Architecture for Control Networks (ACN)

Project Description

Architecture for Control Networks (ACN) is a network control protocol which is used in the entertainment industry.

This open source project aims to provide a full implementation of this standard and many of the sub protocols associated with ACN.

This project was moved from Codeplex after codeplex shutdown, all development has been moved to GitHub. You can find the codeplex project at https://acn.codeplex.com.

Introduction

The ACN protocol is a suite of standards being developed by the lighting industry for control of lighting fixtures and other devices used by the entertainment industry. The first release of the protocol is ANSI E1.17 and other stndards have been released which form part of the suite. You can find out more about ACN on wikipedia or on the PLASA Technical Standardswebsite.

This implementation of ACN is intended to be used by projects which wish to add ACN capability to their products. The code is written in C# and fully managed.

Supported Standards

This project is under continuous development and further protocols will be added. Here is a list of the current support provided by this library.

Protocol Name Standard Implementation Status Comments
Root Layer Protocol (RLP) ANSI E1.17 Complete
Session Data Transport Protocol (SDT) ANSI E1.17 Not Implemented Coming soon...
Service Location Protocol (SLP) RFC 2609 Complete Directory Agent Not Included
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) RFC 2030 ANSI E1.30-3 - 2009 Complete
Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) RFC 1350 Not Implemented
Device Description Language (DDL) ANSI E1.17 Not Implemented
Device Management Protocol (DMP) ANSI E1.17 Partial Only parts required for SACN have been completed.
Streaming ACN (sACN) ANSI E1.31 - 2016 Complete Updated to E1.31 2016
RDM Extension (RDMNet) ANSI E1.33 Complete Draft Edition of Standard, should only use for prototyping purposes!
Remote Device Management (RDM) ANSI E1.20 Complete

Samples

As well as implementing the ACN protocol this project also includes some samples which demonstrate the use of the library and provide tools for testing ACN,RDM and ArtNet devices. Even if you are not intending to use the library these tools may prove useful when developing ACN devices. Here is a list of the samples available.

Name Description
RDM Snoop Discovers RDM devices and gives full control over the devices through ArtNet or RDMNet. Provides a packet log of all RDM traffic. Ideal for setting up RDM devices or diagnosing RDM faults.
Streaming ACN Snoop A simple application for sending and recieving sACN data.
Sandbox ACN Device A configurable ACN dummy device for testing purposes.
SLP Discovery A simple SLP discovery agent for testing and diagnostic purposes.
SntpServer An application based SNTP server.
SntpUpdate A command line util to query a single NTP or SNTP host and optionally update the system time.
