The invention discloses an initiation controller of an electronic detonator and a control method thereof. According to the initiation controller, a photoelectric coupler is used in a communication unit, so that electric signals are isolated, and the safety and reliability of communication are increased; the PC (Personal Computer) communication unit is used, so that two-way communication between the initiation controller and a PC is realized, and the blasting sequence is designed in advance by virtue of the PC, so that automatic setting is realized, thereby simplifying spot operation; a communication module of the electronic detonator is used, so that two-way communication between the initiation controller and the electronic detonator is realized, and accurate management and control of the initiation controller over the electronic detonator in an initiation process are guaranteed; an authorizing device and a locking device are used in a human-computer interaction unit for double insurance, so that the safety of the initiation controller is greatly increased; positioning information is obtained by a positioning unit on the basis of a Beidou positioning chip, so that the electronic detonator is accurately positioned, thereby guaranteeing an automatic setting function that the delay time is intelligently distributed according to position information of the electronic detonator.
