Product Introduction
The DS200SHVMG1A is an enhanced servo valve condition monitoring board for GE’s Mark V DS200 series, used in Speedtronic turbine control systems. It adds HART digital communication to the base SHVMG1, allowing remote configuration, data logging, and predictive analytics.
The “A” revision upgrades the base monitor with HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) communication over the 4–20 mA feedback loop. Configure alarm thresholds, read valve health index, retrieve cycle count, and export diagnostic data logs remotely from the control room. Includes 1,000-point data logging (time-stamped) for valve position, drive current, and calculated health. Use it for fleet-wide valve condition monitoring without visiting each cabinet.

Key Selling Points & Differentiators
- HART digital communication – Configure thresholds and retrieve data remotely over existing 4–20 mA feedback loop. No additional wiring.
- Data logging (1,000 points) – Logs valve position, drive current, and health index at configurable intervals (1–60 minutes). Download via HART for trend analysis.
- Predictive maintenance alerts – Alarm when stiction exceeds threshold (2–20% adjustable via HART). Schedule valve service before failure.
- Health index trending – Track valve degradation over time. 4–20 mA analog output for connection to DCS, plus digital readout via HART.
- Cycle counter with time-stamp – Records total cycles and last cycle time. Know when valve reaches service interval.
- Remote threshold configuration – Set alarm limits for deadband, response time, position deviation, and current deviation via HART communicator or PC.
- Non-intrusive monitoring – Pass-through design (0.1% burden). Does not affect control loop.
- QC includes HART communication verification – Read/write all configurable parameters, verify data log retrieval.
- 2-year warranty
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the difference between SHVMG1 (base) and SHVMG1A (HART-enabled)?
| Feature | SHVMG1 | SHVMG1A |
|---|---|---|
| Configuration method | DIP switches (4) | HART (digital) |
| Adjustable thresholds | Limited (4 fixed levels) | Full range (2–20% via HART) |
| Data logging | No | Yes (1,000 points) |
| Remote diagnostics | No | Yes (via HART) |
| Health index output | 4–20 mA analog | 4–20 mA + HART |
| Cycle count retrieval | Push-button or external signal | HART (remote) |
| Logging interval | N/A | Configurable 1–60 min |
Q: How do I connect a HART communicator to the board?
A: Connect across the 4–20 mA feedback loop terminals. The board has a switchable 250Ω resistor for HART communication. Default: internal resistor enabled. Connect communicator leads to the “HART” terminals (or across feedback input). Communicator must support HART 5, 6, or 7.
Q: Can I use the SHVMG1A without HART (as a standard monitor)?
A: Yes. The board ships with default thresholds: deadband 5%, response time 500 ms, position deviation 10%, current deviation 10%. Health index output (4–20 mA) and alarm relay operate without HART. Use it as a standalone monitor. Configure thresholds via HART if needed.
Q: How do I download the data log?
A: Connect PC with included USB-to-HART modem. Run provided software. Select “Download Log”. Board transmits 1,000 time-stamped records (position, current, health index). Export to CSV for analysis in Excel or trending software.
Q: What is the logging interval, and how long does it cover?
A: Configurable via HART: 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60 minutes. At 1-minute interval, log covers 16.7 hours. At 60-minute interval, log covers 1,000 hours (41.7 days). Set interval based on valve criticality and expected degradation rate.
Q: Does HART communication affect the analog 4–20 mA health index output?
A: No. The health index output is a separate analog signal (4–20 mA) from a dedicated DAC. HART is on the feedback input loop only (or can be on a separate HART loop). The health index output remains pure analog.
Q: What is the stick-slip detection algorithm?
A: The board analyzes the feedback signal during small step changes. It calculates the deadband (drive current change with no position change) and overshoot after breakaway. Thresholds configurable via HART (2–20% of span). This is the same algorithm used in Fisher ValveLink diagnostics.
Q: What QC tests are specific to the SHVMG1A?
A: Eleven tests:
- Drive current accuracy: 0–200 mA, error <±1%
- Feedback accuracy: 4–20 mA, error <±0.5%
- HART physical layer: 1200/2200 Hz FSK, amplitude 0.5–1.0 V p-p
- HART command set: read/write thresholds, read logs (50+ commands)
- Data logging: write 1,000 points, read back, verify integrity
- Stiction detection via HART: configurable thresholds 2–20%, verify accuracy ±0.5%
- Health index output: 0–100% in 10% steps, error <±0.2 mA
- Alarm relay: verify closure per HART-configured thresholds
- Isolation: alarm relay to logic at 1800 VAC
- Logging interval accuracy: set to 10 minutes, verify 10 ±0.5 minutes
- Burn-in: 72 hours at +65°C, continuous monitoring with HART polling every 10 seconds
Q: What shipping protection?
A: Anti-static bag, ESD foam cradle, double-wall box with “ESD SENSITIVE,” “FRAGILE” labels. Each board ships individually. USB-to-HART modem and USB drive (with software) in separate anti-static bag. PC connection cable included. Configuration guide (including HART command set) included. Spare fuse included. External power supply not included (order separately)
