MedAustron is a synchrotron based centre for light ion therapy under construction in Austria. The accelerator and its control system entered the on-site commissioning phase in January 2013. This contribution presents the current status of the accelerator operation and commissioning procedure framework called ProShell. It is used to model measurement procedures for commissioning and operation with Petri-Nets. Beam diagnostics device adapters are implemented in C#. To illustrate its use for beam commissioning, procedures currently in use are presented including their integration with existing devices such as ion source, power converters, slits, wire scanners and profile grid monitors. The beam spectrum procedure measures distribution of particles generated by the ion source. The phase space distribution procedure performs emittance measurement in beam transfer lines. The trajectory steering procedure measures the beam position in each part of the machine and aids in correcting the beam positions by integrating MAD-XX optics calculations. Additional procedures and (beam diagnostic) devices are defined, implemented and integrated with ProShell on demand as commissioning progresses.
