Unit of Competency MEM18053 - Modify fluid power control systems
Description
Employability Skills
Learning Outcomes and 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.Band: BUnit Weight: 6
Duration and Setting X weeks, nominally xx hours, delivered in a classroom/online/blended learning setting.

(add new lines for each of the assessment tasks)

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.

Control system includes one (1) or more of the following:

programmable controllers (PCs)

distributed control system (DCS)

relay logic (electric-hydraulic-pneumatic)

Modifications to program includes one (1) or more of the following:

software timers

gates

associated equipment

flow

ladder and logic diagrams

Fault-finding of system hardware input/outputs include one (1) or more of the following:

input/output circuitry

cards

external sensors

limits

mnemonic coding and 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.
