Abstract The electron beam pulses of injector linac for the SuperKEKB collider are enabled and disabled by Beam Gate control system. This system controls the delivery of triggers to the electron guns at the injector. Also, the septum and kicker magnets for injection point of main ring are controlled with this Beam Gate to avoid unnecessary operation and to prolong their lifetime. The Beam Gate synchronizes the enabling and disabling operations of these hardware even though they are about 1km distant. Besides, from the phase-2 operation, the kicker and septum magnets for newly constructed damping ring becomes controlled apparatus of this system. We develop the new Beam Gate control system with the Event Timing System network*. The new system improves the unsatisfied performance of Beam Gate in the phase-1 operation and realizes the complicated control for phase-2. The advantages of new system are: the control signal is delivered via Event nettork, so that we do not need to cable new network. The enabling and disabling operations for distant hardware are surely synchronized by the Event Timing System.
