Unit of competency
Modification History
Release 2. Quantum of hours of workplace practice removed. Supersedes and is equivalent to MEM18053 Modify fluid power control systems (Release 1).
Release 1. Supersedes and is equivalent to MEM18053B Modify fluid power control systems.
Application
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to check and test software programs, control system inputs and outputs, repair faulty system inputs and outputs, and prepare a service report.
It covers the skills required to alter the control parameters of fluid power control systems by system modification, this includes the ability to assess system performance based on sound working knowledge of established principles, methods and procedures.
System specifications are interpreted and understood from data sheets, circuit diagrams and flow diagrams.
Where equipment condition monitoring and recording only is required to be performed then unit MEM18010 Perform equipment condition monitoring and recording should also be selected.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
