When the external dry contact signal is disconnected, the PLC receives the stop signal, the coil of the first relay 7 de-energizes, the coil of the second relay 8 is energized, the start indicator light 9 goes out, the stop indicator light 10 illuminates, the first exhaust fan 16 and the second exhaust fan 17 stop, and the air inlet louvers 18 close. Simultaneously, the PLC collects the first exhaust fan operation feedback signal 19, the first exhaust fan fault feedback signal 20, the second exhaust fan operation feedback signal 21, and the second exhaust fan fault feedback signal 22, and feeds these signals back to the fire alarm control panel via the 485 communication port.
