Tips for gathering evidence to demonstrate your skills

The important thing to remember when gathering evidence is that the more evidence the better - that is, the more evidence you gather to demonstrate your skills, the more confident an assessor can be that you have learned the skills not just at one point in time, but are continuing to apply and develop those skills (as opposed to just learning for the test!). Furthermore, one piece of evidence that you collect will not usualy demonstrate all the required criteria for a unit of competency, whereas multiple overlapping pieces of evidence will usually do the trick!

MEM29005 - Diagnose faults in digital control systems

What evidence can you provide to prove your understanding of each of the following citeria?

Prepare to diagnose digital control systems faults

  1. Identify diagnostic procedures from control system supplier documentation, plant and process documentation, work request, or discussion with relevant personnel
  2. Consult with appropriate personnel to ensure planned work is coordinated effectively with others and system downtime is minimised
  3. Identify sources of materials and components in case replacements are required as a result of fault diagnosis
  4. Ensure appropriate tools and equipment for the digital control system are selected and serviceable

Apply diagnostic techniques to digital control systems

  1. Apply relevant WHS and regulatory procedures and risk control measures associated with diagnostic procedures
  2. Determine the need to observe, test or measure the system live and arrange access if required
  3. Perform diagnostic processes and techniques efficiently to minimise disruption, wastage and downtime
  4. Isolate control system circuits where required according to manufacturer’s instructions and standard operating procedures (SOPs)
  5. Check for faults in components in a systematic manner with reference to the required operating functions and parameters
  6. Log faults according to SOPs
