Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and Application This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to design and use advanced programming tools, personal computer (PC) networks and human-machine interface (HMI) in the design of computer applications for control processes. It includes preparing, developing and obtaining design approval for computer applications by designing control systems, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems. It also includes control programming methods, developing alternative design schemes based on design brief and customer relations and documenting design.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

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 design a computer-based control system

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

Element: Quality of work is monitored in accordance with performance agreement/specifications and/or workplace procedures or industry standards
       


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

designing a programmable logic controller (PLC) computer-based control system

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

developing computer applications design

obtaining design approval for computer applications

planning and preparing to design of computer application for control processes

testing design concepts by real or virtual prototyping, where it cannot be shown easily by other means, and confirming that particular aspects of the design meet specified requirements.

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:

alternative/enhancing programming methods

bus monitor, including capturing and filtering

communications methods and requirements, including:

common protocols and interface standards

communication mediums

network types and topologies

peer to peer networks

remote input/output (I/O)

requirements when networking/interfacing PLCs

high-speed ethernet specification/requirements

intelligent terminals/graphic interfaces installation and communication requirements

proportional integral derivative (PID) computer-based control system and system applications

relevant manufacturer specifications

relevant job safety assessments or risk mitigation processes

relevant specialist instructions, including interrupt driven applications, high-speed counters and positional encoders

relevant WHS/OHS legislated requirements

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 Companion Volume Implementation Guide.

Designing a computer-based control system must include at least two of the following:

configure and test a PLC peer to peer network

configure and test a PLC hierarchical network

configure and test a PLC field bus style network

develop PLC code using a structured text programming tool

develop PLC code using a sequential function chart programming tool

design a simple HMI interface using a typical touch screen device

use system diagnostics to fault find hardware/software issues

program and test a proportional integral derivative (PID) functional control/program block

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.
