Would that be sufficient on the PC side? You need one TWSocket instance per port you want to listen to. You can use that socket to send UDP datagram to the device. If all your devices ause the same port, then only a single socket is needed. You must use ReceiveFrom to know which device sent the datagram and SendTo to send the reply/command to the correct device. Contribute to the SSL Effort.
