Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Prepare to develop an integrated system
  2. Program integrated system devices
  3. Load and test integrated system

Performance Evidence

Evidence of ability to:

Comply with standards, regulations and work health and safety (WHS) procedures and practices when developing an integrated system

communicate with customers

determine the full scope of specifications for an integrated digital reception system

use calculations to correctly determine the number of network and current requirements

place system devices appropriately in system scheme

apply and check appropriate modes of programming and diagnostic tools in the design

program devices and set load operating parameters according to manufacturer specifications

use diagnostic tools to locate and correct system defects, faults and anomalies

document and backup system during appropriate stages of the project.

Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided at least once.


Knowledge Evidence

To complete the unit requirements safely and effectively, the individual must:

describe the applications and advantages of integrated systems

identify the bus system cable type, polarity, length and acceptable topologies

describe the process of controlling digital system integration (DSI) and communicating with digital addressable lighting interface (DALI) electronic ballasts

identify factors that affect control bus stability, including number of units on a network, and current drawn by devices in relation to current output of power supplies

define the operating parameters of integrated systems and programming to an extent indicated by:

importance of project documentation and backup

importance of location of output and input devices and control bus power supplies

describe lighting dimmer capabilities and selection

determine the low voltage (LV) supply overcurrent and surge protection

describe multiple network connectivity

identify the software used for system and device programming, monitoring and control

explain system and device programming, encompassing:

addressing conventions for networks, devices, applications, output groups, types of control and outputs, which include ‘on’, ‘off’, a specific level, and over a specific time

PC programming tools and methods (programming includes configuring network database using addressing tools and objects, function objects, editing, altering and transferring the database to network)

identify and describe system fault-finding processes

determine the system components, encompassing:

support devices for control bus supply and control

support devices for programming, interconnection between networks and integration with third party systems

describe the types and capabilities of input and output devices.
