Two closely spaced (28 ns) electron bunches are accelerated in one RF macro pulse up to 3 GeV. A high stability resonant kicker system and a Lambertson septum magnet are used to separate the bunches and to send them to the respective beamlines. The resonant kickers control system consists of various hardware and software components whose tasks are the synchronization of the kickers with the electron beam, pulse-to-pulse amplitude and phase measurement, generating pulsed RF power to excite a resonating deflection current, as well as movement of the mechanical tuning vanes of the resonant kickers. The feedback software monitors and controls all the important parameters. We present the integration solutions of these components into EPICS.
