Energize to Trip and Fail Safe Open

Hello,

I'm working on a project and we are using Fisher DVC6200 SIS as the valve controller. For the blowdown valves the EPC has specified "energize to trip" valves. In the P&ID these valves are identified as "Fail Open". 

Reading through the documentation Quick start guide (D103556X012), on page 42 there is a functionality described as "Energize to Trip (ETT) Digital Valve Controller and De-Energize to Trip (DETT) Solenoid Valve".

My question is the following: does the "Energize to Trip (ETT) Digital Valve Controller and De-Energize to Trip (DETT) Solenoid Valve" is the equivalent of "Energize to trip and Fail Open"?

Regards,

Cristobal

    Cristobal,
    The Energize to Trip in the DVC6200SIS simply means
    1. 4mA input signal = full pneumatic output
    2. 20mA input signal = <1psi output
    If you need to further discuss please send me an email at stanley.af@emerson.com
    Regards,
    A. F. Stanley
