- 1.3 Program is downloaded in accordance with manufacturers' recommended procedure or appropriate standard operating procedures and OHS practices
- 1.4 Checks are undertaken appropriately during and after downloading to ensure data transfer is accurate and complete
- 1.5 All external program loading devices and connections are disconnected from process and machine control system
2 Commission automatic process and machine control program
- 2.1 Program format and operational intent is accurately determined and correctly understood
- 2.2 Program instructions are checked for compliance with specifications
- 2.3 Software timers are counter set to specification, where required
- 2.4 Program is stepped through manually and outputs are checked and measured for compliance with specifications
- 2.5 External inputs are checked for compliance with specifications, according to specified procedures
- 2.6 Program is run and total operation is checked for compliance with specifications, where applicable
- 2.7 Confirmation of program master copy storage is assessed
3 Maintain records
