7 It is assumed that the user is already familiar with the basic elements of the CENTO interface after reading the "User Manual" instructions.

9 "Events" in CENTO are designed to increase the observability of system operation by tracking changes in the system status and process equipment, logging events, and notifying users. Events help the personnel to timely react to changes in the technological process and system operation. To achieve these goals, CENTO offers user notification and acknowledgement features alongside event logging.

Lana 16.2 55 An event can be created manually and automatically. Events are automatically created when the setpoint parameter is enabled. For a detailed description, refer to the "Setup Manual".
Lana 14.2 56
Lana 16.2 57 The text of setpoints can be edited in the **Event editor** interface.
58
59 To do this, click on the button [[image:Screenshot 2025-12-10 at 21.38.47.png||height="22" width="119"]]. After that, the **Setpoint editing** window opens (see Fig. 2.3), where the wording of the setpoints for Triggering and/or Return can be modified, such as Upper/Lower warning limit, Upper/Lower alarm limit, and Upper/Lower physical limit.
60
61 One or more variables can be specified in the setpoint triggering message:
62
63 * ~{~{.tag_name}} - tag name;
64 * ~{~{.tag_code}} - tag code;
65 * ~{~{.tag_id}} - tag ID;
66 * ~{~{.tag_code_or_id}} - tag code, if the code is empty, then its ID;
67 * ~{~{.tag_limit}} - setpoint value;
68 * ~{~{.tag_unit}} - tag units;
69 * ~{~{.device_name}} - name of the device to which the tag is linked.
70
71 IMPORTANT: if {figure brackets} or dots are missing when writing these parameters, a validation error will occur.
72
Lana 18.2 73 If a parameter with an error (non-existent parameter) is entered, for example: ~{~{.tag_name_2}}, the Operating journal will receive an event of the following type: [[image:Screenshot 2025-12-10 at 21.39.52.png||height="18" width="18"]] **< no value> > 10**.
