Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to diagnose and rectify faults in digital controls systems.It includes preparing, diagnosing and rectifying faults. It also includes completing and reporting fault diagnosis, interpreting diagrams and technical data, applying knowledge of digital systems to logical fault-finding processes, implementing fault rectification, and safety and functional testing.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare to diagnose and rectify faults
  • 1.1 Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and workplace procedures are identified and applied.
  • 1.2 Hazards are identified, risks are assessed and control measures implemented
  • 1.3 Safety hazards not previously identified are reported on job safety assessment and advice on risk control measures is sought from relevant person/s
  • 1.4 Extent of work is determined from reports, other documentation and discussions with appropriate person/s
  • 1.5 Appropriate person/s are consulted to ensure work is coordinated effectively with others
  • 1.6 Tools, equipment and testing devices required for diagnosing faults are obtained in accordance with workplace procedures and checked for correct operation and safety
2 Diagnose and rectify faults
  • 2.1 WHS/OHS risk control measures and procedures for carrying out the work are followed
  • 2.2 Need to test or measure live electrical components is determined in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 2.3 Circuits/machines/plant are checked and isolated in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 2.4 Logical diagnostic methods are applied to diagnose electronic control system apparatus faults by employing measurements and estimations of system operating parameters
  • 2.5 Scenarios are tested as suspected cause of system faults
  • 2.6 Fault causes are identified and relevant person/s engaged where fault is outside scope of digital subsystems
  • 2.7 Faults in electronic components of control system are rectified
  • 2.8 System is tested and verified as operating to specified job requirements
  • 2.9 Unplanned situations are responded to in accordance with workplace procedures in a manner that minimises risk to personnel and equipment
  • 2.10 Methods for dealing with unplanned situations are selected based on safety and specified work outcomes
  • 2.11 Diagnosis and rectification work activities are performed using sustainable energy principles and practices without wasting materials, damaging apparatus, the surrounding environment or services
3 Complete and report fault diagnosis and rectification activities
  • 3.1 WHS/OHS work completion risk control measures and workplace procedures are followed
  • 3.2 Worksite is made safe in accordance with workplace safety procedures
  • 3.3 Rectification of faults is documented in accordance with workplace procedures
  • 3.4 Relevant person/s is notified of system fault rectification in accordance with workplace procedures
