Product Overview
The Fisher FIELDVUE DVC6200HC Digital Valve Positioner is a communicating, microprocessor-based current-to-pneumatic instrument manufactured by Emerson under the Fisher brand. Engineered for both single-acting and double-acting pneumatic actuators, the DVC6200HC converts a standard 4 to 20 mA loop input into a modulated pneumatic output pressure to position control valve assemblies with extreme precision. The HC tier provides robust HART communication and point-to-point operational diagnostics, alongside active 4 to 20 mA analog position transmitter feedback for continuous supervisory status monitoring.
A core innovation of the DVC6200 series is its linkage-less, non-contact position feedback design. By utilizing a Hall-effect magnetic array mounted to the valve stem or shaft, the unit eliminates physical contact, connecting levers, and wearing mechanical linkages. This architecture prevents mechanical backlash, reduces vibration-induced wear, and ensures sustained accuracy over millions of operational cycles. Housed in a low-copper aluminium alloy enclosure with IP66 and NEMA 4X ratings, the DVC6200HC is certified for hazardous locations and SIL 3 safety instrumented systems across oil and gas refining, chemical processing, power generation, and offshore installations.

How do I find the right part for my system?
Three options. Search by part number if you have the OEM code from Parker, Danfoss, Linde, Kawasaki, Kayaba or Grundfos — our search recognises both manufacturer codes and aftermarket cross-references. Browse by category if you know the component type (pumps, valves, cylinders, etc.). Or send a spec sheet to our engineering desk and we'll cross-reference against our 3,000+ SKU catalogue within one business day.
Can you help me size a pump or valve for my application?
Yes — sizing support is included with every order. Send us your operating pressure, flow rate, viscosity, drive speed and duty cycle, and our engineers will recommend a suitable component from our catalogue with full datasheets. We don't custom-build parts ourselves, but we can spec the right OEM component for almost any standard industrial application.
Can you cross-reference a discontinued part?
Yes — cross-referencing is one of the things we do most. Send us the original part number (even if the manufacturer has dropped it) and our engineering desk will identify a current equivalent or compatible alternative. Cross-reference lookups are free and typically come back within 4 business hours.
