ICTDRE305 — Develop integrated digital reception systems

Elements & performance criteria

Performance evidence

• Comply with standards, regulations and work health and safety (WHS) procedures and practices when developing an integrated system
• communicate with customers
• determine the full scope of specifications for an integrated digital reception system
• use calculations to correctly determine the number of network and current requirements
• place system devices appropriately in system scheme
• apply and check appropriate modes of programming and diagnostic tools in the design
• program devices and set load operating parameters according to manufacturer specifications
• use diagnostic tools to locate and correct system defects, faults and anomalies
• document and backup system during appropriate stages of the project.

Knowledge evidence

• describe the applications and advantages of integrated systems
• identify the bus system cable type, polarity, length and acceptable topologies
• describe the process of controlling digital system integration (DSI) and communicating with digital addressable lighting interface (DALI) electronic ballasts
• identify factors that affect control bus stability, including number of units on a network, and current drawn by devices in relation to current output of power supplies
• define the operating parameters of integrated systems and programming to an extent indicated by:
• importance of project documentation and backup
• importance of location of output and input devices and control bus power supplies
• describe lighting dimmer capabilities and selection
• determine the low voltage (LV) supply overcurrent and surge protection
• describe multiple network connectivity
• identify the software used for system and device programming, monitoring and control
• explain system and device programming, encompassing:
• addressing conventions for networks, devices, applications, output groups, types of control and outputs, which include ‘on’, ‘off’, a specific level, and over a specific time
• PC programming tools and methods (programming includes configuring network database using addressing tools and objects, function objects, editing, altering and transferring the database to network)
• identify and describe system fault-finding processes
• determine the system components, encompassing:
• support devices for control bus supply and control
• support devices for programming, interconnection between networks and integration with third party systems
• describe the types and capabilities of input and output devices.

Foundation skills

• Reading: Reads and interprets plans, specifications, computer program interface, and other documentation from a variety of sources, and consolidates information to determine requirements
• Writing: Develops procedural material for a specific audience using clear and detailed language to convey explicit information, requirements and recommendations
• Oral Communication: Effectively participates in verbal exchanges using collaborative and inclusive techniques including active listening and questioning, and reading of verbal and non-verbal signals to convey and clarify information
• Numeracy: Calculations required for determining design specifications Performs mathematical calculations to check, interpret and confirm results of system tests
• Navigate the world of work: Understands rights and responsibilities in complying with standards and regulatory requirements
• Get the work done: Takes responsibility for planning, sequencing and prioritising tasks and own workload for efficiency and effective outcomes Makes routine decisions and implements standard procedures for routine tasks, using formal decision-making processes for more complex and non-routine situations Addresses less predictable problems and initiates standard procedures in response, applying problem-solving processes in determining a solution Uses familiar digital technologies and systems to access information, search and enter data and code, present information and communicate with others, cognisant of data security and safety
