What an assessment for MEM29006 must cover

47 assessable components: 4 elements (17 performance criteria), 6 performance evidence and 24 knowledge evidence requirements. An audit-defensible tool maps every question and task back to these — that mapping is the coverage matrix Auditori generates alongside the assessment.

Elements & performance criteria

1 Assess state of current SCADA system integration with workplace Industry 4.0 operations

  • 1.1Identify Industry 4.0 systems used in the workplace that have a current or potential connection to SCADA system
  • 1.2Identify equipment and processes and required to be monitored and controlled by the SCADA system
  • 1.3Identify hardware, PLCs and PLC programming, networking and other features SCADA system
  • 1.4Identify cyber-security protocols used with the current SCADA system
  • 1.5Assess if an integration gap exists between current SCADA system and workplace Industry 4.0 systems

2 Use SCADA system and identify any potential improvements

  • 2.1Interrogate SCADA system to obtain current, historical or predicted information
  • 2.2Monitor and evaluate scope and integrity of SCADA information according to workplace procedures
  • 2.3Identify and rectify inefficient uses of SCADA system
  • 2.4Provide support to others in the use of SCADA system according to workplace procedures
  • 2.5Troubleshoot unexpected situations in consultation with relevant personnel

3 Document and maintain SCADA system

  • 3.1Update and maintain a library of SCADA objects and templates according to workplace procedures
  • 3.2Document, maintain and update operating and response instructions for SCADA system
  • 3.3Document connections and networking protocols between SCADA system and Industry 4.0 workplace systems
  • 3.4Obtain approval for documentation according to workplace procedures

4 Identify options for improved integration of SCADA with Industry 4.0 systems

  • 4.1Determine scope for additional SCADA data collection and control through additional sensors, instrumentation, PLC’s, Remote Terminal Units (RTU’s) and wired and/or WiFi networking
  • 4.2Assess suitability of Internet and web-based SCADA for delivering improved SCADA and Industry 4.0 integration
  • 4.3Prepare recommendations for improved integration of SCADA with Industry 4.0 systems

Performance evidence

  • source technical information on using SCADA for monitoring and controlling for at least two industrial processes including from: manufacturer’s manuals, documentation, and web sites; work orders; standard operating procedures (SOPs); discussion with relevant experts
  • interpret SCADA symbols, diagrams and the structure of alarms
  • record at least two changes and adjustments to SCADA system hardware and software on a graphical user interface using standard SCADA objects, templates and drawing protocols. The changes must involve changes to monitoring and controlling multiple machines or workstations and include change at PLC and master controller level.
  • acquire and analyse at least two sets of machine or process data from a SCADA system including: conversion of raw data; manipulation of complex data within the SCADA software; trending; graphical representation; analyse data fields for reports
  • identify and rectify inefficient uses of SCADA system.
  • Note: Where a volume and/or frequency is not specified, demonstration must be provided at least once.

Knowledge evidence

  • the different applications and systems that are generally associated with Industry 4.0
  • advantages and disadvantages of SCADA as a system for control system for the supervision and acquisition of data from local and remote industrial processes:
  • analog and digital data conversion and transmission to suit the requirements of different SCADA, systems, equipment and stakeholders
  • applications of SCADA systems within an industrial process environment including:
  • limitations of SCADA systems (i.e. physical and environmental limitations)
  • major proprietary SCADA systems and protocols used in industry including applications and key differences
  • SCADA system networking in a factory environment including
  • local area network (LAN)
  • WiFi
  • internet
  • advantages and disadvantages of different networking systems
  • SCADA data acquisition including:
  • hardware requirements
  • serial port: RS232, RS422, RS485
  • USB
  • commercial systems
  • software requirements
  • drivers
  • specialist programs
  • SCADA cyber security protocols
  • PLC interface requirements for SCADA systems including configuring and testing data connection between SCADA system and PLCs
  • test procedures to determining the accuracy of data collected by a SCADA system
  • connection and configuration of voice diallers and alarm callout systems
  • SCADA-related drawing protocols, objects and templates.

Questions about assessing MEM29006

What does an assessment tool for MEM29006 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM29006 needs to address all 47 unit components: 4 elements with 17 performance criteria, 6 performance evidence requirements, 24 knowledge evidence requirements, and the foundation skills. A coverage matrix mapping each question and task to these components is what an auditor looks for.

How does Auditori generate an assessment tool for MEM29006?

Auditori pulls the current release of MEM29006 from training.gov.au and generates a complete package: candidate assessment, assessor guide with model answers and observation criteria, and a coverage matrix mapping every component. A suitably qualified person then reviews and approves the draft in a built-in workflow — consistent with ASQA's guidance on AI use in VET — before export as branded PDF and editable Word.

Is the first assessment tool really free?

Yes. Every new account includes one free credit — enough to generate the complete assessment tool for MEM29006 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing MEM29006 assessment instead of generating a new one?

Yes — upload your existing assessment or learner guide and Auditori maps it against every element, performance criterion, PE and KE of MEM29006, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
