Configure and maintain industrial control system networks

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to configure and maintain communication services on an industrial control system network.

It includes industrial control network topology and protocols, configuring data links, bus monitoring and system management and access, network testing and documenting system settings.

This unit applies to all aspects of electrotechnology – engineering applications only. For general competencies related to information technology (IT) refer to the latest endorsed ICT Information and Communications Technology Training Package.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)


Evidence Required

List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions on at least two separate occasions and include:

applying sustainable energy principles and practices

applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements

configuring and maintaining industrial control system networks

configuring access to control data and resources for each user

dealing with unplanned events/situations in accordance with workplace procedures in a manner that minimises risk to personnel and equipment

documenting network configuration and maintenance activities

determining industrial control system and network requirements and operating system versions and updates

identifying network malfunctions/faults

installing, upgrading and configuring control application network components correctly

rectifying network malfunctions/faults in accordance with workplace procedures

documenting control system network configuration and maintenance requirements

planning and preparing to configure and maintain industrial control system networks.

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions and include knowledge of:

bus monitor, including capturing and filtering

control system networks interface

data link layer

field bus message specification

high-speed ethernet and protocols

industrial control systems networks

network topology, including nodes and connecting lines

open and common proprietary control system networks models (layers) and protocols

purpose and application of control system networks systems

relevant job safety assessments or risk mitigation processes

relevant industry standards and protocols

relevant manufacturer specifications

relevant WHS/OHS legislated requirements

relevant workplace documentation

relevant workplace policies and procedures

sustainable energy principles and practices.

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment.

Assessment must occur in suitable workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated suitable workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions.

Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate.

Resources for assessment must include access to:

a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or simulations

relevant and appropriate materials, tools, facilities and equipment currently used in industry

resources that reflect current industry practices in relation to configuring and maintaining industrial control system networks

applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

Range is restricted to essential operating conditions and any other variables essential to the work environment.

Non-essential conditions may be found in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

Configuring and maintaining an industrial control system network must include the following:

at least two programable controllers

at least one human-machine interface (HMI)
