IP Based Device Control Synopsis

This document discusses a system for controlling devices over a network using an embedded web server. The system allows devices to be controlled remotely from any location connected to the internet. It uses a client-server model with the devices interfaced to a server system through a parallel port. Visual Basic is used to create interfaces that allow devices to be controlled from the server directly or from a remote client system through the internet using socket programming and a Winsock control. The goal is to enable remote on/off control, status checking, and activated control of devices over a network.

IP BASED DEVICE CONTROL

INTRODUCTION
When the world walked to the new century the needs of the man increased, which paved the way to new devices working with latest technologies. Earlier days the only way to control an electrical device was through switches. But if the device is a critical one, the switch has to be placed long away which may cause wiring problems. Remote controllers solved this problem by introducing a technology of wireless controlling by infrared rays. But its inefficiency to penetrate through obstacles made it a short range controlling tool. So both the techniques controlled the device, but the main limitation is that, they are short range techniques and the controller should be present in the device site. Also any one can control the device. Later by the emerging of embedded technology, intelligent devices where introduced with programmed chips inside so that the machine had taken up its own control to certain extend. Using this technology we can even make a device password protected. This project details a design for controlling devices through network. By the implementation of the design, one can control various electrical devices, using the embedded web servers from a remote location through intranet which may be extended to internet. Through this model one can off/on the device, can read their present status (whether on/off), control (vary the speed) and can activate one device according to other devices status through network (can control the Air conditioner according to the room temperature).

OBJECTIVE
The main objective of this project is to control the devices through network.

DESCRIPTION

As clear from the above block diagram it is clear that the device can be controlled from two different places. One from the server end itself and other from client end which is any place connected with the internet. The interfacing of the devices with the parallel port has been done using visual basic 6.0 interface. The socket programming of the devices, which is used to control the device from the internet, is also done with visual basic in which we have used the Winsock control of visual basic and made a client server system.
