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 MEM18067B, 'Tune control loops - multi controller or multi element systems'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Tune control loops - multi controller or multi element systems' 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. Determine control loop characteristics | 1.1. Engineering specifications, technical information and historical process, records and trends are examined for relevant data. 1.2. Consultation with system operators and other relevant plant personnel is carried out, and relevant data is extracted and documented to standard operating procedures. 1.3. Programmed maintenance/service reports are read and relevant data noted. 1.4. Data is analysed and control loop characteristics are ascertained. |
2. Record control loop responses | 2.1. Using chart recorders and data loggers, control loop responses are recorded in open and closed loop mode. 2.2. Unit is tested for tuning using appropriate diagnostic techniques. 2.3. Diagnostic results are analysed against specifications. |
3. Tune control loops | 3.1. Using knowledge of control loop device characteristics, controller mode principles and adjustment methods, tuning operations are performed using correct and appropriate techniques, procedures and equipment. 3.2. Recording equipment used for monitoring and adjustment of control loop components during controller tuning operations is corrected and tested. 3.3. Step response - open loop tuning calculations are applied to achieve specified loop characteristics. 3.4. Closed loop tuning methods using ultimate sensitivity and systematic trials are used to achieve specified loop characteristics. 3.5. Correct sequence of tuning is used on multi controllers and/or multi element systems to achieve specified characteristics. 3.6. Control loops are tuned to optimum mode settings utilising correct and appropriate techniques, tools, test equipment and procedures. |
4. Complete service reports | 4.1. Service reports are completed to standard operating procedures. 4.2. Appropriate follow up procedures are adopted. 4.3. Process control loop is recommissioned to specifications. |
