What is the digital valve controller?
The Digital Valve Controller 1 is smart controller and attached to the valve actuator that controls and
monitors the operation of the valve. The DVC can operate in protocol 4 - 20mA 3, HART 2, Fieldbus or
Profibus.

Application of Digital valve controller:

Digital Valve Controllers are used in the control valve and are usually attached to the control valve itself,
except those used are digital valve controllers that use a remote system. And also digital valve
controllers are not only used to regulate fluid flowing using a control valve.

Now digital valve controllers can be applied to the damper of a fan. The working system is the same,
only different applications on a damper and a control valve.

After we see the block diagram from Digital valve controllers. DVC gets a signal from the control room,
the signal goes into the PWB for processing then the electrical signal from the PWB enters the I / P
transducer for conversion to pneumatic signals. The pneumatic signal from the transducer goes into the
relay to strengthen the pressure which then enters the actuator.

After there is movement in the control valve, the feedback magnet reads the position of the control
valve and sends the results of the reading to the PWB to be corrected if something goes wrong. And the
correction signal is sent to the actuator via the I / P transducer and then to the relay and into the
actuator so that the position of the control valve opening is more precise.

Of the three applications, the digital valve controller works the same, the difference lies only in the
magnet in the digital valve controller itself. The difference for magnetic sliding stem, rotary magnet, and
long stroke magnetism. Digital valve controller has carried out a protocol based on HART (high way
addressable remote controller).

This protocol uses a 2 wire communication system, so the command current (4-20mA) from controllers
unites with the power for the DVC. The ease of the user in setting parameters in the digital valve
controllers to match the specifications of the control valve available to optimize the work of the digital
valve controllers.

Communication tools for setting parameters in digital valve controllers using Hart Communicator, in the
communicator’s computer users can set the desired parameters, and can also calibrate directly using the
Hart communicator. And also use the loop calibrator as an injector of current and voltage when the
control valve and digital valve controllers are calibrated

The Digital Valve Controller is smart and it is attached to the valve actuator, which controls and monitor
the valve operation. The DVC is capable of operating in 4-20mA, HART, Fieldbus or Profibus protocol.

Functions of DVC:
Reducing the deadband on the control valve
Controlling single acting actuators and double acting actuators
Can be used in split range applications
Increase torque for seat load
Make the control valve work in accordance with the command signal from the control room
Modify characteristic flow
Reduces slow response to control valve
Reverse the action of the control valve
Components of Digital Valve Controller:

dvc
PWB (Printed Wire Board)

PWB can be called the brain of DVC because all settings and parameters in the control valve are stored
in PWB

I / P Transducer

I / P transducer 11 functions to convert electrical signals from PWB into pneumatic signals which are
then forwarded to the relay.

Relay

The relay 12 functions as a signal amplifier obtained from the transducer which is then channelled to the
actuator to adjust the valve opening.

Magnet Feedback
Magnet Feedback functions to become a feeling media in the control valve, and then what is felt /
changes that are felt by the magnetic feedback becomes feedback to DVC so that the error in the control
valve can be corrected by DVC.

Working of DVC:
DVC gets a signal from the control room, the signal goes into the PWB for processing then the electrical
signal from the PWB enters the I / P transducer for conversion to pneumatic signals.

The pneumatic signal from the tranducer goes into the relay to strengthen the pressure which then
enters the actuator.

After there is movement in the control valve, the feedback magnet reads the position of the control
valve and sends the results of the reading to the PWB to be corrected if something goes wrong.

And the correction signal is sent to the actuator via the I / P transducer and then to the relay and into
the actuator so that the position of the control valve opening is more precise.

Types of DVC:
Digital valve controllers have many types from the first output to the latest types released by Emerson
Process management.

DVC 2000:
Digital valve controller type 2000 is the first output, equipped with a display and push-button so that the
user can calibrate the control valve directly without any additional devices such as the Hart
communicator.

DVC 6000
Digital valve controller type 6000 is the second type of digital valve controllers, this type uses feedback
still uses the linkage type. So the possibility of contact is still large.

DVC 6200:
This type of digital valve controllers is the same type as DVC 6000. The only difference is the feedback
system that has a magnetic system, so there is no contact between the control valve and DVC.

Applications of DVC:
Usually DVC is used in control valve and attached to control valve

Digital valve controllers can be applied to the damper of a fan. The working system is the same, only
different applications on a damper and a control valve.

The ease of the user in setting parameters in the digital valve controllers to match the specifications of
the control valve available to optimize the work of the digital valve controllers.
