OHS procedures for a given work area are identified, obtained and understood through established routines and procedures.

1.2

Established OHS risk control measures and procedures are followed in preparation for the work.

1.3

The extent of the SCADA system is determined from design brief and process specifications.

1.4

Process data are analysed for development of graphical design/mimic diagrams.

1.5

PLC analogue and digital addresses are related to tag database.

1.6

Tag data types are configured in the database.

1.7

Graphic objects are created and where appropriate are added to a graphic library. (See Note 1)

1.8

Consideration is give to the security requirements for the SCADA system to prevent access by unauthorised personnel.

1.9

The SCADA system is configured to provide appropriate reporting mechanisms.

1.10

Equipment, software and testing devices needed to carry out the work are obtained and checked for correct operation and safety.

Element:

2. Develop and enter programs using dedicated supervisory control and data acquisition software.

Established OHS risk control measures and procedures for carrying out the work are followed.

2.2

SCADA software is used to develop human-machine interface (HMI) of processes.

2.3

Supervisory control functions, data acquisition components and automated tasks are programmed using SCADA software.

2.4

Data is manipulated within the SCADA software.

2.5

Alarms and limits for process variables are identified and programmed accordingly.

2.6

Trends for process variables and limits are programmed accordingly.

2.7

Reports are configured to display/print appropriate information.

2.8

User rights/security is configured to provide appropriate access to the different sections/controls of the SCADA system.

2.9

Methods for dealing with unexpected situations are selected on the basis of safety and specified work outcomes.

Element:

3. Monitor, verify and document programming activities.
 

Performance Criteria:

3.1

Device operation is tested in strict accordance OHS requirements and procedures.

3.2

Entered objects and settings are tested as meeting those specified in the design brief.

3.3

SCADA software tools are used to test and monitor programs and operating faults, anomalies are identified and rectified.

3.4

OHS work completion risk control measures and procedures are followed.

3.5

SCADA system specification and program are documented in accordance with established procedures.

3.6

Note.

1. Graphic libraries are typically part of vender software for SCADA systems.

Learning Outcomes



Details of Learning Activities

You will learn through a number of planned activities (face to face classes, simulated workplace learning, online learning and other forms of structured teaching and learning). You will be observed and assessed through their planned activities throughout the duration of the course

 


Teaching Schedule

Delivered in classrooms and simulated laboratories, schedules vary from group to group so schedule is posted on CANVAS for staff and you.

 


Learning Resources

Prescribed Texts


References


Other Resources

Students will be able to access course information and learning materials through myRMIT and may be provided with additional materials in class. Lists of relevant reference books, resources in the library and accessible Internet sites will be provided where possible. During the course, you will be directed to websites to enhance your knowledge and understanding of difficult concepts.

 


Overview of Assessment

Assessment may incorporate a variety of methods including practical and theory questions, observations and 3rd party reports. Participants are advised that they are likely to be asked to personally demonstrate their assessment activities to their teacher/assessor. Feedback will be provided throughout the course


Assessment Tasks

To be deemed competent you must demonstrate an understanding of all aspects required of the competency. Assessment methods have been designed to measure your achievement of each competency in a flexible manner over multiple tasks.
