  CENTO is a multifunctional software platform for data collection, processing, and display.
  CENTO can be used to build various automated systems, for example: dispatching, control, accounting, diagnostics, etc.
  This guide describes the general steps for setting up CENTO software, as well as links to other instructions.

++=== DEVICES, TAGS, CHANNELS ===
  Operations for configuring the CENTO software are performed from the drop-down menu "Settings" (see Fig. 2.1) of the control panel at the top of the CENTO graphical interface.

++=== Creating a device tree ===
  Configuration begins with the creation of a tree of devices (sources of information). 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.

  An information model is a tool for describing the object of automation (physical objects, equipment, processes, etc.).  The information model allows you to reflect the structure and consolidate information on each created object in the form of attributes (measurements, reference values, regulatory documentation, etc.). The information model is widely used in CENTO: to simplify the configuration of large systems, to implement various functions, to differentiate rights by objects.

  On the page "Analysis of operational data" ("Analysis" - "Operational data") there is a tab "Time" (Fig. 11.1), which is designed for time control on devices capable of transmitting their internal time to CENTO. In order for such devices to appear in the interface, time is collected from them into a tag with a name, for example, "Device time" in a string in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.  Next [[image:1762756612986-850.png||height="24" width="25"]] , the system will find all tags with this name and compare the time specified in them with the time of the last polling of the device.
