A request to initiate startup of an air separation plant (200) may be received (610), and, in response to receiving the request, startup information that identifies a sequence of steps to be automatically executed to start up the air separation plant (200) is retrieved (620). Each step may be associated with a component of the air separation plant (200), and may be associated with an action and aset of permissives corresponding to the action. The set of permissives for each action may specify one or more parameters for controlling the execution of the corresponding action. After retrieving the startup information (620), the system may automatically initiate execution of the sequence of steps (630), and may monitor the execution of each of the steps (640). The system may determine (660), based on the monitoring, whether to modify a parameter specified by one of the permissives corresponding to an executed action. 可以接收(610)用于开始启动空气分离设备(200)启动的请求，并且响应于接收到所述请求而检索(620)标识有待自动执行以启动所述空气分离设备(200)的步骤序列的启动信息。每个步骤可以与所述空气
