Set up and adjust advanced PID process control loops

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to set up and adjust advanced proportional-integral-derivative (PID) process control loops.

It includes working safely and to standards, following set-up and adjustment procedures, applying knowledge of process requirements, testing and reporting.

Permits may be required for some work environments, such as confined spaces, working aloft, near live electrical apparatus and site rehabilitation.

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 and performance criteria on at least two separate occasions and include:

adjusting control loops to satisfy process demand and quality

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

risk control measures

carrying out tuning without waste of materials or damage to apparatus, the surrounding environment or services using sustainable energy principles

connecting and setting up testing/measuring devices

dealing with unplanned situations with the approval of authorised person/s

determining control set-point and adjusting control loop in accordance with relevant industry standards and process specifications

determining the need to inspect, test and measure live work

documenting control loop settings in accordance with workplace procedures

identifying advanced control loop parameters

inspecting and isolating circuits/machines/plant

inspecting quality of process output to ensure control loop is tuned

obtaining tools, equipment and testing devices required for work

preparing to tune control loops with advanced functions

tuning control loop for advanced functions.

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

configuration of advanced control loops, including cascade, ratio and feed forward

inspection and testing procedures

isolation procedures

problem-solving techniques

relevant advanced control loop parameters

relevant advanced process control, including:

connection of controllers

process controllers

testing of control modes

tuning and installation of control loops

relevant industry standards

relevant job safety assessments or risk mitigation processes

relevant manufacturer specifications and operating instructions

relevant testing/measuring devices

relevant WHS/OHS legislated requirements

relevant workplace documentation

relevant workplace quality, instructions, policies and procedures.

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 setting up advanced process measuring and control instruments

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.

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
