ANSI E1.17 – 2025, Entertainment Technology – Architecture for Control Networks (ACN) is a suite of documents that specifies an architecture, including protocols and language, which may be configured and combined with other standard protocols to form flexible, networked audio, lighting, or other control systems. It can be implemented on networks that support UDP, IP, and related protocols.

It’s now available for download from the TSP’s Published Documents page, found at https://tsp.esta.org/freestandards, and can also be purchased from both ANSI’s Web Store and the Accuris Standards Store.
