® Herbert Tutschner, AB Learning field 11: Put into operation and maintain automated plants 3rd year of training Formulation of objectives: The pupils plan control systems for complex automated plants. They analyse the control systems within existing plants and install automated plants. They use industrial communication systems to integrate components into superordinate automated systems. The pupils organise and optimise their work processes based on a system of division of labour. They use predictive analysis to prevent possible sources of error in the planning of plants. They record the effects of sources of error on the plants and services and initiate preventative measures. The pupils configure and parameterise automated plants and the drive systems integrated into these. During this process, they accord due consideration to the topology and structures of automated systems. They record and analyse the data exchange between these systems and deploy programme development and programme visualisation instruments. The pupils use standards, regulations and rules applying to the setting up and operation of automated plants, communication electric drive systems and health and safety at work regulations. They document compliance with these in a professional manner. The pupils conduct independent checks on the functionality and safety of automated plants and put these into operation. The pupils carry out maintenance and diagnostic works on automated plants and drive systems, including remote diagnoses. For these purposes, they deploy strategies for systematic identification and elimination of errors. The pupils draw up and modify documentation, also use English language documentation and present their results. They use standard and bespoke software for these purposes.
