What an assessment for MEM30027 must cover
11 assessable components: 2 elements (6 performance criteria), 2 performance evidence and 3 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 Write and test basic programs using a program loader
- 1.1Follow standard operating procedure (SOPs) and comply with work health and safety (WHS) requirements at all times
- 1.2Write programs in response to workplace needs
- 1.3Follow device procedures to load programs into a programmable logic controller
- 1.4Verify and test programs and their operation with assistance from supervisor
2 Edit and monitor basic programs using a program loader
- 2.1Use the monitoring function to verify circuit conditions and check the current values of timers and counters
- 2.2Use editing features to make minor program changes
Performance evidence
- writing and testing basic programs using a program loader on at least two occasions
- editing and monitoring basic programs using a program loader.
Knowledge evidence
- hazards and control measures associated with preparing basic programs for programmable logic controllers (PLC) including housekeeping
- safe work practices and procedures
- general aspects of programmable controllers including: • basic PLC operation: • definitions • terminology • block diagrams • scan cycle • basic programming rules including: • addressing for I/O • halt • run • programming using a program loader including: • flowcharts and steps to use when programming • clearing of memory • ladder format • Boolean, mnemonic and statement list format including: • series circuits • parallel circuits • latching circuits • stack register operation • combination series and parallel circuits • inversion elements • timers • counters: • monitoring of discrete I/O and timer/counter values • editing including insertion and deletion of elements • connection of discrete input and output devices to a PLC.

Questions about assessing MEM30027
What does an assessment tool for MEM30027 need to cover?
To satisfy the Principles of Assessment and Rules of Evidence, an assessment for MEM30027 needs to address all 11 unit components: 2 elements with 6 performance criteria, 2 performance evidence requirements, 3 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 MEM30027?
Auditori pulls the current release of MEM30027 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 MEM30027 — with no card and no subscription required. After that it's pay-as-you-go per unit.
Can I check my existing MEM30027 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 MEM30027, showing exactly what's covered and what's missing. Mapping costs a quarter of a credit.
