Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to design electronic control systems.It includes working safely, following design brief, applying knowledge of digital and analogue devices, interpreting device specifications, constructing prototypes, using appropriate development software, applying programming techniques, testing developed system prototype operation and documenting design and development work.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1 Identify electronic control system requirements
  • 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 the proposed electronic control system is determined from design brief in consultation with appropriate person/s
  • 1.4 Design of electronic control system development work is planned to meet scheduled timelines in consultation with person/s involved on the worksite
  • 1.5 Materials and devices/components required for work are determined on compatibility of their specifications with control system requirements and project budget constraints
2 Design electronic control system
  • 2.1 WHS/OHS risk control work measures and workplace procedures are followed
  • 2.2 Digital and analogue device elements used in control systems and relevant industry standards are applied to the design specification
  • 2.3 Alternative design/s is considered based on the design brief
  • 2.4 Safety, functional and budget considerations are incorporated in the design specification
  • 2.5 Prototype devices and circuits are constructed, programmed and tested for compliance with design brief and regulatory requirements
  • 2.6 Prototype faults are rectified and retested to ensure effective operation of design
  • 2.7 Control system design specifications are documented for submission to appropriate person/s for approval
  • 2.8 Solutions to unplanned situations are implemented in accordance with workplace policy
3 Obtain approval for electronic control system
  • 3.1 Control system design is presented and explained to client representative and/or relevant person/s
  • 3.2 Alterations to design are negotiated with relevant person/s within the constraints of workplace policy
  • 3.3 Final system design is documented and approval obtained from appropriate person/s
  • 3.4 Quality of work is monitored against performance agreement and/or workplace or relevant industry standards
