'''Architecture for Control Networks''' ('''ACN''') is a suite of [[network protocol]]s for control of entertainment technology equipment, particularly as used in live performance or large -scale installations. For example, lighting, audio or special effects equipment. ACN is maintained by [[PLASA|Professional Lighting and Sound Association]] and its first official release was [[ANSI]] Standard E1.17-2006 - Entertainment Technology - Architecture for Control Networks. The standard was subsequently revised and released as ANSI E1.17-2010.
 
ACN was initially designed to be layered on top of [[User Datagram Protocol|UDP/IP]] and therefore will run over most [[Internet Protocol|IP]] transports including standard, inexpensive [[Ethernet]] and [[802.11]] (Wi-Fi) networks.
