172 +The table includes columns specifically designated for control and remote control settings:
173 +
174 +* **Resolution of TU** field specifies whether the ability to send remote control (recording) commands is enabled.
175 +* **Register address enable** specifies the address of the register in the device memory where the enable command will be written. The address should be a non-negative integer.
176 +* **Value for enable **specifies the value to be written to the register address to execute the enable command.
177 +* **Register address disable** specifies the address of the register in the device memory where the disable command will be written. The address should be a non-negative integer.
178 +* **Value for disable **specifies the value to be written to the register address to execute the disable command.
179 +* **Control resolution** field specifies whether the ability to send write commands is enabled.
180 +* **Write function **is completed according to the device manual. The mapping between write functions and their identifiers is provided on the //ID Directory //sheet (see Fig. 3.2.3).

206 +Afterward, check the file for any errors that may have occurred during configuration by clicking **Check.**
207 +
208 +If the check is successful, write the configuration to the database clicking **Save**. If errors are detected during the check, eliminate them and repeat the process until all errors are resolved.

210 +== 3.3. Setting up control in the information model ==
211 +
212 +The Information Model (IM) is an add-on to the structure recorded in CENTO.
213 +
214 +The IM classes define the types and subtypes of all devices on the site, ensuring the system knows which parameters to expect from these devices.
215 +
216 +To add //Control// to the IM, download the Excel file from the **Configuration files** menu item under **Information Model Classes** (see Fig. 3.2.1), or configure it using the web editor by going to Information Model Editor > Classes (see Fig. 3.3.2).
217 +
218 +In the downloaded file, first create a new class //Write value// in the //List of Classes// sheet. Then, create a separate sheet where the **code** name matches the tab name (see Fig. 3.3.1).

222 +Figure 3.3.1. Value for writing class with attributes in Excel file
223 +
224 +
225 +This class has four attributes to be specified exactly as shown in Figure 3.3.1:
226 +
227 +* **Tag ID **is a mandatory field;
228 +* Optional fields include the lower and upper limits of values, which define the range within which any values can be entered. The **Value variants** field is provided for convenience, allowing to select from predefined options instead of manually entering values. To use this feature, specify a reference to the directory in the **Type** column, such as// ref_value_variants //(see Fig. 3.3.6). This reference can then be used to select the desired numeric parameters (see Fig. 3.3.7).
229 +
230 +Check the created //Write value// class on the classes editor page:

235 +
236 +Next, create a class, for example, Motor, to be used to control the IM object. For this class, add attributes with the reference to the class //Write value //in the **Type** column (write the class **code**):

248 +In the IM object editor, create an object with the class //Motor//. In the **Attributes** table, set tag ID, upper and lower limits, value variants (if necessary, reference book is to be created) for configuring.

253 +
254 +To add aliases of values for writing, download a template from the **Information model references** block (see Fig. 3.2.1). Next, open the downloaded file. On the sheet //Categories,// add the code of the directory and its name:

258 +Figure 3.3.6. Configuring IM directory
259 +
260 +The added directory should be placed on a separate Excel tab, with the tab name matching the directory code. The table structure for the directory should be copied from the provided templates, and the values for writing should be entered into it (see Fig. 3.3.7). These values can later be selected during control operations on the diagram (see the “User manual” for details).

265 +
266 +IM directories can also be configured using the web** Information Model editor** on the **Directories** tab. The directory shown in Fig. 3.3.7 is displayed in the web interface as illustrated in Fig. 3.3.8.

271 +
272 +IM settings allow sending both single and multiple remote control commands. Remote control is configured in the same way as control, but uses its own set of system commands.
273 +
274 +* **Single remote control command of an IM object**
275 +
276 +If an IM object is intended for remote control from a diagram, the following system attributes are added to the object's class (see Fig. 3.3.9)

280 +Figure 3.3.9. Adding remote control attributes to the Switch class
281 +
282 +Values for these attributes should be specified for class elements (see Fig. 3.3.10):
283 +
284 +* telecontrol_on_ti – Tag ID for switching the object on;
285 +* telecontrol_off_ti – Tag ID for switching the object off;
286 +* telecontrolled – flag indicating whether the object can be controlled (TRUTH – remote control is available, FALSE – not available).
