The image above shows the components needed to model a Controller:WaterCoil. I am doing this for the purpose of Dehumidification control on a system of type AirLoopHVAC:UnitarySystem. I happen to be using a coil of type Coil:Cooling:DX:TwoStageWithHumidityControlMode.

In theory, the Controller:WaterCoil is supposed to talk to the Humidity and Temperature Setpoint managers for a zone and adjust the amount of cold water in the coil. However, I cannot find actuator node description in the model. In fact, I don't see any cooling coil water inlet nodes in the model. This is required input for the Controller:WaterCoil "Actuator Node Name".

Is it a problem to use the IDF editor in doing this? Does and actuator need to be created? (I've tried this)

Thanks in advance!
