Virtualization of functioning ethernet device for operation of power load by existing IP networks

The way of creation of real behavior of virtual Ethernet device for operation of power load by IP networks, using software products LabView and Builder C ++ is considered. As a virtual Ethernet device IP-dimmer is presented, which operates five active loads of 220 volt. The power part of the device is fulfilled on the simistors the operation of which is carried out by the microcontroller. The virtual device and the program of its operation contain network UDP-socket component – the main interface between the device (server) and program support (client). For visual mapping of the state of the virtual device work the voltmeters, the indicator of power change on loads and the window of IP-packages reception are entered in addition. The program part of the client and the server has the unit of time saving of all transferring and accepting commands accordingly. Thus, there is a possibility not only to observe the functioning of the virtual device, but also to spend a calculus of its operation.
