2 Before Starting
SmartHT
SmartHT is a PC software able to produce HT (Heat Treatment) certificates according to the IPPC-FAO
requirements. It makes your PC able to read up to 6 wood temperature (14 wood temperature optional)
probes plus 2 air temperature (wet/dry bulb) and, if used together with a LG39 relay unit, it transforms
your PC in a complete control system for your kiln, able to control either the temperature and the moisture
into the cell.

2.1 Advised Configuration

Pentium 3 (1.0 GHz) processor, 512 MB RAM , 200MB Hard Disk free space

Operative System:
The program runs on all platforms where the required .NET framework is installed

Software required:
.Net Framework 3.5

3 Software installation
SmartHT software is distributed in two different ways:

- on a USB key supplied together with the interface converter for the PC connected to the kiln network
- as downloadable file from the Logica H&S website (www.logica-hs.com) (registration required)

To install the software please connect the provided USB Stick in the PC and double click on Install.exe to
start the wizard.

If you use the Download is necessary double click on the file, when the download is completed. The
installation process will begin. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete it.
The SmartHT program needs the provided USB485 converter as interface. No other RS485 interface
can be used.

A basic insight into the working of Windows is highly recommended.

Don’t forget to study the hardware manuals

4.2 Relay output unit LG39

The LG39 is the new input/output unit supplied instead of LG29 as standard equipment of the HT system.

LG39 has two Kiln Bus connectors, which have the same pin-out and function. One of the two connectors
(CN2 or CN3 - they are internally connected) can be used to link to LG30 data acquisition unit (connecting
all the 5 wires to the LG30 connector), the other (CN3 or CN2) should be used for the connection to the
USB485 interface (only the KilnBus+/- wires should be connected to USB485).

The LG39 is equipped with 8 configuration dip-switches. Use a small sharpen tool to place them.
The following table summarizes the function of the dip-switches (Off=0, On=1):

When the “Safe mode” is enabled, after 4 minutes of inactivity of the serial interface, all the outputs will be
disabled, but the HEATER CLOSE and the FLAPS CLOSE will be activated, in order to set the kiln under
a safe condition. When this alarm condition occurs, the DATA ERROR led flashes every second. Under
normal conditions, for use with standard HT systems, the switches should remain as showed in the
“Factory settings” row.
Whatever change on the dip-switches setting will be effective only after a reset of the device.

4.2.1 Inputs / Outputs description

The power supply input and the relay outputs are available on the CN4 and CN7 connectors.
The power supply for the whole system must be applied to the pins 1 and 2 of the CN4 connector; these
contacts are internally connected to the KILN-BUS plugs through the FUSE 1 (5A) protection, to supply all
the peripheral devices.
All the common contacts of the relays are connected to the same input (CN7 - 8) that can be connected to
whatever voltage from 0 to 250Vac. A protection fuse (FUSE 2.5x20mm – 5A) is connected in series to
this input; the sum of all the loads consumption must not exceed the fuse maximum current rating.

The following table summarizes the function for every I/O pin of the LG39:

 10 SmartHT - User's Manual

The analog outputs to drive the fans frequency inverter, the heater and the flaps are electrically insulated
from the power supply and from the Kiln Bus interface, but are not insulated each other and from the
digital inputs (CN5)

If a relays output is used to drive an inductive load (such as an electro valve), it is recommended to add
the supplied spark suppression filters in parallel to the load.

NOTE: the filter must be installed across the load and not across the relay, to avoid leakage of currents
and any consequent malfunctioning.

 Configuration 13

5.2 Installation

Enable additional temperature probes (2xLG30)

Check this box if your system is equipped with two LG30 data acquisition units to manage up to 14 + 2
temperature probes.

Enable relay output management

Use this check to specify whether your system is equipped with a relay output unit (LG29) or it is simply
a data logging system without kiln control capability (no LG29 unit available). In this second case,
uncheck this option in order to avoid undesired alarms for wrong communication with LG29 relay unit

Use the wet bulb probe as the air probe 2

Check this box if you need two air temperature probes.
The "Wet Bulb probe" will be displayed as "Air temperature probe 2" and the "Dry Bulb probe" will be
renamed as "Air temperature probe 1".
By checking this box all the settings related to the "Wet Bulb probe" will be disabled and the humidity
control will be excluded.

Enable moisture management (wet bulb probe)

Check this option to specify that your system is equipped with a psychrometric sensor (dry / web bulb)
and you desire to control the humidity inside the kiln. If your system is not equipped with the web bulb
probe, uncheck this option to avoid undesired alarms for defective web bulb probe.
When this option is enabled, the program will control also the humidity activating the flaps relay or the
sprayers relay according to the current moisture in the kiln. The humidity control is active only during the
heating phase; during the HT phase, the flaps and sprayers are always off, while during the cooling
phase the flaps are opened and the sprayers closed.

Use Emc for management of moisture (otherwise RH)

When this box is checked, the air moisture content is displayed/specified as EMC (Equilibrium Moisture
Content). Unselect the box to display/specify the air moisture as RH (Relative Humidity).

 14 SmartHT - User's Manual

Use this field to set the maximum allowable temperature for the kiln (refer to the technical specifications
of your kiln).

Fans inversion time

If the kiln is equipped with reversible fans, use this box to specify the interval (minutes) between the
inversion of their rotation direction. The fans and the heating system will be turned off for one minute
before inverting the direction. During the HT phase, the inversion will be disabled in order to avoid
undesired temperature drops that could extend the time required to complete the HT cycle.
If the fans of your kiln doesn’t have the reversing capability, set this parameter to 0.

Recording interval
Specifies the interval among the records of the measured data. A short interval gives a more accurate
graphical representation of the cycle but generates bigger archives. Please refer to the local HT
regulation to verify whether they specify a minimum time between records.

Meters above sea level - m.a.s.l.

The local altitude value is used in the formula for RH and EMC calculation. Please enter the altitude of
your plant for a more accurate calculation.

HT temperature
This is the minimum timber core temperature for the Heat treatment. It cannot be lower than 56°C, but
some local regulations may require higher values. Please refer to your local HT regulation to set this
parameter.

Minimum HT probes
It is the minimum number of timber temperature probes required to perform a valid HT cycle. Please
refer to your local HT regulation to set this parameter.

Minimum HT time
This is minimum duration for the Heat Treatment. It cannot be shorter than 30 minutes, but some local

5.4 Alarms

The parameters of this section are used to define the conditions for alarm signaling.

Heating phase alarm delay

The alarm is signaled if, during the heating phase, a temperature increasing is not observed within the
specified time.

Heating phase alarm delay

When the temperature set specified for the HT phase has been reached, two timers are enabled. The
first one is used to measure the HT phase duration and it is reset if, for somewhat reason, during the
HT phase the temperature falls below the minimum temperature setting; if this alarm is enabled, the
second timer continues to run and, when the specified timeout elapses, an alarm is signaled.

Probes fault
Enabling this function, if a fault is detected on a probe during the drying cycle, an alarm is displayed. If
the remaining number of valid probes is still equal or higher to the minimum required, the cycle
continues, otherwise it is automatically stopped (the automatic stop of the cycle is enabled also when
this box is not checked).

Cool down the kiln in case of alarm

If checked (default condition), if an alarm occurs during the HT cycle, a cooling phase is performed
before stopping the kiln.
If not checked, the alarm causes the immediate stop of the kiln.

Sounds - Alarm
Specifies the sound to be played when an alarm condition is detected.

© 2019 Logica H&S

 Configuration 17

Sounds – End of cycle

Specifies the sound to be played when the HT cycle has been completed.

5.5 Communication

Automatic serial port configuration

If this box is selected the program will automatically configure the serial ports, otherwise, by unchecking

10 Temperature measurement chain specifications

The temperature measurement chain consists of:
1) Temperature probes
2) Probes connection boxes (optional)
3) LG30 Data logger
The output from LG30 data logger is the measured signal in digital format, so all the successive elements
(control system, supervisory PC) do not affect the measuring precision.

10.1 Temperature probes

The supplied temperature probes are NTC thermistors, characterized by an higher resistance than the
well known PT100 platinum sensors (10.000 ohm instead of 100); the higher resistance makes the
resistance of the cable and the connectors absolutely not influent for the measure precision. In addition,
the NTC sensors have an higher signal than the thermocouples (better noise rejection), are not polarized
and do not require special cables.
