'''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.
