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 UEENEED009B, 'Develop, enter and verify programs for industrial control systems using high level instructions'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Develop, enter and verify programs for industrial control systems using high level instructions' 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 | Prepare to develop industrial control systems programs. | 1.1 | OHS procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and understood through established routines and procedures. |
1.2 | Established OHS risk control measures and procedures are followed in preparation for the work. | ||
1.3 | Mode of operation of the control system is determined from job specifications of the process/plant/machine to be controlled, and through consultation with appropriate person(s). | ||
1.4 | Equipment, software and testing devices needed to carry out the work are obtained and checked for correct operation and safety. | ||
1.5 | Installation of programmable controller is checked for compliance with regulations and job specification. | ||
2 | Develop and enter and programs for industrial control systems. | 2.1 | Established OHS risk control measures and procedures for carrying out the work are followed. |
2.2 | Control solutions are developed and documented based on the operational mode and using acceptable methods for designing control system that contain numeric variables and values. | ||
2.3 | Developed control system is converted to an appropriate form, such as flow, state and ladder diagrams, using a personal computer and software applicable to the programmable controller into which the program is to be entered. | ||
2.4 | Programming elements are written and used to manipulate word data. (See Note 1) | ||
2.5 | Program control values are assigned using an applicable numbering system and code. (See Note 2) | ||
2.6 | Programs are written to read and write analog signals offset using applicable software tools. | ||
2.7 | Arithmetic functions are used to scale analog inputs to a specified span. | ||
2.8 | Program is entered into the programmable control using a personal computer and appropriate software. | ||
2.9 | Methods for dealing with unexpected situations are selected on the basis of safety and specified work outcomes. | ||
3 | Monitor, verify and document programming activities. | 3.1 | Device operation is tested in strict accordance OHS requirements and procedures. |
3.2 | Entered instructions and settings are tested as meeting those specified for the control mode requirements. | ||
3.3 | Appropriate methods and tools are used to test and monitor control programs and operating faults, anomalies are identified and rectified. (See Note 3) | ||
3.4 | OHS work completion risk control measures and procedures are followed. | ||
3.5 | Control system specification and program are documented in accordance with established procedures. | ||
Notes. 2. Examples are binary and signed binary, numbering systems and codes such as BCD or ASCII codes 3. Examples of control program testing and monitoring methods and tools are locating status bits (flags); examining and modifying watchdog timer; investigating the implications of rung positioning in relation to scan. | |||
