Maintain/calibrate complex control systems
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024
This unit applies to localising the fault condition; repairing or replacing faulty condition; calibrating, configuring and adjusting complex control systems; and recommissioning the system.
It extends to the use of pneumatic analog and digital test and recording equipment for the calibration, configuration and testing of multiple loop control systems including pneumatic, analog electronics, distributed PLC and computer-based control systems which include supervisory mode.
Work is to be undertaken autonomously or in a team environment in consultation with appropriate personnel, using predetermined standards of quality, safety and workshop procedures.
Tasks are to be undertaken in workshop or on-site environments and involve the interpretation of manuals, specifications and diagrams, including pneumatic, electrical, electronic and logic diagrams, as well as program listings and configuration data for control system devices.
Control strategies include: ratio, cascade, selector, duplex, feed forward, adaptive, dynamic compensations, computations, energy management and environmental control/systems.
Unit MEM05002B (Perform high reliability soldering and desoldering) must also be selected if soldering of components is required to advanced or military specifications, where the reliability of electrical connections is critical, or where surface mounted devices are being soldered/de-soldered.
Band: B
Unit Weight: 8
This unit covers determining system specification and control loop characteristics, and testing, monitoring and recording system operation.
