Formats and tools
- Unit Description
- Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
- Assessment Tool
- an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
- Assessment Template
- generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
- Assessment Matrix
- a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
- Wiki Markup
- mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
- Evidence Guide
- create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
- Competency Mapping Template
- Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
- Observation Checklist
- create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)
- Self Assessment Survey
- A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
- Moodle Outcomes
- Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x
- Registered Training Organisations
- Trying to find someone to train or assess you? This link lists all the RTOs that are currently registered to deliver FDFGR4001A, 'Control power and automation for milling processes'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Control power and automation for milling processes' on fishpond.com.au. This online store has a huge range of books, pretty reasonable prices, free delivery in Australia *and* they give a small commission to ntisthis.com for every purchase, so go nuts :)
Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Identify range of utilities and services used by mill | 1.1 Establish distributed services used in mill. 1.2 Ensure schematics showing location and distribution of services are available and understood by key personnel. 1.3 Categorise services as critical to mill operation or ancillary. 1.4 Develop contingency strategies in the event of failure of a critical service for the mill. |
2. Review mill electric power system for start-up and power demand management | 2.1 Identify mains supply terminal, input voltage and electricity supplier. 2.2 Identify mill transformers and distribution to sub-mains. 2.3 Identify back–up generation and supply system including automatic and manual operation conditions. 2.4 Identify location of mill equipment and areas supplied by each sub-main and switchboard. 2.5 Identify key features and requirements of installed electrical safety systems including lock off and isolation switches. 2.6 Obtain maximum demand and diversity factor (power factor correction) and identify implications for mill operations. 2.7 Establish motor control and start up procedures according to manufacturer, engineer and supply authority procedures. |
3. Review scope of hydrocarbon fuel use by mill | 3.1 Identify capacity and fuel use of any on-site boilers. 3.2 Identify emergency generators and their fuel source. 3.3 Identify other fuel powered equipment and processes. 3.4 Identify location of fuel reservoirs/tanks and review against mill strategy for the prevention of dust explosions. |
4. Identify type and location of mill controls | 4.1 Identify mill operations and equipment controlled automatically. 4.2 Identify mill operations and equipment controlled through central process control stations/ terminals. 4.3 Identify mill operations and equipment controlled manually. 4.4 Establish back up strategies for mill control in the event of failure of control equipment. |
5. Control pneumatic conveying system | 5.1 Determine processes where negative or positive pressure is required. 5.2 Monitor air speed and volume requirements for conveying tasks. 5.3 Select air speed and volume appropriate for exhausts. 5.4 Balance negative pressure systems. 5.5 Monitor for abnormal increases in blowline pressure. 5.6 Determine cleaning intervals for dust collectors. |
6. Control wheat damping and conditioning | 6.1 Monitor adequacy of water supply. 6.2 Determine if feedforward or feedback system is used. 6.3 Supervise moisture testing of wheat. 6.4 Set damping system controls for desired moisture level taking into account feed rate and lying in time. |
7. Establish strategies and practices for efficient use of power and automation | 7.1 Maximise throughput to mill capacity where possible. 7.2 Ensure manufacturers’ maintenance and lubrication schedules are followed. 7.3 Ensure standard operating procedures for controls and workstations are developed and up to date. |
