A device and a method thereof for operating an electronic detonator having a response relay function are proposed. The device includes a command signal reception unit configured to receive a command signal transmitted from a blasting control system, a response signal transmission unit configured to transmit a response signal responsive to the received command signal to the blasting control system, and a response signal delivery unit configured to transmit the corresponding response signal to the blasting control system when a response signal of another electronic detonator adjacent within a preset distance is recognized.
