Monitor modules are used get activation inputs from other systems in case of emergency condition (trouble or fire) such as Fire Fighting Systems, Fire Extinguisher Panels, LPG panels, etc,.
Control Modules are used to Control third party inter-facings like Elevators, Access Doors, HVAC systems, etc,. in case of an Alarm in FACP.
If there is a fire in a certain floor and its required to close all the dampers in that floor the order of closing them is done from the control module where as the status of the damper that it has closed will be sent to the panel through the monitor module.
In short control modules take order from the panel to apply a certain sequence, where as the monitor module will give feedback to panel it can be a trouble, or supervisory, or an alarm.
Monitor Module - As the name implies, it only monitors the status of the interfaced device. Eg : Engine Run, Flow Switch, Alarm Check Valve.
Control Module : It is just a relay which changes NC / NO in case of fire which controls the device Eg : Sliding Door, Elevators, Exhaust Fans
Monitor module as a input module its give singal to the FACP, control module as a output module its receive single from facp to control the devices
Yes,That is right.
Monitor module only display the status and Control Module Control the Device (NO/NC Changed) as per the fire condition.
Monitor module is input module, which mean that only give status to FACP, but control module is output module, which mean that FACP give CM its action in case of fire as programmed.
The monitor module acts as the indicator of the status of the system while the control module take and make the command of the system.
monitor modules are responsible for monitoring the alarm condition of the devices which does not have an address like pressure switch or vertical heat detectors while control modules are responsible for giving an alarm or activating bell and horn. its like monitor module are input device while control module is output device.
