MC-900 Automatic Control Unit for Wood dryers is a device that automatically controls drying process in dehumidifying and combined kilns mounted by "NIGOS-elektronik".  Device achieves optimal drying conditions in the chamber through air temperature and humidity control.

Automatic control unit can control drying process based on the data retrieved from a measurement probes in automatic, semiautomatic and remote (via PC computer) control mode. Air temperature and EMC are measured in 2 points, while wood moisture content is measured in 6 points.

In automatic control mode, user must enter type of wood, thickness, desired wood moisture content at the end of drying as well as whether he wants certain drying stages or not. Then, based on this values and measured values the device on its own  chooses appropriate drying program. Automatic control unit uses its relay outputs in order to control equipment installed in the kiln such as heaters, flow fans, heat pumps, atomizers (sprinklers) etc., and achieve optimal condition in the chamber.

In semiautomatic control mode, user can set desired setpoints for air temperature and humidity based on the personal experience, and the automatic control unit only maintain those values inside the kiln at the desired point.

Since MC - 900R has a built-in communication port, it can be connected to a PC computer, which enables control of a drying process from a distance (office or suitable operating room). Also, up to 15 kilns can be connected to a single PC.

LCD display show parameters and current stage of drying process, while LED displays are constantly showing air temperature, humidity and current/average wood moisture content.

During drying process some irregular (alarm) situations can occur. They are detected and displays show adequate warning. There are 2 types of alarm situations which are:
  • warnings - drying process continues, but error notification is shown
  • alarms - drying process is interrupted because an equipment malfunction is detected
All relevant data of a drying process are recorded in MC - 900R's internal memory. Data samples are taken every 3 hours. Internal memory can hold such data for a period of up to 1 month.

After a power failure has occurred, if the drying was already started, it will automatically continue starting from the measured wood moisture content upon power supply reconnection.
