  The CompactRIO (cRIO) platform is the standard hardware choice for data acquisition, controls and synchronization tasks at Sirius beamlines. The cRIO controllers are equipped with a processor running a Real-Time Linux and contains an embedded FPGA, that could be programmed using Labview. The platform supports industrial I/O modules for a large variety of signals, sensors, and interfaces. Even with many commercial modules available, complex synchrotron radiation experiments demands customized signal acquisition hardware to achieve proper measurements and control system’s integration. This work aims to describe hardware and software aspects of the first custom 8-channel differential digital I/O module (compatible with RS485/RS422) developed for the Sirius beamlines. The module is compliant with cRIO specification and can perform differential communication with maximum 20 MHz update rate. The features, architecture and its benchmark tests will be presented. This project is part of an effort to expand the use of the cRIO platform in scientific experiments at Sirius and brings the opportunity to increase the expertise to develop custom hardware solutions to cover future applications.
