Formats and tools
- Unit Description
- Reconstruct the unit from the xml and display it as an HTML page.
- Assessment Tool
- an assessor resource that builds a framework for writing an assessment tool
- Assessment Template
- generate a spreadsheet for marking this unit in a classroom environment. Put student names in the top row and check them off as they demonstrate competenece for each of the unit's elements and performance criteria.
- Assessment Matrix
- a slightly different format than the assessment template. A spreadsheet with unit names, elements and performance criteria in separate columns. Put assessment names in column headings to track which performance criteria each one covers. Good for ensuring that you've covered every one of the performance criteria with your assessment instrument (all assessement tools together).
- Wiki Markup
- mark up the unit in a wiki markup codes, ready to copy and paste into a wiki page. The output will work in most wikis but is designed to work particularly well as a Wikiversity learning project.
- Evidence Guide
- create an evidence guide for workplace assessment and RPL applicants
- Competency Mapping Template
- Unit of Competency Mapping – Information for Teachers/Assessors – Information for Learners. A template for developing assessments for a unit, which will help you to create valid, fair and reliable assessments for the unit, ready to give to trainers and students
- Observation Checklist
- create an observation checklist for workplace assessment and RPL applicants. This is similar to the evidence guide above, but a little shorter and friendlier on your printer. You will also need to create a seperate Assessor Marking Guide for guidelines on gathering evidence and a list of key points for each activity observed using the unit's range statement, required skills and evidence required (see the unit's html page for details)
- Self Assessment Survey
- A form for students to assess thier current skill levels against each of the unit's performance criteria. Cut and paste into a web document or print and distribute in hard copy.
- Moodle Outcomes
- Create a csv file of the unit's performance criteria to import into a moodle course as outcomes, ready to associate with each of your assignments. Here's a quick 'how to' for importing these into moodle 2.x
- Registered Training Organisations
- Trying to find someone to train or assess you? This link lists all the RTOs that are currently registered to deliver MEM18060B, 'Maintain, repair control instrumentation - single and multiple loop control systems'.
- Google Links
- links to google searches, with filtering in place to maximise the usefulness of the returned results
- Books
- Reference books for 'Maintain, repair control instrumentation - single and multiple loop control systems' on fishpond.com.au. This online store has a huge range of books, pretty reasonable prices, free delivery in Australia *and* they give a small commission to ntisthis.com for every purchase, so go nuts :)
Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT | PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1. Determine control loop operating characteristics | 1.1. Engineering specifications, technical information and historical trends are examined for relevant data. 1.2. System specifications, operational data and other relevant data sources are examined, read, interpreted and relevant conclusions are noted. 1.3. Consultation with system operators and other relevant plant personnel is carried out, and relevant data is extracted and documented by appropriate means. 1.4. Using knowledge of all control loop device characteristics, controller mode principles and adjustment methods, operation of the system is observed. 1.5. Appropriate test equipment and testing procedures are used. 1.6. Fault finding and diagnostic techniques are utilised. 1.7. Relevant data is collected by appropriate means from all sources including maintenance records, fault indicators, charts, error codes operational symptoms, observation monitoring and consultation with appropriate personnel. |
2. Monitor and record operation of a control loop | 2.1. Pneumatic, electrical and electronic circuit diagrams are interpreted and understood. 2.2. Using knowledge of all control loop device characteristics, controller mode principles and calibration/adjustment methods, loop operation from the controller response to set point and manual output changes using correct test equipment, principles and procedures are check tested and monitored. 2.3. Software configuration data for digital control systems is interpreted. 2.4. Operational responses are monitored and recorded by appropriate means. 2.5. Fault finding and diagnostic techniques are utilised throughout checking and testing procedures including simple and multi-controller type control schemes. 2.6. Diagnostic results and conclusions are analysed against predetermined operational specifications. |
3. Localise fault condition | 3.1. Circuits are tested to the level necessary to identify and localise faults. 3.2. Drawings/diagrams and operational testing data are utilised in identifying and localising fault conditions. 3.3. Fault condition is localised and verified to major component level using appropriate test equipment, principles and procedures. |
4. Replace or repair faulty condition | 4.1. Components are dismantled for repair or replacement using appropriate tools, equipment and procedures. 4.2. Replaceable items are selected from manufacturers' catalogues, spare parts lists, or data sheets. 4.3. Serviceable items are repaired using correct principles, tools, equipment and procedures. 4.4. Repaired and replaceable items are reassembled using appropriate tools, equipment, techniques and procedures. |
5. Calibrate and adjust control instrumentation | 5.1. Panel mounted, split architecture single loop/multiple loop control instruments are calibrated and adjusted using correct calibration principles, equipment and methods for all devices according to manufacturers' instructions. 5.2. Adjust controller modes and actions are adjusted according to specifications. 5.3. Zero span and range checks are undertaken using correct and appropriate configuration. 5.4. Correct and appropriate procedures, techniques, tools and equipment are used to make final adjustments to control instrumentation to specifications. |
6. Complete service reports and recommission | 6.1. Service reports are completed to standard operating procedures. 6.2. Appropriate follow-up procedures are adopted. 6.3. Control instrumentation is recommissioned to standard operating procedures. |
