The invention provides a universal high-power IGBT driving controller and a control method. A GDU is powered on, and a performable logic device is configured by a superior DCU; a CPLD transmits an instruction preset by the DCU and a user operation instruction to an FPGA to be subjected to pre-setting and processing by the FPGA; the GDU receives a pulse signal from the superior DCU through optical fiber, drives and an the IGBT to act according to the pulse signal under the premise of passing self examination, and monitors each level of voltage of the IGBT in real time, and performs real-time feedback; and when a monitored object is in an abnormal state, a fault monitoring module performs fault judging and performs alarming through an indicator lamp, and feeds back the fault to the superior through optical fibers. Specific to solve the problem that the existing IGBT gate drive control circuit cannot support high-level logic design and cannot control various kinds of types of IGBTs and the like, the driving controller and the corresponding control method applicable to multiple kinds of IGBTs and with universality and capability of realizing flexible programming control are provided.
