abstract = {The Compressed Baryonic Matter (CBM) is a fixed-target
experiment which will explore the QCD phase diagram through
heavy-ions collisions using the beams from the SIS100
accelerator at FAIR. Its physics program characteristics led
to a choice for a self-triggered and free-streaming data
acquisition, followed by an online full reconstruction and
selection chain in software. Such a system can operate
reliably and efficiently only with a performant Experiment
Control System (ECS) to ensure the synchronization and data
quality of all sub-systems. The development of a
CBM-specific Python based solution, focused only on the
Experiment Controls and on the upper layer of Detector
Controls (state and configuration propagation), was chosen
after looking at existing solutions. It is divided in three
packages, from an experiment independent modular core to
user interfaces, in order to allow maximal quality checks of
the core functions. This article presents the design choices
for this ECS, the technical core package, the CBM ECS
implementation package and the demonstrator GUI package
based on it. All three packages are now available in
demonstrator versions, with test coverage and typing
coverage both above $90\%$ for the core package. They will
be deployed for validation in the CBM demonstrator, mini-CBM
(mCBM).},
