Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to design and use advanced programming tools, personal computer (PC) networks and human-machine interface (HMI) in the design of computer applications for control processes. It includes preparing, developing and obtaining design approval for computer applications by designing control systems, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems. It also includes control programming methods, developing alternative design schemes based on design brief and customer relations and documenting design.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Prepare to design computer applications
  • 1.1 Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) processes and workplace procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and applied
  • 1.2 Hazards are identified, WHS/OHS risks assessed, and control measures and workplace procedures are implemented in preparation for work
  • 1.3 Scope of proposed control system is determined from the design brief and in consultation with relevant person/s
  • 1.4 Design development work is planned to meet scheduled design brief timelines in consultation with person/s involved on the worksite
2 Develop computer applications designfor control process
  • 2.1 Control devices, control systems and control programming methods are applied to the computer applications design
  • 2.2 Alternative concepts for the design are tested in accordance with the requirements outlined in the design brief
  • 2.3 Safety specifications and budget constraints are considered in the design process
  • 2.4 System design draft is checked for compliance with the design brief, relevant industry standards and regulatory requirements
  • 2.5 System design is documented for submission to relevant person/s for approval
  • 2.6 Solutions to unplanned situation are dealt with in a manner that minimises risk to personnel and equipment in accordance with workplace policies and procedures
3 Obtain designapproval for computer applications
  • 3.1 System design is presented and explained to client representative and/or relevant person/s
  • 3.2 Requests for alterations to design are negotiated with relevant person/s in accordance with workplace policy
  • 3.3 Final design is documented and approval obtained from relevant person/s
  • 3.4 Quality of work is monitored in accordance with performance agreement/specifications and/or workplace procedures or industry standards
