Unit of Competency | MEM234011A - Design programmable logic controller applications |
---|---|---|---|
Description | This unit of competency covers the design of an engineering application using a programmable logic controller (PLC). It includes sustainability implications, occupational health and safety (OHS) and automation safety. | ||
Employability Skills | This unit contains employability skills.. | ||
Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit applies to the control of machines, equipment or processes that may have thermodynamic, hydrodynamic, fluid power or mechanical system elements using a PLC. Control functions may be digital and analog and may include feedback. Network and remote control may be used. The unit is suitable for mechatronics and automated systems designers, systems maintenance, machine and process control, or computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) designers. Design activities may also include reverse engineering, and design rectification or modifications of an existing design. Prior experience in the evaluation of PLC systems, application of computing, controllers, mathematics, and basic electrical and electronics safety procedures is required. Additionally, experience in mechanical, fluid power, thermodynamic, manufacturing methods and processes may be required by particular system designs. | ||
