The application for monitoring and controlling the gasifying process of coal, created in the school version of the PROMOTIC system. The application has been created in order to monitor process values as pressure and flow of oxidants, coal temperature, gas concentration. The system allows the operator to control and modify the stabilization and optimization regulators. The temperature, pressure and flow trends panels are also included. The application contains 25 graphic panels. This is a non-commercial application used for education and reserch purposes. The communication between the PC and the PLC is done via the RS232 and Ethernet TCP/IP. The PROMOTIC system is connected via the Bernecker&Reiner PVI OPC interface.

The application for monitoring and control of the coal gasifying process has been created within the framework of the APVV-0582-06 project named "Underground coal gasifying by thermal decomposition", that has been solved for 3 years by prof. Ing. Karola Kostúra, CSc. on the Technical University of Košice.
