5 CENTO is a multifunctional software platform for data acquisition, processing and display. This manual describes how to configure the CENTO user tool Control.
6
7 It is assumed that the user, having read the "User manual", is already familiar with the basic elements of the CENTO interface.
8
9 This manual describes how to configure the Control service, which is used to send control commands to the objects being controlled.

11 2. CONTROL USING WEB INTERFACE
12
13 2.1. Control using the device, tags editor
14
15 A user with the appropriate permissions can control the object using the devices, tags, channels editor.
16
17 By default, for security reasons, in CENTO software, the Administrator role is not authorized for telecontrol and control operations, and the Dispatcher role does not have access to the devices, tags, and channels editor. To enable control and telecontrol using the editor, configure a custom role. For example, duplicate the Dispatcher role and assign it the necessary permissions to access and use the editor.
18
19 To control the device, navigate to the **Tags, channels** tab on the **Devices, tags, channels** page accessible in the menu: Settings > Devices, tags, channels. In the tree structure, locate the device whose parameters are to be controlled. All the tags with preconfigured control functionality will display either a **C** button (see Fig. 2.1) or a **TC** button (see Fig. 2.2) in the **Control** column.
20
21 **C** is an abbreviation for //Control//. **TC** is an abbreviation for //Telecontrol.// In CENTO software, //Control// refers to sending a non-negative integer value to a device, while //Telecontrol //refers to sending a discrete signal.
