4. Configuration and operation

This section describes how the controller:
• Is configured
• Is operated

We have decided to work on the basis of the example we went
through previously, i.e. compressor control with 4 compressors
and high pressure control using heat recovery and gas cooler.

The example is shown two pages in.
