Berm Rex-c100 help!

[Gee-MB]

Hello!
So... I'm not actually a brewer... but I have a kiln with a berm rex-c100 temperature controller and the instructions are so very confusing and the most helpful videos/forums I've found so far have all been from brewers using them, would I be allowed to ask on here a couple of questions? The only other forums I can find discussing are engineering/technology forums and I worry they might not be willing to explain it in not-so-techy terms! I want to use the kiln to do some glass fusing art, I just cannot figure out how (or if) I can set the kiln to heat at a certain rate (the first segment schedule is 150c/hour until it hits 537c - then hold for 10mins) - I'm sorry for infiltrating your forum as a non-brewer (it seems very interesting though! maybe i'll find a new passion!) and I totally understand if this isn't the place to ask!
Thank you and sorry again! Maybe if I can figure it out I'll make some brewing themed fused glass designs!

I'm not familiar with the Rex C100 PID, other than it is one of several low cost, low end PID controllers. I am not aware of any PIDs in this class that offer controlled ramp rates. I think you will need to get a higher end PID to do what you want to do.

Here is one PID that has ramping capability that is relatively inexpensive.

Brew on
