Abstract
A terminal signal operation apparatus is disclosed for transmitting in a multiplex transmission system in both directions signals between the terminal signal operation apparatus and a central operation apparatus for centrally generating control signals for controlling a plurality of electrical devices at terminals in accordance with a signal generated by a signal source. The terminal signal operation apparatus includes a signal separation circuit for detecting the control signals transmitted from the central operation apparatus, a driving circuit whose input is connected to the output of the signal separation circuit for driving an electrical device in accordance with the control signals, a return signal generating circuit for generating a signal for transmission to the central operation apparatus upon detection of a malfunction of the electrical device or a malfunction of the signal source or a signal from the signal source so that the signals in both directions between the terminal signal operation apparatus and the central operation apparatus can be processed by a single circuit.
