Claim 15:
16. The hydraulic fracturing control assembly of claim 15, wherein:
the hydraulic fracturing units comprise a plurality of hydraulic fracturing pumps, each of the plurality of hydraulic fracturing pumps being associated with one of the plurality of hydraulic fracturing units; and
the supervisory controller is configured to:
receive pump characteristics for each of the plurality of hydraulic fracturing pumps;
determine a total pump flow rate by combining at least one of the pump characteristics for each of the plurality of hydraulic fracturing pumps; and
compare the total pump flow rate to the target flow rate to determine whether the plurality of hydraulic fracturing units have a capacity sufficient to achieve the one or more of the target flow rate or the target pressure.
