The PlantCruise database license  CV-OPCUHA is a specialized software license that enables OPC UA Historical Data Access (HA) server functionality within the PlantCruise automation platform, operating on a per-client basis. This license allows the PlantCruise system to serve historical process data to external client applications using the standardized OPC UA protocol, providing secure and reliable access to archived information for analysis, reporting, and compliance purposes. The HONEYWELL CV-OPCUDA is designed to work with PlantCruise R500 and later versions, requiring a batch manager license (CV-BATCHMGR) as part of its operational foundation. This historical data server capability complements the real-time data access provided by other OPC UA licenses, creating a comprehensive data exchange ecosystem.

From a technical perspective, the Honeywell CV-OPCUHA OPC UA HA Server per client has specific system requirements that must be considered during implementation. The server infrastructure should be based on SQL Server 2019 or later for optimal historical data management, with additional memory allocation of approximately 150 MB RAM per 1,000 historical data points to ensure smooth data retrieval operations. Like other OPC UA components, the Honeywell CV-OPCUHA operates on a per-client licensing model, where each simultaneous connection to the historical data server requires a separate license. This scalable approach allows plants to precisely match their licensing costs with their actual historical data access needs.

The functionality provided by the OPC UA HA Server per client Honeywell CV-OPCUHA is distinct from other data exchange options available in the PlantCruise system. While the base database license includes interfaces like DNP3, and separate licenses cover real-time OPC UA DA server functionality, the Honeywell CV-OPCUHA specifically addresses the need for historical data exposure. This specialization enables client applications to retrieve time-series data, access historical events, and perform trend analysis through standardized OPC UA HA services, making it particularly valuable for maintenance analysis, production reporting, and regulatory compliance activities.

In practical application, the Experion LX parts CV-OPCUHA Honeywell serves as a critical bridge between the PlantCruise historical database and enterprise-level systems that require access to processed historical information. Manufacturing execution systems (MES), enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms, and custom analytics applications can all benefit from the structured historical data access enabled by it. By implementing this license, organizations can ensure that valuable historical process data becomes readily available for business intelligence applications while maintaining the security and integrity of the control system environment.
