2 :ValveLinkMay 2005 2 AMS ValveLinkR Software gives you the ability to work with HART and FOUNDATION fieldbus FIELDVUE instruments. AMS ValveLink Software provides an easy-to-use environment on a personal computer forconfiguring, calibrating, and diagnosing the operating characteristics of DVC6000, DVC2000, dvc5000 ,DVC6000f and DVC5000f series digital valve controllers. Using AMS ValveLink Software , an instrumentengineer, maintenance technician or operations supervisor can obtain the information needed to determineproblems before they affect the process. AMS ValveLink Software helps to determine which control valvesrequire maintenance during turnarounds. AMS ValveLink Software runs on a personal computer and presentsFIELDVUE instrument information with easy-to-interpret, customizable ValveLink Software is a core component of the proven PlantWebRdigital plant architecture.

Setup Wizard asks basic questions about the valve and actuatorto simplify and speed commissioning. You can evencustomize the Setup Wizard so that:Automatically Optimize Valve PerformanceThe Performance Tuner lets you easily adjust a FIELDVUE digital valve controller for optimum mounting a FIELDVUE digital valve controller, to either a FisherR or a non-Fisher valve, the PerformanceTuner can optimize valve performance for the Full Potential of the FIELDVUER digital Valve Controllers with AMS ValveLinkR Software and FIELDVUER DiagnosticsPerformance DiagnosticsPredictive in-service diagnostics for monitoring the healthof the valve assembly and customized diagnostics foradvanced predictive in-service diagnostics may be used to helpdetect problems with air leakage, valve assembly friction and deadband, instrument air quality, loose connections,supply pressure restriction, and valve assembly a problem is identified.

7 The diagnostic provides a description and severity of the problem, a probable cause, and recommended diagnostics for troubleshooting allow custom diagnostics to be set up to collect data at a high-frequencycollection rate and present the data in a graphical an issue is so complex that external expertise isrequired, the data may be exported from the customdiagnostic and sent to an expert for evaluation, therebyminimizing the need for an on-site Diagnostics provide on-line / in-servicepredictive diagnostics to identify faults and listpossible causes and recommended correctiveactions for each and Relay IntegrityAMS ValveLinkR SoftwareProduct :ValveLinkMay 2005 6 Provide Real-Time Notification of Current and Potential Valve and Diagnosticsenables the use ofdiagnostics while the valveis in-service and can be performed toidentify problems with theentire control valveassembly, such as:HRed/Yellow/Greencondition indicator,including:SSupply PressureSRelay AdjustmentSAir Mass FlowSTravel deviationS1-Button SweepHFriction and Deadband TrendingPerformance Diagnostics are available upon user request or may be scheduled to automatically run on a daily, weekly,or monthly the step response test to verify instrumenttuning and valve response to signal changesA Performance step test provides apredefined sequence of 29 steps.

8 Thistest allows the user to quickly evaluatevalve and actuator response to signal change and determine maximum tests help you detect emerging valve repair requirements before they impact performance. This enables you to set up a scheduleto do predictive maintenance rather than preventive maintenanceZOOM IN TO EXAMINEVALVE MOVEMENT ANDOTHER DETAILSAMS ValveLinkR SoftwareProduct :ValveLinkMay 2005 7 Advanced DiagnosticsFIELDVUE Advanced Diagnosticsvary the digital valve controller set point and plot valve operationto provide insight into the dynamic performance of the valve/actuator assembly. Advanced Diagnostics includeout-of-service diagnostics suchas valve signature, dynamicerror band, and step responsethat will assist in the identificationof emerging valve problemsquickly and Valve Signature Diagnostic is used to:HEvaluate valve friction,deadband, and shutoff actuator spring rateand bench potential packing current condition to previous baseline Dynamic Error Band diagnosticis used to analyze hysteresis,deadband, and dynamic Step Response diagnostic allows you to evaluate how well the valve tracks an input change.

9 By minimizingdead time, deadband, and overshoot, process control is greatly enhanced. With the Step Response test you can:HValidate tuning a numerical analysis for overshoot, hysteresis, dead time,t63, and up to 11 the same time the instrument performs thepartial stroke test, AMS ValveLink Softwarealso gathers diagnostic data. Use this data toevaluate valve performance and determine ifmaintenance is ValveLinkR SoftwareProduct :ValveLinkMay 2005 8 Setup and Test FIELDVUER Instruments for SIS ApplicationsUse AMS ValveLink Software to setup and test the final control element in safety instrumented system applications. AMS ValveLink Software for SIS tiered digital valve controllers provides:HA Setup Wizard that sets up the digital valve controllerfor use in a Safety Instrumented capability to initiate a partial stroke test of the final control element without requiring a process shutdown.

10 Without disturbing the process, you can run a partial stroke test to prove the valve will respond on demand. Store partial stroke test results for future comparison and for statutory authorities. Every event performed with AMS ValveLink Software is logged with a time and date stamp to document that tests were run and how the valve assembly information to allow predictive maintenance of the final control element.
