The Fi sher FIELDVUE DVC2000 HC is a compact, microprocessor-based digital valve controller that functions as a communicating current-to-pneumatic positioner. It converts a standard 4-20 mA input signal into a precise pneumatic output for control valve actuators while supporting HART communication for configuration, monitoring, and diagnostics.
This instrument level (HC) provides advanced configuration capabilities including travel limits and cutoffs, custom characterization, and minimum open/closing times. It features a linkage-less, non-contact magnetic Hall-effect feedback system that eliminates physical contact with the valve stem, reducing wear and simplifying mounting and maintenance. Setup and calibration can be performed via the local push-button LCD interface or through HART tools. An optional I/O package adds two integral limit switches and a position transmitter. The two-stage design delivers responsive control with low steady-state air consumption.

Used in process industries including chemical, oil and gas, power generation, refining, and general manufacturing for precise control of pneumatic actuated control valves.
Traditional positioners may suffer from linkage wear, complex mounting, or limited diagnostic visibility. The DVC2000 HC addresses these with its non-contact feedback system, simplified installation, local interface, and HART-based alerts for proactive monitoring.
Suitable as a replacement for conventional pneumatic or electro-pneumatic positioners and earlier digital controllers requiring HART communication and enhanced configuration options.
We supply genuine Fi sher FIELDVUE instruments and offer practical support for correct selection and application in control valve systems.
Typical production and delivery time is 6-8 weeks.
Please provide actuator type, mounting style, process conditions, required options (such as limit switches or transmitter), and quantity for a tailored quotation.
