A collection of C++ libraries for Lighting Control Protocols, focusing on ESTA sponsored ANSI standards.
The library encompases both the structured data being communicated between controllable components, and the control objects that expose the data in meaningful ways, without needing to know or understand the underlying protocols.
Control objects are structured thusly;
Serveral of the ESTA protocols use the E1.17 Protocol Data Unit to transfer data. The PDU
are a series of nested hierarchical data structures. PDU
may encapsulate one or more PDU
of an embedded protocol, or be a data endpoint for that protocol. The following slide describes the relational hierocracy of the PDU
within ACN
, sACN
, RDMnet
, and OTP
. While similiar in structure and concept, the PDU
in RDMnet
do not inherit directly from the PDU
in ACN
, and the PDU
in OTP
are notably simpler, as data segments may not be inherited from sibling PDU
in the data.
