A PLC Shift user in the Deep Basin formation in Northwestern Alberta has increased the number of PLC Shift installations to support an upcoming AI/ML pilot project. This expansion increases PLC Shift deployment to over 100 wells with existing legacy RTUs like SCADAPack, Bristol, and FloBoss.

PLC Shift V1.66 is released with support for the new Weidmüller M3000 and M4000 Linux-based PLCs with Codesys. These devices are Class 1 Div 2 with a -40 to 70°C temperature spec and a broad range of expandable, high-density I/O. More details of the PLC Shift integration in our Quick Start Guide

PLC Shift V1.65 brings a significant new feature: an integrated ModbusTCP Server. This allows for direct polling of app tags via ModbusTCP from SCADA and HMIs. As a result, there can be more apps per PLC, and integration with SCADA becomes easier and more scalable, particularly for non-Modbus native PLCs like Codesys and Compact/ControlLogix. More details are available in the manual here.

A Reverity client in Oklahoma is setting up a standardized, cost-efficient PLC Shift solution that incorporates Gas Flow and Plunger Lift applications utilizing a Moxa industrial computer and IDEC PLC and HMI. This approach merges proven equipment and expertise with new technology to simplify deployment and maintenance.

PLC Shift V1.59 has been launched, featuring customizable history retention for Gas and Liquid Flow. This allows users to set the number of days that minute, hourly, daily, events, alarms, and configuration logs are stored on disk. For devices with limited storage, the retention limits can be decreased, while for devices with ample storage, they can be extended up to one year!

The PLC Shift Well Test Solution was deployed on an eight-well pad in the Montney play in Western Canada. The PLC Shift Gas, Liquid, and Water flow computer applications were installed on an existing SCADAPack 474i. The logic within the SCADAPack seamlessly integrated with the PLC Shift applications to enable automated well testing with valve switching. This producer also uses the PLC Shift Plunger Lift application on new wells in the Deep Basin on SCADAPack 474i RTUs.

PLC Shift Well Test v4 released with improvements for SCADAPack 47xi. This solutions includes PLC Shift app configurations and ST Code for the RTU. More details in the manual section here.

PLC Shift V1.55 is released. This improves performance and reliability with the SP47xi tag API. Release notes here. SP47xi users should update to this version if any tag values are not updating correctly.

PLC Shift Plunger Lift apps were commissioned on a four well pad in the Duvernay in Alberta. These apps are providing Plunger Lift control and optimization on an existing well that needs Plunger lift to prevent liquid loading. A new SCADAPack 474i was used to run the four Plunger Lift apps and interface with existing site equipment. The producer plans to add four Gas Lift apps to this same device at a later date.

PLC Shift Well Test v3 released with support for Rockwell Automation Compact and ControlLogix PLCs. This solutions includes PLC Shift app configurations and ST Code for the PLC. More details in the manual section here.

Reverity is at Rockwell Automation Fair in the Sensia booth. PLC Shift is on display demonstrating native integration with the new Sensia QRATE HCC2.

PLC Shift V1.49 is released. This adds support for direct MS SQL export from the Gas and Liquid Flow apps. Release notes here. Manual section here.

PLC Shift V1.45 is released. This adds support for the new Sensia QRATE HCC2. The HCC2 is a next generation RTU/Edge platform. Release notes here. Manual section here.

Reverity is presenting at the Ignition Oil and Gas Collective. This is a fantastic user group of Oil and Gas producers, Ignition system integrators and complimentary solution providers.

PLC Shift Liquid Flow app was selected to improve measurement accuracy and auditability on 10 salt water disposal wells in the Permian Basin. Previously a running accumulator was used to collect water injection volumes, but provided no auditability of the records in event of questionable values. PLC Shift Liquid Flow provides an API Compliant minute, hourly, daily and batch records with alarm and event logs. The producer plans to send this record based data directly to a new Ignition SCADA system via MQTT SparkplugB. The PLC Shift apps were installed on existing Opto 22 Linux based PLCs and Codesys IEC61131 PLC software.

A large producer in the Deep Basin region of Western Alberta has selected PLC Shift Plunger Lift apps as their go forward standardized Plunger Lift controller with over 10 sites commissioned and counting. The PLC Shift apps are deployed on Xetawave Xetaedge industrial Linux computers with Codesys Soft PLC software and easily installed in existing RTU cabinets. This solution integrates with existing Floboss 1200, Floboss 103, and Bristol ControlWave RTUs. This low cost solution offers a consistent SCADA and workflow experience for operations, regardless of the existing flow computer/RTU on site.

PLC Shift V1.25 is released. This adds support for direct Flowcal CFX file export from the Gas Flow app. Release notes here.

PLC Shift V1.9 is released. This adds support for Codesys Control soft PLC. Codesys is an IEC61131 compliant IDE and runtime that works with the same Linux devices as PLC Shift. Release notes here. Manual section here.

PLC Shift Plunger Lift apps were commissioned on two multi well pads in the Willisden Green area of Alberta. These apps were deployed on Moxa 8210 industrial Linux computers and installed inside the existing CompactLogix L33ER PLC cabinet. The PLC Shift - CompactLogix integration was completed ahead of time and added to the site PLCs without production downtime.
