Product Bulletin Reduce Commissioning Time Save time by using the configuration and calibration capabilities of AMS ValveLink Software to perform these commissioning tasks online: Automatically calibrate travel. Verify dynamic response to input changes. Setup Wizard walks you step-by-step through instrument setup and calibration. Setup Wizard asks basic questions about the valve and actuator to simplify and speed commissioning. You can even customize the Setup Wizard so that: Instrument configurations are optimized for specific applications. Alert points, travel cutoffs, travel limits, and characterization are consistently applied. Manual entry is eliminated. The Setup Wizard makes setting up your valves fast and easy Automatically Optimize Valve Performance The Performance Tuner lets you easily adjust a FIELDVUE digital valve controller for optimum performance. When mounting a FIELDVUE digital valve controller, to either a Fisher or a non-fisher valve, the Performance Tuner can optimize valve performance for you. Realize the Full Potential of the FIELDVUE Digital Valve Controllers with and FIELDVUE Diagnostics Performance Diagnostics Predictive in-service diagnostics for monitoring the health of the valve assembly and customized diagnostics for advanced troubleshooting. The predictive in-service diagnostics may be used to help detect problems with air leakage, valve assembly friction and deadband, instrument air quality, loose connections, supply pressure restriction, and valve assembly calibration. When a problem is identified, the diagnostic provides a description and severity of the problem, a probable cause, and recommended action. In-service diagnostics for troubleshooting allow custom diagnostics to be set up to collect data at a high-frequency collection rate and present the data in a graphical format. When an issue is so complex that external expertise is required, the data may be exported from the custom diagnostic and sent to an expert for evaluation, thereby minimizing the need for an on-site visit. Performance Diagnostics tests are available upon user request or a pre-selected daily, weekly, or monthly schedule without user intervention. 5
Product Bulletin Provide Real-Time Notification of Current and Potential Valve and Instrument Problems. Performance Diagnostics enables the use of diagnostics while the valve is in-service and operating. Tests can be performed to identify problems with the entire control valve assembly, such as: Red/Yellow/Green condition indicator, including: I/P and Relay Integrity Supply Pressure Relay Adjustment Air Mass Flow Travel deviation 1-Button Sweep Friction and Deadband Trending Performance Diagnostics are available upon user request or may be scheduled to automatically run on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Performance Diagnostics provide on-line / in-service predictive diagnostics to identify faults and list possible causes and recommended corrective actions for each fault. 6
Product Bulletin Advanced Diagnostics FIELDVUE Advanced Diagnostics vary the digital valve controller set point and plot valve operation to provide insight into the dynamic performance of the valve/actuator assembly. Advanced Diagnostics include out-of-service diagnostics such as valve signature, dynamic error band, and step response that will assist in the identification of emerging valve problems quickly and accurately. ZOOM IN TO EXAMINE VALVE MOVEMENT AND OTHER DETAILS The Valve Signature Diagnostic is used to: Evaluate valve friction, deadband, and shutoff capability. Calculate actuator spring rate and bench set. Identify potential packing problems. Compare current condition to previous baseline condition. The Dynamic Error Band diagnostic is used to analyze hysteresis, deadband, and dynamic error. Diagnostic tests help you detect emerging valve repair requirements before they impact performance. This enables you to set up a schedule to do predictive maintenance rather than preventive maintenance The Step Response diagnostic allows you to evaluate how well the valve tracks an input change. By minimizing dead time, deadband, and overshoot, process control is greatly enhanced. With the Step Response test you can: Validate tuning parameters. Obtain a numerical analysis for overshoot, hysteresis, dead time, t63, and t86. Define up to 11 steps. A Performance step test provides a predefined sequence of 29 steps. This test allows the user to quickly evaluate valve and actuator response to signal change and determine maximum deadband. Use the step response test to verify instrument tuning and valve response to signal changes 7
Product Bulletin Setup and Test FIELDVUE Instruments for SIS Applications Use 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: A Setup Wizard that sets up the digital valve controller for use in a Safety Instrumented System. The capability to initiate a partial stroke test of the final control element without requiring a process shutdown. 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 study. Documentation 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 responded. At the same time the instrument performs the partial stroke test, AMS ValveLink Software also gathers diagnostic data. Use this data to evaluate valve performance and determine if maintenance is required. Diagnostic information to allow predictive maintenance of the final control element. No need to unnecessarily shutdown the process to perform maintenance on the safety shutdown valve. Event Messenger capability to send notification via email, pager, or cell phone if a specific alert, or set of alerts, occurs on a predefined set of safety shutdown valves. Schedule Performance Diagnostics and SIS Partial Stroke Diagnostics With Scheduler, you can schedule Performance Diagnostics and SIS Partial Stroke diagnostics to run on a recurring daily, weekly, or monthly schedule that you specify. A summary of the outcome of scheduled tasks is available from within Scheduler and for complete details you may view the resulting diagnostic graphs and analyses. If you are using the AMS ValveLink SNAP-ON, any resulting alerts will be visible from within the AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager Audit Log, the AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager Alert Monitor, and the AMS Suite: Asset Portal. 8
Product Bulletin Automate Repetitive Actions by Setting up Batches Use Batch Runner to automate diagnostic tests and other repetitive activities With Batch Runner, you can setup AMS ValveLink Software to automatically run diagnostics tests, calibrate, or upload configuration data to multiple valves with a user specified routine. During a turnaround or production change, you can upload configurations, run the Performance Tuner to optimize tuning, or even reset the instrument clock without any interaction by personnel. Batch Runner reduces redundancy and increases consistency by allowing the user to setup a batch once, and repeatedly run that set of actions on different groups of valve assemblies. Use Signature Series Tests to Benchmark Valve Performance Current diagnostic tests can be overlaid with Signature Series tests performed by the factory when the valve was manufactured. ValveLink Signature Series tests are performed on Fisher control valves equipped with the FIELDVUE digital valve controller when specified as part of the original valve order. To order Signature Series testing, simply specify your Signature Series testing requirements on all Fisher control valve orders. By importing Signature Series data into AMS ValveLink Software, you can compare the as-shipped performance with the valve s current operating condition. Reports Reports may be generated that contain many different elements, including the Performance Diagnostics and Advanced Diagnostics. These reports can be generated from various locations in AMS ValveLink Software.
