We had a plug in octal base version that was great for ease of replacement on a standard din rail relay socket. They were fairly reliable and accurate, but could be tweaked with pots on the device, so they were easily tinkered with, and subject to exceesive plugging/unpluggin in. They were great "uh-oh" fixers because you could set the zero and span, and install one in minutes.
My favorite stuff for rugged reliability came from Wilkerson. wici.com. These were a gold mine of rugged reliability. I only replaced one in ten years of over 20 installations doing frequency to voltage in some nasty old tire plant panels.

We used something along the lines of The DinMOD.
If you can read and set jumpers/dipswitches, you can R&R one too. Very Industrially friendly stuff.
$240 bucks one time..."UL recognized permanent warranty"
Look at the electrical isolation specs on that thing!
