What an assessment for UEEIC0013 must cover

111 assessable components: 3 elements (18 performance criteria), 17 performance evidence and 76 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 Identify control system requirements

1.1PLC operating functions, parameters and specifications are determined from relevant documentation, electrical drawings or persons to determine the control system scope of work
1.2Work health and safety (WHS)/occupational health and safety (OHS) requirements and workplace procedures for a given work area are identified and applied
1.3Control system scenario is developed from job specifications of process/plant/machine controlled through consultation with relevant person/s
1.4PLC block diagram is developed using industry standard symbols
1.5Infotechnology equipment, software and measuring devices needed to carry out the PLC work are obtained and checked for correct operation and safety
1.6Installation of PLC is checked for compliance with relevant industry standards, regulations and job specifications

2 Develop control system, enter and test program

2.1Established WHS/OHS risk control measures and procedures for carrying out the work are followed.
2.2Circuits/machines/plant are checked and isolated in accordance with workplace procedures
2.3Control system solutions are developed and documented based on specified control mode and using acceptable methods for designing control systems
2.4Developed control system is converted to an appropriate form
2.5Program is entered into the PLC using appropriate infotechnology and software
2.6Entered instructions and settings are tested in accordance with job specifications by control system scenario
2.7Appropriate methods and tools are used to test control system and operating faults and anomalies are identified and rectified
2.8Unplanned situations are responded to in accordance with workplace procedures, in a manner that minimises risk to persons and equipment

3 Verify document and report programming activities

3.1WHS/OHS work completion risk control measures and procedures are followed
3.2Program is transferred from PLC to external medium for storage
3.3Control system specification and program are documented in accordance with workplace procedures
3.4Work completion is documented and relevant persons notified in accordance with workplace procedures

Questions about assessing UEEIC0013

What does an assessment tool for UEEIC0013 need to cover?

To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for UEEIC0013 needs to address all 111 unit components: 3 elements with 18 performance criteria, 17 performance evidence requirements, 76 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 UEEIC0013?

Auditori pulls the current release of UEEIC0013 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 UEEIC0013 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.

Can I check my existing UEEIC0013 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 UEEIC0013, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
