The TS Tool Kit, a generic, fully data-driven, and user-configurable software system for supervisory, data acquisition, and control applications developed at CERN, provides a comprehensive framework to solve fairly complex process control problems requiring subsecond response time, without any need for conventional programming. The characteristics and benefits of this approach are discussed on the example of the new high voltage conditioning process for the electrostatic LEP separators.
