101 -There are two types of events in CENTO – single and with return events. For system objects, there may be important state that the user should see in the active status (e.g., "Ground in a network with isolated neutral", "Switching on a sectionalizer", "Opening the emergency exit door"). Events reporting this important state are opening events. Events reporting the end of an important object state are closing events. These two types of events are events with return. **Events with return should ALWAYS be paired: the second event ALWAYS closes the first one. **Events in the active state are displayed in a separate tab of the operational log and disappear from there after triggering the closing event. Other events (regardless of their importance) are single events.
