LLRF is commonly used with many different setups depending on the aim: preparation, calibration, conditioning, commission and others. These different setups are strongly connected to another important system on accelerators: the Timing System. This proceeding presents how at ESS we implemented the integration between LLRF and Timing systems on the control system scope. The integration of these two systems provides different and important features as: allow different ways to trigger the RF system (synced or not to other systems), define how the RF output will be defined (based on the features of the expected beam), re-configure LLRF depending on the timing setup and more. This integration was developed on both ends, LLRF and timing, and is mostly concentrated on the control system layer based on EPICS. Dealing with the different scenarios, synchronicity and considering all the software, hardware and firmware involved are some of the challenges of this integration. The result of this work was used during the ESS accelerator commissioning in 2022 and will be used on next ESS accelerator commissioning in 2023.
