An early [[Open-source software|open-source]] implementation of ACN was released as OpenACN<ref>{{cite web |url=http://sourceforge.net/projects/openacn/ |title=OpenACN |accessdate=2011-08-25}}</ref> and is available on [[SourceForge]]. This has been ported to a wide range of platforms, but it is limited in its scope and does not implement any DDL support.

There is yet another open source ACN project<ref>{{cite web|url=httphttps://acn.codeplexgithub.com/HakanL/ACN|title=Architecture for Control Networks project home page|accessdate=5 October 20112022-03-09}}</ref> on [[Codeplex]] which is implemented in [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]]. This aims to provide a full [[managed code]] implementation and includes code for several other related protocols.

A more recent and much more complete implementation in [[C (programming language)|C]] is 'Acacian,'<ref>{{cite web |url=https://acacian.bitbucket.io/ |title=Acacian |accessdate=2020-04-28}}</ref> which includes more features and DDL support.

There is yet another open source ACN project<ref>{{cite web|url=http://acn.codeplex.com/|title=Architecture for Control Networks project home page|accessdate=5 October 2011}}</ref> on [[Codeplex]] which is implemented in [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]]. This aims to provide a full [[managed code]] implementation and includes code for several other related protocols.

E1.31 (Streaming DMX over ACN) is supported on [[Linux]] ([[ARM architecture|ARM]], [[Intel 80386|i386]], [[x86-64]]) and [[Macintosh]] ([[PowerPC]]; i386, x86-64) by the Open Lighting Architecture.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://opendmx.net/index.php/OLA |title=Open Lighting Architecture |accessdate=2012-01-05}}</ref>

A [[Rust (programming language)|Rust]] implementation of E1.31 can be found on [[GitHub]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://github.com/lschmiererRustLight/sacn |title=rust-sacnRUST Sacn |website=[[GitHub]] |accessdate=20152022-1203-1609}}</ref>

ACN has been deployed in proprietary implementations by a number of companies, including its use by Electronic Theatre Controls (ETC) as the basis of their 'NET3' branded networked control infrastructure and by [[Shure|Shure Inc.]] in control of wireless microphones.
