Does the controller have a server socket that you are supposed to connect a
client socket to? Or are you supposed to run the server socket that the
controller will connect its client to?

Assuming you are supposed to connect a client to the controller's server,
then simply use a TIdTCPClient component. Set its Host nd Port properties,
call Connect(), then Write() or WriteLn(). As for reading the reply back,
that depends on what the controller actually sends back. It may be as
simple as calling ReadString() or ReadLn().
