Modification History

Release 1. This is the first release of this unit of competency in the UEE Electrotechnology Training Package.

Performance Evidence

Evidence required to demonstrate competence in this unit must be relevant to and satisfy all of the requirements of the elements, performance criteria and range of conditions on at least two separate occasions and include:
applying relevant work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements, including identifying programmable logic controller (PLC) risk control measures connecting the PLC correcting programming anomalies dealing with unplanned situations in accordance with workplace procedures in a manner that minimises risk to persons and control equipment developing applications for PLC functions including operation and programming of inputs and outputs developing a control system solution to specified operating functions and parameters developing a PLC block diagram, including identifying industry standard PLC symbols documenting control system and programming identifying PLC modules and applications programming a PLC using industry standard methods such as master control, jump, shift register, step sequencing, timers and counters testing and verify control system inputs and outputs operation transferring programs to PLC documenting control system and programming clearly identifying non-compliance conditions of device installation converting control system to a PLC program entering programming functions and parameters correctly transferring program to external storage.

Assessment Conditions

Assessors must hold credentials specified within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment must satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence and all regulatory requirements included within the Standards for Registered Training Organisations current at the time of assessment. Assessment must occur in workplace operational situations where it is appropriate to do so; where this is not appropriate, assessment must occur in simulated workplace operational situations that replicate workplace conditions. Assessment processes and techniques must be appropriate to the language, literacy and numeracy requirements of the work being performed and the needs of the candidate. Resources for assessment must include access to: a range of relevant exercises, case studies and/or other simulations relevant and appropriate materials, tools, equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE) currently used in industry applicable documentation, including workplace procedures, equipment specifications, regulations, codes of practice and operation manuals.
