Controllers with parameters from a selected manufacturer are available, or a controller can be placed as a custom controller with parameters that can be specified after placement. Controllers do not connect to irrigation networks.

Click the tool.
Click Controller on the Tool bar to select a resource from the Resource Selector. Select from one of the manufacturer libraries, or select the custom resource from Custom.vwx and set its properties after placement. The parameters can be edited later from the Object Info palette.
