Description
1)1.1) DescriptorThis unit covers designing control systems using microcontrollers, or PCs or embedded signal processors (DSPs). It encompasses working safely, following design briefs and applying knowledge of embedded system devices, interpreting device specifications, constructing prototypes, using appropriate development software, applying programming techniques, testing developed system prototype operation, verifying compliance of the design against the final brief, and documenting design and development work.Note: This unit applies to all aspects of Electrotechnology - engineering applications only. For general competencies related to Information Technologies refer to the latest endorsed IT Training Package.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare to design and develop advance embedded systems.
  • 1.1 OHS processes and procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and understood.
  • 1.2 Established OHS risk control measures and procedures are followed in preparation for the work.
  • 1.3 The extent of the proposed embedded system development is determined from the design brief or in consultation with appropriate person(s).
  • 1.4 Design development work is planned to meet scheduled timelines in consultation with others involved on the work site.
  • 1.5 Materials and devices/components required for the work are selected on compatibility of their specifications with embedded system requirements and project budget constraints.
  • 1.6 Tools, equipment and testing devices needed to carry out the work are obtained and checked for correct operation and safety.
2 Design and develop advance embedded systems.
  • 2.1 OHS risk control work measures and procedures are followed.
  • 2.2 Knowledge of embedded devices and systems and compliance standards are applied to the design.
  • 2.3 Alternative arrangements for the design are considered based on the requirements outlined in the design brief.
  • 2.4 Safety, functional and budget considerations are incorporated in the design.
  • 2.5 Prototype devices and circuits are constructed and tested for compliance with the design brief and regulatory requirements.
  • 2.6 Prototype malfunctions are rectified and retested to ensure effective operation of design.
  • 2.7 Embedded system design is documented for submission to appropriate person(s) for approval.
  • 2.8 Solutions to unplanned situation are provided consistent with organisation policy.
3 Obtain approval for embedded systems design.
  • 3.1 Embedded system design is presented and explained to client representative and/or other relevant person(s).
  • 3.2 Requests for design modifications are negotiated with relevant person(s) within the constraints of organisation policy.
  • 3.3 Final design is documented and approval obtained from appropriate person(s).
  • 3.4 Quality of work is monitored against personal performance agreement and/or established organisational or professional standards.
