Configuring and Performing Partial Stroke
Testing via Loop Current Initiation with the
Fisher™ FIELDVUE™ DVC6200 SIS Digital Valve
Controller
The DVC6200 SIS is capable of performing loop current initiated Partial Stroke Testing. This is useful in cases where
you want to initiate Partial Stroke Testing (PST) of your FIELDVUE DVC6200 SIS digital valve controller via analog
current. This instruction manual supplement is intended to guide you in the configuration and use of this functionality.
Use these procedures in conjunction with the Safety manual (D103601X012) and Instruction Manual (D103557X012).
In addition, exercise good engineering practices and abide by specific plant safety guidelines for safe operation.

Instruction Manual Supplement DVC6200 SIS

Initiating a Partial Stroke Test via Loop Current Trigger
When this feature is enabled, the digital valve controller will run a partial stroke test if the loop current is set to within
+/0.5% of the PST Initiation Point. The loop current must remain at that point for the duration of the test. This feature
is not available when a local control panel is installed.
PST Initiation Points:
Deenergize to Trip (DETT) Applications – 16 mA (Normal State 20 mA and trip State 4 mA – Normally used
configuration with Relay A and Relay C)
Energize to Trip (ETT) – 8 mA (Normal State 4 mA and Trip State 20 mA – Normally used configuration with Relay B)
Canceling a Partial Stroke Test via Loop Current Trigger
To abort the test, the loop current must be returned to the normal current. Alternately, setting the loop current to its
tripped state will override the PST and abide by the safety function.
