Instrument Identification
Read-only parameters on the resource and transducer
block configuration pages provide identification
information about the instrument. Detailed information
for these parameters is provided in this section.
View Lists
View Lists allow the values of a set of parameters to
be accessed at the same time. View lists are available
for the resource and transducer blocks, and the
function blocks.
Resource Block—tables 5-6 through 5-9
Transducer Block—tables 5-14 through 5-20
AO Function Block—tables 5-25 through 5-28
PID Function Block—tables 5-32 through 5-35
IS Function Block—tables 5-40 through 5-43
OS Function Block—tables 5-48 through 5-51
AI Function Block—tables 5-57 through 5-60
MAI Function Block—tables 5-64 through 5-67
DO Function Block—tables 5-72 through 5-75
DI Function Block—tables 5-81 through 5-84
Note
Views Lists are used by hosts for
efficient monitoring of multiple
parameters. Normally you will not be
aware of view list usage, as they are
hidden by the host software.
Resource Block
This section contains information on the DVC6000f
Series digital valve controller resource block. The
resource block defines the physical resources of the
device. The resource block also handles functionality
that is common across multiple blocks. The block has
no linkable inputs or outputs.
Display
Instrument
(RB > Display > Instrument)
The following parameters are contained in the the
Instrument menu of the resource block.
Strategy
Strategy (STRATEGY [3]) permits strategic grouping
of blocks so the operator can identify where the block
is located. The blocks may be grouped by plant area,
plant equipment, etc. Enter a value between 0 and
65535 in the Strategy field.
Tag Description
The Tag Description (TAG_DESC [2]) is unique
description of each block within the digital valve
controller, used to describe the intended application
for the block. Follow the prompts on the Field
Communicator to enter an up to 32 character
description for the block in the Tag Description field.
(This parameter is read/write.)
Device ID
The 32 character Device ID (DEVICE_ID [54]).
Electronics Serial Number
The Electronics Serial Number (ELECTRONICS_SN
[49]) set at the factory.
Factory Serial Number
The Factory Serial Number (FACTORY_SN [50]) is
the instrument serial number set at the factory.
Field Serial Number
The Field Serial Number (FIELD_SN [51]) is the serial
number of the valve and actuator on which the
instrument is mounted.
Manf ID
Manufacturer Identification (MANUFAC_ID [10])
identifies the manufacturer of the instrument. It is used
by the host system to locate the DD file for the device.
For Fisher the Manf ID is 0x5100.
Device Type
Device Type (DEV_TYPE [11]) identifies the type of
device. It is used by the host system to locate the DD
file for the device. For a DVC6000f digital valve
controller with Standard Control the device type is
0x4601.
