Issue Date: May 2024
This unit 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/understood from data sheets, circuit diagrams and flow diagrams. Corrections, modifications/alterations are undertaken to specifications to parts of the control system including software timers, gates, associated equipment, flow, ladder and logic diagrams. Fault finding of system hardware input/outputs includes input/output circuitry, cards, external sensors, limits, mnemonic coding and associated equipment. Service reports are prepared according to standard operating procedure. Programmable controllers include PLC and DCS or similar.
