While control system functions tend to overlap, they can be<br />

looked at as controlling three separate areas:<br />

Sequencing Control<br />

Routine Operation Control<br />

Protection Control<br />

Sequencing Control consists of the steps to Start, Load, Unload,<br />

<strong>and</strong> Stop the unit. Typical steps included in a normal start are:<br />

• Check that all permissives are made<br />

• Check that lube oil pumps are running
