, the block goes through Auto on the way to RCas. You can configure the shed option as follows:

Shed With Return Options

Modes
The Analog Output function block supports the following modes:
0 Manual (Man)-You can manually set the output to the 110 channel through the OUT attribute. This mode is used primarily for maintenance and troubleshooting. 0 Automatic (Auto)-The block output (OUT) reflects the target operating point specified by the setpoint (SP) attribute. 0 Cascade (Cas)-The SP attribute is set by another function block through a connection to CAS-IN. The SP value is used to set the OUT attribute automatically. This is the most frequently used mode in the digital valve controller.
0 Remotecascade (RCas)-The SP is set by a host computer by writing to the RCAS-IN parameter The SP value is used to set the OUT attribute automatically.

Remote cascade connection failure shifts actual mode but keeps trying to restore remote cascade (in other words, the remote cascade target mode stays in effect). Normal-On failure of a remote cascade connection, the block attempts to attain the highest permitted non-remote mode until remote cascade is restored. On change to remote cascade target mode from any other mode, the block attempts to attain the highest permitted non-remote mode until a remote cascade connection is established. Retained Target-On failure of a remote cascade connection, the block attempts to attain the mode retained in the target mode. On change to the remote cascade target mode from any other mode, the block attempts to attain the mode retained by target mode until a remote cascade connection is established. Auto-On failure of a remote cascade connection, the block attempts to attain Auto, if permitted, until remote cascade is restored. On change to remote target mode from any other mode, the block attempts to attain Auto, if permitted, until a remote cascade connection is established. Man-On failure of a remote cascade connection, the block sheds to Man until a remote cascade connection is restored. On change to remote target mode, from any other mode, the block goes to Man until a cascade connection is established.

Out of Service (0IS)-The block is not processed. The output channel is maintained at the last value and the status of OUT is set to Bad: Out of Service. The BLOCK-ERR attribute shows Out of Service.

DVC5000f Series
Shed With No Return Options
For any shed with no return option, the target mode changes as determined by the option. Therefore, there is no attempt to restore the connection following failure. The behavior on change to the remote cascade target mode is identical to that for Shed With Return Options. Normal-On failure of a remote cascade connection, the block sets the target mode to the highest permitted non-remote mode. On change to a remote cascade target mode from any other mode, the block attempts to attain the highest permitted non-remote mode until a remote cascade connection is established. Retained Target-On failure of a remote cascade connection, the block sets the target mode to mode retained in target mode. On change to the remote cascade target mode from any other mode, the block attempts to attain the mode retained by target mode until a remote cascade connection is established. The DeltaV system does not support the retained target shed. Selecting the retained target results in shed to Auto. This applies to any block, regardless of whether it is in a field device or a DeltaV controller. The writing device sets or clears the retained target bits in the target mode. Therefore, any workstation or other device (DeltaV controller applications, for example) that does not support retained target operation ignores the retained target bits. In a DeltaV system, regardless of where the block is located, the retained target bits are turned off, and the block sheds to Auto. Auto-On failure of a remote cascade connection, the block sets the target mode to Auto, if permitted. On change to the remote target mode from any other mode, the block attempts to attain Auto, if permitted, until a remote cascade connection is established. Man-On failure of remote cascade connection, the block sets the target mode to Man, if permitted. On change to the remote target mode from any other mode, the block goes to Man until a cascade connection is established. The user may configure SHED-OPT so that it calls for a target mode that is not permitted. When doing this, the mode logic uses the following rules as applied by the remote logic:
0 Shed logic never results in a non-permitted target mode. 0 Shed logic never attempts to attain an actual mode of Auto or Cas if that mode is not permitted.

Status Handling
Output or readback fault detection is reflected in the status of PV, OUT, and BKCAL-OUT. A limited SP condition is reflected in the BKCAL-OUT status. When simulation is enabled through the SIMULATE attribute, you can set the value and status for PV and READBACK. When the block is in Cas mode and the CAS-IN input goes bad, the block sheds mode to the next permitted mode.

Application Information
The configuration of an A 0 function block and its associated output channels depends on the specific application. A typical configuration for the Analog Output involves the following attributes: PV- SCALE Set the range and engineering units to values that correspond to the operation range. For the digital valve controller, PV-SCALE is typically set between 0 and 100%. If you are using the CAS-IN connector wired from another block, wire the BKCAL-OUT attribute to the other blocks BKCAL-IN attribute. Set the type of tracking and action upon fault state. Note: the digital valve controller does not use the Increase to Close 1 0 option. The valve action is determined by the transducer block during calibration. Set the action to be taken when the set point or output are not updated in a remote mode.

The PID function block combines all of the necessary logic to perform proportionaMntegrallderivative (PID) control. The block supports mode control, signalscaling and limiting, feedforward control, override tracking, alarm limit detection, and signal status propagation. The block supports two forms of the PID equation: Standard and Series. You can choose the appropriate equation using the FORM parameter. The Standard ISA PID equation is the default selection.

Set Point Selection and Limiting


The set point of the PID block is determined by the mode. Figure C-3 illustrates the method for set point selection. You can configure the SP-HI-LIM and SP-LO-LIM parameters to limit the set point. In Cascade or Remote Cascade mode, the set point is adjusted by another function block or by a host computer, and the output is computed based on the set point. In Automatic mode, the set point is entered manually operator, and the output is computed based on set point. In Auto mode, you can also adjust the set point limit and the set point rate of change using the SP-RATE-UP and SP-RATE-DN parameters. In Manual mode the output is entered manually by the operator, and is independent of the set point. In Remote Output mode, the output is entered by a host computer, and is independent of the set point.

Output tracking is enabled through the control options. You can set control options in Manual or Out of Service mode only. The Track Enable control option must be set to True for the track function to operate. When the Track in Manual control option is set to True, the operator cannot override the tracking function in Manual mode. When Track in Manual is False, the operator can override the tracking function when the block is in Manual mode. Activating the track function causes the blocks actual mode to revert to Local Override. The TRK-VAL parameter specifies the value to be converted and tracked into the output when the track function is operating. The TRK-SCALE parameter specifies the range of TRK-VAL. When the TRK-IN-D parameter is True and the Track Enable control option is True, the TRK-VAL input is converted to the appropriate value and output in units of OUT-SCALE.

Set Point Tracking


You can configure the method for tracking the set point by configuring the following control options (CONTROL-OPTS):
0 SP-PV Track i n Man-Permits the SP to track the PV when the actual mode of the block is Man.

0 SP-PV Track in LO or IMan-Permits the SP to track the PV when the actual mode of the block is Local Override (LO) or Initialization Manual (IMan).

0 SP-PV Track in ROUT-Permits the SP to track the PV when the actual mode of the block is Remoteout (ROUT).

When one of these options is set, the SP value is set to the PV value while in the specified mode. You can select the value that a master controller uses for tracking by configuring the Use PV for BKCAL-OUT control option. The BKCAL-OUT value tracks the PV value. BKCAL-IN on a master controller connected to BKCAL-OUT on the PID block in an open cascade strategy forces its OUT to match BKCAL-IN, thus tracking the PV from the slave PID block into its cascade input connection (CAS-IN). If the Use PV for BKCAL-OUT option is not selected, the working set point (SP-WRK) is used for BKCAL-0 UT. You can set control options in Manual or Out of Service mode only. When the mode is set to Auto, the SP will remain at the last value (it will no longer follow the PV.

Output Selection and Limiting


Output selection is determined by the mode and the set point. In Automatic, Cascade, or Remote Cascade mode, the output is computed by the PID control equation. In Manual and Remote Output mode, the output may be entered manually (see also Set Point Selection and Limiting). You can limit the output by configuring the OUT-HI-LIM and OUT-LO-LIM parameters.

To configure the block output action, set the Direct Acting control option. This option defines the relationship between a change in PV and the corresponding change in output. With Direct Acting enabled (True), an increase in PV results in an increase in the output. You can set control options in Manual or Out of Service mode only.

Shed Options
Shed from or climb to a remote mode is determined by the parameter SHED-OPT. A block climbs and sheds through the same path. For example, if SHED-OPTS specifies that a block should shed to Auto, then, if the block target mode is set to RCas, the block goes

through Auto on the way to RCas. You can configure the shed option as follows: shed. Selecting the retained target results in shed to Auto. This applies to any block, regardless of whether it is in a field device or a DeltaV controller. The writing device sets or clears the retained target bits in the target mode. Therefore, any workstation or other device (DeltaV controller applications, for example) that does not support retained target operation ignores the retained target bits. In a DeltaV system, regardless of where the block is located, the retained target bits are turned off, and the block sheds to Auto. Auto-On failure of a remote cascade connection, the block sets the target mode to Auto, if permitted. On change to the remote target mode from any other mode, the block attempts to attain Auto, if permitted, until a remote cascade connection is established. Man-On failure of remote cascade connection, the block sets the target mode to Man, if permitted. On change to the remote target mode from any other mode, the block goes to Man until a cascade connection is established. The user may configure SHED-OPTS so that it calls for a target mode that is not permitted. When doing this, the mode logic uses the following rules as applied by the remote logic:
0 Shed logic never results in a non-permitted target mode.

Shed With Return Options


Remote cascade connection failure shifts actual mode but keeps trying to restore remote cascade (in other words, the remote cascade target mode stays in effect). Normal-On failure of a remote cascade connection, the block attempts to attain the highest permitted non-remote mode until remote cascade is restored. On change to remote cascade target mode from any other mode, the block attempts to attain the highest permitted non-remote mode until a remote cascade connection is established. Retained Target-On failure of a remote cascade connection, the block attempts to attain the mode retained in the target mode. On change to the remote cascade target mode from any other mode, the block attempts to attain the mode retained by target mode until a remote cascade connection i s established. Auto-On failure of a remote cascade connection, the block attempts to attain Auto, if permitted, until remote cascade is restored. On change to remote target mode from any other mode, the block attempts to attain Auto, if permitted, until a remote cascade connection is established. Man-On failure of a remote cascade connection, the block sheds to Man until a remote cascade connection is restored. On change to remote target mode, from any other mode, the block goes to Man until a cascade connection is established.

0 Shed logic never attempts to attain an actual mode of Auto or Cas if that mode is not permitted.

Alarm Detection
A block alarm will be generated whenever the BLOCK-ERR has an error bit set. The types of block error for the PID block are defined above. Process alarm detection is based on the PV value. You can configure the alarm limits of the following standard alarms:
0

Shed With No Return Options


For any shed with no return option, the target mode changes as determined by the option. Therefore, there is no attempt to restore the connection following failure. The behavior on change to the remote cascade target mode is identical to that for Shed With Return Options. Normal-On failure of a remote cascade connection, the block sets the target mode to the highest permitted non-remote mode. On change to a remote cascade target mode from any other mode, the block attempts to attain the highest permitted non-remote mode until a remote cascade connection is established. Retained Target-On failure of a remote cascade connection, the block sets the target mode to mode retained in target mode.

The proportional term GAIN applies a change in the loop output based on the current magnitude of the error multiplied by a gain value. The integral control function reduces the process error by moving the output in the appropriate direction. The integral term RESET applies a correction based on the magnitude and duration of the error. To reduce reset action, configure the RESET parameter to be a large value.

Application Example: Basic PID Block for Steam Heater Control


Situation A PID block is used with an Al block and an A 0 block to control the steam flow used to heat a process fluid in a heat exchanger. Figure C-4 illustrates the process instrumentation diagram. Solution Figure C-5 illustrates the correct function block configuration. The PID loop uses TTlOl as an input and provides a signal to the analog output TCVIOI . The BKCAL-OUT of the A 0 block and the BKCAL-IN of the PID block communicate the status and quality of information being passed between the blocks. The status indication shows that communications is functioning and the I/O is working properly.

0 0

Alarms are grouped into five levels of priority, as shown in table C-3.

Status Handling
If the input status on the PID block is Bad, the mode of the block reverts to Manual. In addition, you can select the Target to Manual if Bad IN status option to direct the target mode to revert to manual. You can set the status option in Manual or Out of Service mode only.

Application Example: Feedforward Control


Situation In the previous example, control problems can arise because of a time delay caused by thermal inertia between the two flow streams (TT100 and TT101). Variations in the inlet temperature (TT100) take an excessive amount of time to be sensed in the outlet (TTIOI). This delay causes the product to be out of the desired temperature range. Solution Figure C-7 illustrates the process instrumentation diagram of the steam heater control example with s feedforward control added. Feedfornard control i added to improve the response time of the basic PID control. Figure C-6 illustrates the correct function block configuration. The temperature of the inlet process

The PID function block is a powerful, flexible control algorithm that is designed to work in a variety of control strategies. The PID block is configured differently for different applications. The following examples describe the use of the PID block for closed-loop control (basic PID loop), feedforward control, cascade control with master and slave, and complex cascade control with override.

modify the valve position to compensate for the steam pressure change. The process is slow and causes variations in the product temperature. Solution If the flow is controlled, steam pressure variations will be compensated before they significantly affect the heat exchanger temperature. The output from the master temperature loop is used as the set point for the slave steam flow loop. Figure C-9 illustrates the correct function block configuration. The BKCAL-IN and BKCAL-OUT connections on the PID blocks are used to prevent controller windup on the master loop when the slave loop is in Manual or Automatic mode, or it has reached an output constraint.

Application Example: Cascade Control with Master and Slave Loops


Situation A slave loop is added to a basic PID control configuration to measure and control steam flow to the steam heater. Figure C-8 illustrates the process instrumentation diagram.

The Discrete Input (DI) function block processes a single discrete input from a field device and makes it available to other function blocks. You can configure inversion and alarm detection on the input value. In the DVC5000f Series digital valve controller, the discrete input function block can provide limit switch functionality and valve position proximity detection. The Discrete Input function block supports mode control, signal status propagation, and simulation. Normally, the block is used in Automatic mode so that the process variable (PV-D) is copied to the output (OUT-0). You can change the mode to Manual to disconnect the field signal and substitute a manually-entered value for the output. In this case, PV-D continues to show the value that will become the OUT-D when the mode is changed to Automatic. To support testing, you can enable simulation, which allows the measurement value to be supplied manually through the SIMULATE-D parameter. Figure D-2 illustrates the internal components of the DI function block, and table D-3 lists the definitions of the block parameters.

0 Variable limit switch based on transducer block travel alarm settings 0 Proximity position detection based on transducer block travel alarm settings.

The CHANNEL parameter for each of the four DI blocks available in the digital valve controller may be set independently to achieve the desired position detection. The DI block CHANNEL definitions are listed in table D-I. Refer to the following descriptions for details of the operation of these channels.

Fixed Limit Switch


Channels 1 and 2 provide fixed open and closed limit switch functionality for the DI block. These channels will detect if the valve position is more than 97% for open detection or less than 3% for closed detection. These channels provide a fixed 1% deadzone to clear the detected position.

Table D-4 lists the transducer block parameters used for proximity detection with DI block channels 7 though 10.

To use simulate, first install the simulate jumper in the terminal box, then set Simulate Enable-Disable to Enabled, then enter the desired values for Simulate Value and Status. When SIMULATE-D is Enabled, the Simulate Active bit of the BLOCK-ERR parameter is set (refer to the Block Errors description). When the simulate jumper is installed, the Simulate Jumper bit of the transducer block parameter SELFTEST-STATUS is set.

Block Initialization
The Fieldbus Foundation specification requires that certain parameters in the function blocks have initial values of uninitialized. In addition to setting the Resource block mode to AUTO, the control system or the user must change those parameters from their uninitialized value to a valid value in order for the function block to move from the Out of Service mode. For the DI function block, the CHANNEL parameter must be initialized.

Field Value Processing


The Invert bit of the 10-OPTS parameter may be used to logically invert the value of FIELD-VAL-D before it is stored as PV-D. PV-FTIME may be used to set the length of time that FIELD-VAL-D must be in a new state before that new state is reflected in PV-D. The PV-D value goes to the mode switch where it becomes OUT-D when the actual mode is AUTO. OUT-D is also tested for an alarm state.

Simulation
To support testing of the control strategy, you can Enable the SIMULATE-D parameter. Normally the measurement value and status used for FIELD-VAL-D in the DI block reflect actual process values as provided by the transducer block. When the SIMULATE-D parameter is Enabled, value and status used for FIELD-VAL-D is supplied by the user manually. To enable simulation in the DI function block, the simulate jumper must be installed. For information on the installation of this jumper, see the "Installation" section.

Note

Invert is the only I/O option that the DI block supports. You can set the 1 1 0 option only when the block mode is Out of Service.

Alarm Detection
To select the state that initiates an input alarm, and to set discrete alarm substatus in the output, configure the DISC-LIM parameter. You can enter any value between 0 and 255. A value of 255 disables the alarm. When OUT-D matches the DISC-LM state, the discrete value of an alarm is set.

The block does not respond to actual process values when SIMULATE-D is Enabled.

block algorithm

Application Information
Figure D-4 compares the operation of a standard discrete input to a proximity discrete input. With the standard discrete input, the discrete input changes state when the valve position passes a configurable trip point. This can be used to indicate if the valve position is above or below the trip point. With the proximity discrete input a configurable band can be established about a central point. Whenever the valve position enters this configurable band, the discrete input changes state. A proximity discrete input is useful for applications which require knowing the location of the valve when the valve is not near 0% or 100%. The ESD or batch applications described in the DO application section are both great examples of that situation.

Out of Service (0IS)-The block is not processed. The OUT-D status is set to Bad: Out of Service. The BLOCK-ERR parameter shows Out of Service.

Status Handling
Under normal conditions, a Good: Non-Cascade status is passed through to OUT-D. The block also supports the Status Action On Failure and BLOCK- ERR indications. When SIMULATE-D is enabled, FIELD-VAL-D, PV-D, and OUT-D change to the simulated status.

Figure f-1. Discrete Output (DO) Function Block

The Fieldbus Foundation specification requires that certain parameters have initial values of uninitialized in function blocks. In addition to setting the Resource block mode to AUTO, the control system or the user must change those parameters from their uninitialized value to a valid value in order for the function block to move from the Out of Service mode. For the DO function block, the parameters that must be initialized are: SHED-OPT (see page E4 for valid values) CHANNEL

The Discrete Output (DO) function block processes a discrete set point and outputs it to the specified I/O channel to produce an output signal. The DVC5000f Series digital valve controller discrete output block provides both normal open/closed control and the ability to position the valve in 5% increments for coarse throttling applications. The digital valve controller measures and uses actual valve position for READBACK-D. The DO block supports mode control and simulation. In operation, the DO function block determines its set point and sets the output. The transducer block provides a readback signal of actual position from the instrument. Figure E-I illustrates the primary inputs and outputs of the DO function block. Table E-2 lists definitions for the function block parameters.

Setting the Output


To set the output for the DO block, you must first set the mode to define the manner in which the block determines its set point and output. In Cascade mode, the set point equals the input value at the CAS-IN-D parameter. In Automatic or Manual mode, the set point must be entered manually by the user. For Automatic, the value must be written to the SP-D parameter and for Manual, the value must be written to OUT-D. In Remote Cascade mode, the set point is determined by a host computer that is writing to the RCAS-IN-D parameter. Table E-3 lists discrete states used by the digital valve controller for the set point. The SP-PV Track in Man option permits the set point to track the process variable when the block is in Manual mode. With this option enabled, the set point (SP-D) becomes a copy of the process variable (PV-D), and a manually-entered SP-D value is overwritten on the blocks next execution cycle. This option can prevent a state change when transitioning from Manual to Automatic mode. You can disable this option in Manual or Out of Service mode only. The Invert option inverts the set point at SP-D before it is stored in OUT-D. With this option enabled,

OUT-D becomes an inverted copy of SP-D where non-zero values of SP-D are considered a logic 1. With this option disabled, OUT-D is a direct copy of SP-D. The readback value is processed through the Invert option to become PV-D. The Use PV for BKCAL-OUT option specifies that BKCAL -OUT equal the value of the process variable (PV-D) instead of the set point (SP-D). If you do not enable this option, BKCAL-OUT will equal SP-D.

Simulation
To support testing of the control strategy, you can Enable the SIMULATE-D parameter. Normally, the valve position value and status used for READBACK-D in the DO block reflect actual process values to the nearest 5%, as provided by the transducer block. When the SIMULATE-D parameter is enabled, value and status used for READBACK-D is supplied by the user manually. To enable simulation in the DO function block, the simulate jumper must be installed. For information on the installation of this jumper, see the "Installation" section.

The valve holds its last position and does not respond t o user entered changes when SIMULATE-D i s Enabled. FSTATE-TIME: The length of time, in seconds, that the DO block will wait to set Fault State. When Fault State is set, the OUT-D value goes to either the FSTATE-VAL-D value or holds its last position, depending on I/O-OPTS. When the block has a target mode of CAS, a fault condition will be detected if the CAS-IN-D has a BAD status or an Initiate Fault State substatus is received from the upstream block. FSTATE-VAL-D: Determines the OUT-D value if 10-OPTS Fault State to Value is selected. The OUT-D value transitions to FSTATE-VAL-D after FSTATE-TIME elapses and the fault condition has not cleared.

Note

When simulate is active, the output block no longer writes values t o the transducer block. If the Output Blk Timeout period is exceeded, the transducer block will set the valve t o the NoAir position.

Block Errors
Table E-4 lists conditions reported in the BLOCK-ERR parameter. Conditions in italics are not applicable for the A 0 block and are provided only for your reference.

The SIMULATE-D parameter has three components: Simulate Enable-Disable determines whether the function block will use the actual valve position value and status, or Simulate Value and Simulate Status.
0 0 Transducer Value and Status reflect the process values provided by the transducer block. 0 Simulate Value and Status may be entered by the user when Simulate Enable-Disable is set to Enabled.

Modes
The DO block supports the following modes:
0 Manual (Man)-The block output OUT-D value may be entered manually. 0 Automatic (Auto)-The block algorithm uses the local set point SP-D value to determine OUT-D.
0 Cascade (Cas)-The block uses a set point supplied by another function block.

To use simulate, first install the simulate jumper in the terminal box, then set Simulate Enable-Disable to Enabled, then enter the desired values for Simulate Value and Status. When SIMULATE-D is Enabled, the Simulate Active bit of the BLOCK-ERR parameter is set (refer to the Block Errors description). When the simulate jumper is installed, the Simulate Jumper bit of the transducer block parameter SELFTEST-STATUS is set.

0 Remotecascade (RCas)-The point supplied by a host computer.

block uses a set

0 Out of Service (0IS)-The block is not processed and the output is not transferred to 110. The BLOCK-ERR attribute shows Out of service.

Shed Options
Shed from or climb to a remote mode is determined by the parameter SHED-OPT. A block climbs and sheds through the same path. For example, if SHED-OPT specifies that a block should shed to Auto, then, if the block target mode is set to RCas, the block goes through Auto on the way to RCas. You can configure the shed option as follows:

Action on Fault Detection


Fault State is caused by one of three sources: A status pertaining to CAS, A status pertaining to RCAS, or SET-FAULTSTATE in the resource block. To implement Fault State, configure the following parameters: 10-OPTS: Determines the action OUT-D will take upon a fault state. If the 10-OPTS Fault State to Value i s not selected, then OUT-D holds its last position when Fault State is set. If Fault State to Value is selected, OUT-D goes to the FSTATE-VAL-D value when Fault State is set.

Shed With Return Options


Remote cascade connection failure shifts actual mode but keeps trying to restore remote cascade (in other words, the remote cascade target mode stays in effect).

BLOCK -ERR Conditions

Shed With No Return Options


For any shed with no return option, the target mode changes as determined by the option. Therefore, there is no attempt to restore the connection following failure. The behavior on change to the remote cascade target mode is identical to that for Shed With Return Options. Normal-On failure of a remote cascade connection, the block sets the target mode to the highest permitted non-remote mode. On change to a remote cascade target mode from any other mode, the block attempts to attain the highest permitted non-remote mode until a remote cascade connection is established. Retained Target-On failure of a remote cascade connection, the block sets the target mode to mode retained in target mode. On change to the remote cascade target mode from any other mode, the block attempts to attain the mode retained by target mode until a remote cascade connection is established. The DeltaV system does not support the retained target shed. Selecting the retained target results in shed to Auto. This applies to any block, regardless of whether it is in a field device or a DeltaV controller. The writing device sets or clears the retained target bits in the target mode. Therefore, any workstation or other device (DeltaV controller applications, for example) that does not support retained target operation ignores the retained target bits. In a DeltaV system, regardless of where the block is located, the retained target bits are turned off, and the block sheds to Auto. Auto-On failure of a remote cascade connection, the block sets the target mode to Auto, if permitted. On change to the remote target mode from any other mode, the block attempts to attain Auto, if permitted, until a remote cascade connection is established. Man-On failure of remote cascade connection, the block sets the target mode to Man, if permitted. On change to the remote target mode from any other mode, the block goes to Man until a cascade connection is established. The user may configure SHED-OPT so that it calls for a target mode that is not permitted. When doing this, the mode logic uses the following rules as applied by the remote logic:
0 Shed logic never results in a non-permitted target mode. 0 Shed logic never attempts to attain an actual mode of Auto or Cas if that mode is not permitted.

If the transducer block mode is Out of Service, the status of READBACK-D and PV-D is set to Bad:Out of Service. close, it doesnt. Its stuck. With 5% positioning the valve can be diagnosed to determine when it is starting to stick. By moving the valve to 95% or 90% the process is not at risk of shut down, but you know the valve will move when the process needs it to. In a batch environment, vessels are filled with on-off valves for speed, but there can be a problem at shutoff. The amount of material may not be close enough for the recipe and additional material may have to be added. This addition can be tricky and/or time consuming for the operator. The capability of being able to crack the valve to 5 to 10% and dribble in the correct amount either manually or automatically through recipe control can provide significant reduction in variability, and reduction in FDA-like reporting and certification. In addition, it can elminate the need for a second smaller on-off valve or the operator climbing up and dumping in a pail of material to add just the right amount.

Application Information
In addition to the expected 100% and 0% position (On-Off switching) of the valve, the digital valve controller has the added capability to move the valve to any 5% position, for example 5%0,lo%, 15%, ..., 85%, 90%, etc. The advantage of this approach is that the valve works well in standard On-Off applications as well as two valued applications, for example, ESD and Batch. The most common problem with ESD valves is that when there is an emergency and the valve needs to

Configuring the Loop


To completely configure the digital valve controller for use in a fieldbus loop, you must perform the following procedures:
1. Create a device place holder-A place holder is an electronic representation of the digital valve controller that exists in the DeltaV database with no associated physical device.

Note

The following procedures assume that the DeltaV system and the digital valve controller are installed and powered.

2. Define a control strategy-The control strategy is the relationship between all of the function blocks on the fieldbus segment.
3. Commission the device-Commissioning the device involves downloading applicable parameters from the device place holder to the physical device.
4. Set the digital valve controller block parameters-Setting the digital valve controller block parameters sets up the digital valve controller for use in your specific application. 5. Download the control strategy t o the device-Downloading the control strategy to the device transfers the control strategy from the DeltaV system to the digital valve controller.

Create a Device Place Holder


1. Start DeltaV Explorer by selecting DeltaV > Engineering > DeltaV Explorer from the start menu. 2. Navigate through the file structure to the listing of fieldbus ports (see figure G-3).

Non-Volatile Memory (NVM)

@ h

Note

1. This term (firmware) is sometimes used to refer only to the hardware device or only to the computer instructions or data, but these meanings are deprecated.

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.

2. The confusion surrounding this term has led some to suggest that it be avoided altogether. The term i s included here because of its use in older documentation and culture.

Octet
See byte

Parallel
Simultaneous: said of data transmission on two or more channels at the same time.

Gain
The ratio of output change to input change.

Pressure Sensor
A FIELDVUE instrument internal device that senses the output pressure from the pneumatic relay.

Hardware Revision
Revision number of the Fisher Controls instrument hardware. The physical components of the instrument are defined as the hardware.

Random Access Memory (RAM)


A type of semiconductor memory that is normally used by the microp'rocessor during normal operation that permits rapid retrieval and storage of programs and data. See also Read Only Memory (ROM) and Non-Volatile Memory (NVM).

HART (acronym)
The acronym HART stands for Highway Addressable Remote Transducer.

Rate
Amount of change in output proportional to the rate of change in input.

Instrument Level
Determines the functions available for the instrument.

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.

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).

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.

Chapter 1 - Overview
Scope of Manual
This manual describes the procedures for installing,configuring, calibrating, operating and troubleshooting the MasoneiIanB Smart Valve Interface (SVP) Positioner and Controller. A companion software product, ValVueB, can be used to configure, calibrate, and perform valve diagnostics with the SVI from a remote Windows-based computer. In addition, SVI can be configured, calibrated and perform valve diagnostics with a HART hand-held communicator. I

Product Description

'

The Smart Valve Interface, as shown in Figure 1, is a digital valve positioner and/or process controller that can be either configured, calibrated, and operated locally or remotely. Local functions are controlled by means of local pushbuttons and digital display. Remote operation requires the use of the ValVue product, or a hand-held unit loaded with the registered HART Device Description (DD). 1 The 'SVI controller version can also function as a single-loop PID controller which accepts standard inputs for process variable and set point. It positions the valve to achieve the desired value of the process variable. The Controller version can be configured as either a positioner or controller; however entering of some of the controller parameters requires use of either ValVue software or a HART protocol hand-held unit. ValVue, the software for remote communication of the SVI, runs on standard IBM-compatible computers such as 486 or Pentium. Minimum requirements are 4 MB RAM, Windows 3.1 or better, one available serial port with a HARTB modem, and a hard disk drive. The basic functions performed by ValVue are: Remote display of valve position, actuator pressure, set point, calibration parameters, con figuration parameters, and status/error indicators Remote calibration of the SVI Remote configuration of the SVI Remote operation of the SVI - Manual control of valve position - Perform valve diagnostics and display results (signature, friction, stroking speed, cumulative travel, cycles, and operation in near-closed position) - Recall previous test results for comparison with current data For more details on ValVue software, refer to the ValVue Users Manual. These remote functions can also be performed with a hand-held unit, however, the handheld unit cannot display graphical representation of the diagnostics.

Positioner Auto Tune

Spec if icat ion


SVI performs an automatic determination of the optimal valve position control parameters. In addition to P, I, D, the position algorithm uses damping, symmetry for exhaust and fill time constants, dead zone and magnitude characterization parameters. Auto Tune is optimized for 5% step changes with negligible overshoot. After the Autc Tune process is completed the user can further adjust the positioner tuning parameters to more ,conservative or to more responsive values to produce various dynamic response to the control signal.

Principle of Operation
When configured as an electropneumatic valve positioner, (Figure 2) the SVI accepts a 4-20 mA current signal from a controller or other device,(i.e. HART protocol digital signal) and compares the input signal to the valve position. The difference between the input and position feedback is conditioned by the position control algorithm and converted to a pneumatic signal. This signal is boosted by a pneumatic relay and drives the actuator. When the valve position agrees with the value called for by the position setpoint input signal, the system stabilizes with no further movement of the actuator.

When configured as a PID controller, (Figure 3) the SVI accepts a local control setting, (4-20 mA signal or a HART communications protocol signal). The primary process measurement made by the process transmitter is fed to the controller as a voltage signal of 1 to 5 V dc. The difference between the set point and process measurement is conditioned by both the PID controller algorithm and position control algorithm and converted to a pneumatic signal. This signal is boosted by a pneumatic relay and drives the actuator. When primary measurement and set point signals agree there is no further movement of the actuator and system is in stable control.

Electronics Module
The electronics module contains the power supply, 16 Bit AID Converters, 12 Bit D/A Converters and the microprocesser. Using the internal programmed Positioner and/or Process Control algorithm, it computes the required output based on information received from the measurement sensors. If the display and pushbutton option is selected it contains the electronics for these functions.

Pushbutton Switches
Three pushbutton switches operating in conjunction with the display permit reaqing and modification of the instrument operating parameters without a PC or HART hand-held communicator. These switches perform "genedc" functions - Increase, Decrease, and Accept by movement through a conventional menu structure. The switches can be operated in a hazardous environment without compromising the flameproof enclosure.

E PC (EIect ropne umatic Converter)

The;EPC converts a current signal to a pressure signal in the following manner. A coil operating in a magnetic field is mechanically connected to a flapper. Movement of the coil when current is changed causes the flapper to move towards a nozzle and restrict the air flow through the nozzle. The restricting action causes the back pressure on the nozzle to increase with an increase in the coil current. Removing electrical power from the EPC causes the output pressure to go low. This defines the startup and fail-safe characteristics of the SVI.

Spool Valve
The spool valve is a two way, air-piloted valve that can supply or exhaust air. The pilot pressure, which is controlled by the EPC, in turn controls the rate of air flow that fills or exhausts the actuator.

Sensors (Position, Pressure and Temperature)


Position sensing of the valve stem is accomplished by use of an internally mounted potentiometer mechanically linked to the stem. The output of the potentiometer is connected to the electronics module and provides the input signal to the position control algorithm. The potentiometer resistance is 10,000 ohms and has a full scale travel range of 120 degrees rotation. Full valve stroke must provide 18 degrees minimum * and 100 degrees maximum rotation from reference position. "Open" or "Closed" valve settings establish the reference position. The position sensor also provides, through the electronics module, readout of valve position on the display, communication of valve position via HART protocol and on newer SVI models a 4-20 mA signal proportional to valve position transmitted on a separate pair of leads. If the SVI cannot be mounted on the valve, an optional remote feedback potentiometer can be used to supply the position signal to the SVI. The pressure sensor measures the pressure to the actuator with a range of 0 to 100 psi. This pressure can be read out on the internal display, Hart communicator or Val Vue PC. The temperature sensor is located in the electronics module and measures ambient temperature. This measurement is used to provide temperature compensation for the pressure sensor and other internal electronic components.
* A short stroke version SVI is available; Consult Factory.

System Desc r ipt ion- Pos itio ner


Typical system setups are shown in Figures 5 and 6. In these diagrams, the SVI is configured as a positioner and is located in a hazardous area (wiring diagrams are descriptive only, actual wiring must adhere to Electrical Installation section of manual and local electrical codes). Valve position is determined by an internal feedback potentiometer mechanically linked to the valve stem. The SVI input signal can be a 4-20 mA or a HART communication protocol signal from ValVue software on a personal computer or from a HART Hand Held Communicator. The process controller (or other source of input signal to the SVI) is located in a non-hazardous location and an intrinsic safety barrier (with ground) may be placed between the controller and the SVI or the system can be installed as explosionproof (flameproof). Communication with the remote PC is handled via a modem connected to the remote PC through a serial port. Communication can also be established from a HART Hand-held Communicator. The PC, which is intrinsically safe, must be connected to the circuit on the non-hazardous side of the intrinsic safety barrier if the valve is located in a hazardous area. The SVI unit can be operated, calibrated, configured, and interrogated either by using local pushbuttons/display, or using a remote PC running ValVue software or with the Hand-held Communicator.

When the SVI unit is configured as a PID controller, the + and - terminals are used to power SVI and to remotely set the controllers input. The primary process measurement, made by the process transmitter is fed to the controller as a 1-5 V dc signal, and connected to terminals marked A and B. Various configuration s,chemes using remote set point input are illustrated in Figure 7, Figure 8, and Figure 9.

Single Loop PID Configuration with No Process Feedback

Figure 7 is the simplest configuration for the controller. It requires two 2-wire lines to the field. The sense resistor is located across the A and B terminals of the SVI unit. There is no sensing of the controlled variable in the control room - which is acceptable for applications such as a heat exchanger where the primary variable is temperature and the secondary is flow. In such a case, the SVI is the flow controller and the control room temperature controller sets flow based on the requirements of the temperature loop (with no need to monitor flow in the control room). In the configuration shown in Figure 8, there are three 2-wire connections to the field. With this connection the process transmitter output can be monitored in the control room. The 250 Ohm resistor is located in the control room in this configuration.

The circuit shown in Figure 9 is an intrinsically safe configuration. The 788R+ barrier supplies the operating power to the 4-20 mA process transmitter. This barrier contains a 250 ohm resistor in its current return leg across which a 1-5 V dc voltage is developed. This voltage is fed through the 710+ or 728+ barrier to the A and B (process variable input) terminals in the SVI Controller.

Chapter 2 Mounting
WARN ING:
If the SVI is to be mounted on an existing valve in a process line, the following procedures and precautions are mandatory. If valve is located in a hazardous area make sure area has been certified as safe or that all electrical power to the area has been disconnected before removing any covers or disconnecting any leads. I Shut off air supply to the actuator and to any valve mounted equipment. Ensure the valve is isolated from the process by either shutting off process or using bypass valves for isolation. Tag shutoff or bypass valves to guard against turn-on while work is in progress. Bleed air from actuator and check that valve is in its un-energized position.

It is now safe to disconnect and remove any valve mounted equipment that is being replaced.

NOTE:
The SVI should be mounted with the conduit connections down in order to facilitate drainage of condensate from the conduit and ensure the best dynamic performance.

Standard Rotary Valve Mounting


This section describes the procedure for mounting the SVI on all Masoneilan rotary control valves. Tools required: 3/16 inch Hex Wrench 4 mm Hex Wrench 7/16 inch Combination Wrench

1. Mount the SVI mounting bracket to the valve actuator using two (2) 5/16 - 18 UNC flat-head cap screws. Unless otherwise specified the SVI will be mounted assuming the actuator/valve will be mounted in the normal upright position (i.e., lettering on actuator right side up). This requires the long end of the mounting bracket to be to your right when facing the actuator. Note that the mounting bracket for ball and butterfly valves differs slightly from the Camflex and Varimax bracket but the mounting is identical. 2. Bolt the valve side lever to the valve position take-off shaft using a 1/4 - 28 UNF cap screw, spacer and washer. The spacer goes between the take off shaft and lever, and the washer under the head of the cap screw. On Camflex and Varimax valves, orientate valve side lever 90( from valve position indicator as shown in Figure 12 and securely tighten cap screw. On ball and butterfly valve actuators, orientate the lever so it is midway between the two bracket mounting holes (450 from horizontal) as shown in Figure 13 and tighten cap screw. Alternatively, for all rotary mountings, the actuator can be pressurized to mid-stroke and lever secured in a horizontal position.

Mounting the SVI on other Valves


The SVI can be mounted on many other valve types of both Masoneilan design and those of other manufacturers. Typical mounting on Masoneilan Type 37/38 and 84/85 Actuators is shown in Figures 20 and 21. Figure 21a Smart Valve Interface Outline Drawing shows mounting and overall dimensions. When mounting the SVI to other valves use it as a guide to ensure proper clearances, access room for cover removal and making of pneumatic and electrical connections. The following section describes the general requirements for mounting the SVI on any valve. This section is intended to be used by an Engineering group with basic understanding of instrument mounting on control valves. The following minimum technical requirements must be adhered to: Minimum SVI shaft rotation for full travel is 18. Maximum recommended linkage assembly non-linearity is +/- 1.O%. Minimum mounting bracket thickness is 5.0 mm. In order to mount a SVI on a valve the following parts are required: Mounting Bracket SVI Lever and Linkage for Position Feedback (Reciprocating) SVI Lever and Valve Side Lever for Position Feedback (Rotary) To ensure that the SVI position feedback performs correctly, the plane of the flat on the SVI shaft must be vertical and facing the pneumatic block of the SVI when the valve is at mid travel. The lever must point away from the pneumatic block. See Figure 14. For a reciprocating valve,the bracket, lever, and linkages should be designed such that the lever is perpendicular to the actuator stem when the valve is at mid-stroke. The linkage pivot point on the SVI lever should be on the same centerline as the valve stem at mid-stroke. (turnbuckle centered on and parallel to stem). For a rotary valve it is recommended that the Masoneilan design valve side lever and SVI lever be used since they incorporate an anti-backlash spring feature. The mounting bracket should accommodate the four mounting holes of the SVI. Adequate space must be left between the SVI and the Actuator to accommodate the lever and linkage or the rotary lever coupling. Clearance space is required for the output air connection and SVI end cover. See Figure 22 for mounting interface requirements.

A lever length should be chosen depending on the stroke of the given actuator. Table 4 can be used as a guide in determining lever lengths.
The recommended lever material is aluminum 6061 temper TI, anodized for corrosion protection. This lever should be designed to the basic dimensions as shown in Figure 23. If designed in a material other than aluminum, the clamping effort for the M5 screw must be reviewed to ensure proper attachment to the SVI shaft.

>

Less than 1 ppm w/w or v/v.

Contaminant's: Free of all corrosive contaminants and hazardous gasses, flammable or toxic.

The supply, output and exhaust connections for the SVI (located on the pneumkic block) are tapped 1/4" NPT, The output connection is located on the back of the block. The supply and exhaust are located on the side of the block with the exhaust above the supply and fitted with a plastic plug. Two pressure gauges, output on top, supply on bottom, are located on the front of the pneumatic block. The use of a Masoneilan filter regulator with a 5 micron filter is recommended for the air supply. Tubing used for piping between filter regulator, SVI , and actuator should be 1/4" minimum with 3/8" used for larger actuators.

CAUTION: Do not use pipe thread sealant tapes on pneumatic fittings as it tends to shred small particles
which can cause instrument malfunction. The use of a soft setting anaerobic hydraulic seal such as Loctite Hydraulic Seal 542 is recommended. Follow manufacturers instructions.

CAUTION: Do not use an excessive amount as it will not set and may migrate into the instrument.
Maximum allowable air supply pressure to the SVI varies according to actuator and valve size and type. See pressure drop tables in valve specification sheets to determine correct positioner supply pressure. Minimum supply pressure should be no less than 10 psi above maximum spring pressure.

DANGER: Never exceed actuator or SVI maximum supply pressure. Damage to equipment or injury to
personnel may result.

When operated with current input, the loop controller or any other current source must be capable of supplying 4-20 mA with an output voltage compliance of at least 12 V. Before applying power to the SVI make sure currentholtage jumper is in correct position. The available output voltage of a current source will be reduced by loop wiring resistance. This can be checked by connecting a resistor of value (600 ohms + loop resistance ) across the output of the current source and verifying that 20 mA is obtainable at full scale output. The SVI is normally supplied with two 1/2 NPT conduit entries. (M20 adapters are available) Internal and I external ground terminals are provided for use if grounding is required.
I

WARNING: The SVI must be installed in accordance with local and national codes of practice in both general purpose and hazardous area locations. The electrical components are fully isolated from ground and therefore grounding is unnecessary for functional purposes. Grounding may be necessary to conform to installation codes.
Figure 24b is a composite wiring installation diagram applicable to both SVI versions and to the controller option. It is suitable for general purpose locations and to explosionproof (flameproof) installations when applicable wiring codes are observed.

SVI Interconnections
Basic Positioner
The basic positioner functions to position the valve in response to the magnitude of the 4-20 mA current input., The connection between the positioner and control system is by a two conductor cable. The recommended configuration is use of twisted pair, shielded cable, with the shield and loop grounded at one point onIy.

Positioner or Controller with HART Communication


Impedance Constraints
HART communication is based on the "talking" device generating an AC current superimposed on the 420 mA control signal. Two frequencies are generated; one representing the digital value "0" and one representing the digital value "1". the "listening" device responds to the voltage generated when the AC current flows through the loop impedance. (In order to generate a voltage from a current there must be an impedance.) HART Protocol required that this impedance be at least 220 Ohms at the tone signaling frequencies. At DC (zero frequency) a current source presents a very high impedance. (Little change in current for a large change in voltage.)
IMPEDANCE VS FREQUENCY FOR TYPICAL CURRENT SOURCE

Figure 26. Impedance vs Frequency for Typical Current Source

2 2
Log Frequency

I\

However, at higher frequencies, the impedance may be lower. For example, a noise reduction capacitor across the output of a current source will lower the impedance at higher frequency and thus lower the signaling voltage. Ideally the current source will be supplied with an impedance versus frequency characteristic (see fig 26). The heavy band in the sketch represents the range of frequencies for signaling tones. In practice, this detailed information is seldom available. To be certain that at least 220 Ohms of impedance is presented by the current source a resistor may be added in series with the current source (see figure 27). However, this will reduce the effective compliance voltage of the current source by 20 mA times the value of the series resistor. for example, a 250 Ohm resistor will reduce the effective compliance voltage by 5 Volts. Consider that the compliance voltage of a typical current source is 24 Volts, and the voltage requirement of the SVI is 12 Volts (typically only about 10.5 Volts) there is plenty of compliant voltage even with 5 volts dropped by the series resistor.

Figure 27. Resistor Add in Series with Current Source

I

Noise Constraints
Hart Communication depends on converting two frequencies into digital values 0 and 1. Noise can cause errors in the conversion. Conventional good wiring practice such as use of twisted shielded pair cable with the shield and signal loop grounded at one point only will minimize the effects of noise.

Interference with DCS


The HART signaling frequencies are a 1mA peak AC current. This AC current, flowing in the DSC output, can cause a shift in the DCS 4/20 mA DC signal. both Honeywell and Mopre Products DCS require a filter between the DCS and the HART signaling devices to prevent the HART frequencies from upset ting the DCS output. The filter also serves to establish a minimum impedance of greater then 250 Ohms, and to prevent AC frequencies generated in the DCS from interfering with the HART communication.

Cabling and Interconnection Constraints


Interconnections should be made using shielded twisted pair cables. The shield must be connected to ground at one point only. The signal loop should also be grounded at one point only.

40

Return to Info Centre

Split Range
Split range SVI requires special consideration of the compliance voltage. the SVI requires about 11 Volts (the spec is 12 Volts). Two SVI in series will therefore require about 22 Volts. But the typical current source can only deliver about 24 Volts, so the system will be Voltage starved. One solution is to use an active barrier for each loop. Using an active barrier allows up to three SVI to be operated from a single 4/20 mA DCS output. Each barrier has a low compliance Voltage input requirement and a high voltage output capacity. So three barriers can be connected in series input. I Figure 28 shows the same barriers as are used in the multiplexer.
%

Figure 28. Split Range Active Barrier

Another approach is to boost the compliance voltage of the DCS using a power supply (see figure 29). The DCS vendor should be contacted to validate this approach.

A further constraint on the split range system is that the minimum span is 5 mA, the upper range value is 8 to 20 mA and the lower range value is 4 to 14 mA. (Example 4-9 mA; 9-14 mA, 14-20 mA.

Chapter 3 - Operation - SVI Positioner


Introduction
Operation of the SVI Positioner as a local device is controlled through the optional device-mounted pushbuttons and digital display, as shown in Figure 30. Using the display, you can read: (1) the input signal (2) pneumatic output signal, and (3) valve position. The display sequences from one variable to the next every 1.5 seconds. Using the pushbuttons, you can exit from operating mode at any time and step through a menu structure to perform a wide range of manual operation, calibration, confi'guration, and monitoring functions, all of which are described later in this section. Before you can perform any of these functions, however, you must first ensure that the ValVue software (if used) has placed the pushbuttons in the "unlocked" mode. (See ValVue User Manual for more details.) The pushbuttons do not support any diagnostics functions.

NOTE: If the SVI unit is specified without local pushbuttons and display, local operation is not available.

Pushbuttons/Dis play
As shown in Figure 30, the upper line is a 7-digit numeric display and the lower line is a 7-digit alphanumeric display. The upper line is used for displaying values such as input signal or valve position, and the lower one is primarily used for messages and parameter identification.

The three pushbuttons perform the following functions:


The left button, marked with *, permits you to select or accept the value or parameter option currently displayed. The middle button, marked (-), permits you to move back through the menu structure to the previous item in the menu, or to decrement the value currently shown in the digital display. When used to decrease a displayed value, holding this button down causes the value to decrease at a faster rate. The right button, marked (+), permits you to move down through the rdenu structure to the next item in the menu, or to increment the value currently shownin the digital display. When used to increase a displayed value, holding this button down causes the value to increase at a faster rate.

To determine how to display and/or select a particular parameter value or configuration option, refer to the menu structure diagrams in Figure 31 through Figure 35. By using these diagrams as a map, you can quickly move through the menus to the function you want to perform.

NOTE:
If the buttons are pushed after being locked by the ValVue software, the message LOCKED will appear. Please refer to ValVue Software Manual to unlock pushbuttons.

NOTE:
When an SVI is turned on, it is advisable to apply the air supply before applying the electrical input signal.

3. Press + twice to move to -)CONFIG option.


Press * to put the SVI in the configure mode and display the first item in the CONFIGURE menu. 5. If Single or Double displayed is the one desired, press + to move to the next item. If not, press * to select the alternate choice. When OK, press + to move to next item. (Note: DOUBLE is not presently implemented.) 6. In CTL ON (OFF), OFF should be displayed for positioner. If display shows ON press to select OFF. Press + to move to the next item. 7 . In AT0 (ATC), if option displayed is correct, press + to move to the next item. If not, press * to select the alternate choice. When OK, press + to move to the next item. a. In LINEAR (or other curve), if option displayed is the one desired, press + to move to the next item. If not, press to select the other options. When OK, press + to move to next item. If custom is selected, the custom curve must have been entered through the ValVue software program. The curve itself cannot be entered from the local pushbuttons. 9. The tight shutoff (TS) option allows the user to configure the positioner to apply full supply pressure (or atmospheric pressure) to the actuator whenever the signal directs the valve near the closed position. If the tight shutoff option is on, the value of the TS option determines the near value at which the valve is forced fully shut. In TS OFF (ON), if status and value displayed are satisfactory, press + to move to next item. If not, press * to change on/off status and display value. Then press + or - buttons to increase or decrease value displayed. (When status is changed from ON to OFF, no value is displayed). When value is OK, press * to accept value and move to next item. 10 The SVI allows the user to configure a lower (PL) and upper (PU) software position limit stop. When in operation with these limits on, the valve will not move below the lower limit stop or above the upper limit stop. (Caution: These are software limit stops. If the SVI fails for any reason including power fail ure or air failure, the SVI cannot enforce these limit stops and the valve will go to fail-safe. Furthermore, the FULL OPEN AND FULL CLOSED buttons in ValVue bypass the limit stop controls. If safety requires the use of limit stops, mechanical limit stops should be used). In PL OFF (ON), if status and value displayed are satisfactory, press + to move to next item. If not, press * to change on/off status and display value. Then press + or - buttons to increase or decrease value displayed. (When status is changed from ON to OFF, no value is displayed). When value is OK, press * to accept value and move to next item. 11 In PU OFF (ON), if status and value displayed are satisfactory, press + to move to next item. If not, press * to change on/off status and display value. Then press + or - buttons to increase or decrease value displayed. (When status is changed from ON to OFF, no value is displayed.) When value is OK, press * to accept value and move to next item. 12. The SVI local display may be configured to display English or French. If the language displayed is correct, press + to move to next item. If not, press * repeatedly to display other language options. When the desired language is displayed, press + to move to next item.

Local Calibration
NOTE:

Perform configuration before running calibration functions.

Functions
You can perform the following calibration functions with the SVI product: Low and high values for input signal Low and high values for actuator pressure output Set the minimum and maximum stops for valve position

Procedures
Refer to the menu structure diagrams in Figures 31 through 35 on pages 46 to 50 for assistance in following the procedures described.

To calibrate the SVI unit using the local pushbuttons, execute the following procedure:
CAUTION: Since some calibration functions stroke the valve over its full range, the valve should be is0 lated from the process before starting calibration.
1.

2.
3. 4. 5.

If in NORMAL OPERATE mode, press any button, -)OPER will be displayed. Press + to get to the MAN menu item. Press to move to MANUAL MENU (POS MAN displayed) Press + to move to ->CAL option.

Press * to go to CALIBRATE menu. STOPS will be displayed. In STOPS, press * to initiate the operation, which moves the valve to fully closed, then fully open, and then returns to the starting position. (This operation calibrates the end points for the position feedback potentiometer.) When the operation is complete, press + to move to the next item.

CAUTION: This function strokes the valve over its full range. Do not execute while valve is controlling the process.
6.

On some valves, the full travel is larger than the nominal travel of the valve and it may be desirable to have the reported 100% position correspond to the nominal travel rather than the full stroke. The STOP OP option allows this correction. If a correction is to be made, press to move valve to the 100% position. Using the + and - buttons, position the valve to the nominal full open position. Press to accept this position as the new 100/o position. 7. The Bias is the signal sent to the internal I/P that causes the actuator to neither fill nor exhaust. The pneumatics are adjusted at the factory and should not need further adjustment. If the pneumatics need to be readjusted for any reason, the BIAS option should be selected by pressing *. This will output a value of 2750 to the I/P. The adjustment screw on the top of the pneumatics section can be adjusted until the valve is nearly stationary near mid travel. See Bias Adjustment in Troubleshooting. Press + to move to the next menu item. 8. The TUNE menu item allows the user to initiate the automatic position control tuning function which will select appropriate PID parameters for the position controller. Press * to initiate AUTO TUNE function. This procedure may take from 1 to 5 minutes. During this time the valve will make a series of steps (Caution: This procedure should not be performed while the valve is controlling the process.) When the function is completed, you return to TUNE. Press + to advance to the next item.

Chapter 4 - Operation-SVI Controller


Introduction
NOTE: The SVI must have the controller option installed at the factory. With this option installed, the SVI can be operated as either a positioner or controller, selectable by Val-Vue, HART Communicator or the local pushbuttons. (Local pushbuttons support limited controller functions.) Operation of the SVI Controller with firmware version 1.0.5 requires that all controller operating parameters be entered from either ValVue software or from a HART 275 Hand Held Communicator with Masoneilan SVI Software. The operating parameters that are used for both controllers and positioners can be entered either from the local pushbuttons or ValVue or the Hand-held. The primary process measurement, made by the process transmitter is fed to the controller as a 1-5 V dc signal and connected to terminals A and B on the SVI terminal board. An SVI with firmware version 1.0.6 allows local pushbutton entry of setpoint values and choice of local or remote setpoint. The main controller operating parameters (P, I, D, etc.) still must be entered via ValVue or HART Handheld Communicator. The version 1.0.6 display shows: (1) setpoint-remote or local as configured (2) process variable (3) valve position and (4) pneumatic output signal pressure. The display sequences from one variable to the next every 1.5 seconds. Using the pushbuttons, you can exit from operating mode at any time and step through a menu structure to perform a wide range of manual operation, calibration, configuration, and monitoring functions, all of which are described later in this section. Before you can perform any of these functions, however, you must first ensure that the ValVue software (if used) has placed the pushbuttons in the unlocked mode. (See ValVue User Manual for more details).

NOTE:

If the SVI unit is specified without local pushbuttons and display, local operation is not available, therefore, ValVue Software or a HART handheld communicator is required. When an SVI is turned on, it is advisable to apply the air supply before applying the electrical input signal.

NOTE:

Local Display and Pushbuttons The three pushbuttons perform the following functions: The left button, marked with , permits you to select or accept the value or parameter option currently displayed. The middle button, marked (-), permits you to move back through the menu structure to the previous item in the menu, or to decrement the value currently shown in the digital display. When used to decrease a displayed value, holding this button down causes the value to decrease at a faster rate. The right button, marked (+), permits you to move down through the menu structure to the next item in the menu, or to increment the value currently shown in the digital display. When used to increase a displayed value, holding this button down causes the value to increase at a faster rate.

To determine how to display and/or select a particular parameter value or configuration option, refer to the menu structure diagrams in Figure 37 through Figure 42. By using these diagrams as a map, you can quickly move through the menus to the function you want to perform.

Normal Operation Controller Functions


In normal operation, the SVI unit operates as a controller using a local or remote input signal as set point. The primary process measurement, made by the process transmitter, is fed to the controller as a 1-5 Vdc signal. The local digital display sequentially displays set point-remote or local as configured, process variable, valve position, and actuator pressure on a 1.5-second interval. Pressing any button moves you to the -'OPER option in the OPERATE MODE MENU, as shown in Figure 37 on page 62. The OPERATE MODE MENU has 4 options: -' MAN (put valve in manual mode and go to MANUAL Menu), (CTLR (go to CONTROLLER Menu), EXAMINE (go to EXAMINE Menu), and +OPER (return to display of current position, pressure, and signal). Use the pushbuttons to move from one option to the next. Press the ' button to go to the item displayed in the menu.

Parameters and Options Available The Controller version of SVI must have the controller parameters configured from either Val-Vue or a HART Hand Held Communicator. Normally all of the operating parameters will be configured from Val-Vue or the Hand Held Communicator, however any parameters common to both the positioner and controller versions can be entered or changed via the pushbuttons. Controller setpoint values and selection of local or remote setpoint can also be entered via the pushbuttons. You can configure the following options by pressing the local pushbuttons in the procedure described below. We recommend that you use the menu structure diagrams in Figures 37 through 42 (pages 62 to 67) as a road map in following the procedures described. As noted previously, configuration should be performed before calibration. Also note that configuration can be performed only when the valve is in manual mode. The configurable options are as described in Table 8.

Operation SVI Positioner / Controller using HART Handheld Communicator


A HART 275 Handheld Communicator with Masoneilan SVI Software can be used to set up and calibrate an SVI Positioner or Controller. It's capabilities extend well beyond the range of pushbutton functions in that it allows positioner tuning and controller tuning parameters to be individually entered, and it also supports limited diagnostics.
Refer to HART Communicator Manual MAN 4250 for basic instructions on using the Handheld communicator. The manual covers General Instructions, Hot Key customization, conn'ections, and Off-line functions. \
~

The menu structure on Page 60 is a guide to all the operations which can be performed on both SVI Positioners and SVI Controllers using the HART Handheld.

Operation SVI Positioner / Controller using ValVue Software


Use of ValVue Software provides the most comprehensive menu selections for configuring, calibrating and monitoring the SVI Positioner and Controller. All operating and calibration parameters be entered and additionally a very comprehensive diagnostics program is available. The diagnostics program allows recall of stored test data to compare current performance of the valve, positioner and actuator with previous test results or factory data. Operation of the SVI Positioner and Controller with ValVue is covered in the separate manual furnished with ValVue software.

Chapter 5 - Troubleshooting
Introduction
This section of the manual offers procedures and options to confirm setup and configuration and allows you to exhaust many service options before seeking assistance from a factory-trained technician. By first following these procedures, you can save time, prevent costly downtime, and provide the service technician with more detailed information about the possible problem. Although this section is written primarily for use with the pushbutton/local i s p l a y version of the SVI Positioner, it also applies to Val-Vue and HART handheld operation and in applicable areas, to the PID Controller version.

Factory Service
Trained service personnel perform high-level SVI troubleshooting and servicing. Should the SVI unit require replacement of internal parts, the unit will be replaced with a new or rebuilt unit. An extensive replacement inventory is available for immediate shipment. If this service is needed, contact your local salesperson or contact Masoneilan Dresser at www.masoneilan.com.

Common Problems
The troubleshooting checklist guides the user through a number of possible faults. However prior to utilizing this list, the user should make an initial assessment of the installation; looking at the following items:
0

I s the mounting of the SVI correct and the linkage orientation proper? Are all linkage mechanical
connections securely tightened? Are all pneumatic connections tight and is the supply pressure the correct value for actuator being used? Are electrical connections made to the correct terminals and securely tightened? Assuming the display is active, the user should carefully check that all configuration parameters are compatible with the valve under control and properly entered in to the positioner. If the SVI has been under control of ValVue and left in the full open or full closed position, the buttons cannot take control of position in the Manual Mode. To regain control, go to Normal Mode in ValVue and then to Manual before exiting ValVue or power down/power up the SVI.

Pneumatic Connections
The SVI requires a regulated air supply of clean, dry, oil-free instrument air conforming to the requirements od ISA-S-7.3, Quality Standard for Instrument Air. Figure 43 shows the locations of supply, outputand exhaust connections on the pneumatic block.

EXHAUST ACTUATOR SUPPLY

AIR SUPPLY

Figure 43. Exhaust, Actuator and Air Supply Connections Additionally the following conditions must be met: Ensure that the exhaust port can vent to atmosphere (e.g., no obstructions or foreign matter blocking ports). Connect the actuator port (behind the pneumatic block) to the actuator. For best response times use 318 tubing. Confirm that the supply pressure gauge reads the supply pressure and that the supply pressure registers 20 psi minimum. (Actual supply pressure used is a function of actuator supply rating). Momentarily disconnect the supply current (voltage) to the SVI and verify that the output pressure registers close to 0 psi and that the valve sits against a stop.

Note:

Air-to-open (ATO) requires a normally closed valve; Air-to-close (ATC) requires a normally open valve.

78

Return to Info Centre

Supply Pressure
SVI requires sufficient supply pressure to drive the valve against the stops. For best results the supply pressure should be 5 to 10 psi higher than the actuator nominal pressure range as shown on the data plate.

For example, if the spring range is 11-23 psi, set supply to between 28 and 33 psi. The maximum pressure rating of the SVI is 100 psi; however in most cases the actuator pressure rating is the controlling factor in determining supply pressure. If pressures higher than 100 psi are required, consult factory.
I

I DANGER: Never exceed actuator or SVI maximum pressure. Damage to equipment or injury to personnel may result.

Verifying Supply Pressure


The following procedure may be used to verify whether supply pressure is suffiaient to drive valve against stops. Close the holes in the exhaust plug by blocking air path. The output pressure should slowly rise to supply pressure and the valve should drive to the high pressure stop. If output pressure does not go to or close to supply pressure, there may be a leak within the pneumatic block. Consult Factory.

If the valve does not drive against the stops when the output gauge reads a pressure higher than the actuator specification, then the actuator may be defective or improperly installed, the valve may be jammed due to improperly installed packing, or the valve body contains an obstruction.

79

Return to Info Centre

Electrical Connections
The SVI requires an electrical input from a 4-20 mA current source or a voltage input from a 12/24 V dc Multidrop supply. The 4-20 mA signal can provide both operating power and signal information, or if a digital input signal is used, provide only operating power. The 12/24 V dc Multidrop supply can be used only when the input signal is digital. Selection of current or voltage input is by position of a jumper on the main terminal board. See Figures 44 and 44a.

Caution:
Make sure the voltage/current jumper is in the proper position (V or mA) before applying power. Failure to do so may result in damage to the SVI.

The SVI is polarity sensitive so the positive lead must be connected to the positive (+) terminal and the negative lead to the negative (-) terminal. Reversal of input will not cause damage but the unit will not function.

Verify Wiring and Connections


Check that the SVI is properly powered per following: Connect a dc voltmeter across the input terminals.
I

Note: Test pins, located adjacent to the terminal strip facilitate connection of the voltmeter. For any inpuf current value between 3.8 and 22 mA the voltage should be between 9.5and 11 V.

If voltage exceeds 11.5 V check that polarity is correct and that V/mA jumper is in correct position. I
0

If voltage is less than 9.5 volts and polarity and jumper are correct, voltage compliance of current source may be inadequate. Connect milliammeter in series with current signal and verify that source can supply 20 mA to SVI input. If 20 Ma is not attainable, current source may be inadequate for this type of service, or other loads or inclusion of Intrinsic Safety barriers may be limiting the source drive capability.

Ground Practice
Make sure that case, signal and if utilized, process controller, ground connections are made in compliance with plants normal grounding practices. The case grounding screw is located on the outside of the case to the lower right of the display cover. Signal grounding should follow normal rules for the facility. Any point in the loop may be referenced to ground but there should never be more than one ground point.

If the SVI has the Process Controller option, auxiliary terminal B must be connected to the same ground reference as the negative input current terminal.
Note:

Improper or inadequately grounded installations may cause noise in or instability of the control loop.

If noise or instability are present, set positioner to Manual Mode of operation and manually position valve over its entire range. If valve is stable in manual mode, then problem may be noise in control loop. Recheck all wiring connections and ground points. If noise and instability are still present in manual mode, problem is most likely with electronics module. Consult Factory.

HART Compliance
SVI requires a HART-compliant communications loop. The HART protocol specifies the noise level, impedance requirements and configuration of the loop.

Note: When an intrinsically safe barrier separates the communicating device, a HART-compliant barrier
must be used.
Conventional current output loops consisting of the following components usublly meet requirements for HART compliance. \ Quality current source (e.g. low noise, high impedance) Minimum loop impedance of 250 ohms Twisted pair cable suitable for 4-20 mA current loops

Testing Valve Performance


The following preliminary valve performance test checks the physical part of the system and isolates several potential problems. It bypasses the microprocessor configuration.
1. Place the SVI in Manual mode using pushbuttons, Val Vue or handheld. If using pushbuttons, in Manual mode select POS MAN

2. By holding the and buttons down confirm that the valve moves to open and closed positions. This may take some time with a large actuator. (If using ValVue or handheld, use the FULL OPEN and FULL CLOSED commgnds).
I+
I-

If the valve correctly performs the open/close command in manual mode, continue with Confirming Configuration procedure below. If the valve does not perform the open/close command, review the following:
1. Gonfirm that the air pressure is on, set to proper pressure and connected to proper port. 2.

Check that spool valve is not sticking. Refer to Spool Valve Maintenance on Page

3. See Bias Adjustment on Page 92 and adjust bias if necessary.


4.

If FAILSAFE shows on display refer to FAILSAFE on Troubleshooting Checklist for appropriate action.

5.

If items 1, 2, 3, and 4 above are OK, the EPC (electropneumatic converter) may be faulty. SVI must be returned to factory for service on this component.

Confirming Configuration, Setup, Calibration, and Limit Stops


If the valve has performed properly in the manual mode, continue with followin,g procedure. This series of checks confirms proper configuration, setup, calibration, and establishes parameters for further testing.
1.

Place the SVI in the Manual Mode using ValVue, the handheld, or the pushbuttons. Check the following conditions: Confirm the accuracy of configuration and setup parameters by going to Configure and Calibrate menus and verifying that the parameters are correct. Run Find Stops. Perform an Auto Tune from the Calibration section. If continuing to experience problems, run AutoTune again. If using ValVue or the handheld set the PID parameters to values recommended in the PID parameters list. If problems persist, consult factory.

Initiate Valve Movement (50%)


Use the series of checks in this procedure to confirm that the configuration is correct.
1.

Place the SVI in Manual Mode using ValVue, handheld or the pushbuttons. Set the p,osition setpoint to 50%. Confirm whether valve moved to set position.
0

2.

If valve is in proper position; continue with Initiate Valve Movement (95%) procedure below.
If valve is not in proper position, set to full open and check whether position is at 100%. If not, re-run Find Stops. If this does not correct problem return unit to factory.

If valve oscillates review the following conditions:

1. Check for improper tuning. Perform either another Auto Tune or if ValV,ue or handheld are

available, input manual values from the parameters table and re-test. (Manually inputting values of P=50, 1=100, D=10, Padj=O, Beta=8, PosComp=6, and Damping=O should produce stable but perhaps sluggish operation on any valve.)
2. Check that ground connections are made to correct ground points and that connections are

secure.

3. Check the linkage between the position sensor and valve for excessive play.
4. Check that spool valve is not sticking.

5. Check for excessive friction in the valve packing; it is one cause of limit cycling. Limit cycling can be caused by tight valve stem packing, an undersized actuator, or foreign material in the spool valve. Identify limit cycling conditions by a process of elimination (e.g. not noise, not oscillation). Install valve packing only tight enough to prevent leakage. Evaluate the valve packing by running the ValVue diagnostic program to determine if the friction is consistent with the type of valve. If you determine that the spool valve is the source of limit cycling, it should be cleaned or replaced.

Initiate Valve Movement (95%)


Use this procedure to confirm that the SVI and valve systems are performing properly.
1. Place the SVI in Manual mode using ValVue, handheld or the pushbuttons. Set the position setpoint to 95%.
2. Confirm that valve is in the set position (95%).

If valve is in proper position, the SVI and valve systems are functioning properly. Place the SVI in OPERATE mode. It is recommended that if possible the valve be cycled through its full stroke using the control room 4-20 mA source. This will verify

that the valve control loop is not noisy and that compliance voltage is high enough to properly drive the SVI.

If the valve does not travel to 95%, review the following: 1.


Check that air supply pressure is adequate for actuator

2. Repeat previous tests as necessary to determine cause of problem. If consistent


and proper operation cannot be obtained, return SVI to factory.

FaiI-Safe Display
A reading of Fail-safe on the display indicates a fatal or non-fatal error in the SVI and acknowledges that the computer holds the output in a fail-safe condition. Use the pushbuttons, Hand Held or ValVue to see the cause of the fail-safe condition, a list of error codes, and the necessary cortective action.
Note: Not all errors are fatal (e.g., not all errors cause a fail-safe condition.)

Latches: Certain errors occur and self-correct. The SVI clears the bit in the status when the error disappears and uses latches to show you an error occurred (although it is not currently an error). Errors that latch include RESET, POSSEN, PRESSEN, REFERR, and TEMPERR. Table contains a description of fatal and nonfatal SVI errors.

Au t oTu ne
Running the positioner AutoTune procedure automatically determines position control parameters such as P, Padj, I, D, and dead zone. If the SVI is a Positioner/Controller model running autotune sets the positioner tuning parameters; the controller tuning parameters have to be entered via a Hand Held or ValVue.

Note:

Confirm that the Bias settings appear in a reasonable range, with a low signal-noise level, before running Aut oTune.

AutoTune Procedures
Initiate positioner AutoTune either by selecting the AutoTune button in the ValVue SVI Calibration Window or by using the SVI local buttons (Refer to Calibrate menu in Operation section of manual) or by initiating auto tuning from the hand-held. The AutoTune procedure includes three steps: ' Bias search Estimate control parameters Refine control parameters In Bias Search, the SVI local displays values (such as 23530 and 2761 0) that approach, or converge on,

a real Bias value. Expect the valve to move back and forth, slow down, and remain still by the end of this
step.

In estimating control parameters, SVI displays three types of values: input step sizes (such as 80 and 320), valve relative opening (such as 1874 and 1756), and dead time (such as 4.00 and 7.00). Expect the valve to move back and forth several times. SVI uses these tests to estimate the preliminary control parameters based on position control characteristics.
In refining the estimated control parameters, SVI displays several numbers (such as 1211 and 6). Interpret the number 1211 as the rising time (T98 is 12 x 0.05 sec = 0.6 sec) and overshoot is 11%. The code number 6 indicates a specific control parameter adjustment.

Auto Tune Results


A successful AutoTune provides position step responses, in both air fill and exhausting directions, that meet the tuning criteria. Overshoots range between 0 and 8%, and rising times range from 0.3 second for a small actuator to 1.5 second for a large actuator. A successful AutoTune updates the previous control parameters. AutoTune usually results in fast position responses (0 to 8% overshoots). If you prefer a smooth response without overshoots, reduce the P value by 10 to 20%. If you prefer a slow response, set the damping coefficient at 1 to 9 (e.g., zero equals no damping, 9 equals maximum damping)

Damping Coefficient

Unacceptable Response Characteristics


Valve position responses depend on many factors including the condition of the valve, actuator, and process; ambient temperature; noise; the SVI itself; supply pressure; and the setup and step change size for the positioner control parameters.

Note: A 5% step change should be made when the valve is in the 20 to 80% opening range.

With damping coefficient of zero (no damping), consider the following valve responses unacceptable: Overshoot greater than 20% Rising time (T98) greater than 1.5 seconds for small actuators and 2.5 seconds for large actuators Dead time greater than 0.5 seconds Limit cycling peak-to-peak measurement greater than 0.5% Position steady-state error greater than 0.5% if the dead zone is less than 0.2%.

Position Insta biIity


The possible sources of position instability include: Control loop (measurement) noise Process noise Line frequency noise Oscillation Limit cycling Control loop noise only appears in the Normal mode (never the Manual mode). For best control, reduce control loop noise by re-tuning the process controller (in the SVI or an external controller). You may also dampen the SVI response. Process noise results from process pressure and flow changes that apply forces to the valve plug and cause changes in position. Although the SVI restores the plug position, the response is not instantaneous. Poor grounding of the signals and case, or power supply ripple in the 4-20 mA control signal, can introduce line frequency noise. Line frequency noise converts to low-frequency noise when a noisy signal sampling occurs during a period not integrally related to the line frequency. The resulting frequency measures more than 1 Hz, a frequency too high for resolution by the process trend record.
A pulsating sound of escaping air at the exhaust port usually indicates line frequency noise. In extreme cases, the valve stem may appear to pulsate

Correct a line frequency noise problem by proper grounding (page 82) or by eliminating ripple noise from the current source. (HART compliance requires less than 4 *A of current ripple).

Oscillation
If using a HART Communicator or ValVue, set the following values to identify PID oscillation: If SVI is pushbutton model, re-run auto-tune. If oscillations persist contact factory. P = 20 I = O D=O Dead zone = 0
Padj = 0 Beta = 0 Damping = 0 Position Compensation Coefficient = 0
I

If the position remains stable, then the problem is related to the positioner settings of the PID. Re-run A utoTune.

Limit Cycling
The characteristics of limit cycling include at least a 4-second period and a squared off (as opposed to sinusoidal) trend record. Excessive friction in the valve/actuator assembly, or dirt in the spool valve assembly, can cause limit cycling. The SVI diagnostic identifies excessive friction in the valve/actuator assembly as a reported friction value greater than 30% of the actuator span.

Bias Adjustment
Masoneilan adjusts the bias of the pneumatic block at the factory in order to accommodate most environmental effects. This setting usually makes bias adjustment neither necessary or desirable. Situations do arise, however, when bias adjustment becomes necessary. For example, after replacing the spool valve, or when the unit experiences extreme environmental conditions, adjusting the bias can optimize positioner performance.
For either of the following cases, do not adjust bias:

After calibrating the limit stops of the valve and setting the parameters, an offset may occur between the SVI position indicated on ValVue (or in the push-button display) and the actual valve position. On start-up, after leaving the unit without power for an extended period of time, an offset sometimes occurs between the signal and actual valve position. On startup, this offset begins moving slowly. This offset exists because the present bias setting differs from the setting recorded when the unit last saved the bias.
Note:

These offsets resolve themselves because the SVI saves the bias value every hour, which provides a more accurate signalhalve position reading. For more rapid adjustment. select the Calibrate screen and return to Manual Mode which automatically saves the value.

For the following case bias may need to be adjusted:


If full open or full close wont cause the valve to move fully to the stops, you may need to adjust the bias.

Bias Adjustment Procedure


An SVI-generated pilot pressure controls the spool position. The pilot pressure range is displayed as a dimensionless value between 0 and 5500. The exact number can be displayed when using ValVue or a Handheld Configurator for calibrating the SVI. The value is not displayed when using pushbuttons, but is automatically set to the calibrate value of 2750 when in bias adjust mode.

If using pushbutton model SVI, follow menu steps to "CAL" and then to "BIAS" . Press the "*" button. If using Handheld or ValVue, go to manual screen, click Calibrate button, enter 2750 in "Output Value to VP" box, then click on "Output" ,,
Note valve position. If near to 50%, adjustment is not required. If adjustment is required, using a 7 mm open end wrench, remove the cap nut on the top of the pneumatic block and loosen the locknut. Using a 2 mrn hex wrench, adjust the bias screw until the valve is at 50% position and stable. If movement of ttie adjusting screw does not re-position valve, return unit to factory for servicing.
I

After adjustment is complete, tighten locknut and replace cap nut

Spool Valve Maintenance


If troubleshooting procedures have shown the spool valve to be a suspect component, use the following procedures to clean the pilot subassembly and replace deteriorated parts. This procedure describes the steps necessary to disassemble the spool valve. To minimize maintenance time, Masoneilan recommends replacing the entire pilot subassembly. Using a replacement subassembly allows you to work on the old unit as time permits. Prior to any disassembly, make sure new "0"rings of proper material are available. The old rings should not be re-used.

Warning :
Cleaning the pilot subassembly and replacing deteriorated parts requires shutting down the positioner and isolating the valve from the process. Failure to do so can result in damage to the system or personal injury. Figure 45 illustrates the components of the pilot subassembly.

Disassembly Procedure
Completely shut down the SVI. Isolate the valve from the process 'Put the positioner out of service Shut off air supply Install warning signs or lockouts as necessary to ensure against accidental re-activation of SVI.

WARNING : Failure to completely shut down SVI can damage the system or result in personal injury.
Unscrew pilot subassembly and disengage it from the body.

Note: Turn the pilot subassembly while removing to prevent damage to "0"rings.
Remove the end plug and withdraw the spring, plug, and extension pin. Do not disassemble or adjust the extension pin. Wipe the parts with a clean soft cloth and blow clean compressed air through the orifices. Clean all surfaces with isopropyl alcohol only. Do not use chloride-based solvents

Reassembly
Install three new "0"rings on the pilot spool. Apply a light coating of a compatible lubricant to each ring. Insert the extension pin and the plug into the pilot spool, with the countersunk end first. Note: The plug should slide into the spool by its own weight. Install the spring in the pilot spool with the small diameter end contacting the plug. Screw the pilot end plug into the pilot spool. Install the pilot subassembly into the body.

HART Communications
This section contains information about computer and peripheral connections necessary to achieve proper communication, so that SVI can communicate with ValVue or a Hand-Held device. The ValVue manual contains setup and administration procedures for HART communications. Refer to HART Communicator manual MAN 4250 for for basic instructions on using the Hand Held communicator. The manual covers General Instructions, Hot Key Customization, Connections, and O f f l i n e functions. Use of the Hand Held with SVI is facilitated by use of the Hand Held Communicator Guide flowchart in the Instructions section of this manual.

Setup and Administration


Load ValVue version 1.0.4, or higher, for proper operation of the PC.The ValVue version number and the SVI version number must match (or use a higher ValVue version than the SVI version software).
Note:

ValVue demo software does not communicate with SVI.

Communication Port and Settings


Plug the modem into the serial port (COM1 or COM2) of the PC. The user selects the serial port during ValVue installation, or in the properties of the ValVue icon, or you manually can set ValVue to use the same port as the modem. The user manual for your computer contains more information about proper use of serial ports. Typical PC operation includes the following settings: COM1 or COM2 as the physical connector Default settings for the interrupt level and interrupt address (e.g., the correct BlOS settings use the serial port with a modem and enable the interrupt)

Use o f Laptop Computers


Laptop computers sometimes require non-conventional settings and support Power Management features that can disable the COM ports. Check your laptop user manual for additional information.

Mouse Interference
Modem settings sometimes conflict with proper mouse operation, and the mouse "hangs up" after initiating ValVue. Select another port for either the mouse or the modem.

Hand Held Considerations


A hand-held terminal must include the SVI device description in order to perform diagnostic and calibration functions. The HART 275 hand-held terminal will report the primary and secondary variable, tag, message, and other basic values. Note: The communication connection of a PC with ValVue or a HART 275 hand-held terminal is not polarity sensitive.

95

Return to Info Centre

Failure to Communicate
If the PC fails to communicate with the SVI (the PC displays the message "No Hart Device" or "Device Not Responding") then the PC cannot establish a link to the SVI. Possible causes of communications failure related to installation include: Poor wiring contacts Improper connection of the HART modem to the computer Incorrect serial port Using ValVue with another HART master terminal in service lnsuff icient loop impedance (Require a minimum of 250 ohms) Polling address set to non-zero value. The polling address, which can be set only by using the HART 275 Hand-held must be set to 0 in order for ValVue to communidate with the SVI. Do not change polling address from 0 with HART 275 Communicator.
I

Note:

You cannot use ValVue and attempt to connect another HART master terminal device (e.g., a
hand-held device). ValVue will not operate with a second terminal device (either primary master or secondary master).

Introduction
Scope of Manuai
This manual describes and provides instructions and parts lists for Type 67AF and 67AFR regulators. Although sometimes shipped separately for line or panel mounting, these regulators are usually shipped installed on other equipment. Instructions and parts lists for other equipment, as well as for other 67 Series regulators not covered in this manual, are found in separate manuals.

TYPE 67AF OR 67AFR REGULATOR

Product Description
Type 67AF and 67AFR self-operated, aluminum-body, filter regulators provide constant reduced pressures in a variety of applications. They are commonly used as supply pressure regulators for pneumatic instruments as shown in figure 1.
A Type 67AF or 67AFR regulator with a cellulose or stainless steel filter removes particles greater than 0.001 6 inch (0.040 mm) in dtameter, or with a glass filter removes particles greater than 0.0004 inch (0.01G mm) in diameter.

TYPICAL POSITIONER

The Type 67AFR regulator additionally has an integral low-capacity internal relief valve. In this construction, the stem seats against a soft-seated orifice in the diaphragm assembly. A downstream pressure increase above the outlet pressure setting moves the diaphragm assembly off the stem, venting the excess pressure through a hole drilled or tapped in the spring case.

Specifications
Table 1 gives some general Type 67AF and 67AFR regulator ratings and other specifications. A label on the spring case gives the recommended and actual control spring range for a given regulatcr as it comes from the factory.

Installation

Note If the regulator is shipped mounted on another unit, install that unit according to the appropriate instruction manual.

Personal injury, property damage, equipment damage, or leakage due to escaping gas or bursting of pressure-containing parts may result if this regulator is overpressured or is installed where service conditions could exceed the limits given in table 1, or where conditions exceed any ratings of the adjacent piping or piping connections. To avoid such injury or damage, provide pressure-relieving or pressure-limiting devices (as required by the appropriate code, regulation, or standard) to prevent service conditions from exceeding those limits. A Type 67AFR regulator, because of its low-capacity internal relief, does provide very limited downstream overpressure protection, but it should not be considered complete protection against overpressure. Additionally, physical damage to the regulator could cause personal injury or property damage due to escaping gas. To avoid such injury or damage, install the regulator in a safe location. Regulator operation within ratings does not preclude the possibility of damage from debris in the lines or from external sources. A regulator should be inspected for damage periodically and after any overpressure condition.

1. Only personnel qualified through training and experience should install, operate, and maintain a regulator. For a regulator that is shipped separately, make sure that there is no damage to, or foreign material in, the regulator. Also ensure that all tubing and piping have been blown free.

2. Install the regulator so that flow is from the IN to the OUT connection as marked on the regulator body. Cutout dimensions for a panel-mounting regulator are shown in figure 2.
3. For best filter drainage, orient the drain valve (key

17,figure 2) to the lowest possible point on the filter cap (key 25,figure 2).This orientation may be improved by
rotating the filter cap with respect to the body assembly (key 1, figure 2).

A regulator may vent some gas to the atmosphere. In hazardous or flammable gas service, vented gas may accumulate and cause personal injury, death, or property damage due to fire or explosion. Vent a regulator in hazardous gas service to a remote, safe location away from air intakes or any hazardous area. The vent line or stack opening must be protected against condensation or clogging.

Return to Info Centre

Types 67AF and 67AFR


4. A clogged spring case vent hole may cause the regulator to function improperly. To keep this vent hole from being plugged (and to keep the spring case from collecting moisture, corrosive chemicals, or other foreign material) orient the vent to the lowest possible point on the spring case or otherwise protect it. Inspect the vent hole regularly to make sure it has not been plugged. Spring case vent hole orientation may be changed by rotating the spring case with respect to the body. A Type 67AF or 67AFR regulator with a tapped spring case may be remotely vented by installing obstruction-free tubing or piping into the 1/4-inch NPT vent tapping. Provide protection on a remote vent by installing a screened vent cap in the remote end of the vent pipe.
of pressure containing parts or explosion of accumulated gas, never adjust the control spring to produce an outlet pressure higher than the upper limit of the outlet pressure range for that particular spring. If the desired outlet pressure is not within the range of the control spring, install a spring of the proper range according to the diaphragm parts maintenance procedure.

Note Each regulator is factory-set for the pressure setting specified on the order. If no setting was specified, outlet pressure was factory-set at the midrange of the control spring.

5. For use in regulator shutdown, install upstream and downstream vent valves or provide some other suitable means of properly venting the regulator inlet and outlet pressures.
6. If using pipe, apply a good grade of pipe compound to the pipe threads before making the connections.

7. Install tubing or piping into the 1/4-inch NPT inlet connection on the body assembly (key 1, figure 2) and also into the 1/4-inch NPT body outlet connection, unless this connection already has been factory-piped to another unit.

3. If outlet pressure adjustment is necessary, monitor outlet pressure with a gauge during the adjustment procedure. A standard Type 67AF or 67AFR regulator is adjusted by loosening the locknut (key 11, if used) and turning the adjusting screw or handwheel (key 10) clockwise to increase, or counterclockwise to decrease, the outlet pressure setting. Then, tighten the locknut (if used) to maintain the adjustment position. On some regulators, a closing cap (key 28, not shown) must be removed before adjustment and replaced afterward.

Startup and Adjustment Shutdown


Key numbers are referenced in figure 2.
1. With proper installation completed and downstream equipment properly adjusted, slowly open the upstream and downstream shutoff valve while using pressure gauges to monitor pressure.

2. Regulator outlet pressure may be monitored on a gauge installed at some point downstream from the regulator, such as the supply pressure gauge of a pneumatic instrument for which the regulator is providing reduced pressure. Or, outlet pressure may be monitored on a gauge (key 21, not shown) installed on the body of a regulator with a tapped side outlet. If the regulator has no gauge but the side outlet is tapped and plugged, the pipe plug (key 21, not shown) may be removed and a gauge temporarily installed for monitoring.

First close the nearest upstream shutoff valve and then close the nearest downstream shutoff valve to vent the regulator properly. Next, open the vent valve between the regulator and the downstream shutoff valve nearest to it. All pressure between these shutoff valves will be released through the open vent valve, since a Type 67AF or 67AFR regulator remains open in response to the decreasing downstream pressure.

Maintenance
Regulator parts are subject to normal wear and must be inspected and replaced as necessary. The frequency of inspection and replacement ,of parts depends on the severity of service conditions and upon applicable codes and government regulations. Open the drain valve (key 17, figure 2) periodically to empty accumulated moisture from the filter cap (key 25, figure 2).

Filter Element and Trim Parts


1. Use a 12-point socket wrench to remove the cap screws (key 18). Remove the filter cap and gasket (keys 25 and 19).

In step 5, if installing a control spring of a different range from the one that was removed, be sure to delete the spring range originally appearing on the control spring label (key 20, not shown) and indicate the new spring range.

2. The retainer assembly and filter element (keys 43 and 29) may come off with the filter cap; if not, remove these parts to let the plug spring (key 6),plug spring seat (key 5), and plug/stem assembly (key 4) drop freely from the body. 3. Inspect the removed parts, replace as necessary, and make sure the plug seating surfaces are free from debris. A dirty filter element may be cleaned with solvent and blown dry. 4. Apply a good grade of lubricant to the gasket (key 19) before installing it. Stack the gasket, retainer assembly, filter element, plug spring, plug spring seat, and plug/stem assembly (keys 19, 43, 29, 6, 5,and 4) on the filter cap (key 25). Install the filter cap with stacked parts into the body assembly (key 1) and secure with the cap screws (key 18).

5. Stack the control spring and control spring seat (keys 9 and 8) onto the diaphragm assembly (key 7).
6. Install the spring case (key 2) on the body assembly (key 1) with the vent oriented to prevent clogging or entrance of moisture. Install the machine screws (key 12) and torque to 5 to 7 foot-pounds (7 to 9 Nom).

7. When all maintenance is complete, refer to the startup and adjustment section to put the regulator back into operation and adjust the pressure setting. Tighten the locknut if used (key 1l ) , and install the closing cap if used (key 28, not shown).

Prior to installing, clean all lines thoroughly to remove all dirt, scale or other foreign matter. Install Lock-up valve in controller output line as near control valve diaphragm chamber as possible, holding number of connections to a minumum, so that the air flows through the body in the direction indicated by the words INLET and OUTLET marked on the underside of valve body. The signal pressure line should be connected upstream of the air supply regulator to provide effective response of the lock-up valve in event of air failure. Be sure all connections are tight.

ADJUSTMENT
The lock-up valve is normally factory set (i.e., 23 psi for 3-15 psi operation or 35 psi for 6-30psi operation) and should not require adjustment. If, however, it becomes necessary to adjust the setting, an air supply with a gauge and regulator, should be piped to the signal pressure connection after (1) relieving compression on range spring of lock-up valve and (2) connecting instrument output line to inlet connection of lock-up valve. Instrument output pressure need be sufficient only to determine open and closed position of lock-up valve. Turn air supply pressure on until pressure gauge indicates the desired set pressure, then turn adjusting screw down until no air pressure may be felt coming from the outlet of the lock-up valve. Valve will be fully closed at this point. Finally, tighten adjusting screw locknut and connect (1) the lock-up valve outlet connection to control valve diaphragm chamber and (2) the signal pressure line to the signal pressure connection of the lock-up valve. Turn on and set air supply to operating pressure.

MAINTENANCE (cont.)
To disassemble the valve proceed as follows: Remove the four body cap screws; body cap (15), body cap O-ring (14), range spring (3), upper spring button(2) and spring case (9) will come free from body (7). To free diaphragm SIA (10) and inlet valve SIA (12) form body, place wrench on insert retainer (13) and unscrew from body insert (5). Remove body insert O-ring (6) and slide diaphragm SIA, body insert and inlet valve SIA from body. Holding inlet valve from turning, unscrew inlet valve locknut (4) and remove diaphragm SIA from inlet valve. Turn inlet valve out of body insert. Check all ports to be sure they are clear of dirt. Inspect diaphragm SIA for rupture or for damage around the edge. If necessary, install new diaphragm SIA. Check inlet valve for wear. If inlet valve in scored or pitted, replace with new one.
To reassemble the lock-up valve, perform all operations

Instruction ES0400 02/02 BR400 Booster Relay

Product Description
The BR400 and BR200 are high capacity volume boosters for applications that require fast stroking speeds using pneumatic actuaturs. Stable operation over a whide range of actuator sizes can be obtained by adjusting the bypass valve on the booster to modify the dynamic response. The BR400 and BR200 are equally suitable for use on diaphragm or piston actuators.

Return to Info Centre

Instruction ES0400 02102 BR400 Booster Relay

Principle of Operation
The input signal pressure is applied to the upper diaphragm to produce a force that is opposed in a 1:l ratio by the output pressure acting on the lower diaphragm through the seal plate orifice. An increase in the input signal pressure will depress the top diaphragm and open the pilot valve, allowing supply pressure to the output until the output pressure action on the lower diaphragm re-balances the forces. conversely, a decrease in the input signal pressure allows the exhaust valve to open until the output pressure falls to the same value as the input signal pressure. A bypass valve allows a controlled flow of input signal direct to the output to obtain stable control for small or slow changing input signals.

Instruction ES0400 02/02 BR400 Booster Relay

Pneumatic Supply
The BR400 and BR200 Booster Relays require a source of clean, dry, oil-free, instrument grade air to ANSIIASA57.3 1975 (R1981) or ISA-S7.3-1075 (R1981).

Dew Point Particulate Matter Oil Content: Contaminants

At least 18" F (10" C ) below minimum anticipated ambient temperature. Filtered to below 5 microns. Less than 1 ppm wlw or vlv. Free of all corrosive contaminants and hazardous gasses, flammable or toxic.

Pneumatic Connections
The pneumatic connection locations are shown on Figure 1 and are also stamped on relay body. The supply and output connections are %" NPT and the signal connection is l/q" NPT. The supply and output tubing should be a minimum of %. Blow out all piping prior to connecting to booster. Use of a soft setting anaerobic hydraulic seal, such as Loctite Hydraulic Seal 542 is recommended on the male threads of all connections.

A A

CA UT 10 N C A UT 10 N

Do not use an excessive amount of hydraulic sealant as it will not set and may migrate into the pnematic passages.

Do not use pipe thread sealant tape on pneumatic fittings, as it tends to shred small particles which can cause instrument malfunction.

Installation
The booster relay should be close coupled to the actuator. Use of a short % , , pipe nipple between the relay output and the actuator provides both the pneumatic connection and mounting means. The preferred orientation is with the exhaust openings pointing down; however horizontal mounting is acceptable.

Operation
Prior to applying supply pressure to the relay, open the bypass needle valve approximately one turn. After applying pressure, note response of actuator to open and close commands from the positioner. If excessive overshoot or hunting is seen, open needle valve until stable operation is obtained. If valve is sluggish, close needle valve until unstable operation occurs, then back off until stable operation is obtained. Turning valve clockwise (closing) speeds response but can lead to instability. Turning valve counterclockwise aids stability but will slow down the actuator's response. Proper setting provides stable operation and acceptable response time.

Return to Info Centre

Instruction ES0400 02/02 BR400 Booster Relay

Maintenance
The BR400 Booster Relay does not require any routine maintenance. If a contaminated air supply has been used, then there may be need to clean the filters or disassemble the relay to clean the supply and exhaust seats and valves.

Troubleshooting
If the output pressure does not respond to changes in the input pressure, check that kupply pressure is at proper value and that signal and supply filters are not plugged with foreign matter. Check also that supply and exhaust valve seats are clean. If output pressure is not stable or is slow to respond, check setting of bypass needle valve. See bypass valve setting procedure under "Operation".

The aauators are designed for application within 3 ranges of valve sizes: one range of actuators lor all valve styles, types, and 8lzes VaO through W ;another range of actuatorsfor sizes 3/4' through 1'; and one raws of actuators for 1W' valves. Within their broad respective ranges, ,Versa aCtUBtOrS are completely interchangeable on all body styles, types ,and eltes. Excepl for valves that are spacifirally normally closed or normally open, mese actuators mey even be shined from end-to-end on Ihe valve body to sult any specific piplng layout or spec8 requiremenl. Illustrated with brief descriptions, are the basic type6 of actuators in most frequent use. The 'leners' referred to by the actuator types coincide wlth the prefix leners umd in the product numberingsystem. Many varlalions and modlfication6 of ihese basic actuators are also avaitable. A few are described on Page V-4.8 under Sufflx Details. Others, 6uch es mmbinallon acluerors, can be found on Pages V-68.1 thru 69.3.

When used wkh a spring reNm (9) or differenlal pllol relum (K) h e valve will be aaualed when the solenold Is energized and will return when the solenoid is deenerglzed. When used in pairs for 2-poeition valves, the solenoid need only be energized momentarily In order to shift the valve. The valve wlll then remain in rhe shltled pOSlIlOn until signallea 10 relurn by the oppo6lre solenoid. in spring centering models (X) the valve will rarnaln in rhe center posirlon untll on8 of the Golanoids is onorgired.
