Maintain fluid power controls

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to install and repair and/or rectify fluid power controls, and adjust fluid power system control sequence and operation.

It covers fault-finding of fluid power systems control circuits, maintaining and repairing or replacing system control components, and checking and adjusting the sequence of fluid power system controls. System circuit/components are identified, traced, inspected and operational function is assessed and verified using fluid power principles to predetermined specifications interpreted from data sheets and circuit diagrams.

Where skills beyond the sequencing of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) are required unit MEM10004 Enter and change programmable controller operational parameters and unit MEM10005 Commission programmable controller programs, should be selected as appropriate.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Fluid power systems control sequencing includes one (1) or more of the following:

PLCs

relay logic control systems

unitised/modular sensors

transducers

timers

counters

associated equipment

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
