Class CIM_Controller
extends CIM_LogicalDevice

Controller is a superclass for grouping the miscellaneous control-related Devices that provide a classic bus master interface. Examples of Controllers are USBControllers, SerialControllers, and so on. The Controller class is an abstraction for Devices with a single protocol stack, which exist to control communications (data, control, and reset) to downstream devices. Note that a new abstract class (ProtocolController) has been created to model more complex interface controllers such as SCSI.
