Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to enter and change programmable controller operational parameters.Work is generally undertaken at location of programmable controllers including, programmable logic controller (PLC) and distributed control system (DCS) or similar devices but could be undertaken with data link offsite.Where the selection and use of engineering measuring equipment is required see unit MEM12023 Perform engineering measurements.Where routine downloading of PLC, robot, computer numerically controlled (CNC) or numerically controlled (NC) programs from disk, tape or direct means not requiring program or data adjustment or checks against specification is required see unit MEM16008 Interact with computing technology.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.Band: AUnit Weight: 2
