Topics include valve and actuator setup, maintenance, repair and troubleshooting. State of the art control valve instrumentation; i.e., the Fisher DVC (Digital Valve Controller) family (DVC2000, DVC5000, and DVC6000). DVC mounting, configuration, calibration, diagnostics, and troubleshooting are key subjects. The 275/375 handheld communicator and AMS ValveLink software are used as configurators. This course teaches only those instruments that are based on the HART protocol.
