54 54  CENTO is a multifunctional software platform for data collection, processing, and display.
55 55  CENTO can be used to build various automated systems, for example: dispatching, control, accounting, diagnostics, etc.

The device tree is formed based on the convenience of further work with this tree and can reflect either the structure and names of the places where information sources are installed, or (in the case of small projects) combine information sources and production facilities of the enterprise.  This tree is necessary for the subsequent attribution of all sources of information and the information itself to this structure.
