Description
This unit covers planning the commissioning procedure, assessing the control system performance, adjusting the control system, and undertaking commissioning modifications.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Plan commissioning procedure
- 1.1. Control system format and operational intent is determined and understood.
- 1.2. Commissioning procedures are effectively sequenced to meet requirement of components and control application.
2. Check control system installation
- 2.1. Correct installation of system components is verified against specifications.
- 2.2. Appropriate test equipment is functional and calibrated before use.
- 2.3. Components or control loop/system is powered up and checked for correct supply in accordance with specifications.
- 2.4. All readings/measurements are correctly obtained, interpreted and recorded.
3. Adjust control system and assess performance
- 3.1. Control loop/system components are adjusted to meet control characteristics, application and process specifications utilising appropriate techniques.
- 3.2. Final verifications including any operational adjustments are made to ensure required performance.
4. Commission modifications
- 4.1. Necessary modifications to change performance in order to meet manufacturers' or operational specifications or safety and legislative requirements are undertaken or actioned.
- 4.2. Reports on system/process characteristics are provided for warranty, handover, legislative, etc. purposes.
- 4.3. All modifications are documented and result is recorded to standard operating procedures.
RANGE STATEMENT
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included.
Commissioning
Commissioning involves the development of a commissioning procedure, testing of operation and adjustment to conform to specification
Control system
Control systems can mean closed or open loop on continuous or step process control systems. Loop/system control can incorporate the use of pneumatics, electrical, electronics, hydraulics or a combination
System components
Control loop/system components incorporate all instruments and devices which make up or control a loop/system, including sensing devices, control devices, actuators and transducers

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to modify control systems. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied.
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate.
This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with modification of control systems or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit.
Method of assessment
Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials.
