Control system design is based on analysis of the current state of combustion control systems in technological device of raw material processing area. Control system design is composed of two subsystems. First subsystem is represented by software system for measured data processing and for data processing from simulation of the combustion mathematical model. Outputs are parameters for setting of controller algorithms. Second subsystem consists from programme modules. The programme module is presented by specific control algorithm, for example proportional regulation, programmed proportional regulation, proportional regulation with correction on the oxygen in waste gas, and so on. According to the specific combustion control requirements it is possible built-up concrete control system by programme modules. The programme modules were programmed by Automation studio that is used for development, debugging and testing software for BR controllers. Key words: combustion control, mathematical model, programmable logic controller Introduction Technological processes of raw processing include many processes of transfer, accumulation and transformation of mass, energy and momentum. Combustion process is a typical transfer process. Fuel (e.g. natural gas, fuel oil, coal, coke) and oxidizer (generally air) are inputs to the combustion process. The air using is given its easy availability. Disadvantage of air using is big content of nitrogen. Due to the nitrogen volume it is combustion temperature lower. Waste gas is output from combustion process. Specific parameters
