AB  - In the modern synchrotron light sources, the higher brilliance leads to shorter acquisition times at the experimental stations. For most beamlines of the fourth-generation source SIRIUS, it was imperative to shift from the usual software-based synchronization of operations to the much faster triggering by hardware of some key equipment involved in the experiments. As a basis of their control system for devices, the SIRIUS beamlines have standard CompactRIO controllers and I/O modules along the hutches. Equipped with a FPGA and a hard processor running Linux Real-Time, this platform could deal with the triggers from and to other devices, in the order of ms and µs. TATU (Time and Trigger Unit) is a code running in a CompactRIO unit to coordinate multiple triggering conditions and actions. TATU can be either the master pulse generator or the follower of other signals. Complex trigger pattern generation is set from a user-friendly standardized interface. EPICS process variables (by means of LNLS Nheengatu*) are used to set parameters and to follow the execution status. The concept and first field test results in at least four SIRIUS beamlines are presented.
