17 -CENTO software can work with a variety of metering devices that have the ability to measure and store power and power profiles. The metering function is enabled by adding the metering protocol corresponding to the device on the **Device editing** page (Settings > Devices, tags, channels > Devices), then, similar to other polling protocols, the parameters of communication with the device (RTU address, TCP/UDP port, timeout and number of connection attempts) and scheduled polling parameters (cron of CENTO rules) are specified, to configure electricity metering, the file number is specified in the "File#" field,  which stores power and power profiles.

108 -In addition to metering electricity and energy resources, the CENTO software supports tracking of operating time, emissions and discharges, as well as product accounting.
109 -
110 -Metering can be implemented not only on the basis of specialized metering devices, but also performed in the CENTO software itself on the basis of tags (real-time data). For example, using information about the state of the equipment (0 - disabled and 1- enabled), the user can set up a metering channel that will calculate the operating time of the equipment. And using the processing functions (see Section 5 of this manual), you can form metering channels (increments) from the current capacity, instantaneous flow or an ever-growing meter.

114 -If the device installed at any connection does not have the function of storing interval values of electricity/power in the memory, as well as archived values for other types of metering, CENTO has the function of generating interval values from tags (real-time data). In order to create a metering channel, go to Settings > Devices, tags, channels > Calculation channels (see Fig. 5.1).

Press it or //Enter// on your keyboard, and the value goes to the CENTO database. For devices where only manual data entry is provided, CENTO has developed a procedure for filling the cells between two manual entries. If readings are recorded at 10:00 a.m. and then again at 8:00 p.m., the system automatically fills in the readings for all intermediate intervals. For electricity metering channels, the system additionally calculates and populates the corresponding energy and power values.
