  The control of high intensity beams in a high energy, superconducting machine with complex optics like the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is challenging not only from the design aspect but also for operation. To support the LHC beam commissioning, operation and luminosity production, efforts were recently devoted towards the design and implementation of a software infrastructure aimed to use the computing power of the beam dynamics code MADX-X in the framework of the Java-based LHC control and measurement environment. Alongside interfacing to measurement data as well as to settings of the control system, the best knowledge of machine aperture and optic models is provided. In this paper, we present the status of the toolchain and illustrate how it has been used during commissioning and operation of the LHC. Possible future implementations are also discussed.
