I went back into family for Xmas and my father has some pb with his kiln
controller (a Hartmann&Braun, now ABB, Protronic PS 2) he was given.
His problems are probably basic prog/config but 2 hours playing with it
and as much passed googling for a manual didn't lead to anything. (any
hint?)

So I guess it's time to not waste more time and get a new controller.

What would the industrial wizards recommend?
(pref. low cost available on ebay)

Requirements:
220V-50Hz mains

K type input or (0-20/4-20, he already has the converter)
0-1300°C
at least 3 programmable ramp rates (2 up, 1 down)
at least 2 plateau durations
PID auto-tuning (I'll be 700km away)

Easy temperature profile programming (i.e. front panel)
The output will drive a small relay... which will drive the power relay
(10kW-3phases), so no real power requirement.

Manual available on line.
