Valves, Actuators & Pump Control


Digital valve controller with stainless steel housing

November 2013 Valves, Actuators & Pump Control

The Fieldvue DVC6200 digital valve controller from Emerson Process Management now has added capability with a stainless steel housing that withstands the corrosive atmospheres often experienced in chemical plants, pulp and paper mills and oil and gas installations. All DVC6200 series instruments utilise a patented linkage-less, non-contact feedback design to detect valve position. This valve positioning technology eliminates any travel feedback issues caused by corrosion, high cycle or high vibration applications.

Inside the stainless steel housing, fully encapsulated printed wiring boards add to the corrosion resistance. Internal component protection is further enhanced by a separate, weather-tight field wiring terminal box that isolates the field wiring connection from other areas of the instrument.

With over one million units installed worldwide, FIELDVUE digital valve controllers are highly suited to difficult process environments, where they provide unmatched valve operation. The DVC6200 series is offered with CSA, IECEx, ATEX and FM hazardous area approvals as well as other certifications and approvals. It is also listed in the Lloyd’s Register for industrial, marine and offshore use.
