Abstract	As part of the LHC Injector Upgrade (LIU) project, the controls of the PSB and PS injection kickers at CERN have been upgraded during Long Shutdown 2 (LS2) from heterogeneous home-made electronic solutions to a modular and open architecture. Despite both kickers have significantly different functionalities, topologies and operational requirements, standardized hardware and software control blocks have been used for both systems. The new control architecture is built around a set of sub-systems, each one with a specific generic function required for the control of fast pulsed systems such as equipment and personnel safety, slow control and protection, high precision fast timing system, fast interlocking and protection, pulsed signal acquisition and analysis. Each sub-system comprises a combined integration of hardware components and associated low level software. This paper presents the functionality of the different sub-systems, illustrates how they have been integrated for the two different use-cases, discusses the lessons learned from these first implementations and identifies possible evolution in view of deployment in other installations during Long Shutdown 3 (LS3).
