Why change?

Yes, why change?

I, myself, am trying to move from multiple brands to single brands while you're going in the opposite direction!

For an accountant, having multiple brands is bad practice. For example, if you have four E+H transmitters in your factory, you'll only need to keep one spare in your stock room. If you have four different branded transmitters in you factory, you'll need one spare for each in your stock room, and that means four transmitters!

Endress & Hauser, in my opinion is a fairly good brand. I've also no complaints about Yokogawa. We use E+H for point level (their vibrating fork level sensors are tough!) while we use Yokogawa magnetic flow-meters. We have a few E+H magflows which have been pretty good too.

My major complaint with Yokogawa is their configuration menu. They used codes instead of words which means I need a cheat sheet when I have to access the instrument. E+H, on the other hand, came up with an optical touch pad instead of a button on their transmitters. When one of the operators tried to wipe off the glass, the configuration screen came up.

If you really want to change, I suggest you check out their websites and read the instrument manuals and data sheets.

Why you want to open your plant for several brands?

Perhaps the only issue is that you are trying to change from one brand to another for any reason...

But several brands for the same application it not seams to be a good idea.

I'm trying to move the installation that we have in our mill to reduce the amount of brands we had because it's a trouble.

In my situation is the need to teach the people to use several "configuration device" and software.

And also in that way then we shall reduce the spares. Of course it is very important issue to see..
