111 <p>CENTO is a multifunctional software platform for data collection, processing, and display. This manual describes the <strong>Events</strong> user tool in CENTO.</p>
112
113 <p>It is assumed that the user is already familiar with the basic elements of the CENTO interface after reading the User Manual.</p>
114
115 <p>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 personnel react in a timely manner to changes in the technological process and system operation. To achieve these goals, CENTO provides user notification and acknowledgement features alongside event logging.</p>

288
289 <p>An object on a mimic diagram can be configured to flash (blink) when an event is active. There are two methods:</p>
290
291 <h4>Method 1: Flashing by tag</h4>
292
293 <p>Use this method if the information model is not configured or not planned. Steps:</p>
294 <ol>
295 <li>
296 <strong>Set up an event</strong> with the triggering formula, for example, connection loss
297 (<code>ti40027171 != 1</code>) or restoration (<code>ti40027171 == 1</code>) — any tag
298 registered in the system can be used (Figure 2.13).
299 </li>
300 <li>
301 <strong>Create a calculated tag</strong> with the formula <code>[devstatusNN]</code> where
302 NN is the device ID (Figure 2.14). The tag to be used for the designated purpose may get
303 its value from a real device or may be based on other tags.
304 </li>
305 <li>
306 <strong>Set up an object on the diagram</strong>, referencing the calculated tag from step 2
307 in its rules (Figure 2.15).
308 </li>
309 <li>
310 After saving the diagram and updating the configuration, if the status of the NN device
311 changes, the system will start flashing the bound diagram object until it is acknowledged.
312 </li>
313 </ol>

329 </div>
330
331 <h4>Method 2: Flashing by information model object</h4>
332
333 <p>For this method, the information model must be configured and the required IM object must be selected in the event's <strong>Object</strong> field. The diagram object must be <em>active</em> (see the Diagrams Development Manual) and bound to the same IM object. Steps:</p>
334 <ol>
335 <li><strong>Create an event</strong> with the IM object selected in the <strong>Object</strong> field (Figure 2.16).</li>
336 <li><strong>Create an active diagram object</strong> bound to the same IM object (Figure 2.17).</li>

403
404 <p>There are three filter types that control when notifications are sent:</p>
405 <ol>
406 <li><strong>Operation threshold</strong></li>
407 <li><strong>Iteration period</strong></li>
408 <li><strong>Dispatch period</strong></li>
409 </ol>
410
411
412 <p>When configured without any restrictions, a notification is sent whenever any of the configured events is triggered.</p>
413
414 <h4>Operation threshold</h4>
415
416 <p>A notification is triggered when the total number of triggered events in the notification reaches the configured threshold. If the threshold is 0, the notification is generated immediately after any event triggers, provided the other filters allow it.</p>
417
418 <h4>Iteration period</h4>
419
420 <p>The iteration period starts from the time the last notification was triggered. It is set in days and hours. If set to 0 days 0 hours, notifications are generated and sent immediately when the other filter conditions are met.</p>
421
422 <h4>Dispatch period</h4>
423
424 <p>If set to 0:00&ndash;24:00, notifications can be sent at any time of day. If set to a specific time (e.g. 8:00), notifications are batched and sent once at that time. The dispatch period can only be set within a single calendar day.</p>

431 <h4>Changing notification settings</h4>
432
433 <p>When notification settings are changed at any time:</p>
434 <ul>
435 <li>The <strong>operation threshold counter</strong> is preserved but the notification will not trigger until the next event after the threshold is reached.</li>
436 <li>The <strong>iteration period</strong> is reset.</li>
437 </ul>
438
439
440 <p>Examples:</p>
441 <ol>
442 <li>Threshold = 5, 3 events triggered. User increases threshold to 10 &rarr; notification fires after 7 more events (total 10).</li>
443 <li>Threshold = 10, 7 events triggered. User reduces threshold to 5 &rarr; notification fires after the next event (total 8 triggered events).</li>
444 <li>Iteration period = 10 hours, last notification sent 2 hours ago. Settings changed &rarr; iteration period resets and notification fires on the next event trigger.</li>
445 <li>Threshold = 10, notification has 3 events, event #1 triggered twice. User deletes event #1 from notification. When total reaches 10, notification is sent without event #1&rsquo;s messages.</li>
