The FIELDVUE DVC6200 Digital Valve Controller is a core component of the PlantWeb™ digital plant
architecture. The digital valve controller powers PlantWeb by capturing and delivering valve
diagnostic data. Coupled with ValveLink™ software, the DVC6200 provides users with an accurate
picture of valve performance, including actual stem position, instrument input signal, and pneumatic
pressure to the actuator. Using this information, the digital valve controller diagnoses not only itself,
but also the valve and actuator to which it is mounted.
